Most important takeaway here, there is precedent now! Subway, America’s most important pre-protest sandwich shop.

Was super-frustrated yesterday and this morning, but took a long walk with the dog this morning and I’m not only free of those thoughts, but also managed to crack the loop for the combat system in my game. So, PSA to get out, touch grass, let your mind wander, recharge and restore. 🧘🪷

Downloaded this earlier and looking forward to getting some time in-game soon. store.steampowered.com/news/app/113... Looks amazing, and so many changes, updates, and clever enhancements. Great stuff @falconeerdev.bsky.social!

I _loooooove_ the art, the mechanics, and just about everything about this game. Can’t wait to play it turnbasedlovers.com/news/soulsli... youtu.be/r2Wtf0_herA

Kinda wild to me (though I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised) that analysts like the one in this piece are still pushing centrism and labeling Mamdani’s win as an outlier because x, y, or z. I, like many, am seeking actual action, new strategies, and social change. one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5597...

Woo, that’s a trifecta! Well done east coast folks!! Take a victory lap tonight and tomorrow, then get some rest because we all know there’s a long road ahead still, but together we can make these days more frequent.

Was (re)looking at @deswalsh.bsky.social's portfolio again today (after the Kinect posts) and gotta say, this is still my favorite piece. Why? Start the interactive viewer and you get a whole little Point-and-click-ish minigame. (cont ...) www.artstation.com/artwork/bO5Zo

I ended up photogrammetry-izing that rotted out tree stump I want to use as one of two main cities in my game. The tool did an amazing job, but now I'm smoothing out the lumpy bits and making it serviceable as a mesh to host all the buildings and other details. #IndieDev #SoloDev

Also, the opportunity to vote for women and PoC up and down the ballot is something I highly value. Not everyone has candidates that they can identify with and that will represent them and their needs, and it is a privilege to be able to be a small part of changing that.

Being able to vote for someone with visible ink in my confused, left-leaning yet fiscally conservative city is a real pleasure.

And there's a whole list of other locations for other areas/DLCs if one wanted en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Has anyone ever made a game explicitly set at the Giant's Causeway? The movement grid is already solved for you!

🎨 #LookingBackontheSoloExhibition 🎨 First is the area we call the “Greeting Wall” at the front. This time, Halloween fell in the middle, so bats flew on the wall for just two days. Pick up your magnifying glass here, and your tour of the original artwork begins.

Our weekly recap episode 4: Big progress this week. Things are really starting to take shape! #gamedev #indiedev #progress #devlog

Deeply unexpected that one of the best exhibits of extraterrestrial gems and minerals is in the terminal of the Portland, Maine airport??

Hi everyone, this post is to announce that the demo will be available until Monday, November 10th, and it's time to focus on the final version of the game for its release. Read more store.steampowered.com/app/4033160/... And for now, I want to share a new feature that allow you to Lock Items:

Finishing up some sculpting for the day. Some wall sections for a kit for my environment project. Got a few more sections to sculpt tomorrow.

Added in some random variation on color, both range of greyscale and sampling from a palette. Also getting shapes to be more like various reference images, and exposing the variables for both of the above in the .sbsar.

Why are so many people buying Bene Gesserit pain boxes?

What a cool bit of shader magic 🪄

Found these for a friend’s gathering tonight. Really, really hoping they live up to the legend on the packaging.

I guess it's "fun with learning texture solutions" day over here. Trying to get better at making rocks, in this case for something along the lines of a highlands croft. Biggest graph I've made to date in Substance! I do see room for making functions, so that should knock 25% out of the main graph.

Truer words were never spoken!

Environment update ^^ #indiedev #gamedev #JRPG #indiegame

This was a great follow up, and sorry I didn't include it originally. This walk-through was priceless for me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sny8...

Messing about with my first trim-sheet-as-wall. Scale and everything is all wonky, and it has nothing to do with the genre of my game, but just to get the workflow learned. Really makes me want to model my headcanon vision of Murderbot ships and things though. (Also the Ancilliary books!)

I’ve been quietly working on a new game and you can now play the free demo on itch.io! It’s called Open Land, a relaxing building/idle game about turning barren ground into a thriving ecosystem. 🌱 bit.ly/ol-itch-io #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Very much thinking about making a lamp from one of these circles. youtu.be/Dgmzfwl0JcY

Why am I in this game?!?

A forum thread as old as time ... Artist: I'm a student, no income, what are some free alternatives for XYZ program? Most folks: Here's some great alternatives! That one gatekeeper: I don't read. You should buy the overpriced thing. Free things are trash anyway.

For anyone who uses #B3D, there is a 23% off sale over at Superhive on seemingly everything. One day only though, for 23 years of Blender. superhivemarket.com/products?on_... I picked up the BoxCutter + HardOps bundle, something I never knew I needed until recently. #Blender #IndieDev #SoloDev

I love everything about this, but especially the very real feeling of tactility you get from the squishiness of the leather/fabric portions of this. Those buttons squinching it are just perfect!

Drawing shrubs for my game (it's really satisfying) #gameart #indiedev

My yearly PSA for those new to the PNW: These are the coconuts of our area. If you see one ore more on the ground, give that tree a wide berth or you will definitely be concussed by one. (Side note: they have a really lovely design.)

In general, I love The Guardian. Been a supporter for at least a decade. But wow, are they going hard on shilling for Apple the last couple of weeks …

I've had my first, unconditional nice reply on a new and unfamiliar discord server in, checks notes, ever. Turns out, there are in fact people out there who appreciate it when you provide clear, concise, and helpful community information.

Sample materials for a test, and still have exposure compensation to deal with, but I _finally_ have an smooth, replicable pipeline from Blender to Unreal going. Starting to feel production coming together! 🤞

Oh ffs … not existentially depressing at all.

Melted my ( @devierue.bsky.social ) brain making my very first isometric map for our beloved Patrons Folks who support us in October will get their very own copy of The October Country -- screen printed on fabric and mailed to their door! Want one? Join before the end of the month... #TTRPG

For whatever reason, had a strong nostalgic flashback about Sewer Shark earlier today. It was full of both the best and worst parts of the late 80s/early 90s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpCk... Anyone else have this goofy FMV game trapped in their heads?

Absolutely fell in love with the Fitness VM concept by Krzymsky and have picking away at this piece for the last month or so!

This is really great. Give it a listen!!

Too serious for Friday #GameDev Q: How feasible is it to layout and model a town/city on a smaller export chunk of an open world terrain, then place that town/city onto the full open world map as "final" (minus nudging tweaks, landscape cleanup, etc)? Is this how bigger studios do it?
