HEY πŸ‘‡

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

thanks so much Emma, collaborations like this are kind of essential these days to get eyes on great games so we're just happy to help

mileage varies, no pun intended. for me it's been a well made series for a number of years. the campaign stuff especially. it looks and sounds the part and the driving style is approachable with a controller. I've not played the latest one much though.

i'm sure you do! as many studios as I've visited, I've always been a tourist - I have very little experience of the actual reality of working within in that structure.

that said i've also met a lot of game dev vets who never stood on an e3 stage but everyone else at the studio loves because they've gotten really good at the thing they've been doing for 30 years.

I'm painting with a broad brush here folks, I guess my point is that the peter principle is a thing

I think the sad reality is that many big budget studios have creative leadership which thinks like that. who else would they hire to run the studios and make them money?

I’ve interviewed a lot of visionaries from the past 30 years of development and a common arc for those who’ve chased big budget success specifically, is ultimately failing to do so consistently, and going back to work on smaller games. It’s hard to stay top of the pop charts for decades folks.

well it’s inevitable at a certain scale of business unless you have private money. one begets the other as it were

05.03.2026 04:24 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

my feeling on these large studios tanking after one game is there are creatives out there who don’t realize they’ve aged out of the industry they previously were part of success stories in. the market these days is wildly more complex than it was even a decade ago, and they probably lost the pulse.

Are you F1-curious? You're in luck!

I've been doing an F1 podcast geared toward beginners since 2014 with @dannyodwyer.bsky.social and @robzacny.bsky.social, and we just posted our annual introductory episode that explains everything!

The first race of the season is THIS WEEKEND. Buckle up!
