It bears repeating that if you don’t own equity in a company (not stock, actual equity) and you don’t have a union, in the us there’s basically nothing to keep your company from screwing you over, unless they 1) explicitly break the law 2) get caught

Galactic Racer is my favorite racing game in ages, a game that scratches the same arcade itch as Wipeout, Burnout, and F-Zero GX. It is an antidote to the antiseptic, licensed car collection simulators we have grown accustomed to.

anytime i hear somebody has a personal pearl clutching reaction after, gasp, it's made clear that workers above or below you can't actively be your friend, alarm bells go off. there are an endless supply of underdeveloped mfs in this industry who completely lack the ability to compartmentalize.

i think the most damning indicator is the group that did no talking - the primary management layer. i am inclined to believe what tim said in his interview, and simultaneously believe it is impossible for him to have an accurate read when he's at the top. that comes down to tier 1 and 2 mgmt

fantastic profile of all the angles/ variables surrounding a unionization campaign, and how every employee's unspoken experience interacts unpredictability when they're all forced to the surface - even in a good faith environment. remarkably fair piece, even when it presents some damning points.

this article is really good with a lot of well researched interviews and perspectives and context as to what was going on in the studio. but sometimes. sometimes there's really only one sentence that speaks louder than all the others

so apparently this is an enhanced Riverhill Soft saturn port of a 1985 joint by Thinking Rabbit. with their combined pedigree i bet this game kicks ass

Most people don’t know what they want and feeding them the thing they say they want will never please them. It’s a completely hollow endeavor. Making entertainment takes skill and practice and passion, this junk will never satisfy.

There is a level of venom and spite in the writing that largely makes a movie a could feel lecherous end up feeling much more like deeply personal flailing of someone that feels isolated and insane trying to verbalise the pain and frustration they feel witnessing billionaires destroy the world.

they had no need to be desperate, is the thing! they were easily one of the best looking games that night, visually. if they set that foot forward they would have done exceedingly well.

for various reasons (which i still want to cover in a video on post-gaming), genre is the only tool we have left to introduce players of one game to another game, so indie game marketing strategy right now is /super/ focused on condensing genre labels for comparison. some people carry that offline!

thinking about when i was at a booth at PAX West with a very visually impressive, stylized indie game in front of me, and the first thing the (friendly and very reasonable, this isn't me shaming them) booth attendant said to me was "do you like cozy horror? :)"

It's such a sadness that you represent your game with a bunch of fucking Steam genre tags. Get real.
