Cairn launching Q1 2026. Demo update out soon to make the wait a little easier

Battlefield 6 was the first Battlefield game to hype me since Battlefield 2 & 3. I’m glad fomo is out of the question now.

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

Octopath Traveler games might be the only game serie I want to reshade from scratch. I just hate the yellow tint, bloom, black vignette, and depth of field. To me it always felt like some student UE5 project, overdosing every post-process options.

Vive la France

Today @ 4PM CDT The Mystical Ninja starring Goemon (Recomp so it runs WEIRDLY SMOOTH) You ever see an N64 game run at 60fps? It's pretty crazy. This game is a total weeb classic. It's on N64. It's got mystical ninjas like Goemon and Sasuke. www.twitch.tv/gigaboots

The New Spriters Resource has launched! Go and check it out, watch our announcement video for details, or read our home page update! spriters-resource.com Thank you so much for your patience! Server issues have been somewhat resolved.

New version of The Models Resource just dropped adding an awesome 3D model viewer right into the website so you can now preview models without needing to download them!

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money. The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

The first single from Cairn’s ost just dropped! Get swept away by Aava’s determination to reach the peak in Only the Mountain by electronica Icon The Toxic Avenger. He KILLED the Furi soundtrack, and now he’s back to move mountains. Stream now!

Hi everyone ! I'm a manga artist currently working on my series called "Talli, Daughter of the Moon" 🌙

After coding games for more than 10 years, there's a few things I'm always doing which basically eliminate 99% of crashes and freezes: - never use while loops, this is where all freezes happen - always null check, even if you're 200% sure - always bound check, even if you're 200% sure

Prepare your gear, climbers, Cairn’s demo is now available on PlayStation 5! We can’t wait to see you reach your first summit, and the routes you pick to get there. Play it now: bit.ly/Cairn-PS5Demo ⛰️ #StateOfPlay #IndieDev

I've never worked this hard on a game, but I had so much fun doing it! I can't wait for you to play Sol Cesto in just 2 weeks 😱

Damn, I have to rewatch it #gamedev

Persona 3 Fes VS Persona 3 Reload. Let the battle begin!

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, why is it so difficult to program, and why is it the gold standard for fighting games? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev #AnimationVERSUS The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...? 🧵

100h on Blue Prince, and i thought I was done with it, only to realize there’s much more. Where does it end.

does anyone have advice on color correction and maintaining a (relatively) consistent palette in Godot? I match albedo to my palette, but I can't help thinking a shader with some posterization and some other techniques could really tighten it up. #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev

Addicted to Blue Prince. It’s really good. I was scared of the rng preventing you to apply your acquired knowledge, but the game is well designed. It knows what to keep as permanently unlocked, you’ll discover cool things on each runs, and infos can be applied at later runs. Can’t stop starting runs

MH Wilds has fundamental flaws that makes it the worst one in the serie. So many systems are irrelevant. They removed the entire gameloop prepare -> track -> fight, and turned it into a mindless game on autopilot. The seamless open-areas would have been perfect to improve on that game loop, but no.

Who remembers the 90s? No one! But we’ve got you covered - introducing WILD BLUE! More info coming later this year, but for now… wishlist it anyway? Apparently wishlists are important 🤷 store.steampowered.com/app/1921490/...

The most frustrating thing about big video game companies, is that they spend a lot of resources to study the market, but use the knowledge to follow trends instead of finding a new niche. Same thing with post-mortem highlighting problems, just to keep making them. Each year, the same mistakes.

A theme I've been hearing recently, talking to people who worked on games that took 6+ years to make, is that they always made calls thinking they had much less time. Then the game kept slipping, but they were still stuck with those old calls. So six years of development is never *really* six years

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

"neutral and unbiased" reporting be like: "As Elon Musk starts deporting citizens of certain specific groups - we take a look at the drawbacks but also the benefits of deporting minority citizens. Could this be the new state of affairs? Let's find out!"

Aujourd'hui est une journée historique pour le jeu vidéo. Des grèves dans 3 pays, plus de 1000 personnes à nos rassemblements en France, et encore plus en grève pour lutter pour nos conditions de travail et l'avenir de nos métiers. Le rapport de force a changé #gg25

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

It scares me how culture wars and anti-woke rhetorics have brainwashed gamers to pushed aside the legitimate problems within the modern gaming industry. I miss the days when everyone was unified against the higher executives and CEOs instead of blaming it on wokeness or DEI.

Small PAID gig proposal if you're knowledgeable in Xamarin/Mono on iOS and Android: I have an existing and already released game (ScourgeBringer, to name it) to upgrade to latest .NET and to implement an SDK (native lib to integrate). It's 100% not fun, and paid accordingly.

En marche vers l'internationale fasciste #Extremedroite#International#Politique

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

Climbot is your constant companion on Mt. Kami! If you pound a piton, he can belay you and catch you when you fall. Not only that, but he can also repair your broken pitons and compost your trash! Environmentally friendly king.

Artificial Intelligence will finally have arrived when my laptop can tell me specifically which process is actually still accessing the flash drive I'm trying to eject after closing every open app on the machine.

Y'know, I kinda miss the days when removing bloatware meant "removing the pre-installed candy crush as well as the scammy anti virus that doesn't work" and not "do research on if this program technically involved with drivers is REALLY necessary because it should not be taking up that much RAM"

Live and Earn! Hanging on the edge of tomorrow! Live and Earn! From the work of yesterday!

We saw the fear Wall 7 struck in your hearts, but have you checked out the waterfall yet? Climbers know how tricky Chimney climbs are in real life, so we hope you’ll give them a shot in Cairn!

"hi! I'm your hardware that used to work just fine, but now fails to do a fairly basic thing you counted on it for because of an automatic required update. brought to you by, the makers of: everything! everything does this now™️"

'This is comedy': Balatro developer Localthunk baffled after PEGI hands title 18+ rating

At some point Logitech started bundling GPT software with their mouse software. I found this out because it was causing MASSIVE system instability on my machine. They silently rolled this stuff out and it's not only something I didn't need or want, but it's actively harming my system.

if arguing online changed anything we'd all be running Linux

I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

Some routes in Cairn’s demo are safer than others. But how exciting is it to take risks you never would in real life? screenshot by KUSHDee

Okay, seriously, make some time for the Cairn demo (now on Steam). My hands sweat more in the tutorial than in most full games. Shot right up the list of my most anticipated games.

Coup de tonnerre chez Ubisoft, qui arrête le soutien de XDefiant et licencie 277 personnes entre San Francisco, Osaka et Sydney 🎅 news.ubisoft.com/en-... Le modèle de gouvernance Ubisoft, promis comme différent du reste de l'industrie AAA, prend un bon coup dans les rotules.

People keep trying to defend Balatro’s legitimacy in being nominated for The Game Awards, but that misses the larger point that The Game Awards are deeply embarrassing and you don’t need to care about that.
