For any folks who may not know me from the other place, I’m Will 👋 I’ve been making games since I was a teen, most notably being a big part of Cult of the Lamb. Now I’m in Scotland working in AAA for a while. I post a lot of silly stuff tbh.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Haha I feel you man. It’s stunning. Feels a lot more like a real place.

I think Yotei's approach to the pulling the camera back and seeing a world with huge expansive areas that let you see the horizon and surrounding areas are working so so so well for me
