Idée de date : commander des pizzas et jouer à Earth Defense Force en split-screen toute la nuit. Mes DM sont ouverts.

Si entendre At0 dire que c'est l'histoire la plus incroyable qu'un jeu vidéo ait raconté vous laisse perplexe, déso de d'être ce forceur qui va dire : oui. J'ai chialé devant des jeux, trouvé d'autres ultra importants pour ce qu'ils racontent... mais Xenogears est le seul à m'avoir filé ce vertige.

Pour les artistes-auteurs du coin, je tiens à jour une feuille de calcul qui permet d'estimer vos cotisations et impôts, histoire de prévoir votre budget et savoir quoi déclarer (et dans quelle case). Je viens de la mettre à jour pour 2026 : docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hire Nico. She worked on our next game and made cool perfectly isometric pixel art environments for it. If you need refs, hit me up.

La quasi seule photo de moi de 2025. Donnez moi de la brioche.

Si je pouvais souhaiter un truc au jeu vidéo en 2026, ce serait qu'il arrête de courir après les injonctions du capitalisme et de vouloir absolument tout standardiser pour min-max ses profits/wishlists, et qu'il arrête de vouloir ressembler à tout prix au cinéma pour se sentir légitime comme medium.

I recently fell into a modular synth rabbit hole and found it fascinating because it's just logic and math. Watched a bunch of videos explaining the basics. Then installed VCV Rack. I've only managed to make random fart noises. Here goes my newly found specific interest.

I often think about it: Metaphor ReFantazio's Dragon Temple twist.

I can barely move so I’m living the couch life and recharged the custom GBA.

Me casser la cheville était sur mon bingo 2025 et je commencais à me dire que cet objectif était raté. Fort heureusement, c'est maintenant chose faite. ✅

Holiday classics number 1: done. Now to reinstall Deus Ex...

J'apprends via les réseaux que David "Gamecodeur" Mekersa nous a quitté. C'était un des très rares formateurs indé qui avait la passion de transmettre, et le faisait de manière honnête et transparente, sans vendre un faux mythe méritocratique à son audience ou du bullshit. Salut David, et merci. 👋

I didn't expect that reception. I thought I was just teasing a bit as we were wrapping a year of production. 🫣 This got us hyped! We've been in submarine mode for so long that we forgot to be enthusiast about our own game. 🤣 It's been really hard to not show anything. There's A LOT to catch up!

It's the end of the year… already! And we're cooking up something great: Pixelnest will go back in space in 2026! 🚀 Happy Holidays & take care! 💌 #teaser #gamedev #CosmoCargo

Expect me to spam the shit out of this game once it's public~public because there's A LOT to show and tell about it. Pretty big game at our scale, and I need to talk to you about this dev team!

💥💥💥LOOKING FOR A JOB💥💥💥 Hi everyone, after few bad news, I am now urgently in need of a job ! I can do: -Environment Art -Prop Art -Shader & Textures -VFX Both available for contract work and freelance !! Portfolio: clen.artstation.com thank you for your time ❤️

Hi! It might be the time to start removing the dust from this account, don't you think? Apparently we've been cooking for quite a few years.

Might post some teasing later today.

10 more lines of dialogue to integrate into a cutscene and I'll be done with the implementation of the entire main story of that next game. 🥵 Putting all the cutscenes back-to-back with no gameplay is basically a standard-length feature film. @cindyadb.bsky.social indeed did a kung-fu movie.

Après 5 ans sans y être allé, il planifie son retour.

Me, and half of my coworkers, have been laid off. I'm now looking for my next position as gameplay or tools programmer (remote, or relocating within Europe). More about me on my website: pauljoannon.com #gamejobs #gamedevjobs

J'ai dormi 13h d'affilée. Manifestement se faire tatouer 2x la même semaine que choper la crève de l'année, c'était pas le truc le plus opti' à faire. C'est pas ce dimanche que je vais faire avancer des side projects.

Je trouve ça cool qu'il y ait autant de tunes mis dans un nanard pour montrer que le cinéma ca n'a pas à toujours être un truc d'auteur pour être une proposition valable. (Même si en vrai on sait que Paramount cherche juste à reproduire la recette Mortal Kombat qui a marché pour Warner.)

Note that there's very marginally more successful games compared to the catalog growth (I would consider games under 100 reviews as largely unprofitable). Just a reminder that you're competing with the 95% to be in the 5% and that you should not de facto consider that you're there.

Very much looking forward to the new Frictional Games, Ontos. SOMA (and its web series) is a game that spoke to me on many levels. I'm all-in for existential dread shits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J6z...

Almost done, just the final stretch to do. There's some good, and some not that good in it. The one thing that the game does brilliantly is its (tech-)art direction. It's not a top-of-the-art engine at all, and yet it achieves excellent presentation with no temporal shitshow.

Dunno if I'd prefer WB Games to shutdown under Netflix, or be a softpower asset under Paramount.

I'm looking into opening up some parts of the tech I've been doing for a while (if you attended/watched one of my talk, you might see what I mean), but I've been hitting walls on one single peculiar problem: finding a name that sticks. Privately, I've always just called it "pizza" 🫣

Bonjour et bienvenue dans votre futur où acheter un PC coûte 5000 € mais vous pouvez demander à Copilot un bulletin météo imaginaire pour attaquer votre semaine avec la win attitude.

So far the vibe is "we have those different pieces from what worked during the long preproduction another team did, and now need to put them together with another team". Also, the fact that the game is dubbed only in english makes it feel like Nintendo didn't believe in it.

I fantasized Metroid Prime 4 so much over the years that I don’t expect anything of it anymore. Here we go.

If you've been wondering how our next game is progressing, the answer is "just about 20380 sprites integrated".

Vous avez sorti un jeu cool en 2025 et n'avez pas forcément de quoi le soumettre aux #Pégases2026 ? Cette industrie a besoin de plus de diversité, de personnes comme de contenus ! Je prends en charge vos frais d’inscription : pegases26 -at- monkeymoon -dot- net. (Exception : pas de contenu IA.)

We've got something to tell you: NEW GAME! Poke @arteinteractive.bsky.social <3 #indiegame #gamedev #arte

Je cherche toujours et c'est bientôt mon anniversaire donc si jamais votre studio / plateforme / éditeur a besoin de renfort, vous savez quoi faire <3

Les annotations dans nos spritesheets, c'est quelque chose.

The Next Game’s main quest is almost complete, a few cutscenes away from a playable from start to finish. About 120 individual maps done and connected into an open environment. 🫣 Still a lot of work, but starting to picture the game. And: full announcement next year. Eager to show the team’s work!

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago. Entitled "Look, I made you a little graph about Game Development" #gamedev #indiedev

I know people who have spent their entire career on an unreleased game, and some who worked on it, left to ship another game, came back, left again to ship another game, and came back again.

The weird story about this, is that all sources found are from after the game's release. The earliest source is from 2004 (a CNN broadcast), 6 years after the game's release. To this date, nobody knows how this sample got there (and Command & Conquer Renegade, from 2002, uses it too).

When it released, I asked my parents (who couldn't afford much) if they could buy it. I binged it in a couple of days, and they were mad at me for not making it last long enough... (Later I bought them a TV for all the moments they had allowed me to go down the video game rabbit hole.)

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Today is international men's day... ... but also World Toilet Day, which aims at raising awareness on the fact that 3.5 billion people live without sanitation or access to toilets. It is recognized by the UN, unlike the other event.
