Learned of this magnificent creation last night, hilariously, at a talk about the economics and culture of NYC game development.

Steam Fall sale is ON! Too brain tired after Nighthawks launch to do a proper marketing for this right now. In the meantime, I will have blind faith that public desire for our games transcendes the need for me to tell everyone to buy them. There. Nailed it. store.steampowered.com/developer/Wa...

Help, I've been staring at this for over two minutes trying to figure out what in God's name is going on with those socks.

Y’all know that it actually is very easy not to commit sexual violence, right? Like, it’s the easiest thing in the world to respect consent and only accept an enthusiastic yes. I’ve been teaching my own kids — three daughters and a son — this for many, many years. It’s NOT HARD.

almost every woman I know in games has a story about themselves or someone they know, myself included. i, and many others, weren't believed because "they're a good person" and there is a clique problem in games where if you're in that clique, you're protected. MinnMax made the right call here.

I made a twitter account when I started college and made a point of following every single game writer and designer I saw.

Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.
Lux and Becca from Nighthawks, with the text "10,000 copies sold."

Games aren’t made by humans, they are just brands. They have no personality. No history. No feel. Just interchangeable brands with projected results. Xbox management is genius, no one else ever dared to lead with such bold brand vision. I mean anyone can make a halo

"The game is insanely well voiced, with every single character being able to pull you into even the most innocuous conversation with the personality on offer."

IT'S OUT! PLAY NIGHTHAWKS! I was lucky enough to do a bunch of testing a while back, and it is everything you could want out of a vampire game. @richardcobbett.bsky.social is an insanely talented writer, @threeohfour.bsky.social is a frankly overpowered artist. The VO is flawless- JUST PLAY IT!!!

If anyone has contacts at Valve who can help expedite this, we certainly wouldn't say no to the help. In the meantime, I'll be here swimming in cortisol.

Rats are very much the 'mascot' characters of Nighthawks. They are sweet and adorable and they deserve grapes.
