Fake in-game ad for a mobile puzzle game about a fur farm. The ad shows a overweight animal farmed for its fur and a text promising a fun and furry puzzle game for the whole family.

Making fake mobile game ads for my match three game and they are turning out too cursed.

Screenshot from the great immersive sim game Weird West. In the picture pigs are seen chilling in hay piles. They know what's up.

Every once in a while i think about these pigs in Weird West that you made sleep in the hay. They always bring a smile to my face!

Nintendo's way of senior staff working with new hires (passing down the legacy and values) and feeling the need to innovate were my key takeaways from Super Nintendo.

It's always nice when a book really sparks your imagination and makes you want to learn more!

Iwata Asks The official website for Iwata Asks, a series of revealing interviews about Nintendo games & systems. Read on for in-depth info on Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, and much more.

The book referenced Ask Iwata so that was my next stop. Iwata's thoughts are humane and inspiring. His way of working was something i wish to reach. First time some of these texts were translated i believe, but you can find his "Iwata Asks" series in English iwataasks.nintendo.com

I want to read Yokoi's "Yokoi Gunpei Game House" but i have to learn _a lot_ of Japanese before that happens lmao

Anyway, perhaps his "Lateral Thinking with Seasoned Technology" is something we all need to do more in the future.

Ep. 10: Nintendo’s Gunpei Yokoi’s History with Matt Alt | Video Game History Foundation Much the way we all set our status to NOT show when we’re in a game, the Game and Watch was originally created to allow Japanese sallarymen to play games at work while their boss was none the wiser. T...

Reading about Gunpei Yokoi was super interesting and i wanted more, luckily this @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social podcast with @mattalt.bsky.social is just that!
