Vancouver Game Expo was great. Thanks to everyone who dropped by!

Biggest take away for me is that there’s an incredible amount of talent in this city going unused and someone with lots of money should do something about that.

Devs were only allowed a few (I believe two) tickets per nomination before Geoff charged them. Resale tickets were in the hundreds. And we all know what happened to Future Class (if you don’t, read my piece).

I’m lugging all the gear home tonight to set up first thing tomorrow, so you lot better drop by!!

Genuinely though excited for this!
Hoping some publishers show their face to give local talent a shot. I imagine some larger ones will make the trip up from the States.
We're less than ONE day away until our first Vancouver Game Expo!!!

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one.

I think the fact that most large political social media accounts in the US and Canada got revealed to be foreign influencers a week ago should be 24/7 news cycle and the fact that it isn’t is a sure fire sign of how fucked we are.

It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Pretty accurate. If I won $100 million pile in game dev friends - we’re making a game.
"If you won $100 million, would you still work?"

Absolutely. I would work every day, as I do now, only I would get to exclusively work on my things. I would set up a publishing company and sign all the writer friends I have who are struggling to do the same thing.
"If you won $100 million, would you still work?"

Hell no, I would not. I would do whatever the fuck I wanted.

GRRM got what $100 million? 200? from HBO for Game of Thrones etc. Dude won the lottery. Why would he work? Those last two books are not coming. Ever.
