Look just cast Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a Ripley in an Alien movie already
FFS quit with the ship diarrhea you clowns. I hate that it's a current trend, and it doesn't even look good. It's like a child's drawing where they have to fill the entire page with crayon rather than leave any negative space.

Alright, hit me with your favorite mech/tank designs, especially if it’s something you don’t see out in the wild too much. I quite like the mobile workers from Gundam IBO:

Building this level has felt more zen than anything I've done in a long time... placing my little signs and people with digital tweezers.

There's more Brigador on the way. Details are scarce, but Brigador Killers - likely a sequel - will be taking us to a new planet on a mission of mech-war revenge. It's tentatively due in 2020. - rockpapershotgun.com/2019/05/29/bri

Also did I mention #Brigador is on sale?! It is!
55% off for the standalone game
71% off for the full bundle!
Our 5-year anniversary update sale for #Brigador sold more copies and earned more $ than our launch, and 2021 alongside 2020 is on track to perform better than any previous year since our 2016 launch.
Sometimes sticking with it really can be worth it, rather than starting over.

All you #miniatures collectors and painters!
The first 3 #Brigador pewter minis at 1/144 scale are live over at shop.stellarjockeys.com, with a launch discount to boot. Check it out:

#Brigador is 2 years old! We made some fake magazine covers! Big update and sale this Monday! #gamedev #indiedev #happyanniversary
Always, always remember:
This doesn't mean they support you, it means your movement is important enough that it's worth exploiting.
Corporations and vampires share the same caveat: be careful who you let in.

the gun-feel on #Brigador Killers is real spicy now thanks to lessons from the past—Syndicate (1993) would freeze a struck target in the upright position and allow you to keep shooting them. It's very hollywood, but has a huge positive impact on game feel #gamedev

We’re making Brigador Killers, the sequel to 2016’s #Brigador. More isometric mayhem, more synths by , more narrative now that we’re collaborating with for art.
And most importantly, more morally ambiguous violence. Coming in 2020

And that's it! 3 years later and 210 hours in—
(that's normal for a single playthrough, right..? (•ﺑ•; )
—I have finally, finally completed a very thorough run of Pillars of Eternity II.
whoever clocked a "completionist" playthrough of Pillars 2 at 85.5 hours is a damn liar
I'm genuinely impressed with how much input lag Anthem's menus have, and how poorly the game controls with a mouse—especially when flying.
Forced mouse acceleration is just the icing on the cake.

Vogel is correct in that *economically* the games ecosystem can't support 10000 new indie games a year, but that presumes a kind of utilitarian mentality. A huge number of these games are hobbyist projects or ultra niche—not everything has to make money or reach a broad audience.
Quote
So pointing out the world doesn't actually need 10000 new indie games a year on Steam will make some people super angry.
Note: that's almost 300 games a day.
Suggestion: Think I'm wrong? Prove it by going out and actually trying 1% of those games. (Yeah, I didn't think so.)

So I’d like to use my old friends Bert & Ernie make a point about world-building here:
Only make canon what’s necessary to tell your story, & leave the rest to ambiguity. Ambiguity is the gap in the rocks where fandom can take root, assert their own interpretations and story. —>

the #Brigador community continues to humble us with *incredible* art. This perfect piece is 's fault
This absolutely rules, and is also the thing we desperately need more of in the games industry as well.

Cool News: Tony Gilroy, creator/writer of @starwars #Andor, just announced that they are launching a website soon with all 12 scripts & tons of concept art - all free to read!
He worked really hard on his scripts & is proud of the way they turned out- they are production drafts.
I helped make #Brigador. I think a lot of #gamedev #indiedev's can relate 😎

Thank you everyone for the incredible response to the launch of our #Brigador minis—in 48 hours we've sold 2x the entire stock that we produced, something I thought would take months. As a result we'll be rolling out a couple new models in the next month, details on that soon.
TO WAAAAAAR!
Coming next month to stellarjockeys.com

been mulling this for a while…
we need MORE violent video games, not fewer, but *actually* violent ones—unsexy violent.
Film has artists like Zahler and Scorsese who understand and respect violence, expose its brutal context, pain and trauma. But we don’t have that in games yet.
