This is a great listen for anyone in or interested in game dev. It’s always sad to hear about layoffs/cancellations and these stories show the real impact from a dev teams perspective.
A Life Well Wasted episode 9: Game Over is up now. Grab a timed-edition poster by Olly Moss anytime in the next 7 days to support the show. Thanks for sticking with me! alifewellwasted.com

Just before I return to work I finally completed Split Fiction. What a game! @hazelightgames.bsky.social have knocked it out of the park again. Such a fun and creative game. This studio never ceases to amaze.

I might have missed out on Gamescom and Devcom this year, but mini holiday exploring Florence and Pisa was definitely a great alternative.

Perfect way to start post project vacation. Wandering around taking photos + lofi playlist perfect way to relax 👌

I very often think about @andrew-yoder.bsky.social s playgrounds as level design talk ♡ I now frequently use playgrounds to explain skill checks and rewards to non-designers

It's conveniently bundled with the enlightning "Real World Level Design" by Jerry Belich ♡

Really hyped to show off some of our gameplay. The team has been working super hard on this.

Proud to be part of this one. Not long now!
Handling family business in Mafia: The Old Country is a big job.

We played three hours of Mafia: The Old Country, the upcoming prequel to the long-running action-adventure series and found it to be a welcome return to the more linear, narrative-focused form of the first two games. Our full impressions:

New #Superman movie was excellent. Great start for the new DC:U lots of heart and great character moments and I can’t wait to see where it goes. James Gun once again assembling a phenomenal cast. Krypto 100% steals the show.
