"Good systems are consistent, but good game design is about exceptions." Wish I had a cool name for it, in my head I just call it "oof".

Now that I'm back from the US and not in fear about being detained at customs for my political beliefs, I helped create a charity album for Palestine! 'Composers for Palestine' is a collection of beautiful indie video game music. Enjoy, donate and share! RT's appreciated tinyurl.com/yeyw4yta

I've had my eye on this game for a while, but I only just got the pun in the name! "Blue Prince" = "Blueprints" clever and ties to the literal and structural parts of the game. Play their demo now on steam!!

Just release a pretty major update for the Canvas demo! The major thing was getting localization systems implemented into the current interface. Unfortunately dialogue isn't translated yet as it's not going to be completed until 24th when Steam Next Fest starts! #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

I can believe games spent 50 years working toward efficiency, accurate lighting calculation models only for AI to then use more power than most countries to generate uncanny valley, clearly fake, ugly lighting.

Probably one of the most pound for pound profitable teams in gaming today. Nobody is safe from corporate ownership. Absolutely sickening. Eat the rich.

Pst... Don't tell anyone but the Canvas demo is going to be available on steam in 5 hours. It's just meant to give press and content creators time ahead of next fest, but really anyone can check it out

I'm tired of being asked to speak about how to fix the industry. Genuinely, do white men get interviewed about this? Because I'm over it as a question directed at the people who didn't break it. I don't know. Ask them.

We need to talk. If you're going to make a "narrative-driven" game, you need to have professional, ergonomic, narrative tools that facilitate narrative pipelines, design, writing, editing, and collaboration with other disciplines, particularly localization, audio and performance (if any).

I've gotten a few interesting reactions to this trailer, some people feeling it isn't representing the game. I think that's a fair criticism if all you want is to view a utilitarian video full of "information" but...
