Microsoft just laid off 9,000 people from Xbox - cutting 4% of its workforce and cancelling some projects entirely.

Teams hit hard are the Raven and Sledgehammer who support Call of Duty development, Rare who have had to cancel their Everwild project, and The Initiative - a studio that hadn’t released a game yet - and were working on Perfect Dark.

One thing that’s frustrating when seeing layoffs like this is that’s there’s always a line in there about the development of a project being difficult.

In my experience in both Games and Tech, one of the biggest barriers to development is lack of clarity on what departments are working on and no cohesive planning beyond ‘X’ milestone every few months.

One role that is commonly dismissed in the industry is the role of ‘Producer’ - often being referred to a glorified JIRA ticket-watcher, to the point where some producers joke about it. That’s the role that needs to evolve if game development is going to mature as an industry.

Other barriers is larger studios not having the resource or not putting in the effort to onboard and cultivate new people into the industry. They bring new ideas!

Made some great progress in this part of The Roottrees Are Dead - Roottreemania is way more complex and throws a bunch of red herrings (and straight-up dead ends) at you.

And I'm loving it, it's so much fun.

Cheeky wee bit of British fascism on a Wednesday evening.

Delighted to announce Little Corners, a game I've been working on with the team at Secret Sauce and Meteor Pixel.

Little Corners is a cosy, sticker decorating game where you can create your own wee dioramas. There's no timer, no complex objectives, just you and a whole bunch of stickers!

The demo is now available on Itch where you can choose from over 200 stickers and make the corner your own!

You can support the development by rating the game on Itch, Wishlisting the game on Steam, and sharing your corners on this post or on your blog!

Considering your pinned post starts with “welcome shaggers”, I like the “zoinks scoob”. I know that’s not what it means but like. Zoinks

Haha aye, I feel like "Zoinks, Scoob" is under-utilised
