For anyone considering the move
I reached the Grandmaster Baiter rank (150) in Jerkmate Ranked - The Game 🏆 Dare to beat me? jerkmate.com/jerkmate-ranked #JerkmateRanked
All it took was a fair amount of artists and game devs to leave and I can happily say the bluesky feels like it's going to sustain momentum.
So farewell twitter. I'll be grabbing all my images and videos and leaving this bot infested, horribly managed, bigot tolerating platform
I've been building a little engagement interactive game for platforms like tiktok for fun on the side as a little programming challenge project. It's been fun to see it working in action and I'm keen to see what else I can do with it.
I was originally meant to go to two but only ended up at one event for MIGW this year and honestly it felt good to be able to just wind down and relax instead of stressing and racing everywhere. Plenty of time for socialising and networking next year :)
The #ffxiv fan celebration event in Melbourne was fun, glad to have had people from the FC to hang with and even picked up a tattoo to rep my fellow WHMs.
Didn't win the Cactpot raffle but maybe next time :P

Told my partner/co-game dev to test a new co-op section with me for our upcoming game. She had no idea I was about to propose.

Still gotta clean up and get 100% but this is definitely my GOTY. Won't be everyone's but what a fun adventure.
Acknowledging their own layoffs was great but following it up with "but we've had record profits" and not then following up with "so we rehired a bunch of people to give their lives back" was a bit of a miss.
Obviously most people would have found other work but cmon.
Simultaneously is actually amazing. Considering how hard the push for exclusivity was it seems they know that's not an ideal scenario anymore.
A better deal for developers 🤝
We just announced ‘Launch Everywhere with Epic’. Starting January 1, you can reduce your Unreal Engine royalties from 5% to 3.5% if you ship your game simultaneously on the Epic Games Store and other stores on PC and Android. Read all the details in our blog, following the stream!
