I want there to be a horror farming game called Dark Soils

Additionally I officially propose we start calling farming games “soilslikes”.

On game remakes: a quote from Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)

“What we think is chic, unique and quite adorable, they think is odd and sodom and deplorable…

But the fact is everything today is thoroughly modern, check your personality. Everything today makes yesterday slow, better face reality.”

I’ve never said “OH MY GOD THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE IS SAYING IT” more while listening to a podcast in my entire life.

This is must watch appointment viewing stuff, people.

The Doctor and the lessons learned.

On episode 037 of Dialogue Tree, I'm joined by Dr Rob Gallagher (@gealga.bsky.social) to discuss his book, Artgames after GamerGate. We talk about what they are, why they exist, how they tackle our past, and what the best Sega Saturn game really is.

Thinking today about how true this is. Instead of drawing differences between budgets and team sizes, respect games as games!

A lighting engineer working on Honkai Star Rail is just as much worthy of respect as a solo dev is! We sow discourse in our own industry by unnecessarily dividing. Stop!

When I was a kid I came up with a Wailord evolution called “Wailsark”.

It’s like “whale shark” but it’s also like “ark”.

My favorite moment of characterization for her is when she reaches out her hand for her mom to grab while she’s super focused on the computer.

That’s my true autistic representation in gaming

I generally assume no one watches my stuff so I shamelessly plug every time I see a relevant opportunity 😂

Why Sayonara Wild Hearts Took SO LONG to Make
Why Sayonara Wild Hearts Took SO LONG to Make YouTube video by Dev Dive

Of the three games I’ve played on here, all three are among my all time favorites.

As a Sayonara Wild Hearts fan, you might enjoy this interview I did with Simogo 👀 youtube.com/shorts/9IpGp...

I didn’t mean personally re-approached, maybe I should have said re-adapted. Re-approaching from a creative side is very important as a part of the growth of a work throughout history!

Maybe that’s secretly what scarlet and violet was, that’s why the textures were simple and flat and gray
