This should not be controversial. You did the work, list the experience.
My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV.
I do with one. Never had any issues.
Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor.
A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading."
Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

This is actually one of my favorite backgrounds in the game too.
There are a LOT of backgrounds/ areas that I love in Rosewater, but this is probably my favourite!
Something about the lighting, and the colours in the sky against the dark mountains just speaks to me!

horses is a truly unique horror game that i've been looking forward to for a while and it absolutely kills me that steam (a platform filled with ai slop btw) won't allow it on its platform

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

The harassment is never going to stop as long as the companies give in. They're going to fire every person of color, everyone in the LGBT community, every woman, and that still won't placate the "trolls." They'll just assign white male employees they don't like the title of "liberal" and keep going.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

Absolutely loved working on Mythmatch with Moo! What a joyful game and lovely team 💕
Hilde (@heksen.bsky.social) wrapped on Mythmatch in February of this year.
She did amazing work on the Mortal Realm map design. I'd just throw in everything that the map needed functionally, and she'd lay it out to feel like a living, breathing space that also looked nice!

Mythmatch is getting to the point where some folks are wrapping up their tasks and also, others wrapped long ago, but I'm only realizing now. So I'm going to quote tweet this post to talk about them.
But if you see this, you can see their work in action here:

I hate the "don't feed the trolls" approach. I can tell you from experience it doesn't work. As a woman in games, I've faced my share of harassment. Every time, I've been told by male peers to "ignore them". It's never worked.
Stand up for your marginalized peers. It's the least you can do.

This “don’t feed the trolls” rhetoric is exactly what I got when harassers were flooding my inbox with death threats + calling local police in an attempt to SWAT my house. It’s outdated and ridiculous

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Going to shamelessly use this to remind people that if you’d like a historian who is also a writer and narrative designer to bring some of these perspectives to your game, then in the new year I’m available for work

Great thread and investigation. Exactly what we all assumed: the ‘confidential information’ was wages and work conditions discussed in a worker-only Discord, not leaking anything about the game. Pure union busting.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Still working night and day on The Mermaid Mask. I've never worked so hard or for so long on anything! Apologies again, about being so quiet for so long. It's been a real 'head down working' kind of year.
