Our little studio, FPC, is one year old! I am very grateful for the past 12 months, which have been the most fulfilling in my career. I am even more grateful for the team that has taken a chance on me and our game idea. Thank you, our fledgling community, for your support.

New MMO from former WoW lead gets the earliest first look I've ever seen, and it's the kind of ugly I want every game dev to feel comfortable sharing trib.al/qCXHz65

Ever wondered what early prototyping for an MMO actually looks like? Spoiler: it's not particularly pretty or polished but has been tons of fun, and we're making rapid progress.

Unicorn Overlord flew a bit under the radar with so many big game releases recently. But it was super good - incredibly fun tactics combat in particular!

Definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys that type of game.

The season 1 ending episode for 『葬送のフリーレン』公式 cements it as an absolute masterpiece of a show and earns it a spot in the very exclusive and definitive non-debatable top 5 favorite anime series list.

Highly recommend watching Frieren for anyone who has missed out!

The team is talking about sharing some gameplay footage of our game soon. This is scary because games early in development often look like shit. But we still want to rip off the bandaid so that the community and the studio get used to the idea of Very Early work.

Hearthstone turning 10 years old means I’ve apparently averaged winning 4 HS games a day for a decade.

That seems like a lot. Thanks to the Hearthstone team for so many years of fun! Please bring back Freeze Mage.

Still got it (sort of) in Hearthstone!

Plague Death Knight feels pretty broken, wasn’t actually trying to grind legend but then went on a crazy win streak.

If I had a nickel for every time I acquired Black Swan today in a mobile game I play, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

This podcast is my #1 recommendation for people interested in the business of games.

'Business' considerations / strategy also often end up explaining a lot of broader trends in game dev, and the hosts do a great job of telling that story, too.

Your company doesn’t love you.

If you work for me, my company doesn’t love you, even if I personally might care a lot.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket (even mine). Always keep a side eye out for opportunities. Always have a back up plan in mind. That’s not disloyalty.

Just as a fan, it's exciting to see a future for OW esports that is embracing more open and regionally-driven competition while still letting me watch the best of the best go it at at the big live events.

Missed opportunity to call it the Overwatch League 2 though.
