Been playing Lego Voyagers as a family, it’s very special and one of the best Lego games out there. 2 player co-op only, it’s delightful, playful, puzzle platformer with building a core part of the game. Well done Light Brick Studio www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V6m...

I interviewed Ojiro Fumoto about POINPY!! and got great insights like: - Why he made it free (so kids who are used to Fortnite and Roblox would try it. Also, the Netflix money was good enough) - His favourite fruit (strawberries) - The game he wishes he made (Cinco Paus by @smestorp.bsky.social)

Poinpy's Revival Is Free, Because of the Kids

"I'm not fond of taking money from kids," says Ojiro "Moppin" Fumoto.

newsletters are rarely talked about in games marketing. here’s why i value them so much: - i ‘own’ my audience, instead of serving the audience of another platform (steam, discord, app stores, etc). - can be extremely effective. my last email to 5k subs had a 83% open / 35% click rate. (1/3)

GARBAGE COUNTRY has a publisher! Making a game is.. intense.. (a big game even more so.) For years you just work and the doubts and anxieties can really creep up on you.. it's so great to have someone in your corner 🥰

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
