I almost didn't make a video this week - it was a tough and frustrating week. But, I decided to just share some gameplay I worked on last year. Let me know what you think ❤️

Another week, another video!!

And instagram! Shall I start sharing there too?!?! www.instagram.com/novembernort...

Yay! Another video as promised!

What have we been up to in the past 8 months of development... watch and find out! #indiegame #indiegames #indiegamedev #madewithunity #MadeWithSynty #unitygamedev #unity3d #unitygames #devlog #TheThirdTourist youtu.be/qNvZ5fsdKYg

I tried out @unitygames #HDRPwater today. It initially looked really awesome, but the lack of tooling for creating things like masks (to attenuate waves around the shore for example) is a killer :-( Have I missed something?! #gamedev #IndieGameDevs #unityGameDev #Unity3d

I have been back and forth over the span of 5 years about whether to publish this article. All opinions and experiences in this post are my own, or from people I personally know, backed up with recent reports and statistics.

The NDC Porto #EarlyBird offer ends today ⏰ Don't miss out on amazing speakers like @nickchapsas.com , @dylanbeatt.ie, @mishmanners.tech, @robconery.com, @laylacodesit.bsky.social and more! See the full agenda and secure your tickets at ndcporto.com

A quick video as we had a major tech breakthrough today - we finally got #Unity #ECS #DOTS working! This means we should be able to obtain our reach goal of deploying The Third Tourist to the #Steamdeck. youtu.be/Thaf8SYLARI #indiedev #gamedev #ThirdTourist #indieGameDev #UnityGameDev

youtube.com/post/UgkxnoJ... I've been working with #Unity #UIToolkit - it's been tough. I've posted a poll to see who'd be interested in a deepdive video on it - lemme know!! #indiegamedev #indiegames #UI #GameUI #GameDesign

A little insight into how we build our buildings and light them: youtu.be/kwGzrDA9RXA #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegames #TheThirdTourist #thirdtourist

I made a quick video about a prototype for a mini game I made for The Third Tourist. It's very basic atm, but we're aiming to have several mini games. Candles will be a big part of the gameplay! #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegames #TheThirdTourist #thirdtourist youtu.be/eUsY62LOr2I

Go watch this now and the run over to Steam and wishlist!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 Thank you to @synty.bsky.social for featuring us and our game #TheThirdTourist on their blog 🎉 syntystore.com/blogs/blog/m...

Today is the last day to get early bird tickets to #NDCoslo I'm giving a 2-day workshop on #ModularMonolith in #dotnet with #dotnetAspire #aspire and a session on the Forgotten AI of video games. There are loads of great speakers and sessions! ndcoslo.com

DevLog number 4 is out! I talk about building interesting landmarks and how we improve performance. #unity #unitydev #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #unitygamedevelopment youtu.be/BOAw3CDp05I

Do you like found families? Characters with a history of trauma trying to do the right thing? Bodyguard romance? Bad guys getting what they deserve? Romantic thrillers? The Ghost Squad are a *great* trilogy and this first book is an awesome intro to Dev’s Destroyers.

Yay!! I can't wait to finish my current book so I can start this!

🔊 Well, all good things come to an end I guess. I am on the hunt for my next role. If you have any Senior Dev Advocate roles open or know of any, please send them my way! #DevRel #DeveloperCommunity

There's still time to grab a spot on my #modularMonolith in #dotnet with #aspire workshop! Come learn how to architect and modularise your applications.

Happy Holidays peeps🎄 Share some holiday cheer and the latest @novembernorth.bsky.social devlog! I had a lot of fun editing this little video - I hope you enjoy it (and share it - did I say that already? 😝) #gamedev #csharp #indiegamedev #unity #unitygamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #gamedesign

Unbelievable!! How can the registrar just do this - it opens any wrbsite to malicious and or ridiculous attacks. "Oh, I don't like the colour they used in their banner let me just file this bogus claim and get them taken down". FFS.

@emilychang.bsky.social is killing it with tech interviews of late. Loving the interviews with the successful women in particular like this one with Lisa Su. So inspiring. youtu.be/8Ve5SAFPYZ8?...

And #devlog number 2 is live! In this episode I share how our LOD systems came to be, how we've started building out the level, and the issues we've had with adaptive probe volumes. youtu.be/3jZMAxHMnVA #unity #unity3d #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #gamedev #csharp

For those wondering why I need such a high-spec'd machine and so much memory 😱😬😆

The KitKat Pattern is the best description of modular monoliths I’ve ever seen. This is brilliant.

Next up tonight it’s @laylacodesit.bsky.social talking about how to build distribution-ready systems using the modular monolith pattern - and how to avoid ending up with the dreaded distributed monolith.

This is so cool, can't wait to see the final thing and play it! Meanwhile, I am all in supporting this amazing project by @laylacodesit.bsky.social and her husband and you can too! Check out their Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/NovemberNo... Even if you just want to stay up-to-date, theres a free tier

We're meeting at Zühlke in Old Street tomorrow night, with guest speakers @laylacodesit.bsky.social talking about modular monoliths, and Andrew Poole talking about fluent method chaining. RSVPs are FULL right now, so please un-RSVP if you can no longer make it! www.meetup.com/london-net-u...

Don't tell anyone, but I'm sharing all the career secrets at the Solution2 online conference! You'll be able to catch it here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPKz... okay, actually, it's okay to tell people

I'll be talking #dotnet #ModularMonolith at #Solution2 today - the online conference put on by the #csharp community. Join me on the @dotnetfoundation.bsky.social YouTube channel today at 6pm GMT | 1pm EST t.co/ANSofA1L8c

Last night I finished the latest @lilithsaintcrow.bsky.social novel - "Hell's Acre" - and now I can't read anything else 😭. It was so very good. I guess I'll just re-reread one of her others - I just love everything she writes - and at least I have plenty to choose from!!

This is my very first devlog charting the progress of the game we're working on. More to come! I livestream development Tuesdays and Thursday on twitch.tv/laylacodesit 2pm GMT Come hang out! #indiedev #unitygamedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegames

Is there a Bluesky app on android where I can be logged into two accounts?

The very first November North devlog is now live! #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame youtu.be/rgEY19qVyJ4
