To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

I did a long interview with the Full Time Game Dev and it turned out great. I get to rant freely for 1.5 hours, and I got to say a lot of fun stuff. Thanks so much to @thomasbrushdev, and take a look!

This is a thread about me switching to Linux, after nearly 30 (!) years of using Windows. I need to make games on that thing too, so I hope it works

There are many reasons for this, but tl;dr reason is that Windows is getting in my way. It's being a hindrance. An obstacle. It should be transparent.

Stuff like Windows AV reactivating itself every now and then, tanking perf make me really want to switch to Linux fully (I have been running at least one nix machine since ~2000). But the fact that 96.55% of people (steam survey) are running Win, keep my main rig on it. No matter how much it sucks.

I wanted to make a starter pack with indie developers who are making their games without using one of the Big Engines with built-in editors.

If that's you, reply and I'll add you! And tell your friends about it!

I recently did a courtesy call with an indie developer. They wanted to talk to me because their game's target audience is ... uh, me. 25-40-year-old women, many of whom are moms.

They wanted to know: what did I need to pick up a game? What would bar me from playing?

Here are some answers 🧵(1/?):
