Re;MATCH One, Two, or Four It hasn’t been all that long since we took a look at Re;ACT: The Arts of War, an intriguing but imperfect game about various artists manifesting their crafts into the physical world in order …

Re;MATCH is a forthcoming marble-matching fighting game by @brotherminggames.bsky.social, elevated by sharp fighter design and some really great match-making. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/03/02/r...

Ooooh this is a bad take 😂 Nobody’s ever had better than a lukewarm time playing a game on TTS. Why invest time and money into making assets for a presentable TTS mod just so (a vanishingly small number of) people can play it and have a fraction of the fun that they would playing it at a table?

The single most clear economic indicator of a recession is when the Money Tree is on sale for more than 50% off.

(But seriously though y’all hold on to your butts).

Sorry to hear that, it sounded like it could have been THE most effective way to destroy your relationship with your daughter 😂

I LOVED the first 45 minutes or so, then just kinda liked the rest. I’ll have to check the book out!

I caught the early live streaming of #TheWheelofTime S3E1 and loved it. The editing and storytelling feel like they've leveled up, and the performances and visuals are as stunning as always. Can't wait to see more on Thursday!

I picked up this trick from the team at Quantic Foundry and have used it every time I send out a web form for playtesters: use a text box every time you ask for pronouns/gender. The bad actors can’t help but out themselves.

“Yes/No” checkboxes are a very good plan B though 😂

I’ve talked to a lot of people this week that really need to hear this game-making advice:

If you don’t understand how a certain game has sold so well, it means that game (or product) has a lesson to teach you.

You won’t be able to learn that lesson unless you’re willing to reinvent what you know.

@mihealsick.bsky.social and I make bibimbap for valentines every year since our first valentines day in 2016, and this is our first as a married couple 🥰

... we may be married but I am not sharing my grape soju

I haven’t, but the first thing that came to mind was a torso wearing a suit vs a nude torso with a hairy chest.

That’s either going to be completely unhelpful or VERY helpful depending on the game you’re making 😂

A big part of why I want to see more diversity in game design—and really in any creative field—is because different people create differently.

The more new ideas exist in a space, the more I can absorb and evolve my own craft.

Games were worse when almost all the people making them looked like me.

Fellow self-deprecating Leo creative here, and I gotta say I really relate with the quote: “the best art comes from the exact center point between overwhelming ego and crippling self-doubt.”

I don’t know if I have BOTH covered, but I usually have one or the other covered 😂

"A Place For All My Books" Designer Diary! | A Place for All My Books url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smirkanddagger/a-place-for-all-my-books]A Place for All my Books[/url] launched this week on Kickstarter, marking my very first project with Smirk & Dagger Gam...

A Place For All My Books was definitely the smoothest project I've ever worked on. It went from concept to contract in 5 months, then from contract to launch in less than a year.

If you're curious about what that journey was like, check it out in this new designer diary!
