The second of our indie dev interviews has just landed on @GooglePlay. This month we're talking to @BlackSaltGames's 3D Artist Michael Bastiaens about its journey into dark depths and cosmic dread with their first game DREDGE https://t.co/lu45r2dyQA

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

Pleased with a new series we've launched on @GooglePlay where we interview some excellent indie devs from around the world. Kicking us off is @JakubAmanita from @Amanita_Design! https://t.co/Pwph8at6js

@ChristeenGeorge @Sassafrass_84 Honestly, pure chance that I knew the song and saw the tiny sign haha

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@ChristeenGeorge @Sassafrass_84 It's to do with The Eagles' song Take it Easy. Very Americana reference and not particularly funny in any regard tbh.

@YardSalePizza Uh, can I ask how this has happened? Just placed an order and now I'm up to -7 slices??

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

Almost like making a game that's basically impossible for new players to meaningfully jump into isn't a recipe for success when building a live-service game...

[IGN @IGN]

In the wake of the layoffs on July 31, former Bungie workers are saying that the studio's financial situation has been dire for years now. https://t.co/6PxBrGFQij

Yoooo, how do Retro Studios do it. Metroid Prime 4 looks stunning for a Switch game, markedly different from everything else shown this direct too. That said, the Prime remaster also looked shit hot so 🤷‍♂️

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@axelk Well, 99p

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@axelk Tbh, in that climate it's probably quite nice if it was like a sort of flatbread salad thing. But as a "pizza", nah

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

If they ever decided to make a brand new Wipeout game this song would absolutely have to be in it https://t.co/8PHHKlnZyQ

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@axelk Oh god, don't get me started on how ridiculous the whole ULEZ "debate" is.

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@axelk It's bonkers that EVs should be a political issue in the first place

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

@axelk Wild that, even though this is obviously idiotic, they don't seem to realise the carbon energy expenditure of this (even if it was using 100% fossil fuels) is still lower than shipping fuel to a petrol station for people to fill up with and use???

Last night neighbour came over with her 2 young kids because her husband was going crazy smashing things,screaming. I cautiously went over to see what was up & he was sitting on floor weeping. Soon I was crying to when he explained what Nike did to the flag on our boys shirts

@axelk French House don't serve pints (except on Pints Day)

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

When this is the reaction and Colman's isn't even the most pungent mustard you can get in the UK.

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

Seeing lots of pieces about FF7 Rebirth sales lagging behind those of Remake but so many of the pieces seem to not take into account the vastly different sizes of install base between consoles?

I know it's been a few years now, but there just aren't as many potential customers

[Vaughn Highfield @Starfox118]

Is it just me or are so many op-ed features about games these days just really negative? I see a few that celebrate things but mostly it's "why didn't they do this" or "xyz sucks" etc. Just super tired of the negativity. I certainly see it from certain outlets more than others...
