Star Spark is a roguelite, turn-based fighter in which you battle your way through a survival tournament using real time combos and a deck made of attack, defense, and support actions. I recently added character unlocks 🙂 Steam page: s.team/a/3639950 #WishlistWednesday #GameDev #Godot

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

If you ever wonder how misaligned with reality the AI hype is with game dev, today I was reminded of a meeting where an AI bro tried to convince me his LLM tool would help games studios save money cus now they "don't have to hire 50 narrative designers". My guy, where you getting your information?

Clearly, videogame publishers should be making billions from reparations paid by gamers for committing decades of genocide against all those poor NPCs they created

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

PbtA fans, here's my challenge to you. For the next 12 months, when somebody asks how PbtA works, tell them that normally a 10+ is a critical hit, a 7-9 is a hit, and a 6- is a compromise, but that unusually challenging or dangerous situations can bump itdown.

there are basically 3 ways to make games: 1) little side project you do while you make money doing your usual thing 2) spouse/partner/family supports you 3) team up with some like-minded people who wanna make this shit work

I keep seeing people throw out the term "Covid Correction" for the mass layoffs we continue to see in the games industry. We're beyond that. It's far beyond the mass hiring during Covid. It's mismanagement, poor trend chasing, cuts of departments to use AI (not as much but happening), etc.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

1. "Intelligence" in regards to living beings is at best a loose umbrella term for a diversity of behaviors and systems and at worst an eugenicist project 2. "Intelligence" in humans does not emerge strictly from symbolic manipulation, nor does it correlate with symbolic manipulation
