Gaming just feels really sad right now. Layoffs every other week. Told you must accept GenAI slop or you won't survive. If a game doesn't have 400k concurrent players it's a "dead game"
I'm just tired. This isn't how I remember gaming, it used to feel more magical, yeah...

Solve the objectives, survive the killer Android hunting you, and hunt from the shadows as the Mimic.
We spoke with creator @RyanLaley about the Mimic's premise, features, and more as part of our 28 Games Later Showcase.
Check it out ahead of Mimic's October 27 release
Excited to share that Mimic has over 20,000 wishlists and counting. Can we get to 30,000 by EA launch October 27th? (Psst.. also it's my birthday today 🎂)
Wishlist now and join the count:

This is welcome news. Of all the platforms, I feel the Microsoft Dev portal is the most confusing to navigate and manage releases on. Overly convuluted. Happy to see it get some attention
We’ve heard the feedback from developers: bringing a game to XBOX should be easier than it is today. We agree, and we’re working to make it better. We care deeply about ID@XBOX and the developers who build for XBOX. We’re starting with some of the areas we know can create unnecessary friction, including our concept and publishing processes, and simplifying them so developers can spend less time navigating process and more time bringing great games to players. More soon.

Fixing bugs in games is like puling on loose threads. What was a small problem quicky unravels to a bigger one ggrrrrr
We are live now with our Live #UnrealEngine and #GameDev helpdesk, come on by ask some questions and get some help on your projects!

Going mad trying to figure out why my contextual animation isn't warping to correct position.
Anyone else ever have this much trouble with FPV contextual animations between two players, namely rotational warping?
I have an interesting proposal to improve social behaviour in everyday life.
Reward AI users with bonus time/credits if they use 'please' and 'thank you' in their AI chat requests.
Curious to see the impact
I don't like folding phones but I think we can all agree that folding animation of the #iphoneduo is pretty sick
As with most of things in games; simpler is better :)
Keep it simple and fit for your needs :)

This apology is a good start. It's also a week late, only exists because thousands of us spoke up, and should have been said from the start
And while you were drafting your first tone-deaf response, I'd already spent thousands replacing an affected dev's stolen hardware.

Let's show some love to @iam8bit and @RyanLaley. This video is amazing, you guys! ❤️
Indie devs can bring amazing video games to your lives!
Last week at Gamescom while we were showing off two of our upcoming iam8bit Presents published titles, Petal Runner and Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, we were one of the unfortunate targets of what turned out to be a spree of thefts from developer booths at the event.
We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone out there for their kind words of support while all that chaos was happening...
But more importantly we wanted to also take some time to shoutout the other developers hit by the thefts!
Be sure to check out @RyanLaley's "Mimic" and @tesserastudios' "The Zibbo Show" on Steam and give them some love!
