Hey all! I'm excited to announce a new iteration on our beloved weekend bootcamp coming up September 20th & 21st where we modified the curriculum to focus on *indie studio founding*, specifically, identifying then building a viable prototype: www.eventbrite.com/e/build-a-vi... #gamedev #indiedev

In dark days and uncertain times I believe that the only rational choice is optimism. ✨ I've spent years wondering whether optimism is a good thing. It clearly has a lot of advantages. It is a strong uniting force and it keeps morale high and resilience strong. #gamedev #indiedev #optimism

I got curious about the state of games and compiled the following charts based on Newzoo data and it actually has me a little more optimistic about the game industry than I expected ✨ #gamingindustry #gameindustry #optimism #pma #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopers #gamedevelopment #gaming #gamers

This Sunday I felt like sharing something personal. Something truly dear to my heart, and difficult to open up about... and that is... my top 5 favorite games of all time. Here they are. You'd better be nice about them 😜 🎮 ✨ #gaming #gamers #gameplayers #favorites #games #indiegames #gamedev

Tonight I want to shout out a coworker, good friend and hardworking indie studio founder, Kristi Eckert. 📖 ✨ Kristi is one of my favorite stories of an indie dev who pursues their dreams and doesn't take no for an answer. #gamedev #communityspotlight #gamedevelopment #gamingindustry

My partner is a musician and just dropped a Music x Games collab I thought y'all would think is neat. Unreal Engine has this technique called a volume wall where a background is projected behind the actors in real time using the game engine to render it. #gamedev #unrealengine #volumewall #vfx

So somehow I got on some GOP list that occasionally texts me bullshit and here's the latest. Wtf... Does this work on people? How do conservatives think this is alright!? #politics #liberal #conservative #spam

What it's like going on a research trip in the video game industry. Who'd I miss? 😂 #gamedevelopment #gamedevelopers #gamedev #indiedev #juniordev #developers #gaming #gamingindustry #gamers #unitydeveloper #unrealdeveloper #godot

Anyone else feel like the majority of their games have been cancelled? 💔 #gamedevproblems #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #gamingindustry #gaming #gamers

Did you know there are actually 6 major milestones of any video game, not just three? ✨ Most game studios have their own milestones that their projects will follow, but many share at least a few. The three most common are Alpha, Beta and Launch. But there are actually 6! #gamedevelopment #gamedev

Dreams are good, but they can change. What's your dream, friend? 🏰✨ #dreamer #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #juniordev #gamingindustry #castles

I believe the game industry's current woes are a direct result of over emphasis on profit, and an underemphasis on why we existed in the first place: joy. And I believe Indies are the people who will save it. ✨ #gamedevelopment #gamingindustry #indie #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #juniordev

As we all get ready for a new week of work, I'd like to remind everyone of the power of *persistence*.

In 2024 we saw 600% more indie studios founded than in 2019.To help all you noble game dev adventurers, I've compiled Version 1.2 of my "How to Start an Indie Studio" quick start guide! ▶️ HD PDF with 25+ links: drive.google.com/file/d/1Slnp... #gamedev #indiedev #juniordev #founders

Opinion: We are damaging the future of the game industry by not hiring juniors right this second ☹️ Let's face it, we've been in a long standing (going on 5 years now) downturn in games. Every year we all collectively agree "it's definitely going to get better" and every year it gets worse. #gamedev

My god conservatives piss me off. Trump has issued a total of 144 friggen pardons, and Biden issues one and they won't stfu about it #ShutUp #Liberals #Liberalism #Leftism

After watching the US political system I have decided that *we need all of y'all to fix it.* It is clearly powerful individuals that actually change things. So please, for us, become epic AF and then make this world better. You’re our only hope #HelpUsObiWan #motivation #activism #gamedev #indiedev
