i continue to be terrified by what happens as soon as we put an i am your beast level in someone's hands delightful

I Am Your Beast released a new DLC, and I HAD to 100% the moment i got it in my hands, of course. Mission 1/9

I'm slowly making my way through the old Universal monster movies--and MAN does Dracula clear Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein. Much more interesting cinematography. Delightful performances that still leap off the screen. It's fun!

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

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

Have you ever wanted to bash my head in with a rock? Well, now you can! Happy to announce that I voice many of the special forces goons you can explode in "I Am Your Beast: Quitting Time". Absolutely had a blast during this session. Thanks so much @strangescaffold.bsky.social for having me!

I adore the time system in Blood of the Dawnwalker (interesting to see this and and a few other games exploring these ideas in the same year). Creating a limiting factor in an RPG--so I literally *can't* do everything*--makes it so much more likely I'll actually finish it! I'm making choices!!

We come back to the idea of Execs who really don't understand art or why people make art, in any way, finding ways to absolutely annihilate those that do, in a death of a thousand cuts and then one big 400-person cut. It's heartbreaking. The western games industry kills a NIntendo every year.

If you're mad about this (AND YOU SHOULD BE) - I know indies can't be expected to save the game industry. But goddammit some help would be great. Go to Steam or wherever - find a game (NOT MADE WITH ANY AI) that you think is fun and unique - TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT. Boost signals!

Do not sleep on this one. Narrative deckbuilding shenanigans (with maybe a little Inscryption inspiration) from the makers of The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club. Also the first thing the game asks is if you want the script and voicework in modern english or 17th century theatrical prose.

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

Now updated with another five demos to check out - all human-made and recommended by the Steam Hype crew. Remember, in the age of algorithms and AI, the coolest thing you can do is find something you love, made by someone WITH love, and tell the world why you love it.

I Am Your Beast was so good. Now there's more of it. Which is more good. Alphonse Harding is a fun character. A soft-spoken and introspective Turbo Rambo who will reduce hordes of soldiers into pudding before taking that One Last Job they're offering.
