Ambitious, creative, one-of-a-kind game every game designer should check out... not perfect but not the point

Wave race 64 in my indie game!? #game #vídeogames #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

Once again.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Culture has to turn away from this shit to survive. We have to make our own stuff and maybe it’ll look like dogshit but we can call it ours and love the process

Today, we are so excited to announce the Insider Gaming Showcase. Coming May 28th, this showcase will feature a wide variety of games from studios looking for funding or publisher backing. Submissions are open until Friday, March 20. insider-gaming.com/insider-gami...

I'll be bringing Hypnogenesis to the Wonderville playtest tonight if you want to give it a spin (& give some feedback) before @allenriley.com & I take it to the ExGS at @officialgdc.bsky.social next month! Specifically, we're testing the the first positive element: a little smile that grants health

people will be like "indies will save the games industry" and then refuse to buy an indie game until it's in a steam sale for 99 cents

I have to say the thing I am most grateful for is Pokemon's cross-generational appeal; going to TCG swap meets & 'gym' events with my granddad, who had his own decks/collection & was a proficient player. He's gone now, but Pokemon persists, and is now one of the brands I most share with my daughter.

SUMMITSPHERE is developing a brand-new Unreal title in partnership with a major industry player. We’re assembling a small, elite team to build something tight, ambitious, and punk. Today we're opening our first position for an Unreal Engineer to lead programming on this project.

Meteorologist: we're expecting snow, sleet, and hail - boring - too detailed - just different forms of water Meteorologist: we're expecting a wintry mix - mysterious - excitingly vague - could include a yeti

Gamers these days are ridiculous. So entitled and needy, so quick to flip out over the smallest little thing. And you have to explain and hold their hand through everything like it's the first game they ever played in their life. Look at this. No respect for the hardware, no respect for the craft

Interesting how grounded and “realistic” the artwork feels in later Calvin & Hobbes because Watterson fundamentally understood how to rotate bodies in space. But zoom in on the feet and hands here and it’s basically Peanuts, super flat and “cartoony”. Such a light touch!

I'm looking to speak to games industry professionals based in Europe, Canada, Japan, Korea, etc., about your concerns with potentially travelling to the United States right now. If you'd like to talk, I can be reached securely at [email protected] or via Signal at mikestraw.15

I made the moving platforms slippery because I couldn’t figure out how to make them work as regular moving platforms!

Legendary @messhof.bsky.social game. One of the Game Maker Community classics that inspired me to get serious about making games with smiley faces

Game Poems Issue #2 submissions for short-form video games are now open: www.gamepoems.com/submit

Testing out level painting renders. Unsure on having the level names be on them, as it feels extremely cheesy to me.

all the mario 64 levels where you can backflip back into the painting after getting a star are good and all the mario 64 levels where you can't backflip back into the painting after getting a star are bad

working on a nightlife scene for my new lifesim game

We have a relatively small group of price insensitive game buyers that, if interested in a game, will buy regardless of price, and will buy the most expensive edition available. Most others will wait for dirt cheap sales, giveaways or sub services. K shaped game buyers for the K shaped economy.

exactly 10 years ago i used my custom softbody physics system in unity to make a digital valentines day card for a girlfriend and she got really mad at me and said "youre just using it as an excuse to work on your custom softbody physics system"

Underrated game. Wave Race looked great, felt great, delivered what it was supposed to. One of many examples of Nintendo in this era executing concepts in 3D with almost casual mastery of totally new frontiers for console games

BROOO this fucking kills me if you don't understand how like, ALL of modern music is based on music made by Black people, you need to seriously open up a book and learn

dunk attempts

Once again I am torn between box2d or writing my own movement logic. Sometimes box2d is cool and fun and amazing but mostly I just fight with it. Do I need to just adjust my approach or should I bag it and do something custom?

Go support Tucker. His thoughtful, in-depth interviews with game devs are like nothing else out there. A rare opportunity to dig in and talk game design and history just for its own sake. His work is the anti-slop and we need more of it

This is basically how most procedural terrain generation algorithms work in video games

I have new RunMan Turbo stuff to share soon. My 4yo son has been playing it, which is heartwarming and sweet and like a dream come true and all. But also he won't shut up about it now. He's like "dad what's up with RunMan", "we should play RunMan dad", "dad come on" and I'm like I'M WORKIN ON IT

Doing some more work on the background visuals of Flymageddon, with more defined trees and grass parallax scrolling in the background. The trees are also using a new Shader Graph shader I made to have them blow in the wind maintaining their 'pixelization'! #gamedev #indiedev #unity
