There are people who post genAI art of landscapes, along with the prompt, and you see a fair share of comments: "That one is nice". "I love the colours!". "Stunning!". And I'm thinking, is it some kind of joke? Am I missing something? Are they just eager to make a point? Convince themselves?

Boomers who always go back to the hot summer of 1976 like "How did we survive back then?" is the worse argument ever. It wasn't as hot! There have been 5 summers than have been hotter since (2025 and 2026 among them). The hottest in 1976 was 35.9. Britain has reached 39 and 40 several times since.

1- A type of hard bug to find is the one that happens on an object where something silently goes unexpected in the object data, but it doesn't manifest itself until later when the data causes something else to go wrong. By the time you see the bug, it's too late. #gamedev

I've had this Shovel Knight T-shirt since 2019 that I still wear occasionally. For the first time I got someone stopping me to say "I like your shirt!". It was this kind of situation where the drive of the person to let you know that they know outweighs the awkwardness of the interaction.

Congratulations to Yacht Club for the release of Mina The Hollower!

MINA IS OUT! 🐭 It hasn't sunk in yet. It's been a wild 6 years of dev and feels weird not waking up and going to my desk to pixel new sprites. Her adventure has finally come to a close for me so she could start a new one with all of you. From the bottom of my 8x8px heart--Thank You. 💟

Sometimes I don't see my desktop for weeks. When I restart my computer, it's a whole new world.

The Sentinel is like a masterclass of game design. With just a few basic actions, everything makes perfect sense in the game logic. One of my all time favourite games for sure. Another game that has this quality of self-evident design is Joust. #atarist #retrogaming

Finally, the most important researcher in my game has a "lab". They've got a strange way of arranging things, but it's quite sensible for her. Wanna take a guess why? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Dumped a lab asset pack on my itch - some basic tiles and a pile of equipment and machinery. It focuses on things I wanted to see in asset packs while making my own game. Maybe someone else is also looking for a 16px eyewash station? tararntula.itch.io/lab-tileset-16 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Come on admit that when it comes to M&M's, skittles, Haribo... given one choice you always pick the green, not because it tastes better but because green looks more valuable and special.

We are proud to say that Twin Shot Deluxe was entirely made by humans ✊

An old movie that I really like, in the big Hollywood production category, is "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (the adaptation from 1954). I'll have to watch it again sometime.

Twin Shot Deluxe is OUT NOW! 👀 Available on Steam / Nintendo Switch... (mobile coming soon too!) Its $10 £10 €10 (with a launch week -10% discount on steam)

Guess what detail is wrong in the image?

Twin Shot Deluxe comes out tomorrow! Be ready!

1- In the English speaking world, making fun of the French (stereotypes, accent...) is a cultural thing that is passed down the generations. Someone may never have met a French person but they will know some comedy with a representation of French people, and that will be their reference.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner Quest's page now has a demo: st33d.itch.io/robot-vacuum...

Putting things together in a test level. I was afraid that navigation would be too tedious/random, but it's actually quite fun! #pico8 #gamedev

In games development, "attention to detail" is a loosely defined quality that is often seen as just a plus for an employer. But talking from experience (and totally applicable as a game programmer), it's the one quality that ends up making most of the difference in the long run (imo).

8.5/10 from @gamegrin.com? I'll take it, thanks so much!! :D www.gamegrin.com/reviews/high... #HighwayNoir #IndieGame

- Guitarist playing harmonics: “Check this out”. - Other guitarist: “So cool!” - Regular person: “Why does it sound weird? Can you play normal please?”

I have been under the impression that the verb 'to choose' and all its forms had some weird spelling quirk where the 'OO' sound was sometimes written with one 'O'. So I was sometimes spelling it 'chose' even when pronounced 'choose'. But I guess I was wrong, you always spell it as pronounced.

Your periodic reminder that LLMs are incapable of "understanding" anything and that it is all a function of "self working card trick" of language probabilities; it just generates likely sounding bullshit. Sometimes that likely sounding bullshit is accurate because likely sounding things often are.

If you are walking a dog who suddenly comes facing me, one meter away, with its mouth open, like I don't know if it's smiling or about to bite me. What do you say? Do you say that he's friendly? Do you laugh? A half-hearted sorry? I've had all of the above. Never a genuine sorry for disturbing you.

Experimenting with looseness a little bit

I miss my 44k twitter followers, but that place became a cesspool. Only thing is, I used to be mutuals with all the studios and art directors, and never had trouble finding work. Right now it's hard to even pay rent, because out of sight means out of mind

I pointed to my son that he plays very sloppy games and doesn't mind graphical glitches all over, but with my own games he will spot the most insignificant bug or inconsistency. He replied that when a game is "full of things that are wrong", he doesn't care anymore. Pretty good answer. #gamedev

I highly recommend this game, made by a very talented solo indie dev (with a great soundtrack by various artists). Action/arcade racing with missions, the underworld, you know, good stuff.

Well done mate!

I had a burrito, but without beans and juice that comes with it, it's a little dry... and disappointing.

ITS TOMORROWW AAAAAA

It's Highway Noir Eve! This being the first one there aren't any traditions, so I just hope you have a nice day #HighwayNoir #IndieGame #IndieDev #ArcadeDriving #NeoNoir #Thriller #ComingSoon

📣Friends of Relatively Painless Games! The beta version of Uncle Lee's Cookbook is ready and we're looking for testers! You'll get to keep the game when it's released and (if you want) your name in the credits. DM or reply here if interested. store.steampowered.com/app/3777930 1/2

There's a lot of overlap between level design and gameplay programming. The process is very similar, and one often informs the other: test, iterate, iron out an almost insignificant detail. Do it again. Then do another pass. Then another. Eventually you take it to a good, foolproof state.

I feel that in current Formula One, with overtaking being so frequent, the starting position from qualifying doesn't matter.

I am still very much available for work! Skills: Art direction, concepting, prototyping, workflows & documentation, art implementation, strong communication and collaboration with programmers & designers. Please reach out via my email on my website for any opportunities 💖 fensartden.com

"Mr Romain Macré, over there at the back, would you like to share with us what is so funny, so we can all enjoy?". Have you had this teacher in your country?

In chess, an unexperienced player will feel like a genius after they got a big material advantage, allowing them to finish off the game. Every move is so clever! It's like capitalism (or football to an extent, due to defending). Having an advantage makes it easier to increase it.

When my daughter was 4, we visited a museum and saw skeletons from Ancient Rome. I said "Don't worry, they've been dead for a long time". The next day she asked: "Are we sure that skeletons are all dead now?" I was puzzled, then it all made sense: she thought skeletons were a type of creatures!

I find it hard to understand how bullies in movies or series are universally despised and hated (and they are written for that purpose as an established trope), yet you see that the bullying behaviour that they displayed is often accepted, and even rewarded in society.

I'm thinking of all the 'endless'/score chaser games that I played on mobile roughly between 2014-2020. A lot of them. One that stands out as one of my favourite, in retrospect, is Pako Forever, which I played for hours and hours on Apple TV.

Baked crisps, they are more healthy I get it, but personally I wouldn't even call them crisps. I can eat them, but they provide no enjoyment whatsoever.

Hello, my name is Joonas Turner and I am looking for new projects to work on. I have a long experience working in all kinds of games. I am primarily looking for work as a Sound Designer and Music Composer but I am useful as a Game Designer as well. #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio

Posted on LinkedIn last night, woke up to several hundred notifications, friends requests, etc. Seems I struck a nerve in the industry by saying I wanted to create my own projects and not be at the sway of execs. I've said for a while it's going to have to be smaller studios and smaller projects.
