Hey, long time no chat. Still recovering from the leg&ankle breaks, but amidst the chaos we’ve put together a small demo for SKINSCRIBING we’re so proud of. It’ll be a bit longer before we show more, but meanwhile we’re looking for funding. If you’re interested in trying our demo, please hit me up!

so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking Some friends and I, including @slothysunday.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social, are making a game. store.steampowered.com/app/4462890/...

store.steampowered.comSkinscribing on SteamSKINSCRIBING is a 2D hand-drawn and dual-handed cosmic folk horror game wherein you explore environments, grief, and bodies alike to interpret and tattoo the history of a dying world as the foundation...

there are 2 kinds of executives: those that want to make money, and those that want to do everything in their power to win the mega lottery, and the latter has pushed out the former at every major corporation because that’s how capitalism is gonna go

We’re fucked because the shift is exponential. It crept in over decades and is now skyrocketing in pace and devastation as line shoots up, maybe. And marginalized people around the world have been yelling about it forever)

Please share this message from Sakher : "I’m lost between my family, my studies, and life in a tent. My father is sick, winter is coming, and we have no warm clothes, proper shelter, or money for rent. 😢 Please don’t leave me alone in this struggle. Even $10 can help us survive. 🙏" bit.ly/4ib1W5P

just a reminder that there are a lot of great videogames coming out - certainly more in the indie realm than when the indie boom started in the late 00's/early 2010's. and it is absolutely a failure of the larger game industry to not make that reality feel at all worthwhile or meaningful.

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

not the point and i feel the same way as OP, but if you scrolling are in this position I would love to talk to you about starting a worker co-op instead of being a boss.

“You can just start your own studio!” Brother I do not WANT to own a business. I don’t want to be anybody’s boss. I want to write, which is the thing i’m good at!!!

What’s fun with there ai clone wars is publishers have even less incentive to take a risk on artisanal hand crafted game dev 🤪

I make games like my pappy used to, fresh locally sourced ingredients treated with love right here in our hometown factory

Working on a theory of what drives people towards the use of llms. Something about it being a deep burnout of the creator/entrepreneur/small business/marketing yourself everyday economy

The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.

I don't think it's an accident that @ko-op.com is committed to being AI free due to its democratic structure. The workers have made their stances very clear and their power to impact policy and workflows gives them the opportunity to define the workspace how they see fit.

I think having been a part of this thing for nearly 15 years I can safely call it my life's work thus far, and its something I'm very proud of, even if we don't survive past 2027.
