@CespedesBBQ @tigers @nasjonalmuseet for the @tigers fans, here’s a personal favorite from last year:

@FreyaHolmer Good luck with the submission!

(I was going to suggest: Math: add rigor, not mortis)

[Jeremy Gaffney @JeremyGaffney]

@kelly_knox @erikaishii 100%, so stoked for @erikaishii!

@TheVTran Good catch Victoria - thanks!

@roguecaliber Hmmm, seems Basic 🤔

I've been thinking about writing this thread for a long time, because I think most people - including a lot of game devs, especially more junior ones - don't understand something important about the AAA games industry.

Let's talk about home run swings.

@ZenOfDesign “Industrial sized Starbucks accident” actually describes a lot of the game development process

@GreatCheshire Congrats! Batgirl Begin!

@ZenOfDesign This is the cinema viewing equivalent of seeing a giant tall falling obelisk of bad movies toppling straight towards you and running directly away instead of dodging.

David and Akupara are good peeps!

[David Logan @daevox]

Recently lost your publisher, or simply don't have time to manage your game post-launch? @AkuparaGames wants to invest in games with potential for additional content and community building. We've had great success with @RainWorldGame and are eager to help more games. DM or email!

I rarely agree so completely with anything as this

@DiscordDystopia Seems like more motivation to have a fully functional mech available

[Jeremy Gaffney @JeremyGaffney]

@ZenOfDesign Yes yes the Canterbury Tales famously never once mentioned traveling bringing together diverse groups of people.

But that’s the 1300s, maybe he means earlier, like in the 600s when St Hadrian founded Canterbury, after traveling from Africa to civilize the Anglo-Saxon barbarians.

@tha_rami Well put, I was thinking the same thing. Iteration after mid-late preproduction is really costly (and sometimes still needs to happen, but is worth a lot of effort to minimize.)

More gameplay from our Kaiju-sports-divas 3v3 prototype!

@elisefavis @fiftycc Woo, go Elise!

[Jeremy Gaffney @JeremyGaffney]

Lori and I were talking about best/worst/personal first covers of our fave classic fantasy books the other day.

I was SO happy to introduce her to this version so I could get to see the shock in her eyes

[𝔇, Hunter of the Dead 🌙✨ @dekubrush]

What’s wrong babe you’ve barely touched your “90s copy of The Hobbit ft. Ricky Gervais Bilbo Baggins”

[Jeremy Gaffney @JeremyGaffney]

Also a bit of gameplay from our early prototype of our giant-sports-diva-monster game (Horia was sooo sure he’d score, heh)

[Jeremy Gaffney @JeremyGaffney]

An update on Fang & Claw and the game we are working on (code named Project Tanaka):
