Two weeks ago, we posted an opening for an environment artist @ms80.space.

As of today, we've had 1,270 applicants. There are so many talented artists applying to our little indie team. It's inspiring to see interest in our team and also heartbreaking to see how rough the industry is right now. :(

Hey if you're any kind of director on a team and you *have* to lay someone off, maybe be a human about it and talk to them and express your thanks for their incredibly hard work and wonderful art

Did you know that the developers of Valheim bought a horse after the game's success?

I bought us a horse, too!
Just kidding. I lied. I'm sorry.

To make it up to you, here's Saturday @ Second Half #28 — Gift Horse!
