The new Timberborn update is awesome.
Cities can be HUGE now. I put all my storage in one place, all my manufacturing in another, and the Ziplines move materials between them super quickly.
Productivity is tanking. 📉
Let me know if you're interested in a key! 👇

Timberborn's got some of my favourite building in any citybuilder -- it's a modular mix of stackable pre-fabs and individual platforms you can make custom builds with.
Plus, controlling the water physics with dams + sluices is super fun.
I've got keys if anyone has yet to try it out! 👇

It's the craziest thing playing a game you know front to back, with the same sounds and levels, and everything looks completely different. I feel like my senses are tricking me, or I've fallen into a wormhole. Bizarre and delightful! #Oblivion

My toxic gamer trait is I need to be able to play all of my games in every single room of my house.
I spent all evening meticulously modding Stardew Valley in exactly the same way on three different devices so I can play the same save file everywhere.

Oof. Excluding annual releases (Madden, NBA), only 6.5% of play time in 2023 was for new releases.
"Tens of billions in development and marketing investment, and thousands of games, competed for 6.5% of total player hours"
Old data but graphed differently than last year. #gamedev

Probably the most significant contextual piece to this industry: labour costs, interest rates, inflation, real/perceived expectations on graphics + scape are all high while prices of games are falling in real $s.
