i started to make a live coding environment for myself! its currently basically shadertoy but on my mac with compiled c for the audio. its not a particularly unique wheel, but it's *my* wheel, so I am mostly experimenting with the details to see what makes me feel productive & creative.

Anyway, if you want to read well developed fantasy with Queer and Neurodivergent rep, thoughtful world building about how non-human creatures would face and think about fantasy racism and ABSOLUTELY NO COPS, you should check out my Visual Novel, The Hayseed Knight bsky.app/profile/maxi...

The moment the first song started at the Ayreon gig we all rolled our eyes as we saw they were using (really bad) AI gen video for the backing visuals. Unfortunately the entire gig it was just shifty looking AI art completely overpowering what was happening on stage.

Big day, off to see AYREON today in Tilburg. Every few years we make the pilgrimage.

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

Big time shader jam right now. nudel.cc

i made a quick (silly) 'analog' scope www.shadertoy.com/view/wffBz8

will hopefully put this into a supercut but it feels worth sharing as its own thing too: laura + @boggo.bsky.social @ algorhythms (a one-shot) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lllq...

I still have more ideas for this scene, but here's my little #MadeInDreams tribute to Pharloom so far... 😉 #DreamsPS4 #DreamsPS5 #SilkSong @teamcherry.bsky.social

Some sketches of weird objects I made with the new loop/pivot features in Fluff.

Made this last night because I wanted to have an example I can point to whenever I see people have bad player ship/plane/vehicle/camera controllers that just 1:1 mirror game input and how much of a difference even a tiny amount of smoothing can make to game feel.

AlgoRhythms is happening this Wednesday! see you there lu.ma/openslots

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

A couple months ago I started learning webpgu and trying to make 'something', more or less from scratch. It's ultimately turned into this live codable signed distance field particle system VJ tool... not only have I learned so much but damn it's pretty fun to play with.

The fact that games are being made in this day and age that can look this fantastically crunchy and be recognized for their excellence (a big part of that excellence being the crunchiness) means a lot to me. Congrats!! 🎉

Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game! Watch @jfg.land's acceptance speech:

I'll die before I let AI take my trial version of Paint Shop Pro 7 that still functions after 20,313 days 😤😤

This would have gone so hard as an AIM away message in 1999

Hmm let's see... Doom 1/2 Minecraft Rimworld Night in the Woods Project Zomboid There are more but I'll never say no to playing/replaying these probably.

They're using up all the world's resources to try to make AGI as soon as possible meanwhile the AI is already declaring itself MechaHitler before it's even gotten off the ground, we're cooked.

Is it just me that has absolutely terrible 4G internet pretty much everywhere in the UK recently?

Heading to Brighton for Develop to be my usual loitering self hanging out at Loading Bar.

Let's play "pretend you're a game studio picking your next project", especially if you are not a dev! Reply to this with your guess for the Big Videogame Thing of mid-2027. What's the genre, the aesthetic, big technology? I set a 25 months calendar alert. Let's check back how close everyone gets?

There's a lot to study from Zohran Mamdani's electoral victory, but I'm particularly interested in its graphic design. Vivid, unexpected colors. A hand drawn feel that nods to the grassroots nature of the campaign, with nods to old NYC bodega signage, metro cards, and even old Bollywood posters.

Officially going to Develop in 2 weeks - and by going I mean chilling at the beach all week with a Pisco Elysium as usual.

Hey gamers, did you know that game developers share updates about their upcoming games on Saturdays using the hashtag #ScreenshotSaturday‽ Check out the Screenshot Saturday feed for the inside scoop on new indie games!

Been a while since I last did a #PitchYaGame - Mars Vice, a queer indie game - - First person adventure with VN dialogue - - Play as Dax, a bi-disaster of a trans lion man - - Bother all sorts of folks around the Martian city of Pavonis - - Out now & on sale! > s.team/a/1886910 < #furry #indiegame

Djunt djunt djont djent, riffing at Algorhythms again with trampbunny casting visuals that I wish were in the video.

So when people say "Things are fine at my work, I don't need to organize/unionize", they're missing the larger picture. We need an entire games industry that is unionized and willing to take coordinated action in order to push back against the constant pressure to do more work.
