I swear to the Old Gods, if I read the phrase “this is where the magic happens” one more time, I'm gonna start The Butlerian Jihad with my bare hands.

Made a tool generating JSON with all dialogues in “Wright Files: Egertonʼs Pickle”. Right now itʼs about 4000 words (not counting interaction texts, just dialogues for characters and cutscenes). Itʼs about 1/3 of all required text... ☠️ #gamedev #indiedev

A very productive, although quite exhausting, weekend full of work on “Wright Files: Egertonʼs Pickle”. Tons and tons of text written for various interactive objects. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #mystery #adventure

@kebabskal.bsky.social hi, I've come across your Robes postmortem on 80.lvl and there's one fragment that caught my eye... 80.lv/articles/pos...

The Min-Max Probability Paradox: Thereʼs a near-zero chance of human extinction as a result of an unforeseen cosmic cataclysm during our lifetime, but if that happens, itʼs almost certain that the apocalypse will find that one unlucky bastard with a jar up his bum.

Yesterday I managed to release a new tool for Unity (making a trailer is always the hurdle). Thoughts? youtu.be/UJH5nK1Koac?... #unity3d #gamedev

Important feature no player will actually notice in “Wright Files: Egertonʼs Pickle”: Eugene and Charles can approach each other for a cutscene dialogue no matter which room they meet in (btw., not shown here but staircase was a real PITA). #gamedev #indiedev

I came across a cover of a computer magazine from 1985. At the bottom thereʼs a title that roughly translates to: “Calculators – help or encouragement to laziness?” Replace “calculator” with “AI” and it turns out 40 yrs later we discuss the same problems, only technology differs.

I love making logos for games! I always try to design logos that are simple but cartoony, shiny and fun! Sometimes they're a bit scrappy and made in a rush (for a game jam for example)! I've made so many in the past MANY YEARS in games, from board games to mobile games! #gamedev

The biggest question is: if you replace all your junior devs with AI and make your senior devs spend all their time reviewing AI-generated slop then who will you replace your senior devs with once they become literally senior enough to start dying out? www.finalroundai.com/blog/aws-ceo...

A quick behind-the-scenes peek while I prepare the “Wright Files: Egerton's Pickle” demo. In the video you can see a system that selects the optimal position for two characters approaching each other for conversation during a cutscene. [1/2] #gamedev #indiedev

Video game spend among 18 to 24's is down sharply. "Young grads are having a much tougher time finding jobs. Student-loan payments are restarting for millions of borrowers... credit-card delinquency rates have risen to their highest points since before the pandemic..." www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

201 - Waist-High Shelf In every house and every workplace there is a daily "traffic" of the objects which are handled most. Unless such things are immediately at hand, the flow of life is awkward, full of mistakes; things are forgotten, misplaced.

Share art lore about yourself. My first dabbing at 3D modeling was in high school when I created high-poly Karl Gerät in 3D Studio MAX 1.0 to get A+ in CS class. Then dropped 3D modeling for 30 yrs. Two yrs ago I retried, this time being wiser and doing low-poly Aston Martin DB5 in @blockbench.net.

Oh hey, it's also #screenshotsaturday! Finally I have something to show exactly on Saturday. Because videos count as screenshots, right? RIGHT?

The characters in “Wright Files: Egertonʼs Pickle” are finally becoming alive. Not a permanent state in a whodunit murder story. 🕵️‍♂️ #indiegames #detective #mystery #game #gamedev #indiedev

It just struck me that in a couple of years we will have 60-70 yo folks who one day may be like: “hey, how about I learn making #Quake 1 maps...” And why wouldn’t they! And that later in my life I might be one of those guys. We live in fun times.

If I watched only the first half of “Tenet”, does it mean that Iʼve actually watched the whole movie?

Hey, #gamedev folks using #Blockbench – is there any way to apply vertex colors inside @blockbench.net and then export it in, say, FBX format? I'm not refering to painting on the texture, just applying the color as a property of each vertex (like UV coordinate).

Solo indie #gamedev sounds really cool until you find out it's 90% of the time deceiving yourself that your game is 90% complete. And that completion of the last 10% takes another 90% of the time. And another 90% is hidden in the last 1%. #indiedev

Back in 2018, I was working on an RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series. I don't think I'll end up finishing this game, but I figured I could share the demo that I had put together anyway. #gamedev Blog post and demo here! 🔽 adamgryu.itch.io/paper-game/d...

#Gaurodan is out! The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system. Music by @gryzor87.bsky.social ♫ Info and downloads at locomalito.com

Describe your game like a bad marketing intern: It's like Paper Mario but without any RPG, platforming or turn-based strategy elements whatsoever. You just walk around, search/analyze objects and items and talk to people trying to find out whodunit. Or didn't. #retro #indiegame

Question to all #gamedev / #vfx folks out there: do you know if itʼs possible to create a custom camera projection matrix that would result in a hybrid of perspective/isometric camera similar to ones often seen in #retro #adventure games?
