Well, it’s 2022 and everything is turning out exactly as I predicted back when I was 7. Self-driving cars, space stations, the internet. Nailed it. Favorite TV show of 2021 was Only Murders in the Building. Favorite game of 2021 was Loop Heroes. Favorite book of 2021 was Einstein’s Fridge. Favorite rediscovered joy of 2021 was reading physical books.

I made another Quake map, this time in collaboration with fellow mapper @mrtaufner for the 2021 Quake community Xmas Jam. Taufner handled the initial blockout and gameplay, while I did the art pass and tweaks. (With textures by Makkon as usual.) The collaboration here was ideal because I didn't feel like doing gameplay stuff, and Taufner didn't want to art pass, so we exchanged duties and took turns working on the level. the original blockout version of the first encounter, by MrTaufner Since 20

Much like how Expedia didn’t eliminate travel agents from the job market, freight marketplaces won’t eliminate freight brokers from the job market either. Freight marketplaces are merely an attractive alternative to hiring a broker. If you want somebody to take care of freight entirely on your behalf, then it still makes sense to hire a freight broker.

2020 just flew by really quickly, and I know folks struggled through it. As for myself, I have been busy from late 2019 through in 2020 with a lot of work outside of game development. Out of necessity to provide for my family. Once in awhile I check the sales figure or press coverage to see how my old games are doing, and surprisingly, players still buy and play my games, and some are even kind enough to leave positive reviews.

We sell words. We’re in the word-selling business. Our tiny company has been earning (well, "earning") a good living making indie computer games for 27 years now. This is an extremely tough, competitive business, and we've been workin' it for a longer continuous period than just about everyone. We write super-retro, super-low-budget games that don't look great.

Edit: We have seen many comments on our April Fool's joke. We strive to make the Godot community, and game development in general, a welcoming place for everyone. By not understanding the various ways in which our joke could be interpreted we have failed in this goal. The Godette character was made years ago. It was not created for this joke. The joke itself was intended to poke fun at a very vocal minority of users who think that our robot logo isn't "professional", thus the joke was

In the aviation business, pilots go through a series of tasks at the beginning of every flight. It’s called the preflight checklist and it all happens before the plane ever leaves the tarmac. The idea is to ensure safety and make sure that nothing is accidentally left undone. Other industries could definitely benefit from the checklist mentality, and I consider crowdfunded board games to be among them.

Hogwarts Legacy: I’ve always been a sucker for the Potter books, as I loved them as a kid and some of my fondest memories of travel was the road trips me and my dad took around the country listening to the books on tape/cd. Whether this can live up to the premise of delivering a full “Hogwarts” experience remains to be seen.

From time to time, I see board game creators on social media who have been working on the same design day-in, day-out for years on end. Of them, they seem to fall into two basic camps. The first are people making a board game as a labor of love, who know they’re taking their sweet time on it, and they’re OK with it. And the second camp? They don’t like what they’re doing, and they just won’t quit.

Hey all I’m back with the sequel to a game I covered over three years ago for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s Soul Reaver 2! Plot: The plot is a direct continuation of the first Soul Reaver game, and it deals with time travel in a way that is fairly well handled. About as well as Time Travel can ever be handled at least. Frankly looking back this story was quite dark, and the fact that it ended so open-endedly may have helped shape my dislike of that particular story telling technique, altho
