So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

Solo Leveling’s Adaptation and the Echoes of Anti-Korean Sentiment and Japanese Imperialism

Solo Leveling’s Japanese release removed all references to Korea–a glaring decision when the Jeju Island Arc blatantly parallels Japan’s colonization of Korea.

Today on Astral City Mini—inspired by Dragon Quest VII Reimagined's newly published critique—I muse on automation and friction in modern game design. For my money, I'd like an adventure to feel like an adventure.
Friction is Good, Actually
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined's review embargo weighed anchor this morning, letting loose a tide of critique. The overall consensus seems to be that Dragon Quest VII's second reinvention leans heavily into a modern design ethos, sanding off the game's edges in the name of "accessibility": more guideposting, fewer puzzles, easier combat. To me, it all sounds like something of a shame.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:
While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇
