I didn't get into Virtua Fighter, and fly over to compete in Tokyo last year cause a 20 year old game is the biggest game. I didn't join a local martial arts club 'cause it was certified most effective sports for MMA. We should lean more into our passion, less on perceived hype.

"Why is it important that 'this game wasn't as big as the last one, look at the numbers!' Wait a minute, when did everyone become fuck-ass CEOs? Like, what happened? Why is this important? [...] It's not important. It's dearly not important."

Something @maxdood.bsky.social said today about communities resonated with me. "Why is everyone around every single game only focusing on numbers? You're not-- you don't need the game to be profitable. You don't need the game to increase your margins and shit. Why is everyone suddenly a CFO?"

I played `Tokyo Stories` today at Gamescom. If you have a mood for 90s low-poly and fixed camera angles. Please, check it out. tokyo-stories.info

It's an investigative RPG, where the rag-tag group needs to gather clues and interrogate NPCs (FFII), while gathering a cast of unique playable characters (FFVI), with a big focus on world-building and Active Time Events (FFIX).

I just wistfully daydream about society returning to the late 90s or early 2000s structure of dedicated websites and forums (and lower traffic and no infinite scrolling), where we log in for what we need, then get off it and live life instead of our current dependency

@iiotenki.bsky.social oh, thats interesting. I'd actually wanna read more on the doujin-side of development.

ANIMAL WELL @animalwell.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Extremely sad to think I'll never release another physical game for PlayStation. Releasing the physical versions of Animal Well was a huge motivator all throughout development. It really kills my desire to develop for the platform. I'm hoping they reverse this decision : (

As a company on a mission to preserve video games, we are deeply saddened by the recent news from PlayStation on ending physical disc production from 2028. We aim to do everything in our power to preserve video games to the best of our ability and will continue to do so for as long as we can.

Exact same thing crossed my mind. Are XVI/Revelation the last physical mainline FF games?

𝔸nsel Nettles「ネテル」 @anselnettl.es · 01/07/2026

Nintendo is not innocent in this, either. Most of their physical "key cards" are void of game data.

This comes on top of insane price increases. Like, what are we even doing at this point? I fucking hate where the industry is going right now. Layoffs galore, huge price increases, elimination of entire formats, massive dev cycles and with impossible stakes. Beginning of the end. :(

bring back the innovation and optimization game dev needs more craftmanship, such as Animal Well, and less "triple-a slop". ☕
