Ozymandias
Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

It’s been approximately 3 years since I began work on Balatro - and in that time I have personally documented almost nothing about the journey. This is something that has bothered me since the game la...

It is kinda funny that people are going wow Canada seems pretty united and pissed off and yeah I guess threatening to take over someone’s homeland and trying to economically ruin them might make folks a little upset that’s wild

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.
An dusty, industrial looking control panel in a wall. There are two big white square buttons on it. The one on the left has a red border and the letter 'i' touching the bottom, representing a person stuck to the ground (the dot of the i being their head). The 2nd button also has a red border, but inside the button is an upside down stickman figure, arms and legs spread out. To indicate this person is floating around helplessly in zero-gravity.

Excited to announce this new game, for me a personal project of the last year and my first chance to be a lead writer.

Fear and Hunger is hard, but in a very fun and enjoyable way. I just wish the dialogue wasn’t full of spelling and grammar mistakes. Hire a real Game Writer!

Is there a man, whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to steer, Yet runs, himself, life's mad career, Wild as the wave, Here pause-and, thro' the starting tear, Survey this grave.

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.
