  9. I said it at the end of that post, but I was not clear at the top.

    This offer also extends to all #gamedevs, toymakers and and any other kind of independent media producers.

    I'm looking for a 30 - 90 second video spot about what you do that we can upload (like what we've done so far for Joker Joker TV and Working Class Music) and, if you're interested, a longer interview about your creative process in the style of What's Stopping You: vod.newellijay.tv/w/pgudbseVPh )

  10. Most attendees at this week's #GDC want healthier communities for kids. Please share with #gamedevs in your circle. 🧡 A game jam challenging #toxic beliefs & attitudes harming our teens. ▪️ $10K prize money ▪️ Winners own their games ▪️ Register by March 23 🌐 toxify.org #indiedev #publichealth

  13. I have recently fallen in love with the #roguelike and #roguelite genres of #videogames.

    I’m especially interested in their powerful effects on #motivation, inspiring players to try-fail-try again-succeed, which is the holy grail for #instructionaldesign and #teaching more broadly.

    I’d love to hear from #gamedevs and other #learningdesign pros who have explored integrating #rogueish mechanics in #learning, #seriousgames, and/or know of any #psychology #research connecting the two. Thanks!

  17. Atari Jaguar news: This year, there is another JagJam and I'm hoping to see some great, creative new titles for the Jaguar again. The deadline for submissions is October, 31st, which gives devs half a year to make something. So if you are looking for a programming challenge or want to support the jam by spreading the word, please feel free to do so! Cheers!

  18. Wishlist Gargantuic on Steam:
    store.steampowered.com/app/354

    Two partially paralyzed brothers embark on a dangerous journey filled with action, combat, and exploration. Sharing a handmade cart as their only means of locomotion, they fight to reclaim their home valley from monstrous invaders.

  19. I’m thinking about writing a short article about the very fundamental of #GamesUserResearch / #Playtesting in a pragmatic approach. It’s not dark sorcery, just a few thing to think about in order to do it well, because it’s easy to screw it up. Based on discussions I could had with some #gamedevs, I often see them falling in the same common traps.

    Would you be interested? Thanks for boosting 🪂

  20. Thanks everyone for the welcome messages and advice after joining #mastodon

    I forgot to add as part of my #introduction, I’m also looking to collaborate with any #gamedev people who need music for their projects!

    I’m a #composer who can write orchestral, rock, and electronic music. I’m studying Game Music composition and orchestration at the moment, so would love to chat to any game developers too!

  21. Did the paperwork and paid the fee to register my LLC with #Steamworks and get the Steam page for my game. It'll still be a while before I'm ready to start begging for wishlists like all the cool #gamedevs, but the ball is rolling.

  22. "Here's a pleasant surprise: For once an emulator is being discontinued, and it's not bad news," writes @wes.readonlymemo.com for his newsletter, @readonlymemo. He discusses how the Lime3DS, which picked up the code from Citra after Nintendo's settlement with Yuzu, is joining forces with another developer to create a new, yet-to-be-named emulator. "No longer will development be fragmented between these forks, and instead all progress will be made in a single coordinated effort," the Lime3DS devs wrote in their latest update." Also in this issue, an update on N64 core developer Robert Peip's emulator work, and a fan translation of Saturn RPG Princess Crown that is proving messy.

  24. Concept artists define the look of video games. For Aftermath, Luke Plunkett spoke to a number of them, from indie freelancers to those at AAA (major) studios and everything in between, to learn about the work they do, why much of it is unseen, and the gnarly nature of contracts and NDAs. "...the implicit expectation is that a studio will own the work you make forever. One particularly hostile contract stated they would own my work in perpetuity for the rest of my life, or my children's lives. Not sure if that one will hold up in court," says Daisy, a AAA veteran now working in independent development.

  26. I'm loving this cover art for this new book about the early years of the Spanish Video Game Industry.

    In Cinco Duros, Diego Vargas compiles firsthand accounts from key figures at pioneering companies like Dinamic, Erbe and Topo.
