Sektori is ridiculously good

IGN, which is the article linked in @mitchyd.bsky.social's post, is owned by Ziff Davis, a corp so openly Zionist and pro-genocide that the time IGN editorial made a fundraiser for Palestinian survivors of Israel's 2021 genocide, corporate seems to have come down so hard it eventually unionized IGN

You can only fuck up from greed so often before you see it in the numbers

OK, you know what, I am starting to believe I did well. It's so odd working outside your usual field - I make games, not educational courses - but I promise I threw everything I had at making these & it is so calming to see that people find the courses useful.

I love the utter chaos that recording the Mike and Rami Are Still Here podcast often brings about, but the Brighton Develop Beach Episode is special levels of chaos. mikeandrami.com

I love this. I hate this. I think developers should do this just to show how fucking cowardly games funding has gotten.

Aaaah, second review! I've really never been as nervous about any release as this one and it turns out educational programs take much longer to get reviews for than games, so it is really help calm my nerves that the first responses are so good. Thanks, Elise!

There are two stories of the Israeli massacre in the West Bank town Tell, killing four Palestinians. One, of local townspeople, who say it was an unprovoked massacre in line with hundreds of others. The other, of the genocidal Israeli terrorists that brought heavy weapons to the massacre.

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

hey look, a human politician

For those who read the most recent LTPF article at ltpf.ramiismail.com/75-20-5, this is a brilliantly simple reply from @dovebelle.bsky.social

If you did buy access to Games Business 101, please do let me know what you think! The course is built to give you enough to do for a few days but it also means I have no feedback coming in from real audiences yet. A bit nervous about that, waiting to learn what people think.

And the 101 Courses are not the only Levelling The Playing Field content out today: also read this FREE newsletter article on my 75-20-5 rule - a simple but powerful tool to manage quality bar and disagreements building on the paid "Ask Rami" article from two weeks ago. ltpf.ramiismail.com/75-20-5/

Months of work, a lifetime of learning, but the Levelling The Playing Field 101 Courses program launches right now. Eight €40 courses launching 10 days apart, I aim to make the critical less-spoken parts of indie gamedev accessible away from expensive visa-locked hotel bars. courses.ramiismail.com
