They did an amazing job with the character art too (building off of @christapaolucci.com's early work!)
But I really appreciate them as someone who I'm able to bounce ideas/designs/techniques off of and who is really smart and thoughtful about the work they do.
Thats all, Naud is the best lol.

High refresh rates are a scourge. You're at 60fps, having a great time. You see a 120hz screen, now you're ruined on 60. You glimpse 165, now 120 is trash. Some guy tries to show you 240, you shut your eyes, you don't open them til he's dead. You've killed a man now and for what

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Another IGF nom that cannot be ignored, imo
Perfect Tides: Station to Station has been nominated for two IGF awards:
-Excellence in Narrative
-Seumas McNally Grand Prize
This is such a tremendous honor, and what a nice hurrah as and the team and the playtesters and I race towards the finish line.
Nomination list: tinyurl.com/2zzt8sw4

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas.

The new preface to this great and depressing scholarly book gets into the explosion of sports betting and “prediction markets” since 2012’s 1st edition, plus well-meaning games-for-change types trying to harness dark patterns for good. Everyone within 30 feet of gamedev should read it.

canada, france, span, australia — TONS of great games coming out, all supported by government grants. the US is once again an exception and not the rule for extremely helpful government programs.
Clair Obscur sweeping so much shit just tells me we need more government grants for games

the truth is games aren't that expensive and don't take that long and aren't that hard to do. mfs just give funding to the wrong people and never stop fucking with em
look i wasn't gonna say anything but when you hear "10 years in the making" from a game by jonathan blow just know that a game never takes 10 years because of good employee relationships and clear leadership direction
