Here's my entry for the 20 Second Game Jam @20secondgamejam.bsky.social, Rush Boss: CurseRime!
It's a Silksong-style bite-sized boss rush - can you beat the boss in 20 seconds? Give it a go!

I have really not been present here at all recently ๐
I need to do something about that. I'm hoping to make a concerted effort to start getting back into the NYC indie scene this year. It's been too long.
Layoffs at Launch: that's game dev.
I am really enjoying Blue Prince, and I think it's a great game, but one thing that's keeping me from calling it an amazing game is the level of RNG. You can go an entire run without being offered a lever, making it literally impossible to win.
I will literally never forget playing Brutal Legend and losing my shit when Ozzy and Lemmy showed up.
Rest in peace to the OG ๐ญ

Thank you to all of you who have shared kind words, I'm glad people have been enjoying listening to it as much as I did helping out with it.

State of the games industry:
- Make a shitty game -> get fired.
- Make a successful game -> get fired.
What is happening in games when the biggest live-service game launch in at least a year results in layoffs.
I recently made a post with an example of creating holes, with a link to "80 Level" and about digging a hole game. Here is another example of mine with a laser. Unreal Engine 5, Geometry Script plugin, Generated Dynamic Mesh Actor #gamedev #indiedev #UE5 #UnrealEngine

Bernie Sanders posts an 8-min video that explains whatโs happening, steps for short term strategies, and steps for longer term stuff.
One example: he reminds folks the GOP has four vote majority. They are weak. He suggests calling your reps. Be mad It works.

DOOM looks like it would be a really fun game to work on
God of War live service game?
BZZZT is a great name and the game looks absolutely beautiful
What's up fellow CAs ๐
I have some availability coming up soon to work on music. I'd love to find some cool new projects to help bring to life, so please feel free to reach out if you like what you hear (or just have questions)!
In addition to games, would love to work on animation and streams too!

The bottom line is that if public health had stopped lying years ago and had been honest about the costs, and if public health had realized what the correct approach is, which is to slow evolution down, then we would have been in a situation today where public health was treating COVID as a disease that needs to be suppressed. The whole canard from day one was that we would never eliminate or eradicate it, so, let's let it spread as widely as possible. "Learn to live with it," for other diseases doesn't mean the same thing as we have applied to COVID. When we say we must learn to live with leprosy, we don't mean let's make sure everybody has leprosy. When we say we must learn to live with malaria, we don't mean let's make sure everyone gets malaria as often as possible, let's keep mosquitoes lurking in our tanks outside our house. No one says you must learn to live with tuberculosis. Let's let it spread as much as possible and see how that goes. No, we suppress those diseases every step along the way. We suppress dengue. We suppress tuberculosis. This whole idea that learning to live with the disease means permitting and encouraging its rampant spread and rapid evolution is just so many levels of stupidity that I don't have a word for it.
God damn GOD DAMN!! Man this interview is a breath of fresh air.

AGDQ week, let's goooo
Agreed. GDC is prohibitively expensive. If you really want to go, have a goal: networking is a great one.
Iโm honestly at the point where I wonโt be going unless I get into the CA program again. Itโs just too expensive for me.
