We've been thinking lately about how to better support non-English users, which could benefit from chatting to some Japanese devs too. We think loc. flow is a strength of YS, and we've overhauled our docs site to support translations, but we know that UX + syntax changes are also probably needed.

We've not done an event in Japan before, but some local mates of ours were at BitSummit this year and reported people looking for us there. We'd definitely like to go in the future. Travel is super expensive, but we see so many great games + teams coming out of SEA. So we'd love to focus there.

If you're a publisher of studios using YS that you'd love to support better, we can help. If you're a studio in need of some co-dev extras - particularly in game systems or dev tools - we can help. If you just want to make the connection and don't have a specific ask, we love that too! 💚

You use Yarn Spinner? Great! We'd love to know how, and anything we can do to make it better for you. You would like to use YS in the future? Great! Tell us what you need to make the switch possible. You're devoted to some other tool? Great! We always want to know more about what people look for.

Yeah, there's a Steam app that just scans the local network for powered-on devices running Steam and then takes over the screen. You can even use it to stream non-Steam games from those devices.

Just the Apple TV app works a treat. Husband and I play games multiplayer together on the couch with me streaming my PC to the TV and him on his handheld PC. It's like cheap couch co-op for anything, and it very rarely hiccups.

We've also been playing "Future? No Thanks!", which is uhh... quite the mood change from Guardians 😆
A screenshot from the game "Future? No Thanks!" shows an old man in a grossly neon windbreaker sitting awkwardly in a bare apartment. One side of the conversation is shown, in which he is deciding between talking about a Fish Talk, reminiscing, giving a gift, talking about his late wife's death, talking about losing his job, or giving up and leaving.

Been playing Guardians of Nature this weekend As someone with a tall, smiley, dark-haired husband with a cute nose and big silhouette, we have the opportunity to do the coziest niche cosplay 🍄💚
A screenshot of the game Guardian of Nature shows a small humanoid character underground in a small burrow of mushrooms and plants. Some of the mushrooms appear to be functioning as part of machinery, or conducting power. The player character is a small, portly man in a big red coat and pixie hat.A real photograph of a smiley dark-haired man with round glasses has been doctored to crudely paste the clothing from the previous screenshot on top, as if he is wearing it. The resemblance is uncanny.

If we could ask a quick favour of any Yarn Spinner user, it would be for those who have purchased YS+ to leave a review. Less than 1% of purchases have left a review. Y'all game devs know how much reviews make a difference, and tools are no different. Help us stand out among AI-coded slop 🙏
A screenshot of the Yarn Spinner Plus page on the Unity asset store has had a large red circle and arrow drawn on it to draw attention to the fact that the five-star rating is from just 9 customer reviews.A screenshot of the Yarn Spinner Plus page on Itch dot IO has had a large red circle and arrow drawn on it to draw attention to the fact that the five-star rating is from just 10 customer reviews.

I don't know how we got to this point where a bunch of antiAI crowd think it's okay to use for code but nothing else. As if the people making Open Source software aren't having their work devalued and displaced through theft of their own outputs, just like artists or audio. We're on the same team!

The four of us are all best friends who work together, recreate together, travel together. At this point, we're probably so similar as to be interchangeable 😆
Four people - three men and one woman - have taken a selfie from a low angle. They are all wearing conference lanyards as they huddle up together and pull funny faces.The same four people are drinking beers and cocktails in a dimly-lit bar.The same four people have been photographed staged in front of a large mock book cover of an O'Reilly tech book.The same four people are wearing Star Trek novelty shirts and lanyards as they give thumbs up in this selfie in front of the sign to Arecibo Observatory.
