Hi everyone, I'm Manuel Correia. I've been designing videogames and boardgames for the last 14 years.
These are some of my favorite projects so far. Have you played any?

It's a lot of the same people talking big words about building community but then reinforcing the indifference of publishers peddling AI with their own indifference
There was a post on the Board Game Reviewers & Media Facebook group about a big channel taking a stance on not covering games with generative AI art. Most replying said 'Hey, good on them, that's a great stance to have", and I have the same stance. Some of the replies though... 🧵

Same here!
I want more people to know about all the brilliant games that have appeared in the last 30 years, not out of snobbery, but because I've seen the delight & laughter & surprise when I introduce people to them who had *no idea*. It's such a great feeling!

Another advantage of this as a game designer is that your reviews can serve as a record of the games you've played so you don't have to rely on your memory.
My list has nearly 650!

This is a reminder! Rate your new games on BGG. Especially if they are from small publishers! Make sure to give the games from small publishers some love (and slack if they should be avoided).

😱 Thank you so much everyone for receiving our dear Constance so well 😊💜 We couldn't be happier with the critical reception!
If you have 2 minutes to leave us a review on Steam or Metacritic, that would be amazing. Thank you!!

I want to say a massive thanks to @jeremybjayne.bsky.social for doing an outstanding job on the initial edit of the doc, and to @frankhowley.bsky.social for recording such solid gameplay.
We actually adopted @brandon.insertcredit.com's style for credits and will use it going forward.

Cool idea for smaller teams!
For huge teams, forget it. For example, Diablo 4's credits are already ~40 minutes long!

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

Looking through my photos from Inércia 2024, I really like how this one turned out.
