If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful!
We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam 🎉🎉
It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush 🔨🖌️🦊

Also adding this video that does a good job putting visuals to the album tracks. Not all of the tracks but some notable ones.

Blonde is such mood. I just randomly listen to some of the tracks every year. Never tired of it lol.
Dang shame then. Such a missed opportunity.
Honestly, I've had this thought in my head but Xbox really do need to be independent at this point, in light of this shake-up. They never needed Microsoft because they have enough money to be self-sufficient. It's just a problem of no one will make it happen, sigh. imo RIP Xbox.
Relationship like Booker T and Stone Cold, wrestle over groceries in the supermarket.
Isn't this what libraries are for? Haha. Just that it would be libraries with gaming hardware for rent.
I think the game gives more of Nier Automata vibe, especially with the music.
You're good. I think we all are tired from the messy news we get in this industry as of late.
I agree with your core sentiment but it's hard to know what's entirely going on in studio to really place the reasons for the layoffs. I just think maybe, their top-level decisions might've push them into the red and can't pay people anymore. Mismanagement can be the factor for this.
This game is also published by the devs so their only backing is themselves. Frankly, I think both game and studio will evaporate within the next few months imo. Though I do agree that unions should still happen regardless.
Sadly, I don't think that this scenario can be the case because the game isn't generating that much money to even compete at a scale of a AAA publisher, especially when it's free-to-play and relies on cosmetics for returns.
This studio (consists of friends and alums from my college) released their latest game. It's really cool and short, check it out!
We're excited to announce that the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase will be returning this summer!

Check it out! A friend has been working on this one for a while now. Also arriving on Steam Next Fest soon too.
It happens to the best of us, we just let our guards down because we know certain people. Just gotta pay more attention these days in the age of online stuff.
That's why when I playtest a game on Discord, we would schedule an actual call/call room to share screen while hearing my active voice. That's what I'd do when I wanna playtest my games like IRL. Otherwise, I don't touch the build and ask verifying info about the person to double check them.
At least it got the Game of the Year on Steam.
So it's like that Crystal Dynamics' Avengers game but with more game system emphasis?
But can I work on the game to help with ideas?
... I'm half joking and not really, 😅.
It would be great to see tine-in games in this day and age. My recent discovery of one, that I didn't know much about, was with this BTS.

The biggest thing to a game developer is that it's our job to constantly learn. If a tool/tech prevents that, it's not worth learning that to stop ourselves from doing our job. But definitely agree with the blurb.
And also funding Powerwash Simulator haha.
Mixed about TGA2025. Some good and some meh. Overall, it has some new things to look forward to. Though, disappointed that some other games didn't get their flowers but E33 definitely is great so it deserves the awards. At least we get to see a sweep for the first time.
I just had a thought. Do video games age like fine wine? Like I've felt sometimes a game was overlooked and 10+ years later, players speak highly of the titles.
The Bioshock series. The games do a good job using audio logs to build the context of locations or environmental storytellling while players deals with gameplay elements.
Though the storefronts aren't the only issue. Payment processors are also threatening not to do business with these storefronts if they distribute something that the processors don't like. It sucks to have 2 layers of ambiguity for why it's a 'no' to the game releases.
Yayy! Congrats! I finished their game last month so looking forward to your work in their next game.
Because at some point, they might do this too much to where they thought that the work they did "belongs" to them. I want Level-5 to succeed but this whole thing is really hard to support or know if they will turn away from the process at some point.
From the article, I really dislike their use of stealing audience textures for Inazuma & GPT generated descriptions. Mixed on AI sharpening images. Everything else is used as refs for artists which is slightly OK. Though, I hoped they would've at least come up with some of these things themselves.
