One of my pet peeves in work life is when the parents reach out to me to talk about career to their adult kids instead of the kids reaching out themselves. 8 out 10 times parents have no clue that the kid is actually fine or the kid has zero interest in the trade I’m in. Leave adult kids alone.

💔Microsoft will loose so many rock stars today. My heart goes to them. May the new chapter in your life will be better than the previous one. I hope you will get to build the games more legendary that the ones you built before❤️🩹

It’s a bit embarrassing really that Ottawa, the capital of Canada that is a part of the British monarchy, DOESN’T HAVE A DIRECT FLIGHT TO LONDON

I was helping my friend so sign up her kid to summer camps in Ottawa and it’s some kind of hunger games. I think buying tickets to music festivals is easier than getting camps spots. I was less nervous on job interviews than when I was rushing to sign up to those camps. Parents, how are you doing?

A very niche deck of cards. You can tell fortune with them. Which game industry challenge you will face this year?

Питання до тих, хто прочитав «Я бачу вас цікавить пітьма». Наскільки моторошна книга? В лютому, поки це все несеться ок читати, чи ще більше депресії та мороку нажене? Дякую!

A good thread on how does game studio operate and who makes decisions 👇🏻
It occurs to me, after reading posts getting it spectacularly wrong, that there are a lot of misconceptions over how game studios organize and, in particular, who makes the actual decisions about what ends up in your game. Much of it is by folks who don't *try* to get it... but not all, surely. 1/🧵

make → playtest → reflect → repeat.
This is the iterative process at the heart of game dev.
And generally speaking, the more of those iterations you make, the more effective the experience of your game will be.
This is the not-so-secret insight you need to make really good games.

If you’re looking for a cozy-ish wintery game Röki is your choice. It’s an adventure game based in Nordic mythology.
