“A game where acquiring the game is the game” is honestly a great idea It brings back that classic quest trope I would honestly love to fight game store employees—for personal reasons…

Massachusetts game dev among those suing Trump administration over anti-trans passport policy
The lawsuit argues in part that policies denying Americans gender-affirming identity markers on their passports can harm the safety of game developers.

Good. A game should survive on its talents, not it’s marketing strategy. Unity’s probably pissed though right?

When I benched Altruist, I didn’t feel like I had wasted time doing it, if something doesn’t feel right about your game, you won’t be satisfied with its release. I wouldn’t say trash it, I’d say put it on ice and work on another project till you’re ready to make your decision on what to do with it.

To anyone out there considering making their own engine. Don’t? My advice would be focus on your game, if the game engine you’re using is bothering you in any way, there are hundreds of other better options. I’d recommend Gamemaker and Godot. They’re equally good.

You know you’ve hit a natural level of insanity when you start animating stickmen doing the Ukrainian Hopak instead of working on your game
