I know, I know. The Repository might sound too good to be true, but I promise you it's EXTREMELY REAL! Free (downloadable) pitch decks and design docs submitted by some of the best to ever do it!

Lots of labour reporting (and more to come) on @verticalslicenews.bsky.social today. That won't always be the case, but it's important!

If workers don't feel secure and supported in the workplace, there won't be any games left to play.

Are you a video game professional working on something RAD and UPLIFTING?

My first days writing for Vertical Slice have been filled with preposterously downbeat and altogether maddening stories.

The news cycle is what it is, but I would love to get some good/fun/silly news on the feed. HMU!

Another of the new builds, I'll have this one with me at my next show. Perfect for spooky season vibes

Last call! Have the makings of a story but I'm always eager to hear more perspectives.
Afternoon! Are you a video game developer who has been falsely accused of using generative AI? I’d love to pick your brains for a story about how those claims impact individuals, teams, and projects.

Email in bio. DMs open. Signal: kerrblimey.43

Keen to hear lots of views!

i'm thinking of starting to look for pixel/design jobs overseas next year (I really want to have this experience)

do you guys have any tips? Does anyone here work remotely for another country and have some thoughts on how the market is right now? (I know things are not easy nowadays "-_- )

i think a few gamedevs follow me
Are you a game dev who has an OPINION on Unity Spark/Google Playground, the new genAI tech that apparently lets you build a video game by simply "describing it through a few prompts."

I would be keen to hear your thoughts if you want send them over via email ([email protected]) or DM.
