@the0valoffice So many and so quickly!
Conversations in the past 24 hours with multiple different gamedev friends /groups: "how fast do you think we can make a looter shooter / extraction game / survival game as a side project on Fortnite?!"
Gold rushin'!
@MBruzzeseFX For FX from this weekend, my favorite is the Sorc's Teleport FX. Gets a "hell yeah" from me everytime the cooldown is up. Ride that lightning!
@TLOgg @Soembie The various "parents in gamedev" slacks and discords are so good for venting / camaraderie. Holler if you need links. The empathy at 3am during feeding, teething, or random meltdowns is real.
@Mobi_Is_Garbage Next one!
@NickChilano I was going to message you on Monday but this is so sick. Grats on the "launch"!
@Pawl_Murray Basically. Unless there's a pet class.
@Lythiara Haha yeah. Always barb at the bottom for me too
Ah the deep panic and anxiety around "what class and build should I play first?" in a Diablo game is setting in. (Let's be honest, it's like 99% going to be a sorc this weekend, but what build!?!?)
@Pawl_Murray @its_spef moves up in the world and forgets about the little people wow
@Pawl_Murray @its_spef If this resulted in a sammie for stef my heart will be so warmed.
@Pawl_Murray @its_spef Was the mistake not getting you and stef a sandwich on your way?
@its_spef Stef it's only raining. Get you that BEC!
@MBruzzeseFX I am going to get slapped by dungeons!
Some real good (nerdy game design) reads
Last year, a group of designers started up a thinktank with the goal of getting some Good Game Design Writing out into the world. And we are releasing our first batch of papers! Worth checking out! https://t.co/Q27YiliJUO
@its_spef Did you reverse sear like the pro I know you to be?!
@matthew_villers We had a painful convo about this today. A number of our first jobs involved 3-4 hour total daily commutes. We had PASSION and precious little sense.
I wish there were personal business cards to exchange at playgrounds so we could make relevant notes on the back after we meet and talk about our kids, their ages, milestones, childcare, etc. This is what all those years of tradeshows have done to me. I am a broken man.
@k_mukai I'm very out of date for mobile these days :( but I wish I could find new poopin games for sure.
@k_mukai There were many! I shall prepare my fragile ego.
