This is so cool. Zohran Mamdani just released the 2026 NYC Dev Roadmap and he's updating Williamsburg with not one but TWO new 20-man raids with their own endgame armor sets and weapons

Made a quick teaser trailer for The Final Author, a new episode of Gameservatory dropping in November, where I explore the nature of player agency, the difficulties of game development, and @remedygames.com evolving design approach from Alan Wake to Alan Wake II.

jokes aside, can you imagine how you would handle it if you asked a human assistant "did you make all this up instead of actually doing any of the work", and that person responded to you with "good catch"

zohran's campaign has done a really good job of making one imagine that living in new york comes with a constant threat of running into the guy like he's goro majima

i must have been playing it wrong cus after fighting the great soul i have had no idea what i’ve been doing and wandering in and out of like 3-4 different areas

harry @videogamesarebad.co.uk · 6d

i have no idea if this is common sentiment, but it definitely feels like a developer’s first game. got me pretty excited to move on to silksong

harry @videogamesarebad.co.uk · 6d

it’s got totk syndrome where you can go wherever you want and there’s no clear path to anything and it’s a constant fear of if i’m somehow skipping out on a fun garden path or whether, no, you actually need to hit this random wall three times to progress

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)

yeah idk, the story seemed pretty finished to me, bar one loose end. i won't be backing it but it seems clear about how the funds are going to be used for people who are; i don't think anyone is expecting them to create an entire season of an animated show on 250k bucks

enjoying reading the bigotry against llms discourse this morning; an argument that requires so many backflips to exist and it's not even good lmao

2010s: be sure to put some sort of dog interaction in your game for a Polygon writeup

Thanks for all the responses so far! I'm going to close this in a couple days so if you know any more creators who might fill this out, please keep sharing until then. Results are super interesting so far and I'm looking forward to sharing them with everybody as part of a larger project!

Brandon Sheffield @brandon.insertcredit.com · 13d

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!
