the cilantro tastes like soap gene should also make soap taste like cilantro. so people with the gene don't have to feel bad about not being able to eat cilantro because they can eat soap
Remember when people used to be all “hard times creates great art” because no actually it’s just this.
Someone finished a Cave Story rap concept album they started in 2009.

My 9 biggest design influences.
You can have my beloved Chibi Robo in the quoted tweet as a hidden bonus (I miss him)
I'll be back to support another 3 mentees (or more) for Year 4 as Game & Level Design Mentor.
Hope to see you there!
In most places I've seen this happen, the VS is built before the design loop has been proven out, aka, the prototypes were approved on a wing and a prayer for "it'll be fun with polish".
Then VS is treated as a prototype with "final" (not actually final) art.
A playable beautiful corner basically.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
I don't know your exact situation, but:
A good mentor can help you put together a plan of attack on how to build the strongest portfolio with the time / resources you have.
It may be to make mods, gamejams, (system) prototypes or tools / plugins.
Depends on which skills you need to show off more.
Parody or not, I understand the thought process.
For me, Mentorship programs like @limitbreak.co.uk is the answer. Giving your time to support others with whatever they want to pursue.
It's not quite "industry experience" for the CV but it can hopefully be as or more effective to lift people up.
LOL 1000% fucking with you
Yes to all counts, but also please don't, I hate hearing people speak Dutch abroad, that's why I'm abroad???
To have a break from hearing it?
Two astronauts on the moon. One in front looks at earth, caption reads: "Wait, it's just about nurturing mutual trust?" One in the back, pointing a gun at the former, caption reads: "Always has been"
Me at least once per project...
Many game studios have "shadow production", in which someone sets up a parallel (but functioning) system of organization to compensate for the inadequacies of whatever methodology the actual producer insists on employing; thus requiring an act of continuous translation between the two.
watch this
proudly thumping his chest about how this industry grinds talent into dust while being under the utter delusion that we're onboarding new talent
respectfully, it is this thinking that has brought to the industry to its current historical lowpoint

i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks.

Absolutely phenomenal read
I am tempted to go on a longer discussion of this but I am on vacation. But as someone who leads the design department and hires and mentors designers, using chatGPT to write your design specs is antithetical to the role and job responsibilities of a designer.
*Have you considered watching Dark again and pretending you're simply part of the loop?
when you're on a great creative team but it's 2025
Here's how we released 200+ games #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #gamedesign
p.s. it's my birthday in 2 weeks if you'd like to do something for the soon to be birthday boy nothing would make me happier than sharing this video on what I've been doing with my life so I can help more people ♥️
I'm still mad about a special thanks for a year of work where my layouts shipped almost EXACTLY as I left them 2 years later. 2/36 maps (5%) of the shipped game isn't worth a credit apparently 🫠
God, a thousand times this.
That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis.
I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

people thinking an NPC that outputs different text forever is good remind me of (no shade to people reading this it applies to I love y'all) new game programmers who are sure randomizing everything will lead to replayability without enough understanding of design yet to first achieve one playability
