Friday afternoon I posted my first YouTube vid, about why mid tier games are becoming difficult to get funded or be discoverable. I was hoping for 50 views but surprisingly it somehow hit over 5000 views with 140 positive comments. Happy to welcome more feedback/discussion: ▶️ youtu.be/REZiMNDy0l8

Was really interesting to look this up online, I did not know it existed! Thanks!

lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal

Since the Oscars are tomorrow, animation fans shouldn't just be looking at the Best Animated Feature category and call it a day. We should also be caught up with seeing all the nominees for Best Animated Short. Luckily, they're uploaded on YouTube, and this thread will guide you to all of them.

“The concept of Donkey Kong Bananza is…destruction.” “Destruction.” “Destruction.” “Destruction.” Donkey Kong Bananza talk is off to a fantastic start

I would like to remind people that when Nintendo made a brand new web based Star Fox 2 manual for the SNES Mini, it also included actual old design document scans for the game and I think it's pretty rad: www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals...

Really awesome, such cool devices. Thanks!

Stacking's 15 anniversary sharing continues! Today I'm sharing the Game Design Document I wrote for that game, all those years ago, which was part of our pre-production deliverables. You can download the PDF here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8jk0e...

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Hope you can figure something out!

Ah, awesome! Really cool you found these documents and files, thanks! ☺️

@chibigstudio.bsky.social that looks interesting! A bit like Zelda, but still different. Good luck with the kickstarter!

In the Risk Assessment docs where Monolith goes over risks and offers solutions, they discuss steps to distinguish themselves from Arkham Asylum and its in-development sequel. They held monthly calls with Arkham people to avoid collisions, even pivoting away from maps planned for Apollo.

My Discord account was compromised over the New Year - if you've ever heard of the good old "just try my game" attack, well, I fell for it. For more information, see my writeup on the matter: jethachan.net/security/202...

friends! acquaintances! help! i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks. know someone who's a good fit? pls forward this, ty! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/...

If anyone is interested in learning basic programming or python, I HIGHLY recommend this. Granted, I didn’t take the course, but I followed the book on my own and it is an OUTSTANDING way to learn some python skills to do what the title says: Automate the Boring Stuff! 😎👍🏼

New year, time for the quarterly update of my #gamedev resource at www.startmakinggames.com This is a completely FREE resource, aimed at folks wanting to make games for the very first time. So if you know folks whose New Year resolution was 'I want to start making games' this is the link for them!

Hay 3d artists Thomas is very much someone you should give a follow to ⬇️⬇️

So im gonna need all of you who want to support my sweeper dreams to follow this. Teaser coming soon!!

@bencloward.bsky.social thanks for the awesome shader and other gamedev tutorials on your YouTube channel ( youtube.com/bencloward ) Hope you are doing good yourself!

When a platform starts treating your art like an AI training dataset — that’s a sign 😌 So I’m giving Bluesky a try. Let’s get to know each other again: Tasha, concept artist & storyteller 💜 #PostTwitter

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one! More ... 👇

Finished reading the book "Attack of the black squares" from @as-king.bsky.social . It's really good, and gave me food for thought. The book is especially relevant in the time we live in now.

Introducing my next documentary project. This is my concept, and my synopsis has had really upbeat feedback from the LucasArts and adventure community people I've shown it to. We'll have more to share in January, but for now please follow @scummdoc.bsky.social and sign up to the waitlist.

Last bit of The Banished Vault posting: I wrote fifteen design diaries during and after development! Everything from simulation, complexity, dice, art design, teaching, art, and more. People have told me they found them interesting and helpful! Find them all here: lunardivision.net/the-banished...

@leepetty.bsky.social Thanks! I love the fact that you keep sharing these game design documents!

I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite. I won't judge you for still using Spotify, just try this rad alternative. I'm listening to music from Dar es Salaam. Where will you listen to? radio.garden/listen/furah...

Thanks! @ everybody take a look, it's a great course! I already took it, and learned a bunch.

I'm working on a Sci-Fi game where the plot is related to space and interstellar objects and our solar system. But today, for the first time, I decided to read and watch details about the comet 3I/ATLAS's. Thank you NASA science.nasa.gov/solar-system...

Zork I, II, and III are now open source. Microsoft has released the classic Infocom text adventures under the MIT license! opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11...

This is VERY cool, and clever. An interactive atlas of the Solar System. #Space

Wow, this looks really cool! He does seem to have an account here: @jordilafebre.bsky.social

This looks awesome @deswalsh.bsky.social , keep it up!

Arc System Works have collated all their presentations (in Japanese) on achieving their unique character style including skinning, rigging and rendering on this central “Academy” page.

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL - Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers. You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

You may have noticed that I did not upload pika photos from my last trip to Rainier. I want to assure you, my dedicated public, that this was not because I didn't take pika photos. I remain committed to documenting North America's roundest boi.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Lost for 40+ years, we're extremely happy to announce that Stairway to the Stars (#Commodore #VIC20) - 3rd game in Mike Taylor's Magic Mirror series has finally been saved. This is thanks to phenomenal work of Tommi Lempinen & Tom Roger Skauen for #GTW www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/08/40-y...

Indie devs I am begging you to use readable fonts anywhere a font is present anywhere in your game. Completely understand desire to use a font that feels appropriately stylised for art direction, but some fonts genuinely hurt your players ability to play your game from accessibility perspective

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️ Artists create universes from nothing. Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Any environment artists available to do some freelance work for @veelpoot.com? Need some fantasy buildings made for our upcoming Skyrim mod! Paid opportunity, of course!

I'm a sucker for fighting game design documents and really enjoyed this one for the UI design of X-Men: Children of the Atom with comic art pasted in as a representative battle.

My 3 main art series: SummerWaves, TΞMPLUM, and Cold Hours. Different vibes, different times. Which one's your favorite?

Someone has just posted a scan of The Making of Landstalker, a book packed with information, development photos and design documents about the game. archive.org/details/the-...
