@nolver @BlasphemousGame Congrats, everyone! <3

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@nolver Beyond awesome

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@riadd And most publishers are quite specific on not liking to be served a menu with different scopes versus different costs either - although that's pretty much how we prioritize features everyday in a game 🙃

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@edmundmcmillen This sounds extremely intriguing. Looking forward to it!

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@nolver That's pretty awesome :)

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@tha_rami Hey dude! Long time no talk! Just sending you some good vibes - always appreciate a thoughtful apology even if I missed the actual episode. Here's to building bridges instead of burning them - and you're really good at it! :)

@danctheduck What's really funny about this is that it is actually usable

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@cliffski I've stopped using FB's native ad manager interface for reporting and just accepted it has all to be done in a spreadsheet. As clumsy as it is, at least I have actual control on consolidating data and sorting properly

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@cliffski What about the 'publishing changes' progress bar that randomly stops midway and has you having to refresh the page. I'm like: seriously, if I can brute force your code to work, why don't you detect it and do it yourself without forcing me to reload the whole thing?

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@StarlightSkyes Very happy to hear that. You rock!

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@saint11 Lovecraft approves

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@danerjimenez Fixed! Thanks A LOT for letting me know! I changed the custom URL for the channel and forgot to update there 😅

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

So extremely proud of my friend @nolver and his team! 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD. Congrats, folks! Not only for the commercial success of Blasphemous, but also for the tremendous achievement that game is in every conceivable angle. You folks rock! <3

[Mauricio García @nolver]

Les envié el cuadrito (fabricado por mi) y le dije: "os he mandado algo, grabaos mientras lo abris". Las reacciones son genuinas: nadie se lo esperaba!

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

One of the best Christmas gifts ever: being thanked in the same tweet as these legends! All my appreciation to people who care enough to write even a short note to show support to creators. It really matters. You folks rock! :)

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@_RIDENTEM @TheVTran @simoncarless Thanks a lot! It's real hard work to put all this stuff together, and a little sign of appreciation like this one really makes my day. Specially when being thanked in the same tweet as these legends! Thank you so much, and count on me to keep helping! 💪

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@theMstop @Irina__GM @BelowTheGame @laranoujaim @Snackbyte @Saemon @tha_rami @AstoundGaming It was brilliant, and pretty much the entire discussion is still incredibly current. I was not in the panel; was just lucky enough to be / become friends with the awesome people that were part of it. Big #tbt (although not in a Thursday) high five to everyone! :)

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

Hey! One month too late, here's my impressions thread on my 1st GDC! But first I'd like to publicly thank my new friend @tha_rami who encouraged me to go and went above and beyond to help me secure a sponsorship for my plane tickets. I wouldn't have gone otherwise. Tks buddy!

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

Going live with some counterintuitive (and bound to be controversial) advice on how to GET STARTED in gamedev if you wanna make games PROFESSIONALLY one day. Come watch, chat and hear a different opinion on what people consider "common sense"! https://t.co/7ZwX4hIaSe #gamedev

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@cliffski Dude if you're finding this one hard just try to do Brazil 😅

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@mikeBithell Both how elections and day to day public management works is like legacy code for a live software being additively patched for 200 years with no refactoring - and that software is so critical that it's just too big a risk to redesign and code from scratch

[Gabriel Dal Santo @gabdalsanto]

@ChrisDeLeon 100% real! People saying crap about you is just a statistical fact when there's more people looking at you, and we are just not naturally wired to handle it. Gotta stay strong if you know what you're doing is good! 💪
