- Hire Harriet!
- An actual left-wing project almost got into power in the UK in the late 2010s and as punishment the British establishment will swing the country towards fascism over and over so that the public don't get any funny ideas like that ever again
- Reposted by Jay Baylis | making CASSETTE BEASTSSiegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game, is available now! This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!" Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!
- Very excited for this one!
- the rental market is so bad right now
- Reposted by Jay Baylis | making CASSETTE BEASTSLove and support for the trans community in the UK today, the supreme court decision is a pitiful regressive step for the country, which will ultimately embolden bigots - transphobia is a curse on our society and the UK's weird obsession with it is driving us all into the dirt.
- Fascinating read - this line stuck out to me. It really emphasises AI evangelism as the natural endpoint of our "optimisation culture", where all process and creativity is to be circumvented for the goal of "end product" regardless of quality. Art without all that slow, inefficient artistic input.

- Feels like the "$80/£80 games are just matching inflation; games in the 1990s cost $100 in today's money" argument *is* technically accurate, but misses out on a major detail - wages haven't risen and everything else is expensive now. I'd take 1990s game prices if we still had 1990s house prices.
- Oh, huh
- Oh my god it's [legally distinct] Bloodborne 2
- Sure, I'll get my predictions in
- Incredible scenes today

- Finding myself instantly becoming a 1000xResist evangelist. Everyone was right about it the whole time. I get it now.

- A new Silent Hill game that doesn't resemble the previous dark americana games at all but is instead a spiritual throwback to the PS2 survival horror era of games like Siren and Kuon... this is actually a great sell, damn

- If you're a small indie trying to figure out how to make your game hit the finish line you should absolutely reach out to Sophie, there's no-one I could recommend more!
- Had fun coming up with the initial turnarounds for these ones, Kuneko especially!
- 📼 MERCH REVEAL TIME 📼 Official Kuneko & Magikrab plushes are now available from our pals over at Symbiote Studios! You can find the whole Cassette Beasts plush collection here: www.symbiotestudios.com/online-store...
- Even if you put aside the (very valid) debate over the ethics of GenAI tools, I honestly just can't see *any* place in my pipeline as an artist/designer/writer where my work would be improved by AI. "You can generate concept art slightly faster but it's gonna be worse" isn't a compelling sell to me!
- me and my big son
- Reposted by Jay Baylis | making CASSETTE BEASTSHave you ever wondered how we go from pencil sketch to in-game sprite for our monster-recording RPG game Cassette Beasts? Here's an explainer! #gamedev #GodotEngine
- Might be walking well-trodden ground here but it's so obvious to me as of late that when players describe a game as having good/bad writing they're never *actually* commenting on the quality of dialogue but the overall narrative structure and tone.
- Feel very vindicated that for years the "common knowledge" was that turn-based RPGs were "outdated" and unpopular, only to see a huge and successful resurgence in the past few years. Can't wait for this one!

- Over 7,000 reviews and still "overwhelmingly positive"! I didn't think we'd be able to maintain such a high user score but very pleased that we have.
