I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development

aside from myself, there are frankly too many of us in neopets' only guild for game developers who are on da market for work right now

you should fix that by hiring us

(you should also follow the members who aren't looking too because they're all cool)

Chris Zukowski published this chart in one of his recent blogs. It helped me really conceptualize how hard games are to get done. Our current model is small games, with deep gameplay loops -- and whacky mechanics. Make smaller games and MORE GAMES DEVS!

I'm tired of marketing. Would you be so kind and help me share this game around with other cozy gamers? 🥹👉👈

Ah! What a precious girl! 😻

Barony is a super fun time with friends! It felt a lil hard for me at the start but over time started to feel stronger as we made it deeper into the game 💪

I love how much character the stop motion gives this 🥺

Amazing to see how Bluesky is surfacing so many folks in the industry that I never saw on my timeline in the bird app. So grateful to connect with new friends over here and see what you all have been up to! ✨

I'm hearing a lot about the loading and crashing! Amazing to hear that Godot has helped alleviate some of that!

Yeah mostly just trying to get a feel for what folks in the industry are liking these days, along with if that looks any different between solo devs and teams.

Also I totally know what you mean about startup time. It can feel awful if you just need t do something quick and it takes forever 😢
