In the last year, No More Robots has funded + is currently funding a dozen games, and has paid numerous devs to make prototypes happen for free But obviously, getting press is absolutely impossible for us, because only doom and gloom gets clicks

Why isn’t anyone funding video games anymore? aftermath.site/you-are-error-...

Well. Got laid off, position terminated this Saturday. I need some time to remake my resume and everything but if anyone is looking for a Front-End engineer with 12yrs of exp in the Bay Area/Remote U.S. Ping me.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Hollywood did the same thing in the wake of the Great Depression about a hundred years ago. And what happened? The workers unionized. And then game studios are SHOCKED when game workers follow the same playbook they are. Spoiler alert: we win in the end!

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

GO VOTE! Turnout matters! Also, disrupt the algorithm by liking, commenting and sharing leftists posts but COMPLETELY IGNORING right wing posts NO MATTER WHAT. Let them come complain on posts with leftists talking points AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The more people doing it together the better

SERBIA OVERTHREW THEIR CHAINS AND WON. TWO YEARS OF STUDENT LED RESISTANCE AND THEY WON. BRASIL FOUGHT AGAINST THE POWERS OF THE USA AND OUR OLIGARCHS. THEY RESISTED AND WON. WE CAN DO THE SAME. WE CAN WIN AND START MAKING THINGS RIGHT. WE HAVE TO TRY. THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TRY.

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

This is my first Halloween / spooky season with my rescue pups Izzy... and oh boy she is so spooked with all the decorations😭😂 She's slowly getting use to all the tall skeletons around... but those leaf filled ghost bags... she ain't having NONE of it! At least she has her new cozy granny sweater!🤗

The Way of Light teaches that non-holy magic is a vile inheritance of the Dragons slain ages ago. Its followers wear ever-burning monster-tallow candles that sputter near magic or monsters. Their beliefs are factually correct, but their methods of enforcing them verge on heresy.

Another collage-y monthly experiment, I'm having incredible fun with these. Most photos were taken on my recent trip to the Vienna art history museum. I love how collaging added a new way in which to view the world, I'm always on a lookout for interesting things i could use!

The fact that Tim, even when he was much younger, rebellious, and eager, could already not feel sadness for a beacon of game design & development innovation and creativity going under when he could back smugness with "economically realistic" explains so much of why Epic is where it is right now.
