Who's ready to release a video game? @panic.com gave me the chance to colorize my little @play.date adventure game Ratcheteer and bring it to a wider audience on Steam and, most exciting to me (and the kids), the Nintendo Switch! It's out today: ratcheteer.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy3e...
I’m finally getting some free time, so these beauties arrived just in time:
— Outer Wilds book from Lost In Cult www.lostincult.co.uk/outerwilds
— amazing new issue of the Cranko! magazine about Playdate cranknockout.com
— Keza MacDonald’s new book on Nintendo
The first proof of the dust jacket / hardback version of The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope has arrived! It is a thing of beauty! @jon.inkle.co

Oh hey, look at that!

Wanted the show the figure skating joy to my wife, only to find out the videos shared here are restricted (US-only) and Youtube+Google list only videos of random guys talking over photos.
We were able to see it as a tiny horizontal video inside a vertical video on tiktok.
An absurd future
"For PlayStation themselves to buy Bluepoint, not use them for the one thing they would have bought them for and now close them down is just the most colossal waste. It's industry vandalism, at scale."
The amount of important things about games, industry, and life that I've learned from Brenda, following her career and work and advocacy and activism and mentorship and involvements from afar - but also the times we've crossed paths for work, is staggering.

I say this with all the love in my heart because Blue Prince is incredible - working 80 hours a week for 8 years very likely made this game take longer to make than without crunch.
More time spent working does not always equate to making forward progress. Crunch often equates to negative progress.

US only, unfortunately, but still some of the best books ever written if you're in the right part of the world...
Randomly got this as a cheap LP from Zuntata and now it’s my 4-year-old’s fav record we have
on Weird West, i made a "global tweakables" data asset for vars that need tweaking by folks who might not know the systems. it sucks when a designer has to assign a task for eg "lockpicking takes too long" because the value for that is in c++ or a BP node somewhere. separate code from data gang
