Grimoire of Blanks is a roguelite spellcrafting deckbuilder, How it works: your spell cards are blank sentences. You fill them with words from your hand to decide the effect, the target, how far to push it. Check out some gameplay footage! www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6t2... #indiegames #indiegame

I played the demo for Dinghai: The Ocean Pillar for about an hour. An ARPG/Roguelite based on Chinese mythology from Justdan. Loved the art and combat in it. English subtitles. Looking forward to seeing more of it. Check out some gameplay here! youtu.be/CAnqS4KXlpY

Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

Please hug your favorite physical gaming outlets. Its only a matter of time until Microsoft and Nintendo follow suit. Absolutely horrible decision. The era of owning your own games is coming to an end. This is going to have a devastating ripple effect.

I don't think I hated being a console gamer more than in the last two weeks. Xbox and PlayStation keep exchanging haymakers of terrible news.

We can boast about the Xbox Ecosystem and how widespread it is, but what good is that ecosystem if the executives keep killing everything keeping it alive. The incentive to stay with Xbox is diminishing further every week. Article from @jezcorden.com www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/...

Xbox has been promising 'State of Decay 3' for years — and now it faces cancellation, despite its trailers and alpha. What are we even doing here?

Increasingly it looks like Xbox's layoffs are going to be catastrophic.

The massive Xbox layoffs won't happen until after the fiscal year ends, but the company is already ending contracts and cutting vendors. So Assembly, Xbox's main PR agency, is laying people off today.

quick update: we've learned that studio leadership is apparently in some sort of "negotiations" with Microsoft over this, but not sure what the specific end goal would be if successful
