why was there going to be a god of war live service game
for the love of god, let the studio/game live or die on their own merits, stop clinging to past.
wrt to labor issues and whatnot: not one mention of the studio being the UK's FIRST recognized videogame workplace union...interesting, that.
no other studio gets shit slop writing like this even when other studios have literal rapists, racists, zionists, etc involved but because your favorite "auteurs" aren't involved anymore you write this inflammatory piece

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah
Every once in a while I think about Anthem and what could have been. Hopefully, someone, some day makes something as cool or cooler and it gets to live a much longer life as a game.
wrote something over on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/christop...
really nice to read this and good luck on your health journey! i'm on that wave as well
it's 2:30am and this is one of the wildest things i've ever read
Narrative designers, have a question: what text-based Inkle games would you recommend? Trying to learn the flow.
Thanks!
just finished the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and goddammit I UNDERSTAND NOW
THIS IS PEAK!!!
someone check in on @patrickklepek.bsky.social and @robzacny.bsky.social after that Bears game
great news: for the past like 5 years Iβve been referencing Tanya Short @tanyaxshort.bsky.social on βorthagonalityβ in procgen character design & no one including me has remembered where the thing is Iβm talking about. well I finally found it! itβs not an article, itβs a GDC vault talk, & itβs here
On a personal note:
1. We fucking did it. I am so proud of everyone involved.
2. Unionizing is a goddamn fight, regardless of any, ah, "diplomatic" coverage on the matter. This is a general observation, unrelated to today's news -- of course.
3. UK devs: your turn. DMs are open if you need help.
The workers at ZA/UM Studio have unionized.
First recognised games union in the UK, too. May many others follow.

Itβs so peak. I really love this manga.
shin megamimaxing goes dummy hard
idk mr review writer, but they should take 10 seconds and think about why the de-personalization of self and the inherent dehumanization in armored core is a tenet of its design philosophy and narrative arcs
this is awesome!
if you wanna hear more of this game's amazing soundtrack, go buy #QuartetRPG right now! one of the best games of the year IMO

hi @backloggd.com, any chance of an iOS app being developed in the future? would love it as it'd help with notifications for the wishlists on the site
I never thought I would see this in my life, and that theyβre making it immediately generic so itβs affordable is making me want to cry
π Announcing Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists, a procedural narrative RPG by A Sharp @radiofreelunch.bsky.social and published by us!
βΆ Wishlist the game now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3794210/...
This is a special game from a small team. Do yourself a favor and wish list this and buy the game on August 26th.
Iβve been waiting for this game for several years. 2026 cannot come sooner.
Cannot wait for this game.
Back like they never left babyyyyy
at this point, a certain "gamedev" has become a cautionary tale
