I feel you. I usually end up using Obsidian for things I don't need to collab or share immediately, and Confluence for everything else. Worst case scenario is that I can version control the Obsidian vault fairly easily.

Mobygames is exactly where my mind went to when reading this post haha. I think the next time I work on a small team (and control the format for credits), I'm going to emulate what you've done here and use titles rather than more expanded descriptions.

Is "Together" on your list? That one did some psychological damage to me recently

Woah man, next thing you're going to tell me is that the 'U' in "USB" is supposed to be "universal"! Fairytales and poppycock 🫠

Howdy all! 🐻 It's been a while, but we're still alive, Locked-In, and still very expanding! January say the addition of the Programming wizard @potterness.bsky.social joining the team. He's been hard at work bringing the vision to life, and I'm hoping to share more, visually, later this year.

"Wait and see" seems to be the appropriate measure TBH, which I think means neither recommending TikTok nor disparaging it. It's really in limbo and is thus a business uncertainty. In the meantime I think it would be prudent not to promote it IMO

With the USA poised to ban TikTok (alongside leading efforts made by India), why should I as a game developer focus any effort on it? Seems futile to me.

Such a gem of a game. Shame Square likes remaking games that don't need to be remade, and ignores remaking the rough diamonds (Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy 8, maybe even Parasite Eve.)

It's 1am on a Friday, so... it's clearly time to mod Final Fantasy Tactics maps with a Tak board game theme.

The problem is that corgis have bottomless nuclear stomachs, so she could in fact eat 55 of every one of those in one day

Seems like I ought to do an introductory post, finally. Over the past few years @tupelohoney.bsky.social , her brother Taylor, and I have been working on a tactical RPG "Arcadian Atlas," which is coming out this month! Also here is dog tax, a deaf corgi-mix named Pickle.
