Updates and the like...

I'm finally doing the game developer thing for realsies. If puzzle games with a bit of a narrative element are your jam, consider throwing a wishlist my way. Anyone following me probably knows how big a deal those wishlist numbers are! store.steampowered.com/app/4708400/...

After a few months off I'm happy to share that Leeds Games Toast is returning next week. We're close to the train station, and we (gadly) get game makers from across the North, NE, NW joining us to hang out and chat with fellow game makers

My descent into artsy fartsyness continues... www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0V1...

Alright it's time

Me seeing this post straight after a soaking wet 6am dog walk 😠

Currently on day 21 of the "It's one day a year" firework barrage.

I know I'm not setting any growth records with my channel, but incredibly proud to have reached this milestone. If you're one of these subscribers, tysvm 😍

Are there news outlets that *only* publish researched stories at the expense of time to market? I'm increasingly feeling like if the story broke within an hour of it happening, it's not worth reading (the writing, not the story). And if it doesn't warrant an emergency broadcast, I can wait.

Against my better judgement I read an article about using Obsidian as a magazine to avoid doom scrolling... It was links. They added links to stuff they wanted to read to an Obsidian page. Ever feel like everything useful that could be written might already have been written?

One thing I keep being told on my games programming course is that, yes, floats are more expensive, but it's negligible in game development. Don't care bro if it don't gotta be a float I'm not making it a float.

Pro-tip: if you're going to drink whiskey and stream REPO with 12 other people, don't have the bottle on your desk 😳

unity asset store unfortunate text placement...

Making a lesson about decals, do you like this one? 🤖

when you turn 40

Hey [User] 👋 This is a good tweet! 😂👌 I’m not some cold robot ❄️🤖 I definitely have so much personality 😎🎉🔥 Can’t you tell from the vast amount of emojis I use? 💅😁

Saw the amazing Ziggy Alberts last night. Throat's paying for it today but worth it 🎶

Something about GitHub using emojis in their emails makes me uncomfortable 😳

A story in three parts

When did the film journalism industry collectively agree it made any kind of sense to include a marketing budget in the "break even" amount but not the budget? If it needs to make $350m to break even, it did not have a budget of $140m. Words mean things.

PROVIDENCE STEAM PAGE UPDATE! All new screenshots and the new teaser trailer! Wishlist it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3643600/... #providence #providencegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #unitydev #gamedev

I'll never understand websites that try to seize control of the back button to prevent you from leaving. Do they not understand the sheer bloody-minded petty stubbornness that drives me? Try that shit one time, and not only am I definitely leaving, I'm never coming back.

I think Imma have to call @microsoft.com's HR department because that Windows startup pop-up for connecting to your phone and using 365 has not been respecting my wishes for years now. No matter how many times I go through it saying I don't want it, it eventually comes back. No means no, Microsoft.

Not exactly setting my portfolio on fire with this one, but in my first few weeks as a games programming student, I made this for an assignment (we weren't allowed to use/make assets, only primitive shapes).

UK workers at Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM have unionized

Today I found out that a website that acts as a "Pastebin for Unreal Blueprints" is technically covered by the vaguely-worded UK Online Safety Act and, understandably, chose to just cut the UK off instead of implement stupid and unecessary age verification.

Does Mr Kipling still make exceedlingly good cakes or no?

Collaboration is to commit messages what going outside and seeing other people is to your wardrobe. It reduces the chances you're going to be weird about it.

📷 Tiny Kingdoms is a peaceful building game where you draw packs of cards to place new tiles and grow your kingdom. #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #cozy

Peak but cars. (also, amazing work on the mechanics)

I'm not a scientist but this is exactly why I recently deleted my Twitter account after having been on the platform since 2007 share.google/kiFHSz7b4QxV...

So many chair streams, lost to time like tears in the rain 😢

When it's time for the harvest but you absolutely just have to boogie.

Constantly waiting for the shoe to drop, but I'm enjoying the run #bcafc #bantams

Post a female character you love

Pro-tip; don't binge watch Jacob Geller videos before sitting down to a write a script for a new video. Shit reads like an Geller-impersonator 😭

Kinda mind blowing that they had reflections.

One of the first picutres to use now-routine techniques like surface shaders, the 'Road to Point Reyes' (1983) took a team of Lucasfilms engineers an entire month to render.

Finally bit the bullet and fully deleted my Twitter account. I had wanted to keep the account so my name was taken but after the past few days, I just don't want any association with that app or the kind of people who use it these days.

Filling your socials with game devs has its downsides. I was halfway through a post about how amazing the graphics were in someone's screenshot when I realised it was a photo of their kitchen 🥴

Unfortunately the clarifications don't make it less gross. Pokeballs are a copyright issue. Patenting ball throwing mechanics (or any mechanics) is hostile to game development.
