great to see folks building new and meaningful social features on their own timelines. especially guided by community feedback and prioritization. the future of this atmosphere thing should be shaped by many hands

Leap Year is now available on Nintendo Switch! www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

My hot take is that if you're a high end executive like Miyamoto and these Game Directors, you are allowed to crunch and it can even help the production overall, if it means your workers can do their best work without crunch. This story does indicate that the workers were not included in the crunch.

Facts. And I'll even be there this year

My company is giving away GDC passes and $$$ as part of its upcoming game jam!

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

I'ma buy this

Bezi is hiring a new role in Technical Business Development! You'll be introducing Bezi to AA-AAA game studios and addressing challenges in their technical pipelines. Experience with Unity gamedev required. www.bezi.com/careers/busi...

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas. #ProcGen #GameDev

Our Nintendo store page is up! You can wishlist over here now too: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

end of 2024 thoughts on ATProtocol programs / products: 1. @stream.place - has made massive strides even just in the last two months. love webhook function and metadata features. 2. @leaflet.pub - has become the default blog post program for atproto. needs more multimedia features for my usecase.

The most useful lesson of anyone's career. Unfortunately it's one of those things that can't be taught, you have to experience it to believe it.

lotta new people on bluesky (also known as ATProtocol), so here is a basic primer i made around a year ago on how it works! basically, this platform works off: a. Your Feeds b. People You Follow that's it !! happy skyline scrolling 😀

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

For a year fraught with many challenges, turmoil, & shaken sense of stability, we cannot wait to continue living up to the honor bestowed upon us: bringing impactful programming, funding, & scholarships to devs of color. Thank you for the kind words, & thank you @indiegameawards.gg for this honor!🏆

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Lets try this agin with our release date video: BIG HOPS is releasing January 12th, 2026 on PC, Switch, and PS5. It's about 15 hours long, will cost $20 USD, and yes it runs GREAT on the Switch 2! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/...

Bezi's 2025 stats are in. Some of us had a very productive gamedev year. #gamedev #unitydev

I made a tiny incremental game over a weekend and uploaded it to @itch.io Check it out! Can be played in a browser! It's very short, tho!

After an incredible 3 years working with @messhof.bsky.social , I'm now starting a new role as Game Engineer at @bezi.com! Huge thanks to everyone at Messhof for the opportunity to work together to ship WHEEL WORLD~ Plus @annapurna.com and all our other partners

Just wrapped on the launch trailer. SKATE STORY launches December 8th on PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2

Time to cook

🚀 We just shipped v0.214.0! TypeScript receives pretty errors! 🎉 Thanks KyleBarton!

Apparently my Staff Designer course is one of the top performers in Maven's sitewide sale. It's lovely that the subject has resonated with so many people! I love teaching IC design leaders. 🥹 Today's the last day to get 25% off, grab your spot before midnight PT! maven.com/catt-small/s...

This is amazing. A Gmail-like interface for searching the Epstein emails released by Congress. jmail.world

It is a shame, but you don't owe anything to this industry, just like you don't owe anything to your employer. You need to be able to switch industries as a matter of survival. When someone joins the game industry we congratulate them, but it means they left behind another industry, and that's ok.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Wheel World is nominated!

Skate Story is as good as it looks, bursting with immaculate vibes that sell the freedom of boarding, all in a vaporwavey take on the underworld. @devolverdigital.com @bysameng.com @skatestory.com

Very tempted to learn how to make a bluesky feed, so I can make one that has everything EXCEPT the most trending topic

Baseball is boring af

This was a really fun project for our team! The Switch 2 unlocked a lot of optimizations opportunities in the rendering backend (which we naturally took advantage of). We are looking forward to seeing how far people can push Godot games on the Switch 2!!

Useful list if you want, but also this is big win for atproto

This will be the premier aesthetic of the 2030s. All executives outsourcing their ideas to AI. High def with no discernable purpose. Rebrands and reboots every year, and nothing will stick. Culture will become purely an academic concept, first in data science, then in archaeology.

Regarding the news today, all I have to say for now is... subscribe to The Onion. Thank you for believing in us and thank you for your patience.

For example, Trump is currently on track to deport fewer people than Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama

So I’ve been working on my next adventure game. This is the first background image I’m sharing. I figured I might as well earn the inevitable comparison to Monkey Island 😈

Leap Year is now in a bundle with Öoo (by @namataka.bsky.social) and Linelith (by @cwpat.me), two of my absolute favourite knowledge-based exploration games. If you haven't played them before I highly recommend both! store.steampowered.com/bundle/59151...

i didn't know this but on your itch account you can see all the bundles you where in! the total sum of money made for charity over the years (only that i participated in) is... $9,748,184.49 and that's only what i was part of! imagine how much more the site facilitated that went to various causes.

ahh good shit in this indiana jones game dev talk by Zeke Virant. talking about their "hand shapes" and grip system... they made all these box / cylinder / 1h / 2h presets, "we used small cylinder a lot" (screenshots from the live twitch right now -- www.twitch.tv/nyugamecenter )

GDScript Formatter can reorder your GDScript code for you! Signals and variables first, then built-in Godot functions, then public and private custom functions, etc. It's open source, written in Rust, and runs fast. Give it a try: www.gdquest.com/library/gdsc...

bring these back you cowards
