one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

In #SachsenAnhalt ringen Grüne, SPD und Linke darüber, ob (herausfordernde) parlamentarische Mehrheiten jenseits von Rechtsextremen möglich sind. Die CDU will Nazis einfach mal regieren lassen. Und das BSW ruft: Wo sind die Steigbügel, die wir den Faschos halten dürfen?* *für 1 Vizepräsidenten.

True AI: Doing more with less. “I think game design shares a lot of these same qualities, as people try to find clever ways to make diorama worlds that invite the player into an experience, using as few resources as possible and the lightest touch they can.“

I agree. I also feel very similar about not wanting to use AI or consume AI-generated content. 😬

We like the idea of the robot uprising because it's a problem that we can shoot. And that's the kind of fight that we're confident about.

So deeply honored I got to read an entry of Le Guin's blog. Baby-writer me with a copy of The Lathe of Heaven would be in disbelief (like I am currently)...

we did something. A psychological adventure taking place in a nightclub in Berlin just before Hitler became chancellor. It's a wild ride, it has amazing music and speakers and ... IT'S COMPLETELY FREE FOR YOU TO PLAY AND KEEPSIES! Enjoy and leave a review if you liked it!

related: if you want to see if someone actually wants to hang out, ask them something like "are you free today or are you still wiped out from work?" you're giving them an excuse you will definitely accept. then if they don't use it you know they actually want to see you

I’m a speaker at Develop! Tomorrow I’ll be doing a design talk about puzzle games, where I’ll analyse some classics like Portal and Outer Wilds, see what they can teach us about making our own puzzles, and make the case that the puzzle genre is alive and well. Would love to see a friendly face there

Last week I played «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» for the first time (review in PC Games 6/93 📰: www.kultboy.com/index.php?si...). It’s bigger and more polished than the original, but it’s also less accessible. 🤷‍♂️ I quickly realized that I don’t enjoy this kind of puzzles. #games #33YearsAgo #DOS #PCgames

title screen of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» with mouse cursor and buttons that read: Play, Map, Intro, Prefs, Practice, Load, Save, the background shows a village with small huts and roofs made out of leafs

map screen in «Lemmings 2: The Tribe»: Twelve areas with different features (beach, stars, moon, mountain, pyramids …), each on containing one of the twelve puzzle pieces that in the end form a circle, the cursor is hovering above an area with something that looks like a dinosaur skeleton, the text at the bottom reads: Cavelems

intro sequence of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes» and old and a young lemming sitting at a fireplace inside a hut, it’s night, blue light comes through the window, the fireplaces glows orange, there are books and the shelve, both lemmings look towards the players

ingame screenshot of «Lemmings 2: The Tribes»: several lemmings walking towards a sandcastle, others walking in the opposite direction towards a beach ball, there is a blue clowd in the sky, a palm tree and some beach houses in the lower part of the screen, the interface at the bottom shows different kinds of lemmings (one with jetpack, one with a light saber, another with some glue …)
