hello bsky: I'm Stanley, indie dev creating text-heavy narrative experiences that are satirical, horrifying, or queer, and sometimes all at once. I make games for exactly 3 people to lose their minds. #gamedev#visualnovel #interactivefiction

I'm really proud of Stan :) 3.5 years ago I took him on as a mentee with just a handful of games worked on, and now he's a creative powerhouse with dozens of games released, winner of the 2024 New Media Writing Prize, a PhD underway, and today's exciting news - now a BAFTA Breakthrough member!
hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually

no one tells you but you can just make your own awards ceremonies with your own games, with an announcer and fun award art and everyone coming together at once for the event and spectacle. we've been doing it for years in domino club! its fun! who cares about any "official" awards!

Yes, this could imply an acquisition of sorts. Could also imply some accounting / financial issue.

Just remember to freak the fuck out for the next few days and speculate as much as possible until they announce something.

I can say with complete certainty that you will lose nothing by just ignoring The Game Awards. You do not need to give it any cultural power. It is purely a vehicle for marketing, and an ongoing insult to the people and craft we all take part in.

it's incredible how ever single "counter culture" ai artist is just culture. painfully culture. babes it doesn't matter how many papers on marx you read you're "unfunded" while being bankrolled by an ai company
