If you ever bought, or may buy, one of my #gameBoy games every cent of it is putting my daughter through Game Design at University.❣️ #indieDev

Time for a #screenshotSaturday WOLF🐺update. WOLF is a Raycasting FPS for #gameboy Here's some gameplay from the latest build👀 #indieDev #GBDK2020 #retrogaming #gbstudio

We've had a chance to play an early build and it's top-tier cat 'n mouse action. Follow us over on itch.io for updates... thalamusdigital.itch.io

1993: Commodore Format magazine reports that Sony is entering the video games market. Can’t see it working out.

Back home and looking over the last few treasured days. They say it's the people that make a Camino but it's the bizarre way we randomly come together. One day a nod on the path, next a chat, next you're together in a hostel, then your group is having a big meal together on the final night. Magic.

All set up at @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social! Come find us at Unit 8, Copeland Park, London this weekend!

Small team. Big dungeon. Countless pixels. We've poured our hearts into making Roguecraft DX the game our Amiga original always wanted to be. The demo is live on Steam and every single wishlist hits like a critical ❤️ #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart

Meanwhile … 4 hours of dev on WOLF tonight and I’ve increased the lowest fps by 1 \o/ (I’m actually quite happy with this) #indiedev #gameboy #GBDK2020 #retrogaming

Here’s the part we all want to know which is behind the paywall. You’re welcome.

some day soon, the execs are going to realize that they need us to make games I just wish the cost of that lesson wasn't so high

Two days of walking left. 25km tomorrow and 20km finale to the cathedral. Everyone is buzzing with excitement. It’s so close now…

The games don’t get made without us, never forget that.

Even now there's misinformation floating around, so let me make this clear: Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs, or 20% of the organization. 1,600 jobs will be eliminated today, and then another 1,600 (including the studio divestments) in the next 12 months. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I suppose that it's that time of the month again where I need to say I'm looking for contract work again. My full portfolio is at thatartisan.carrd.co I'm also opening commissions for static sprites. DM me on Bluesky or email me if you'd like to get in touch.

Tyler Rotheram walked up to a games studio as a teenager and asked to come in and help. That approach has basically worked for his whole career! Dev to Dev S02 E19 is live now on all good podcast platforms & Patreon

Classic post from @hollyqueenofspayeds.com popping up in the memories today:

We’re told moderation is key, but that’s a convenient lie designed to keep industries thriving at the expense of our health and countless lives.

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

fun fact: they found the original digital master tapes of all the Reboot episodes that we previously only had in VHS quality, refurbished the extremely rare and expensive tape machines required to play the masters, and are currently uploading them to youtube for free in 1080p! youtu.be/inKdUICLmXY

What sold Louis Bayard on the Design school Rubika wasn't the building. It was the room — not thirty designers but a hundred, all there to learn from! Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #devtodevpodcast #gamedesign #careertips #gameindustry #leveldesign #podcastclip #Rubika

Over 100 backers on the Kickstarter for our game Neon Shifter. Woo! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wee...

Dear sound effect and music asset creators; Please stop using generative AI for your thumbnails. You're putting a giant label on your work that gives the impression it's low effort slop, even when the actual content might be excellent stuff!

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

What? A kickstarter for a game with Savlonic, nods to other Weebl characters, and chaotic driving fun? YES! But only if we make our goal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wee...

Louis Bayard calls it a flaw — he leaps into challenges before thinking them through. Once you're in, you can't stop yourself trying. Find Dev to Dev here: linktr.ee/DevToDev . . . . #careertips #gameindustry #impostersyndrome #gamedesign #podcastclip

Our dear friend Mr. Weebl just launched a Kickstarter for Neon Shifter, an arcade racer infused with roguelike elements and fueled by music, mayhem, and momentum. Get it backed! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wee...

Roguecraft DX - a turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler with big nostalgic energy. It has a Chicken Run mode where you play as a chicken with 2HP. GOTY on that alone 🐔 store.steampowered.com/app/3674680/...

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

About half of the #Lumo 40 Zone 9 rooms are built now. The main room is complex with six entrances and conditional platforms on the rooms leading to it. I'll need four versions of it to handle the disappearing walls too, so I wanted to get it in first! #Amiga #RetroDev
