The game progression curve is one of the first thing an aspiring #gamedev learns, but there is soooo much more to the topic. Thanks to Patrick Fram for this excellent quick dive into #gameprogression at a professional level. youtu.be/T-PmiKjXvvo

I think Matt's posts about @robowieland.bsky.social 's passing are an excellent tribute. Journalists like Rob are essential to the game industry, because what they want to see are both more great games and gamers. We and the industry are all worse off today

I'm shocked and crushed to hear of the passing of my pal @robowieland.bsky.social this morning.
