I think it's pure FOMO.

They dread the thought of someone else making money off this. So they'd rather join them and lose money than sit around and do nothing.

Honestly? I think this FOMO drives all corporate AI implementations. It's not about winning. It's about not letting the other guy win.

In drie dagen tijd moesten deze Groningers een volledige game bouwen Ontwerper Robert Mertens speelt een eerste versie van zijn game 'Schermutseling' Foto: Bastiaan Vroegop

Dit stond al een heel lange tijd op m'n wishlist: ik mocht een weekend lang één groep volgen tijdens de Global Game Jam.

Waar ze in 48 uur een volledige extraction shooter uit de grond wisten te stampen, middenin een nerfgun-slagveld.

I always have such a weak spot for getting #merch made. The Snek Pack is adorable but they're a bit too large to use for real πŸ˜‚

Oh shit, are these people mistaking 'community' for 'communism'? That would actually explain so much!

Eloquence is no longer developed by Multiverse Narratives!
That name is used for narrative design services (B2B). Also using it for my own projects (B2C) causes confusion.

So, I started a new studio!
Blue North Games delivers games that bring innovation to the intersection of narrative and gameplay

Thank you, Harald!

Working on Eloquence and then seeing players discover the symbol language and slowly become proficient is super satisfying indeed!

One of my favourite character design details in the Dark Crystal is the barely noticeable vestigial arms on the Skeksis.

This movie was so formative for young me and served as a starting point for my developing views on narrative and worldbuilding ❀️
