Still in 2022 there's no good software I can find for managing game design tasks that's better than Google Docs.

The solutions out there are so featureful but so fatally clunky due to the weight of their features. Can't decide if they want to be used by creators or managers.

Nice of them to make this decision on 4/20.

Our full announcement on RimWorld returning to Steam in Australia:

Good news! RimWorld is now rated and legal to buy again in Australia.

We'll have it back up on Steam soon.

Thanks to everyone who lent their support.

Thanks for the help everyone! I think we got what we need.

What are examples of games which are rated by the Australian Board () which include drug use, especially connected to player incentives?

Seeking examples to bolster an ongoing case (right now).

@PirateGleeClub Elden Ring is exactly what you expect, at massive scale. If that's what you're after, it's awesome.

Same with Kirby, though smaller scale. Very easy game though, appropriate for kids and ultra-casual.

@WarbroJavaCo dear god

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is in the same genre as Elden Ring fight me

@TiaPixel: 📢 Ludeon Studios (creator of RimWorld) is #hiring and looking for game designers and gameplay artists!

@tezateser Tweet chains don't work; people retweet and target single tweets out of contexts. And the UI shouldn't force you to do something so ridiculous, which still prevents complex thoughts from forming.

Blog posts work, but they require clicks to engage with so you lose most people.

Twitter increasing its character limit would be the easiest way to improve the quality of discourse (and thus thought) across our whole society.

As it stand's it's a discussion platform that makes it almost structurally impossible to communicate nuanced ideas.

@Zizaran I was basically a child when I did, so not much reasoning was going on. I was just super interested, wanted to build stuff, loved playing games and thinking about game universes.

Game design is hard to learn because mistakes feel like victories.

The signals of a mistake are hard to interpret and slow to arrive - often only coming years later.

The try-fail-adjust-retry learning loop is crazy long - if it ever closes at all.

RimWorld developer Ludeon Studios is looking to hire a gameplay artist!

Reddit discussion:

Good news! The Australian Classification Board it going to review their ruling which banned RimWorld from sale in Australia.

We've got some legal professionals and expert witnesses helping out, so I'm optimistic. Thanks everyone for your support on this.

RimWorld has full Steam Deck support!

I hope to see one of you playing it on the train soon.

@ArronLane22 @1Mcridefan Alistair Lindsay of course, the artist! @AlistairLindsay
