Hi new followers!! I’m Faye! I work over at @fpcstudio.bsky.social where I head up all things community and social. Happy to have you join the wholesome chaos!
Also, I CAN talk about work here, because we’re an open development studio. So that’s really cool. 🫶

we don't just need to be funding small studios to make one game, we need to be funding them to make the ones they can fuck up before they can make the ones they learn from.
The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.

We have two last videos to share with you - some full playthroughs of our most recent Blue Shard missions. They are, of course, unfinished, but we hope you enjoy seeing the development progress.

From all of us at FPC to all of you, who have been with us the whole way, thank you. We hope this isn't goodbye.
We're so proud of what we accomplished in just two years of development - from endless expanses of checkerboards to something that really started to resemble the game of our dreams.

This is really heartbreaking.
TGAs Future Class was both an inspiration and an ambition to me - I loved seeing individuals from across the industry shine, and aspired to be counted among their numbers.
Taking away Future Class further removes games from their human developers.

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Hey all. If you haven’t seen - important message below.
We aren’t giving up yet. We’re still searching for a publisher to help give Ghost and FPC a home.
But even in the worst case scenario, thank you to all of you for joining us on our open dev journey. (More in the thread.)

I wanted to share the news that Fantastic Pixel Castle’s time as a first party studio within NetEase Games is coming to an end. (1/7)

if I'm not mistaken, this is the first UBI scheme where they aren't in some stupid endless "study" and finally have enough data to just simply DO it, and of course like all the studies showed, the result is a huge boost for the economy
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Doing research for a podcast idea I have about historical poisons & medicines somewhat inspired by the cool research @sailorrooscout.bsky.social posts about and I have hit the point of “oh god radioactive quackery is STILL A THING TODAY, HOW IS THIS LEGAL”

I see a lot of meat sauce recipes that say something along the lines of “pull your meat out to shred it, then return it to the sauce.”
And I just wanna say, as an Italian - if you can pull the meat out of your sauce in pieces big enough to shred, you haven’t braised it long enough.

Meeting Yoshi-P and attending his panels at PAX has me feeling the siren song of Eorzea again… I think it’s time to dust off the old White Mage mantle and catch up on these post-Dawntrail patches.

My PAX decompression plans involve immediate pajamas, couch time, and playing a truly record number of @dropout.tv episodes.
