Funny you mention that. I tried to buy FF7R a few weeks back at Target and have them price match Walmart for $10 off. Walmart had two listings - FF7R at $60 and FF7R with a bonus "art card" tucked into the cover for $50. If you se

I re-released an old Action-RTS game onto Kongregate where it's been played 45k times so far. I started a mailing list for a sequel which already has over 200 signups! https://www.kongregate.com/games/Frenchie14&#x

There's a model for going free -> paid. There's no model for going App V1 -> V2 with payment.

Make sure to check Craigslist for high end office chairs, especially if you're in a highly populated area. I got a Steelcase Leap V2 for $300. I've been using it daily for five years

The best "easy to learn, hard to master" that I know of is PICO-8. You can get up and running with a simple game incredibly fast. The entire IDE/Engine is a single program. You write all code, draw all sprites/maps, comp

There's a lot of options! I use Unity3D. For 2D games, I'd recommend something with a more native web build.

This past weekend I uploaded a small game to Kongregate. It's been played 1000 times in the last 24 hours. I'd say the community is still surprisingly alive! Also, if I had uploaded the same game with zero marketing to mobile, I&#

Sorry, let me clarify: conversations that used to take place over lunch at the table can no longer happen because everyone is off eating different things / at different times. So instead, all of the one-off conversations that I used to

My company got acquired by a larger, public company. 80-90% of us are still here after 3 years. Acquiring company was also a technology company, saw that our product filled a gap that they needed, and believed that acquiring a company was w

MagicaVoxel is great! Even though the program is not open source, the file format is documented by the creator [0]. For a small game I'm working on I read in the vox files and reconstruct the meshes in-game. I can then create procedura

I'm assuming the loss of height comes from measuring distances directly between points instead of along the surface of the sphere. Much cheaper, but by design you'll cut through the sphere to connect each point

Since `git status` is my most common command I've got it aliased to just `s`. Every time I use another machine it throws me off when the command doesn't work :)

I have a similar setup at work, albeit Ubuntu VM in a Mac OS host (I don't like Mac OS). A lot of these sound like VM issues. For example - the copy to clipboard if you select a string. That's how your VM is "sharing" th

Scenario: you have two offers on hand. One offer is for a full time position. The other is for "let's see how the next one to two months goes and then we'll decide if you still have a job or not." Which do you pick? All

Valid point; I hadn't considered it that way. There's still a large difference in audience between the two but ultimately you're surrendering the information to unknown parties.
