I've been working on 'Desta: The Memories Between' with @ustwogames! Out 27th Sept! It's a fun blend of playful tactics with relatable story. The non-binary protagonist travels through their dreams, facing themes of anxiety, gender, loss and mental health.

Some indie games come with lovely PDF ‘manuals’, often evoking manuals from the 20th century. Which games have good pdf manuals?

You’re playing a game and you find a numerical code or password that is clearly crucial to unlock progress later on. How do you record this? There is no log or inventory of codes like this. What do you think the game designer intended?

‘Fail fast’ is a misnomer. Sometimes you make a game prototype and realise it isn’t fun, or you identify a huge gameplay problem. A failed prototype is a huge success. You identified major problems before investing too heavily. You have excellent experience for the next step.

I really love 'Is This Seat Taken' from @_wholesomegames where the characters are squares, triangles, etc.... but it feels gross that the devs included racist characters! They even have them shouting abuse. How much are the levels going to lean into this?

Who has memories of my character Rana from Minecraft Indev 0.31. Have you seen her in fan mods?

Let’s brainstorm a model for sustainable game dev work in 2025! - What are the best ways for financially independent devs to work in a sustainable manner? - How should devs engage with current and future supporters? - What do you want in return when you give a dev money?

Are there any maze chase games (like Pac-Man) with a non-square grid?

Heading to a 20 year anniversary reunion for the Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 team. 🎢 Anyone have memories of RCT3?

The best smart alarm clock ever made was UNIQLO WAKE UP on iOS, with unique Yoko Kanno music per weather, and a voice singing the date and weather. I miss it. https://t.co/lD2Q3Eq3t4

Any recommendations for active game dev blogs? Also what would you like to see from a blog? I’m considering it, perhaps unwisely.

I’d pay $800 for a dedicated Valve Steam Console. When is this going to happen?

I spent years working with and designing for the disabled community. This is an incredible read, and really shows how trust can be misused. I hope Coty Craven can take responsibility and move past this.

I've worked on lots of games, but Phantom Spark is the first time ones of them could be demoed on a backpack!!

MV3 is officially announced! Seven years after announcing the second one, and it's going to be worth the wait. There's an impossible boat that's a totem for f**ks sake. Really excited to show more.

I’m the person in green flailing around. I love how fake the location seems.

TLOU has the same rectangles

Question for level designers!! I notice that Naughty Dog use a non-square repeating shape for their greybox textures. Have you seen this elsewhere in games? We used 4x4x3 for Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 blocks, and Lego uses rectangles too.

Why does Argos care about my choice of pathfinding?

Whenever I make Editor Panels in Unity I think about this amazing UI.
