i will die on the hill that this goes beyond a generational divide. the meat of a 23-minute video can be written down and read in a fraction of the time.

if you're trying to make a point to me a send me a link to a yt video, expecting me to devote HALF AN HOUR to it, you are a psychopath.
The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

twitch chat was past gym 3 at that point with constant sabotage attempts, and random input. get the fuck outta here with this shit.
Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

Rift Riff (out now!) was proudly made in Godot!! It started as a “small game to see if Godot is ready for commercial games” and 1,5 years later & with a 5-person team all working in the editor I can give you a resounding YES, IT’S READY.

new blog post: turned my gdc 2025 level design theory talk into a blog post www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2025/05/spac...
Space is not a wall: toward a less architectural level design
Maybe video game level design theory needs less focus on architecture? And maybe I'm part of the problem? My bad.

Polygon was one of the first sites to cover FRAMED back in the day and I remember how big a moment that was for us.

Sad, tragic news. Hard to know how things get better. (Go support independent journalism)

Colin and @dominictarason.com are just about the best curators in the business right now for this exact reason – they don’t just tell you about a cool thing and shout genre tags at you, they (concisely!) tell you *why* you should care.
Khimera: Puzzle Island ($2.49) - the best picross game you've never played, at a dirt cheap price. has a great soundtrack too, the kind of thing that Sonic CD fans are sure to mark out for.

...it's just really good picross! you like picross, you want this! store.steampowered.com/app/1217830/...

I keep seeing fans (and even some journalists!) of video games saying “the script is the first thing that’s finished,” and I’m not sure where this comes from.

Noooo no no no. Nope. Newp.

Not dunking on anyone either, but... 'the script is the first thing that's finished' is so extremely wide of the mark that we would needed to measure the gap in light years. See below for why...
