I don't plan on tweeting here anymore

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@QiudaoLionel Is joining bluesky not an option?

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@QiudaoLionel Hi - it's because Elon Musk:
A) Has changed how Twitter works in so many awful ways since he bought it (and Bluesky is such a nicer place)
B) Is taking his support of Trump to such an unethical extreme that I don't want anything to do with him, or to support him in any way, ever

@dandouglas Cheers Dan, good to hear :)

@oneofmoo @Crazyreyn I might technically be being naughty occasionally, but for short clips, if it just feels like a random bit of gameplay then I think it's ok to just use it. If it feels more like something someone put work into, I usually credit the source in the corner of my vid

@oneofmoo (Maybe on bluesky instead)

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@oneofmoo I'm often totally one of those people, but afaik I have it less when recording videos (and when I do it a bit, I don't mind because I see it as being naturalistic, which is ok because I'm not doing marketing videos etc). Any questions about this, feel free to DM!

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@miprivac Haha, most of my work was 1-3 years ago, before I started my current gig :)

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@Keyecomposer Oh and the junctions near the middle of the map would benefit a distinctive landmark / object that helps the player orient themselves and tell which way is forward / north / the "back" of the level, etc

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@Keyecomposer Oops, just played a bit more and remembered I forgot to reply. Basically the whole map looks too similar. Too hard to tell where you are, where you've been, where you could go next to do objectives. Different ends and key areas of the map should have more distinguishing features

Fuck you @elonmusk you scared bitch.

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@SeanNoonan Can't imagine getting that far at this rate, but we'll see... looking forward to a few levels I've never actually seen before!

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@mrsambarlow I was a bit of a Goldeneye purist back in the day, curious what I'll think of it now

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@Sebastien_S_LD Hehe yep it is... the one that looks identical in every direction, from everywhere, in fog, at nighttime

[stevelee on bluesky @essell2]

@piotrone @n_o_marsh @furnimatgames Cheers Piotr :)
