Better late than never for #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

I’m Sarah, game writer and narrative designer working on digital and tabletop games that highlight Middle Eastern stories. I’m an Egyptian queer with a loud personality that’s shrouded in a love of circuses and industrial metal 🤘

Nobody wants AI. Nobody wants photo realism. Nobody wants anything from Elon Musk. If you think you do, when you reeeaally stop and think about it, no you don't

Girls don't want flowers girls want the save room throne from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Screenshot of the save room from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness for the PS2. A man with grey hair sits contemplatively on a throne-like chair with massive wings behind it. The room is filled with glowing candelabra. Overlaid on the image is a blue UI box with two options: Save game data or Register Memorial Ticket location

Spotify needs to have options for epilepsy/photosensitivity warnings on the clips that play when you open a song. Why am I getting flashbanged flipping through music

Not to just echo what everyone else is saying but the vibes of this are just off. Hoping more info from GDC clears things up but... hm. Hm.

so good atmosphere and story with bad combat? NOW you're playing silent hill baby

Silent Hill f's new setting, story, and art design stand out, but its early combat seems like too much of a chore to be fun.

Our review: bit.ly/48z3AuK
Silent Hill f Review: Silent Hill f presents a fresh new setting to explore and a fascinatingly dark story to unravel, but its melee-focussed combat takes a big swing that doesn’t quite land. Still, some spectacular art design, imaginative puzzles, and a compelling lead character definitely earns a grade higher than a Silent Hill F; it’s probably closer to a Silent Hill B-. Score 7.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.
leslekieuart.bsky.social
I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.
