Hello I am here to tell you about the best-written game I’ve played this year: UNBEATABLE
Game DeveloperNarrative Notebook #5 – UNBEATABLE's music video vibes can't be beat
Doing another Game Dev Stories fireside chat on the @bostongamedev.bsky.social Discord server! Come hang out with us tonight for a chat about the weird ways we all make careers in gamedev.
Another excellent piece from @kerrblimey.bsky.social about how frivolous side work clauses hold the game industry back:
Chris KerrNEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

Cat Manningweird accomplishments: there is a pretty bad 600+ page novel whose existence is directly my fault. it has 4.5 stars on amazon.

time to unironically sing this when I go out in public in support of our taco saviors 🎵Oh, Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell. Enchirito… Nacho, Burrito! 🎵
it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
This is a thing every exec keeps talking about and it is driving me up the waaaaaallllllllllllllll. Yes, it’s the high salaries that are the problem, not the company leaders who slow teams down through poor decisionmaking and greenlight games that take a while to make.
KotakuAfter several years running touting its big push to develop video games in-house, Hasbro has canceled multiple in-development projects and seems to be backing off. https://kotaku.com/hasbro-56-million-impairment-charge-video-games-canceled-2000718018
who here wants to play a game I believe can be pronounced "dicko"
