"This game engine is a one man project but it is so cool, why aren't more people using it?" Uhhh. Yeah that's a mystery. Why don't people trust several years of their lives onto the shoulders of one unpaid, passionate, opinionated,

If you're a game developer with a game on Steam that's not been updated in years and it has at least a few wishlists, just please put it on sale now and then. Honestly lack of discounts is more worrying than a lack of updates because it screams "dev has given up".

Managed to get only 2 hours of sleep. Guess it's Beyond All Reason time. (What a blessing to have a blanket and a laptop at a time like this.)

First post on Bluesky 👋 I’ve been quietly building this game for years as a personal project and this past year I pushed some of the hardest tech yet: ✨ Infinite chunk streaming 💡 Per-voxel bounce lighting ⏳ Sand simulation #gamedev #indiedev #voxel #procedural

Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/g...

Rosewater - A writer embarks on a ludicrous quest with a traveling showman to find treasure hidden by a super scientist - Takes place in an alternate history version of 1800's America - Chat with various people on a engaging journey - Way more voice acting than I expected, and it's all good!

I am researching some workflows and would love help if possible. If you are making a non-NDA'd game in Unreal, Unity, or Godot, would you mind making a fullscreen timelapse recording of yourself working for 3 hours, at 3 frames per second? That'll be about ~18 minutes of footage. Any game is fine!

bandcamp friday. go buy music

dumb (?) idea: cargo should let me deduplicate dependencies by allowing something like [dependencies] bevy = "0.18" rand = { from_dep = "bevy" } (for crates that don't re-export their dependencies)

People don't give Deno enough credit for the work they do for the server-side js/ts ecosystem, and for their silly videos.

Watching a 2016 GDC talk about "crackpot AI techniques" and the presenters are like "what if we make AI write a lost Stephen King novel" and "what if some artists lost jobs if they refuse to work with AI art tools". I had ideas like this when I was 10.

I really should go back to playing Thief: Dark Shadows with EAX turned on.

Apparently I made a meme in October

there's a new 40 minute video essay about game mechanics, perfect for your lunch break. as I said to someone in the comments, I think *thinking about the definitions* is more helpful than actually having them... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkLm...

The more I think about game difficulty the more I hate the notion of "the intended experience". Good grief can we finally internalize, as an industry, that different player skills and disabilities vastly change the experience? Just rephrase it "intended exp. for someone with my skill" and admit it's

hot take: using frame-step instead of time-step updates in your game is actually fine for many use cases. Not online games, speedrunning games etc of course. If you cannot guarantee consistent smooth 60+fps, and especially if reaction time matters, and your game lags and makes me fail -> uninstall

I was so incredibly tired of all those sound generators that can only create retro sounds... so I created my own! It's a work in progress and it'll be part of a new project but enjoy some sounds I've made. Each of these took a minute tops! ✨

I'm not saying the video game industry would be saved if they added more Kei trucks into their games, but we would have more Kei trucks.

meredith is one of the best writers in the games industry. station to station is phenomenal. easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time. you're doing yourself a disservice if you're not playing it, especially if you have an interest in narrative design or if you work in the industry. 10/10

facts! Kathy Rain 2 is one of the best modern era Point'n'Click adventure games, not just because it tells a decent story with decent characters, but also challenges the tropes of the genre, and... the ending.... yeah........ i'm not crying

We're not subtle with all our sassy skeeting about it, but it's probably time for a persistent, official statement about our stance on AI. TL;DR: we know what we're talking about. GenAI is harming creatives. There will be no AI features in Yarn Spinner. yarnspinner.dev/blog/why-we-...

ChatGPT's growth plateaued and appears to have started to collapse, this chart is kinda hard to read so it's hard to tell if it's down 22% week over week, or whether on a three month basis traffic is down. Either way, this is not good www.similarweb.com/corp/wp-cont...
