If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

We have been working on the systems behind 4:AM. Instead of combat, we are focusing on environmental systems and player improvisation. Still a lot to build and refine, but it is exciting to see the pieces starting to work together.

In between the lines below, we're also digging into:

- How to protect yourself and your work in revshare/volunteer studios
- What the next decade of game dev studios and pubs even look like for working devs
- How to archive and allow our work to live on beyond servers and obsolete hardware
