the most exciting part of indie games - that first external playtest

Danny Nanni @dannynanni.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I have worked with so many champions who are now not gunna be there there tomorrow at work. Being at Bungie means to be forged in the fires of incredible start-to-finish release cadences multiple times a year. Very few people do what they do, and the industry was better for it.

Today marks 5 years since I first showed up at @bungie.net as a contractor. 4 major expansions, 15+ seasons, and a whole Marathon later, thank you deeply from the bottom of my heart. It will never be enough.

As expected but still always manages to surprise me, The Midnight blew it out of the water with Syndicate. 17 tracks in full sync from top to bottom. You HAVE to listen to this one in order at least one time. The Afterglow couplet is a particular highlight.

Valinor (Intimate) will be streaming everywhere on 07.31.25. It’s been 5 years since I put out my first tiny little EP. I said that Valinor, as a song, was about the act of journeying. That’s true. But it’s about more than that.

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

If anyone is a cool video editor, i'm looking to update my portfolio reel, mainly with new Destiny stuff, and i do have a small budget so i guess just DM me? idk how this works.

I never do this but this is too funny since I was the designer for both Storm’s Keep and On The Prowl. I was also the designer for Banner of War and The Wanderer. It’s just super funny to me.

Happy release day! I put a ton of effort into Heresy abilities and it's so bittersweet seeing the last set of aspects and updates I played a major part in designing going out into the wild. As always it takes a village and the Combat Gameplay team is the best in the business❤️

I got to chat with @woodwould.bsky.social about the designing of Slayer's Fang! Completely humbled to get to do what I do. This is so surreal. Thanks for the chat and thanks for a great first week of Slayer's Fang out in the wild! www.gamesradar.com/games/destin...

This is true. Games are little evil pieces of software who no matter how many times you thought you wrestled it into submission, the game will always find a way to remind you that you are a mortal fool. Games aren't released; they escape.

happy new year. in 2025 i hope humans are kinder to each other and i hope the video game industry sees massive success both for the people that make the games and the people that play them - we're all in this together.

This is maybe a hot take and maybe I am not the right person to say this. but I don't think mockingly accusing cis people, even absolute villains like Musk, of actually being trans and calling them wrong names/genders is helpful to or supportive of actual trans people.
