if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

Earlier versions of the game did acknowledge the creators of the original games at the start of each section, and I consider it unacceptable that this was removed at Jon’s direction. Stephen Totilo noticed this change and wrote a nuanced article here: www.gamefile.news/p/a-complica...

A complicated game

Who gets credit for Order of the Sinking Star? Where should the names appear for the creators of its source material? And would you notice if a great game designer sat next to you?

Keeping an indie game studio running long-term is as easy as turning lead into gold.

Sometimes it's easier to visualize low-level #picotron runtime bugs using a renderer, but with the added risk of spending time playing with pretty glitches.

i feel like this is incredibly relevant to the indie game space too, especially with how discourse heavy + online it can be: web.archive.org/web/20260515... good food for thought. a big reason i don’t trust discourse topics in online discussion anymore is because narrative matters more than reality.
