Game designers need to embrace rejections. [TOGE TALK - EP. 1] @kriegsfront.bsky.social game designer Daniel Hartono shares his thoughts on playtesting, feedback, inspiration, and lessons learned from making games at Toge Productions. Watch the full video on YouTube! youtu.be/xa2Cf2o-Bww

When discussing Minimum Viable Products, I believe Dyson’s way of building products is a better example for game devs. Instead of just iterating on a single genre over and over, we try expanding to different markets. Imagine doing R&D while still reusing our code and assets to make a new product.

I like to doodle as I explain things. I always end up doodling something like this on paper every time someone asked me about how to start a project/build a game studio. So I thought sharing this as an infographic might be useful for aspiring indie gamedevs out there.

Thank you, Chris & PMG for once again shedding light on this. I hope the game industry will no longer turn a blind eye to the abuse and exploitation that workers from low-income countries such as from Indonesia and Malaysia experienced.

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... (5/7)

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

Just watched Veritasium video on QR Codes and adding colors was mentioned. It reminded me of the paper I wrote in 2008 for my university degree. I proposed Color QR (CQR) for mobile content distribution. Turns out it’s been cited 22x and included in conferences. 🤪

I love the developer commentaries in Valve’s games. The HL2 anniversary update especially is a #gamedev masterclass. They got it all, from tech, animation, to level design, environmental storytelling, writing, voice actor, playtesting, and much more! Highly recommended!

The 20th anniv of Half-Life 2 is an amazing documentary! Great case study not only on game design and technical side of game development, but also on the legal side. Managing battles with both, a hacker and a predatory publisher…while also running out of money. m.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjN...

🧵 I’ve been working on 2 games in paralel. The left pic is Kriegsfront Tactics’ (KFT) wishlist, the right is Whisper Mountain Outbreak (WMO) KFT slow start, it only picked up speed once we released our playable demo. WMO on the other hand, strong start. Is horror genre really that strong?
