    Reveal time! This was the very first piece of art we made for The Red Lantern. Early on we were considering making it pixel-based game.

    Who's got a vacancy for a Writer and/or Narrative Designer? Can vouch for the wonderfully talented person that Sam is! 💖

    Four screenshots of games I have worked on. Top left is from Detours which shows two people lying in bed. One is facing away from the other and is saying the words "I'm sorry." Top right is from a demo titled The Restoration Process. It is the opening lines. "You unlock the doors to the shop and step inside. Dust has settled on the tables and window sills. It's been a while since you've been in town. You wipe down the counters and sweep the floors. You take a deep breath and flip the sign on the door. Open." Bottom left is from Tamales: Con Familia. Tamales are being made on screen while someone says, "Now holidays are a maybe and people want to relax on weekends. Relax with family!" Finally, on the bottom right image is from The Mysterious Case of the Windview Monster. A concerned citizen is standing in the entrance of a national park. They're saying, "I saw the beast! I really did!"

    by analogy, it's like saying "company X's low/high stock price means that it is/is not performing well". It's obviously related but not dependent. And if it were dependent, you would see win rates over time in an unpatched game remain constant, which of course they don't.

    something I find frustrating in game design discussions is when empirical data is used to argue the balance of the game in the abstract - X needs buffs because of win rate/damage meters/etc. While it's certainly a tool, you can't eliminate a massive confounding variable (players)

    i'm pretty sure the response to all of these kinds of situations I've read where people report issues w/ encountering a trans person is either "that didn't happen" or "stop being a fucking nutcase"

    the anglosphere trans panic is genuinely baffling to me

    A woman walked out of her changing room half dressed and a man was there and it was trans people’s fault, somehow. That’s a conflict of rights

    My UE4 blueprint tip of the day: use "busses" or "tracks" for commonly used variables with reroute nodes at each usage of the variable to avoid spaghetti. I have to give credit for this!

    there's this weird thing where having been involved in the industry for a while and consuming games related media for even longer, I've got some ppl sorted into the shithead bin for reasons I don't entirely remember but occasionally they'll extremely confirm it

    Massively successful AAA developers unecessarily punching down on indie devs publicly over Twitter dot com... you hate to see it

    No idea why consoles don't do this, but does such a great job making sure customers are satisfied. I've never been refused a refund and (consequently) I always put the cash back into Steam. How in the world are gamers supposed to know if they want a game till they try it?!

    honestly achievements are mostly fun for me when they’re a way for the designer to talk directly to the player. Stuff like undertales achievements or even when a designer asks you to do something really “wrong” to get a special reward.

    That's it! Today's topics are: T1: Achievements/challenges/other forms of extrinsic motivation! Which ones do you love? Which ones do you hate? Which ones do you love to hate?

    I’ll do this! I’m a lead designer/coder at , was an encounter designer for 7 years on before that, and a designer/producer/qa lead at for 7 years before that! I specialize in system design esp. intersecting w content and tech.

    Oh yeah! I'm an encounter designer on World of Warcraft. Been with the team for six amazing years. I tend to flop around between making bosses and helping with open world content. Started my career in indie games, with a stop at Red 5 Studios.
