I’m here to spy on cool wip games and I’m not afraid to say it. Thank you to my therapist for the bravery.

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

Such a good post about game industry hype cycles. Rare in that it comes from an ex-CEO (Nexon) yet also contains deep wisdom about how broken the industry is.

If you make games and run a studio, read it.

I love this guy so much, the tree arms in the final evo are just *chefs kiss*
We designed a monster based on our publisher’s mascot. Say hi to Chottle, a calm and wise Montabi inspired by Chronos from @akuparagames.bsky.social 🐢💜

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️
