Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu VidΓ©o (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.

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.

Thanks for the answer :)
That sounds like an open and helpful approach to have that council then. Looking forward to what comes out next

Congrats! I'm very not knowledgeable about Kickstarter and what community advisor means ... Just curious about it, how can your position make Kickstarter better..?

Agreed. I'm fed up with a direction that tried it's beat to reduce friction to null.

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

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

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

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

I do that for pretty much everything I'm working on.. I have 3 entire folders of years of archived videos ... It's also neat to see the improvement from day 1 to release day :D

Pro tip: add input layout and even other debug on screen where possible (like editor widgets in unreal)

Hmmm I know it's tough but that's the kind of thing that needs checking out with a doctor (which im not haha). I'm sorry for you :(

A very very interesting one I found is Echo, where the enemies learn from your behaviour and adapt to it, forcing you to adapt too

Vitamins, eating as healthy as possible, lots of water, sleep early, doing some physical activity if possible... But even with that sometimes it's just really tough ^^'

Mafia: The Old Country – Exclusive Hands-On Preview | IGN First

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:

The team have been working super hard on this and can’t wait to share more.

This is a thing I've been contemplating a lot. There is so many games that don't even get a glimpse of attention because of the lack of polish. The last third of a game is usually polish and debug and it makes a MASSIVE difference between a 50/60 and a 70/80 score

There are some company values that are shown in that documentary that are so so important (IMO) to pursue, respect and cherish like collaborative creativity or radical candor for feedbacks

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).
