Laura is one of the most talented and collaborative writers AND leaders I’ve ever had the fortune to work with.

Your entire studio is better if she is there. Hire her.

Laura Michet @lmichet.bsky.social · 1d

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I love how the DK Bananza designers keep putting in puzzles from Mario or Zelda, except the solution is to just break the wall down.

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · 21d

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

As I'm working with my (now adult) kids as colleagues and collaborators in making games, I'm naturally reflecting on the skills I've practiced and cultivated myself, over the past 25 years.

Here's a skill I rely on constantly, I practice literally every day, and I find enormously rewarding:

“Chuffed.” I’d be so chuffed if I could use that word. So very chuffed.

For the SNES: Super Metroid was such a masterpiece. I also liked Earthbound, Final Fantasy 3, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, or Mega Man X.

NES: Kind of a deep cut, but I really loved Crystalis. Also Punch Out, Dragon Warrior, FF1, Bubble Bobble, Duck Tales, Tetris, Mega Man 2.

If you're interested in contributing to Ghost Hunter Simulator - we do ask our Patreons to help us name characters and places.

If you think you're super Punny, this might be your moment to shine.

Also - if you're interested in testing our beta - we're going to post information about that soon!

Absolutely gutted about Tom Lehrer.

97 is a really good run though.

Thanks for the music, Tom. And well done.

That’s the kind of one-word solution only a true pro would come up with. As we say in the game industry: Ship it.

Did you know: Miyamoto considered inventing Waluigi first, but realized he’d then have to call Wario “Waluiario.” Nintendos at the time did not have enough memory for this, so he invented Wario instead.
