So, I've pitched L8R SK8R to basically every publisher and haven't received any interest beyond a call. But if there's anyone out there who works at a publisher, or knows someone, and is willing to it a second look, that would be really great. The game is nearly done and I don't want to self publish

It's weird how devs from outside Australia talk about how the industry is in such a bad state post covid, meanwhile we still haven't recovered from the gfc

A lot of people really need to learn the difference between actual news and "some random thing that happened that you really don't have a place forming an opinion on and should absolutely not inform your world view"

Look, all I'm saying is the "would hunt people for sport if given the opportunity" and the "has the money to make that happen" Venn diagram has a lot of overlap

It's been a dream of mine to make a game with a physical release. In my head that's always been the thing that would make me feel like I've "made it" as a developer So I kind of take the death of physical releases a little personally. It's a weird feeling

If you're wondering why Trump claims he's stopped more wars than anyone else, while also starting a bunch of wars; It's because he's including all the times he's thought about bombing a country and decided not to.
