WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

DARPA's Excalibur: www.darpa.mil/research/pro... It's a program to develop optical phased array laser combining kW-class fiber lasers into arrays with tens of subapertures reaching ~100 kW total beam power at near-diffraction-limited beam quality.

Couldn’t be more on the nose

It's challenging learning how to make forward progress when You have windows of time varying from 15 min to 3 hours randomly during the week. Just as soon as I think I'm getting good at it I find myself staring at the screen for an hour unable to start. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I have a Gun turret that is upgradeable up to level 3, a Barracks, and an Artillery turret both of which will be upgradeable. My NPCs wear little party hats until a barrack soldier engages them. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Today: NPCs can now be assigned routes by wave! I've added a WIN menu that sends you to a new level where you buy upgrades by building structures Choosing Research Branches using Victory points #indiedev #unreal #indiegame #gamedev

Today I set up 2 in Editor tools. One to snap the ends of road splines together with a matching tangent and one to snap tower foundations to the nearest point on the spline with the correct offset, rotation, and also snapping to the nearest side of the road. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #unreal

Latest, I'm focusing on level creation pipeline tools. I made my road splines smart. In their construction script they correctly identify the next segment in their path and self Identify as the last road segment when that's the case. So I can now place branching paths. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Ah, I don’t know why I didn’t think about posting my earlier 17-post thread as a screenshot of my tweet at the other place. Thanks, @rj-palmer.com!

So spectacularly embarrassing

Hey all, as I'm talking about the castle defense game. I'd love any thoughts or observations on your favorite elements of the genre. Also, I'm new to talking about something like this so tell me what you'd like to know or hear more about! :) #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #blender

I've got a level 1 turret built here and you can see the wave timer running at the top. There's a set time between when waves will auto trigger, but pressing the timer early gives you a currency bonus that decreases over time. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #unreal

My Spawner starts by grabbing the length of the three path splines, which can sometimes be different...this establishes the last point on the spline where the castle resides and triggers their damage behavior. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #blender

I created a foundation that serves as a parent blueprint for all of my towers. It includes a build menu and a collision volume that triggers behaviors from my NPCs. I built a data table for towers, and NPCs so I can change them at will. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #towerdefense #unreal #blender

I've been working on a tower defense game and I keep thinking I should start talking about it but I keep working on it instead. I started it last year and made a lot of progress in a couple months, and then put it on hold in order to refresh my portfolio, but now I'm back at it. #indiegame #gamedev

Starting a thread to keep all my UNDERGROWTH stuff in. One nice easily scrollable pinned post. 1/??

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Artist Edouard Groult has posted for free on Patreon the full horror Star Wars story "Grim Snow" that he previously shared on Instagram. No dialogue. Everything told in a series of more than 160 incredible illustrations. Highly recommended (if you're okay with visual body horror, of course)

Workin' on somethin'

Pretty dark

just wanted to draw fire extinguishers at first _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_

Robert McCall (1979)

Didn’t see the Oscars. Raving comments made me look on YouTube because I needed to see this for myself. What magnificence! Someday there’ll be sensible merit based decisions in these awards. Meanwhile, kudos to Misty Copeland, Michael B Jordan, Brian Coogler & their team. youtu.be/j3ae7BvTuC4?...

Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Old cartoon gets new life. ​Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026. ​The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.

I wanted to make a piece called “a murder of crows” now it will no longer plague my head!

“I don’t want to hear even the slightest amount of bullshit about how you didn’t need to ask for permission to use our names & use our identities. You just wanted to steal, so you stole. You wanted to take things w/o permission, so you did. It’s wrong.”

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Last bump before the weekend!

the social contract is broken if these dipshits don't see consequences.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Back to posting dev updates on Trash City Turbo after taking some time to get our Steam page up. Follow us at @machinefun.bsky.social to see how the game is coming along and if its something you like the look of, you can wishlist us here: store.steampowered.com/app/4484260/...

Picked up Mega structures encyclopedia by @artofsoulburn.bsky.social during #eccc! The past few days I’ve been enjoying this book, a few of my favorite pages!

The money that could have given Americans universal healthcare here at home is being spent instead to murder schoolgirls overseas.

Would really appreciate people re-sharing and whishlisting our game, as indie devs with zero budget, spreading the word and getting our wishlist numbers up will be a massive help. Thanks in advance to anyone who has done so.

Picked up a few amazing works from @isaachannaford.com at #Eccc!

Last day! #ECCC #seattle come say hi!

Come visit us :)
