The minute by minute battle between people uploading the video and companies taking it down is a real early internet idealism information wants to be free cyberpunk situation

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at @dogubomb.bsky.social. It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

The AI industry has inflated the U.S. stock market and the economy. What happens when that bubble bursts?

NO WAR WITH VENEZUELA

around 40 game developers affiliated with @videogameworkers.bsky.social have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

this is not haiku even if you say it is i wrote it. it's not

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

What a game.

Found genuine joy in my writing today. It's been a long while and I don't know why today of all days, with all the incredibly depressing stuff going on. But I'll take it.

this may be a cold take btw but i dont think we paid ENOUGH attention to the Pivot To Video, the point of which i think is clear in retrospect WAS to utterly annihilate an extant and flourishing media ecosystem and replace it with something much easier to push low-trust audience fractionation with

well all right, I have been looking for one of these for a while now

Can we please bring videogame demos back? Reviews are nice to get a taste of a game especially when it’s a reviewer you trust, but it’ll never be the same thing as trying out & playing the game for yourself. Games are so expensive & I know people have to make hard choices.

Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason

44. Adios Short narrative focused game where you play a pig farmer who disposes of bodies for the mob, who decides he doesn't wanna do that any more. I compared this to a Coen Brothers film at the time I played it, and I stand that, it's very well written. store.steampowered.com/app/1271400/...

This is your periodic reminder that I have the world’s longest ongoing list of accessibility tools for developers and I want more Thank you carry on. Let me know if links die. assisted.site/accessibility

We, @limitbreak.co.uk won tonight. This was my acceptance speech. This is my message to the games industry. Thank you all 💖

I really hope Bluesky, both for what it is and isn't, has shown that there will always be a market for services that are just a throwback version of something that already exists, but in a state before it was irrevocably enshittified. Enshittification won't stop. So that market will continue to grow

People are NOT understanding the gravity of what's going down right now. Normalcy bias is a hell of a drug.

Let's show and tell your favourite underdog games! Below 500 Steam user-reviews. 100, even better! Link it and say why you love it! Copy Kitty is a dense, technical Treasure-inspired platform shooter with heart, and a fantastic NG+ mode that continues the story. It gets better the deeper you go.

I am finally happy to say that the Action Playground Test Demo for Cyanser: Lightspeed Superhero is now available for public interaction & feedback! SPEEDSTER GANG!!!! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #demo #sonic

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger. The gang:

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

I miss games that are about 8-20h long and have linear gameplay/stories. Not every game has to be open world and 60+h long😭 I'm so sick of it. If you don't have extensive worldbuilding to fill that world just tell your story in a (semi) linear way 🥲

HIhi #indiedev and #gamedev pals, if you're either brand new to Godot (or you're a Unity dev coming over after gestures broadly), I have a beginner tutorial that I think you'd like. It'll show you the basics and get you ready to make your own game: youtu.be/pdLEJHZJz9w?...

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...

I'm a 3d animator professionally, I've worked for nickelodeon, dreamworks and netflix If you are in #indiedev or #gamedev or anything like that and want some professional cutscenes or in-game animation for your game, I'd love to contribute in exchange for you showing me how you implement it! hmu!

I am an app on your phone. You use me multiple times every day and have done so for years. At random intervals I will assume you are an evil imposter and make you do 25 minutes of tedious busywork to restore your account. You will never delete me.

There are only three types of game developers. I will not explain

Hi, Bluesky. Meet my game!

If you would like to play a short, beautiful, hand-animated platformer where comforting your dog is a gameplay mechanic, then may I recommend Neva. Also not 100% sure you’d call it a dog. Maybe a Wolfalope?

Canadian here. 70% of US imported lumber comes from Canada. 60% of US imported crude oil comes from Canada. 99% of US imported natural gas comes from Canada. Starting a trade war with us is moronic. Will we suffer? Yep! But I've never seen national unity and resolve like we have right now.

Showcase your game at the awards! It won’t cost you a penny. Our exhibition spaces are completely free… We bring the monitor and controllers, you bring the game and some artwork. We can even help with that last requirement. 21 February 2025 - Metronome, Nottingham, UK

Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.
