Finally started Silksong now that I'm.back from my trip in Scotland. Have quite a lot of thoughts about it's design but the main one is: it's a lot deeper and a lot more difficult than HK IMO.

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

Unreal Engine game dev pro tip: when testing/debugging features in a gym level or any level really, you can easily set some blueprint logic in the level blueprint to slow down/up the game for testing some precise stuff
I personally put it under the keys "+" and "-" on my end

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:

Finally started to watch Psychodyssey, the documentary about how Double Fine got into making Psychonauts 2 and I think it should be MANDATORY to see it for any devs (top management included).

I remember vividly shouting to my screen " Fuck you Geoff" to that
It's just fucked, wrong and a total lie to have those kind of statement about team size. It doesn't make devs happy, it doesn't sell more copies, so just stop that narrative

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

There is a lot of buzz about hiring more juniors following the release of Clair Obscure and their team... Yes we would all love that actually, but try to explain the reasons to the greedy publisher behind every/most big projects ....

I'm looking for my next Godot project and I'm unsure of what I should try to do. I've just finished a 2d platformer, a tic tac toe and previously a survivor like. I'm looking into broadening my skills on #godot. I was thinking maybe a tower defence...? Thoughts?
