Our next game jam is happening this weekend! The goal is to recreate a classic game and put your own little spin on it. Tetris with triangles? Roguelike Space Invaders? Pac-Man as the ghosts? Your choice! Starts 8/20, $600 prize pool. Join now: itch.io/jam/remix-ja... #indiedev #gamejam #gamedev

So hyped on this lil guy

Mesh2Motion (@scottpetrovic.bsky.social) is an open-source alternative to Mixamo that allows you to rig humanoid and four-legged characters! mesh2motion.org

I'm gonna need to write up one of those "context engineering" blogs pretty soon. We're learning a lot and making big changes to how Bezi works. Lots going on under the hood in this update and a whole lot more to come!

Our weekend Platformer Jam was a blast! Check out the winners below. It was amazing seeing devs use Bezi to get the technical parts done in minutes, then spend the rest of the jam on art and designing levels. This is what smarter tooling is all about. Congrats all! #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

AI is really starting to change game development. And @bezi.com is the driving force behind it. This past weekend, we saw game developers build a platformer game in just 72 hours using Bezi, our AI assistant for game development. The results, showcased in the video below, were incredible!!

We gave artists and developers one week & a development tool for Unity to build a rhythm game. The result was an awesome collection of unique projects. Bezi uses AI to help with your game's code so you can focus on making art and fun mechanics. Check out our Top 10: #gamejam #indiedev #gamedev

How Games are Made: Sound Design This is the first in a new series that dives into specific areas of game design. This first episode is about SOUND, covering everything from recording foley, to assigning priority, how the engine and CPU deal with sound and more. youtu.be/lbOghip5CPI

Excited to get this out! If you're using Cursor or Copilot for Unity game dev, don't sleep on this. Agent mode is the the real deal. It makes a huge difference when building out MonoBehaviours. The agent can look through your scene to figure out how components work together.

My former employer continues to shoot themselves in the foot. Just absolute incompetence of leadership over there. My only hope for the longevity of Firefox is the Zen Browser team which continues to produce an incredibly polished fork of the browser. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fut...

We hosted a game jam to see what game developers could make with Bezi over one weekend! The theme was to make an endless runner game, and we saw 42 amazing games built over a couple days from super talented developers and artists. Check out the top 10 games below 👇 #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev

Bezi is now publicly available. A development tool designed specifically for game engines, Bezi uses real-time context of your project - codebase, assets, scene graph - to provide tailored assistance. #gamedev #unity #indiedev

Our last meetup during GDC filled up pretty quickly! If you’re doing game dev in the bay you should come and hang out!

lol great. Because I didn’t keep my Twitter account and actually deleted it, there’s now a ICO for @mozilla.org Hubs coin. Things are going great on Twitter 😂

back to unity this week to extend movement and start on some systems - specifically, added a jump with varying force, a crouch, and a preliminary 🥷stealth detection🥷 (feels like bakers would frown upon bread literally running off shelves, right?). #gamedev #devlog #art #WIP

voilà, the results of maya therapy - spent the weekend studying, eating, and modeling/texturing some loaves in Maya and Procreate! imagine these as responsive side characters, like a baguette that waves hello, or a smiley sourdough. dream or nightmare? #gamedev #devlog #art #WIP

this week i focused on cams, WASD motion, + some rolling - and found myself in the depths of ✨behavior debugging✨ anyone relate to the feeling of this should work, AND YET? the relief of finally squashing that bug? hey, it works! Maya therapy time! 😮‍💨 #gamedev #devlog #art #WIP

some work from yesterday! started on a minigame inspired by 'the bread' by gulu animation: ✨model, texture, + rig ✨basic animation + blendshapes (how does bread emote???) ✨movement tests - wasd vs. mouse + custom anim vs. mouse + procedural anim so begins 🍞bread roll🍞! #gamedev #devlog #art #wip

Come hang out with us at GDC - we're hosting a happy hour for indie devs on March 18! Learn from a panel of indie veterans talking about the ins and outs of shipping a game and join us for an evening of food, drinks, and networking. Spots are limited! RSVP here: lu.ma/v6eltoew

Hey, Bezi joined Bluesky hell ya 👋

Watching the OpenAI Search livestream from this morning. Uhhh, Gracias Madre is permanently closed... How do they keep dropping the ball in these demos? Do you even test your searches beforehand? sf.eater.com/2023/8/29/23...

Pretty long earthquake

Two years ago, 200+ of us collaborated to build elk.zone. Would you be interested in an Elky Nuxt PWA Client for Bluesky? Elk has markdown code blocks. Do you enjoy tinkering with @vite.dev, @vuejs.org, @nuxt.com, @vueuse.org, @unocss.dev, @shiki.style, the @bsky.app API? Would you like to help us?

My Twitter archive just finished and I'm finally deactivated! End of an era but happy to be here! A bit of an intro for all my new followers: Hi I'm Robert! I worked on a bunch of social VR things, made an award winning puzzle game for Apple Vision Pro, and now I do game tooling for non-VR stuff!

We made a starter pack with all the guests on devtools.fm 🎉 > Note: If we missed you DM us!

Death Grips

Aghhhh!!!! Blackbox for Vision just won the Apple Design Award for Spatial Computing!!! 🤯 Seriously can't comprehend it! This team is amazing and I'm so proud of what we've built! @warpling.bsky.social thanks for bringing me along for the ride! developer.apple.com/design/awards/

Blackbox is out on Apple Vision Pro! Really proud of all the little details we put into this game. The sound design was incredibly fun to implement. Every puzzle is an instrument that you control with your body or not so obvious features of the AVP ◼️ youtu.be/5LShA47LhIc

A little teaser of what @warpling.bsky.social and I have been working on. Can’t wait for you to see it Feb 2nd developer.apple.com/news/?id=gve...

Since I've left my job I've been working on something for the Vision Pro 🙃 However, @warpling.bsky.social and I still found some time to make a fun little app called Newji! Create stickers of anything directly inside iMessage! Make something fun and weird! apps.apple.com/us/app/newji...

*resists urge to put apple in altar in order to receive Korok seed*

Feels good to finally get this out the door! I'm really excited to hear what people think about Web Scene Graph (WebSG) which is our proposal for making portable and programmable virtual worlds. At a time like this it seems really important for building resilient virtual communities.

ngl I was pretty skeptical about this site before I joined, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised every day I’ve logged on. I’ve got a lot going on and don’t have many updates to post right now, but I’m enjoying lurking
