Seriously. Even if you are a monster, a person driven to hurt other people, an absolute piece of shit… Even THEN all the data demonstrates that prolonged crunch lowers productivity. Those who cling to it are ignorant, and with the evidence available, actively and intentionally so.

Now that June is done we can see how games industry layoffs are progressing. We can see that we had a significant number layoff waves in June, and the quarter was pretty bad overall. Quarterly trends are continuing to get worse on average (the white dashed lines) Annual revenue continues rising YoY

It's been a while since I said goodbye to Destiny 2. But I'm still sad to see where the game finally ended. It was a great experience for me, I hope Bungie continues the saga someday.

And here goes the last AAA studio in Spain. Not officialy dead, but officially screwed... In the past, Mercury Steam worked on games such as Clive Barker's Jericho, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Metroid Dread and the most recent new IP @bladesoffire.bsky.social.

Indie game devs - you need a producer. If you want your game to put coordinated and for the people in your team to be communicating well, that's a producer's job to facilitate! #gamedev #indiedev

THIS! This is something I'm tired of telling people. In videogames, there's this notion of working always on crunch even if it's not needed. From the production side it is really hard to make people understand that they are underperforming doing that. Rest, have a life, and you'll work better!

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

Sat down for a lovely chat with @clert.bsky.social over @eurogamer.bsky.social To talk about my games and how I'd like to keep making and improving them sustainably. To step away from the launch, meme and hype driven madness that has taken root in games. www.eurogamer.net/as-viral-hit...

eurogamer.net

As viral hits like Escape from Duckov and Megabonk change the industry, Falconeer developer Tomas Sala has found another way to survive

What if you didn't have to spin the roulette wheel every time you released a new game, hoping for it to find an audience? What if there was a better way?

I got a call from a recruiter to apply to an opportunity "because I am the perfect fit". And got rejected by an automated email the next day. I'm starting to think that there's a scam going on and there's really no jobs in the game's industry 🤡

Thinking about Silksong. There is a Law of the Sea that states when two ships intersect, the larger ship has the right of way. Due to mass, momentum, maneuverability, it's the responsibility of smaller ships to get out the way. Being a ship that big, I think it's important to broadcast your intent.

Weeell, Gamescom has ended....sadly. It was my first and it was a blast! The event is sooOoo BIG. The only thing I regret is not talking to even more devs. I've met incredible people, and it's always great to see the reaction to NetherWorld. I hope I can be there next year too!
