Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 bro, if my life was such that I found Pirate fucking Software inspirational
you dont get it spooky, retards like feeling theyre smarter and inspired
Idk, I think if a total unlikable retard can make it
maybe we all can
this inspiration thing might be the correct take
Honestly, I don't even know if I can say thats great
I do not think the average quality of games coming from those people would be all that high
It takes way too much effort to make something
I don't even have time to help phijkchu games make their game
let alone make my own
What game are they making
3rd phijkchu games game
it had a minor delay, but will be out at the end of March, Pirate's grinding hard
RIP Ludum Dare
(though looking into it now, the main organizer seems to have kinda spun off)
idk whose actually running it now, but I feel like venting about being broke, in the same sentence you refuse to monitize Ludum Dare
is a choice
Idea: PhijkchuGames game jam where all participants needs to use toushin gent characters
Geniuuuus marketting
it was the 'original' game jam, and its where a lot of very famous early indie games came out of

at some point in 2022, the original LD forum guys disapeared, and a community moderator took over
which looks like why it's a clusterfuck now
new guy claims to have "been around since the begining" but he's clearly just some nut
it looks like the 2022 guy got the Twitter and domain from the old team, or maybe the twitter was held by a group and he just took it over, unclear
I think it's a non-zero amount of work to manage, so I get why a bunch of notable indie vets don't want to take it over
but it sucks to see it die due to mismanagement
Will be hard to top his pre-release Vicky one

end of an era
RIP Bioware
I thought they'd at least try to shove the next Mass Effect out
they realized at some point in Dreadwolf's development it was fucked, and pulled staff
I mean true
if the entire studio folds, I think EA might sell off their other couple single player studios too
yep, Anthem failed, ME:Andromeda failed, and Deadwolf failed
their good staff left after Anthem
BioWare - Mass Effect, Dragon Age
Cliffhanger Games - (Currently developing a Marvel Wolverine game)
Criterion Games - Burnout, Need for Speed
Frostbite Labs - Frostbite Engine (Technology, not a game series)
Full Circle - Skate (revival in progress)
Motive Studio - Star Wars: Squadrons, Dead Space (remake)
