It's almost time for #evojapan2025! If you're attending the event, stop by our booth and give the latest build of #nightmareoperator a try! We're very interested in getting feedback from the FGC in regards to how we've integrated fighting game mechanics into NIGHTMARE OPERATOR.

Fellow Unity devs, what's your preferred solution of UI with the engine? Have you ever shipped a game with UI Toolkit? Do you have a preference for a third-party option? #gamedev

As a publisher, few things make me happier than putting together a project like this. Giving the devs a huge, premium quality celebration of their work, all while making it easy, and letting them continue developing uninterrupted. And for the fans, new insights, untold stories, beautiful art!

I finished Metaphor. I think it is the best game that team has ever made. It’s actually crazy how there are zero misses on the cast. One of the greatest RPG parties of all time, if not the greatest.

Nolan Joseph @nolanjosephjp.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Metaphor is prescient about the post-release near future in the same eerie way that Death Stranding was disturbingly prescient about the COVID-19 panic. Metaphor feels like a response to 2025, not a game that came out the year before.

Just want to note that generally I am not seeing people saying that violence/violent resistance is never justified or never works. What I’m seeing—and what is inarguably just good basic opsec—is “don’t fucking fedpost, you stupid shitheads”

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

I’m left with a certain sinking feeling that says if the Nintendo delay picks up steam and points a lot of new fingers at Trump, the administration will vindictively start picking apart the whole industry under the guise of “video game violence is destroying the youth” or some such shit.

BTW if you need another reason to follow this team and their game Nightmare Operator: I'm executive producer on it. I've been working with them on the side for over a year, helping to focus the story, hone the vibes, and crunch the mechanics.

a breakthrough for me as a designer was the realization that games are in fact a complex neuro-chemical reward schedule. when designing a game youre deciding what chemicals are going to be released in someone's brain, at what time this has ethical implications, and should be regarded carefully

After 20 years, the members who worked on Silent Hill 2 got together (the guy, Usagi Tanaka, with glasses on worked on only SH3, tho). Although a couple of them had already left the restaurant, we had a great time together. We all promised to get together again and everyone seemed to be doing well.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

I was hearing mixed reviews on Squid Game season 2, but so far I’m loving it. The criticism somehow feels even sharper than the first season, and the cinematography has also stepped up, despite already being great.
