24 hours from now we will release the works of Pemberton, Kendrick, Silverton and the rest into the world. We have no idea what the consequences will be.
We have every reason to believe that when this happened before, it was seismic.
Good luck.

It should not be allowed that a new Inkle game is out in two days - because it should be out now. Having to wait for a new Inkle game is an issue for governments to solve.

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or [email protected], thank you!

New Substage feature! Instant Actions: the most common commands now skip the AI step entirely, making them suuuper snappy. It feels amazing for these common use cases.

btw indies, you should really hire @thisisstar.bsky.social if you can for trailers - her trailer for TR-49 is up on GameTrailers where it has 10x the views of anything released around the same time (except, I think, Warhammer). And for a game which is *really* hard to trailer too...

After Twitter’s rebrand to X, stubbornly kept calling it Twitter. Now I don’t. Twitter is dead, and nothing of it remains. This isn’t the ship of Theseus. The machine and the community have both been replaced.
Please don’t call it Twitter still, it’s not!

I keep hearing recommendations for Carrot Weather on various Apple/tech podcasts. Every few months I try it because I forget what the experience was like, and every time I find it just… annoying and stuffed with irrelevant junk??
