I'm starting work on a new game. I haven't formally announced it since it's super early (I just shipped another game last month and added multiplayer to it, NBD lol) If you want to follow the development of it, join my Discord! The link is on the Steam page for The Axis Unseen🤘

Feels kinda weird to do a #pitchyagame, but if you like our work on THE LONG DARK, you might also want to keep an eye on BLACKFROST, the sequel, launching on Early Access next year (and yes, TLD Ep 5 ships this year...) More info and to wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/1586260/...

Warner Bros' closure of Monolith Productions is dreadfuly sad. This is an under-appreciated studio that has made banger after banger, and pushed the industry forward. Here's a quick video on Why Monolith Mattered youtu.be/qywq_1GVIGI

Had an idea in the shower last night, hacked together a few scripts, and although it's crude, I am happy to say that in-game editor access is quite achievable with Godot! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Also often true in game design. If you just explain a game mechanic, the player will struggle to recall, but if they figure it out through experimentation and clear feedback, it'll stick. I call this "sparky design": given 2 rocks to bang together, they get sparks, then they set the world on fire.

This series from @doublefine.com and @2playerproductions.bsky.social is a pretty amazing peek inside the realities of game development. I can't lie, the first episode triggered a little PTSD for me, for all the times I've been on teams that cared deeply about the work and the world did not.
