In alien movies people are always so scared of getting killed by the aliens. Personally I'd jump at the opportunity to make an alien friend at the risk of getting my head exploded by psychic powers or whatever

Just realized today marks TEN YEARS since Crowtel released on itchio..! I made a bulk of Crowtel discretely during my 3Dmodeling and compsci classes in high school, which probably explains why to this day I still use the same software I used to make Crowtel 😅

I don't know how people can work on really serious or sad stuff, I think it would make me depressed. My games are all really cheerful and I'm still miserable 90% of the time

I've been making 8-bit covers of classical music for a new game lately. Having only made music with a computer myself, it's really given me a new perspective on composition, and how digital rigidity has been limiting my ideas.

As a game gets more complex, there are more opportunities to make the wrong decision. By sticking with a simple system, you let a game design itself rather than a developer design a game. AAA almost never thinks this way anymore, and profit motive echoes in the developer's louder voice

"artist" is thrown around so casually. I don't think it should be self-proclaimed, the value of your work isn't for you to decide. I think creative work is about conveying an idea, so by definition, someone who already knows the idea can't judge its efficacy.

Nintendo's goal pivoted from making great games to IP recognition Mario Wonder, DK Bananza, and now Star Fox were all made as movie/theme park tie-ins They've always been a business first, but now they're a media company, not a game company

I underestimate how good it feels to polish a game, I usually resent going back over work I already did, but sometimes the satisfaction you get from a perfected design is pretty special

@matthewseiji.com Hi there, I hope I'm not intruding, but I was curious if the new Opus Magnum DLC is being worked on by you and the original Zachtronics team. The Steam page doesn't list Coincidence under the developer section so I wasn't sure. Thanks, big fan of your work!

steam's review system could benefit from being more social like letterboxed. since reviews are only shown on the store page, the only readers are prospective buyers, which frames reviews as a yes/no vote rather than a discussion on the writer's experience with the game

100%ed Last Call BBS! Their ability to put this many inspired games into one bundle really shows the team's developed sense of "enough". Getting right to the fun of the puzzle concepts without being bogged down in excessive flourishes. A close 2nd for my favorite zachtronics game
