We're continuing to adapt our studio to the new realities of work. After remote working and the hybrid model, we're shifting to the 4-day work week! A better work-life balance for even more innovative games. Details 👇

I found it! The book of ugliest C! It's a 1987 book teaching you how to stretch the standard to write the ugliest possible C code. The book is in Polish, but check out these code examples!

The simple fact is, and what video game publishers now realise, is that there isn't one magic monetisation model for all games.

Loot boxes are still accepted in sports games, but not so much elsewhere.

Battle Passes are popular in shooters.

DLC / Expansions in story games

etc

A (very) early example of video game art... Atari's Space Race (1973) did not have a ROM to store data. So half of the rocket shape was stored as an 8x16 diode matrix, which was mirrored to create the full shape. This is plainly visible in the schematic and the circuit board. 🚀

New programmers are often uncertain if they will ever be good enough. As we grow more experienced, we learn to relax in the total certainty that we'll never be good enough.

It’s fantastic to see all of this queer representation at E3
