JayMFernandes 🗣 MIGW / GCAP @jaymfernandes.bsky.social · 15d

I'm a veteran release expert in games who specializes in consoles, porting, audio, QA/UX + many other things through www.plasticfernstudios.com

If you want help from people who care deeply about games (and the health of their teams!) please reach out so we can help you! Check out some of our work

A collection of game title card images showcasing multiple games Plastic Fern Studios has worked on including Dispatch, Blippo+, Crossy Road Castle, Playdate, Goodbye Volcano High, Star Stuff, Dawnfolk, Sacre Bleu, Stray Gods, Ridiculous Fishing, Oxenfree, Oxenfree II, Escape Academy, Descenders, Nour, Virtual Virtual Reality 2, Salt and Sanctuary, Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, The Red Lantern, and Patrick's Parabox

Recent client statements from people Plastic Fern Studios have worked with. The first reads "Plastic Fern helped us successfully navigate the complex world of console development for Crossy Road Castle, a cross platform multiplayer game across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Their staff were extremely professional, experienced, personable, and worked with us as though they were part of our team. No hesitation to strongly recommend their services.

Robert Walkley, CTO
Hipster Whale"

the next reads " A big part of Playdate’s success is the games — and there are a lot of games! Plastic Fern was critical and instrumental in making sure Playdate shipped with solid, playable, enjoyable games, both in Season One, and beyond!

Cabel Sasser, Co-founder
Panic, inc."

The last one reads: "Plastic Fern has been an incredible team to work with for porting and maintaining Escape Academy, and gave us compliant and performant ports that were well received by our players. Extremely communicative, considerate, and schedule-conscious, with a deep knowledge of the technical intricacies of each platform. we'd strongly recommend them.

Amanda White, Co-Owner
iam8bit"

A screenshot of an article from Game Developer that reads "Deep Dive: Creating the touch controls for Descenders on mobile. The team behind the iOS and Android port of downhill freerider Descenders break down how they created the title's touch controls."

(The game is fantastic but you should help regardless!)

Alex @dirtbagboyfriend.bsky.social · Sep 3

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

Ah yeah that makes sense, Lots of stuff was truly "you had to be there" since its basically useless now. Same with games that had streetpass integration

Camping in the woods (but with a bathroom) in a nice site with the vintage caravan as a maiden voyage was the right move

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza.

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

All eyes needed.
