I can't believe that Dot Com won the Cardboard Edison Award, it's a huge honor!! Massive thanks to the judging team for all their hard work and feedback, and to everyone who playtested the game. I hope to play all the finalists' games at some point, they all look super fun :)

Just try to process this.

The health ministry has released a new 1,000-page document with the names, ages and other info, of 52,959 Palestinians killed in Gaza.

For the first 100 pages (over 5,000 names), the age is listed at 5 years or younger.

The first 18 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year)

Hi Bluesky! I'm Sammy, a board game designer from the Seattle area. I plan to mostly post about game design along with other various life things on here :) Two of my fav in-dev games: Spy Moles, a roll-and-write played with invisible ink pens, and Dot Com, a frantic real-time economic strategy game

A photo of my game Spy Moles. There's a sheet of paper with a grid on it, and a blacklight shining on the paper reveals markings made by the player with an invisible ink pen. Surrounding the paper are cards and stencils

A photo of my game Dot Com. In the center of the table is a game board, with player pawns and cards on top of it. Each player also has their own personal board showing the actions they can take. Not pictured is the companion app for the game that keeps track of your money!

I feel similar 💙 making/maintaining connections naturally is extra difficult and I fear that people think I’m not operating in good faith - it’s a difficult dance I don’t understand but working with creative people is so worth trying to figure it out, even if that’s forever 🥲💙

Listening to a whole music album over multiple times is probably the best way to interact with an artist. The songs just hit you at different times and you find new favorites and appreciation 💿💖

I shouldn’t have to say anything to connect the dots but this is so sickening. The American government is actively outsourcing concentration camps, and indiscriminately imprisoning anyone who is in opposition of the government. That’s in violation of your first constitutional amendment.

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

Two large posters on off white paper with blue ink reading:

NO TYRANTS!
& NO KINGS!

In large wood type font. There is a large image cut of a wooden printing press with a banner of text above it reading “THE TYRANTS FOE THE PEOPLES FRIEND”

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Did you know that if you saved $100,000 a day every day from the birth of Jesus to today, you still wouldn't have 1/5th of Elon Musk's net worth? Does Elon Musk perform labor that is worth way over $100,000/day for 2000+ years? Or is something seriously wrong here?

Science Museum, London SW7 AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SUITE #reference #propreference

This suite was operational from 1975 to 1992, controlling the airspace over the UK. It has been set up to show how the Dover sector display might look.
Although technology is a vital element of air traffic control the work of the controllers relies
by automating some of the routine tasks such as making radio contact and communicating with the pilots.
The upper radar screen shows the South East corner of England and English Channel. It also shows the control zones around Heathrow, Stansted and Luton airports to the north and Gatwick airport to the south.
on skilled human judgement and the controllers have to make informed split-second decisions.
Technology will play an increasingly important role in the future in preserving 'thinking time'
The illuminated maps show arrival and departure routes in this area.

Hey, friends. I know the world is ablaze, and my problems are minor, but I need to take a chance. I love making music for games. 2023-2024 saw 5 projects I was working on get cancelled, and their studios shut down, and I haven't written a note since June.* Got any games that need music? #gameaudio

Title art from "Tchia", by Awaceb, a BAFTA, Game Award, and G.A.N.G. Award-winning open-world adventure game set in a fantastical version of New Caledonia.
I had the privilege of composing its original score, designing its playable ukulele and rhythm-game sections, and composing a dozen original songs in French and Drehu with the lyrical assistance of Marilou Lopez-Aguilera. I also designed and implemented the interactive score in FMod.

Title art for “For The King II”, by IronOak Games. A fantasy turn-based, tabletop-inspired game.
I wrote a medieval/early music/renaissance-inspired score and worked with our own in-house Unity audio solution to implement it. It is currently nominated for three G.A.N.G. Awards for Best Music in an Indie Game, Best Original Song, and Music of the Year.

Title art for “Ambition: A Minuet in Power”, by Joy Manufacturing Co. A roguelike visual novel set in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution. I wrote hours of period music using a variety of historically-accurate ensembles, produced live out of piecemeal recordings recorded in home studios during the height of the pandemic, and implemented with sophisticated branching interactive paths in FMod to support the narratively-focused gameplay. We won an Indiecade Award for Excellence in Audio Design, and garnered three G.A.N.G. Awards nominations.

Title art for “Mythgard”, by Rhino Games. A mythologically-infused cyberpunk dystopian collectable card game, Mythgard won a G.A.N.G. Award for Best Original Soundtrack (and three other nominations), and features hours of cinematics and a custom-designed interactive music implementation solution that flexes from native-run executables on mobile and desktop devices to web-browser based play.
