Pleased to announce we finally have the incredible @TobeyEvans BACK once again handling music and sfx for our next game! Tobey did the audio for The Swindle, Kickmen and LotCG, so I'm beyond delighted and relieved he agreed to return!

Delighted to welcome the amazing @raquel_grisales to the Size Five team today! Raquel is an absolutely incredible artist, and with her help our next game is going to be even more visually stunning.

Utterly delighted to welcome @seddidiot to the Size Five Team! Anna is an incredibly talented artist and we're extremely lucky to have her on board helping make the next game visually stunning. Anna's first week has been largely spaceships and explosions, so a solid start.

THIS IS ARGUABLY NOT IDEAL. If you need a brilliant designer and/ or a funny narrative designer, get Ben in asap, he's brilliant. His attention to detail makes every project 10,000x better. Please RT for visibility, thanks.

Bad news: I've been given two weeks notice that my rolling contract will end at Christmas. Good news: I'm now available for all your design and writing needs! Please consider me for any freelance, contract and permanent roles. DMs are open. Portfolio site: benward.xyz



This is also still a thing! Drop us a line if you'd like the benefit of my and Dan's 15 years of design experience and inexhaustible supply of bum jokes.

SARCASTIC SLOW-CLAP REINSTATED

you're basically right the first time, as far as the underlying reason goes - with hardware acceleration turned on, the video stream uses HDCP to "prevent copyright infringement". they reluctant permit downgrading so as to avoid losing market share on old hardware, i would guess



Okay, I *finally* discovered the solution to this - I had to turn off hardware acceleration in the Chrome settings. It wasn't Netflix/Prime's fault so I withdraw my sarcastic slow-clap in this matter (though not with regards to all the other rubbish they still get up to).

Sarcastic slow-clap to @netflix and @primevideouk for blocking the ability to take screenshots, another anti-piracy measure which actually pushes people towards piracy.



The final part of our Time Gentlemen, Please! dev commentary video series is now up! Enjoy over 200 minutes of glorious trivia, banter and behind the scenes tea-spilling! youtu.be/gr3-M6ycWL0?si…
