Gravity Well @gravitywell.games · 7h
When we started Gravity Well our goal was to create the best place in the world for developers to do their best work. Sadly, today we're having to take a big step back in achieving that goal. Gravity Well lost our funding this summer and have been searching for a new partner. We haven’t secured funding yet.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Gravity Well has had to say goodbye to the majority of our team - over 40 amazingly talented developers.

Everyone was informed of the situation as it was unfolding, and have been aware of this possibility if we were unsuccessful in finding new funding. We take it seriously that the team has stuck with us throughout this process, hopeful that we could find a solution before funds ran out. We are truly sad that we couldn't get it done in time to keep the team together.

Gravity Well will continue with a much smaller team as we continue to fight for survival, but given the current state of the industry our future is uncertain.

To the team members affected today: know that you are appreciated and that this isn't a result of your skillset or ability. We are heartbroken to be sending you out into this job market.

If you see someone from Gravity Well apply for a role at your company, please consider them. They are amazing and would make any development team stronger. We will deeply miss being able to work alongside them every day.

Sincerely,
Drew, Slothy, and Mon

writing in games should be closely linked with personification and progression. when we do level design we consider and manage the flow of the player’s attention, what to tempt with, what to highlight and what’s clutter. but it’s less common to give this sort of attention to narrative

arakawa is really the author of All Time to me because she somehow manages to tell a really heartfelt story while getting increasingly silly with it. she really said "i would like to do another long-running drama with suffering siblings, however this time there will be little creatures involved."

having a normal time writing a serious paper about my career
If tools are the language of production, then process is the syntax by which it is arranged. Now, when Producers talk about process, a chill washes over the room and the eyes of all those in attendance roll back into their sockets, tormented with visions of documentation purgatory and rigid rules around engagement. I think a really great process accomplishes three things: It offers a natural-feeling scaffold for completing tasks, supports open communication, and provides opportunities for play and discovery. 
Let’s stick with the syntax metaphor for a minute. Imagine you need to find a public bathroom. There are multiple ways to ask after one. Consider this non-exhaustive list: 
“Excuse me, do you know where the restroom is?” 
“Where’s your bathroom?” 
“Bathroom?”

really grim to repost a funny post and then go read an article in the athletic and go "oh no that was a joke based on a real thing"
1. In the offseason, the Sabres’ analytics staff put together a 50-plus page report on the team’s power play issues, what needed to be fixed and the characteristics of the best power plays in the NHL. Despite that thorough deep dive and plenty of work in camp, the power play came out flat. The Sabres were 0-for-5 on the power play on Thursday. In the second period, the Sabres had two full minutes of five-on-three after Mathieu Olivier took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. They failed to convert and had just two shots on net. Overall, they had five shots on net during the five power plays.
