I'm absolutely ecstatic to have Lord Winklebottom nominated as a finalist in the #TIGAawards! 🥳 Congratulations to all the other finalists, see you there!

Me: We definitely shouldn't start playing any trading card games. I've learned my lesson from Magic The Gathering. Never again.
Also me:
Trying out colour shift paint for the miniatures for the Nemesis boardgame. Works really well, despite not having an airbrush.

I feel like I've wasted so much time trying to chase processes as they jump around in this list.
I just added up roughly how much of my game dev career has been spent working on things that didn't ship. I reckon it's around 7 years (mostly at the start, too).

It's time for more #MyMemorabilia, where our people rave about their favourite collectables!
This week we have @jamessutherland, Lead Programmer, who shares with us a relic from Sumo's past 🤩
ALT On a wooden table is the packaging for 'Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed.' The packaging shows a grassy environment with a blue sky. In the centre is the character 'Katsuma' a cute looking orange rabbit like creature from the Moshi Monsters franchise.
I absolutely don't need any more mechanical keyboards, but I do like the look of this one.
The big button addons would be good for debugging.

On the face of it, this perhaps seems a bit vague about what it means by "AI". I mean, most games have AI in them - it's what drives enemy behaviour etc. Will they have to declare that, even though it's not generative AI trained on external datasets?
We’ve been paying attention to the conversation about AI. Today, we’re announcing an AI policy, shaped by feedback from our creators and backers, that directly lays out how we’ll approach Kickstarter projects that involve AI. updates.kickstarter.com/intr…
Babu Frik and BD-1 stowed away with us on the #galacticstarcruiser last week. They seemed to enjoy themselves.

Successfully upgraded fan and SSD, and re-imaged the Steam Deck. New fan is so much more bearable than the original.

I like the little jingle sound timed just as a man flies sideways in front of me.
(World Tour mode is fantastic, though)
