V/V UPDATE The PC demo build is up for review by the rest of the team. Going to see how hard it would be to insert the steamdeck reqs to have steam agree that it’s supported with a separate build, but it will have Windows and Linux. Worst case will do workarounds for Steam Deck like beta builds.

You do realize, I hope, that if someone shows up at an event with the specific intent of causing an uproar in order to get attention, screaming about it is only giving them the attention that they seek and will encourage them to try it again.

I’m so glad AC is always on 4th of July, nothing may be open for food but it’s so much more fun to spend the day in a space where you can just be a weird furry creature

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Also some V/V housekeeping for today: The demo will likely de delayed for the start of next month, why? Main one being Steam must review first the build as part of their hosting process Other reason being I am the main drv for level and moving states is annoying AF. Cont.

As a reminder, the popular game dev streamer “Thor” PirateSoftware has on multiple occasions lied to try and kill the petitions. It’s not as complicated as he tries to make it out to be. Please if you are EU read it and decide to sign on your own without others asserting what is is or is not

There is a pro-consumer rights movement for gaming right now called #StopKillingGames. It is currently try to pass an initiative to ensure that games that you pay for cannot be rendered completely unplayable after being sold to you, please consider supporting it.

Just got fully caught up with Witch Hat Atelier and it’s such a breathtaking manga. The plot doesn’t rely on Deus-Ex solutions but those born from the characters. And honestly the theme of “making problems you can’t solve into something you can” is something I will always take with me going forward

I feel like this year the game awards will be dominated by indie game dev, it just doesn’t seem like theres much GOTY fodder from AAA this year which is fine, and I hope that this helps AAA see that growth in this industry requires fundamentally different ideas from the standard corporate playbook

A few late night updates for V/V, we’re testing a few new movement changes regarding jumps, instead of tap vs hold jump we are swapping to a standard jump with an additional air jump available after. We hope this will help with making inputs feel more consistent as we move to launch a level 1 demo

My own little postmortem on FWA this year is that this felt like one person making a lot of decisions without consulting anyone. I think the individual panel hosts and staff in charge of specific spaces did really well (special shoutout to Ashi in the Video Game Room for all the support for us devs)

Ok I have been at my table in the game room most #fwa this year but the space management somehow feels worse than last year. My beef is that the drag show was impossible to get to, last year it was in one of the stage rooms at main why give it less space. Thats the one thing I wanted to see today

To anyone who came to my page for V/V Very sorry the steam page is not up currently. It seems Steam for some reason at the last minute decided I didn’t have something that I do. so until they are able to look again just follow me here and I’ll post as soon as it’s up.

ok Claire Obscur is a decent candidate for GOTY already. Story is interesting, combat system is super engaging and a nice blend of classic FF style turn based combat and modern ARPG combat systems with it's own style. Only downside is that fucking baguette skin LMFAO

I’m always throughly impressed by #PF2e. I’ve played in Strength of Thousands, Outlaws of Alkenstar, Prey for Death, some Abomination Vaults, am running Season of Ghosts, and preparing to play in Kingmaker. The system always feels fresh and interesting and never “solved” like 5e did

As a programmer, they can be useful for getting a shell of something that is simple in concept but annoying/tedious to program (specific recurrsive loops, nested loops, or long switch cases) This does not mean it is a replacement for people. I’ve seen people use GPT as their code and it’s not good

I just finished watching Pose and it is easily one of the most topical queer pieces I’ve seen recently. This is about the 80s/90s and how queer culture survived in spite of HIV and drugs, a past that seems way too likely to repeat. It’s not a documentary but it is based heavily in factual history

The thing that gets me about genAI is that, even if these LLMs really did everything they promised (they don't), humans pursuing knowledge and art would still be worthwhile to prioritize. There's an over-valuation of speed and "efficiency" over thorough, meticulous concentration.

Bruh our professor (who has clearly never played a video game before and yet runs game design capstone class) said that screen wipe death effects are “distracting” today and I feel like I’m going insane bc he kept inventing new reasons to dislike it… the effect will stay in but my sanity is not T.T

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new
