I'm on year 5 of this game project now and I think the reason most solo projects fail are things like "make this convoy go in a straight line" and "find all the houses in the map". In isolation, simple! In context, death!

It's very simple, an RTS is a Fourth-Person game if you identify with your faction and Sixth-Person if you don't. If you're not very good at it then it's a Puzzler, if you are then it's an Action Adventure. An RPG is only an RPG if you're the Living in Oblivion guy, otherwise it's a hack and slash

A wild Disk Cleanup appears! This week I chatted with Hyperfixed creator/former Reply All co-host @agoldman.bsky.social. We talked about battling with Silksong, his love for The Binding of Isaac, multiplayer memories in Team Fortress 2, and much more! www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

If I had a pokemon gym it would be all level 9 pidgeys, relentlessly bred and EV trained to have the highest base speed possible. Their moveset? Sand Attack. Send your children into my gauntlet, they will not return

(i go down stairs holding a cup of coffee and spill it everywhere) ah fuck my amateurprioception

Top Tip: if you're making an inventory system, do it right the first time. Whatever shortcut you're thinking of taking, don't. Don't do it or I will come to your house

I hope alternate universe me who became a games writer is doing well

Sat down to do some fun explosions and robots game development, spent the last three hours refactoring the inventory system to use GUIDs

Locking my humidifier and dehumidifier in a room together to settle this once and for all

This code like lightning call me Pentium Franklin

Not to be Me about it but I've been playing Mechwarrior 3 and it's so fun that I've decided we're going back to da pentiums

Oh, hey, long time no see. Happy Pride, everybody.

People are always slipping into comas. I would backflip into one

time for HUDposting youtu.be/NTU2M_EI9mo

Show of hands: How many of you would play a game where you wander a very large dungeon as a very small gnome? That's it. That's the whole game.

As of today I am officially funemployed(tm). If you need anything programmed let me know, otherwise please enjoy this rotating transfemme mech for pride month

Okay #pitchyagame, take Steel Battalion, give it HOTAS and VR support with motion controls, set it in an alt-history Cold War and that's OVRLRD: store.steampowered.com/app/2163160/... #mecha #vrgames

"Good boy" - Ink and Copics

found this html5 version of sodaplay recently

need more excitement at breakfast time? unleash a beyblade into your morning bowl of porridge

Best bit of a new Ace Combat game is watching the trailers waiting for the big weird machine they've invented this time and then going bananas when you see it

here are some mech concepts that i think i have not posted before one done in Inkscape in 2D, and another similar but distinct design done in Blockbench 3D i think i prefer the slimmer design here, it came to me in a dream, where it turned and looked in through an upper-floor window at me

"this game is made in godot, you can tell by the pale color palette" what are you TALKING about

G-NOME (1997)

Hello here's a ridiculously massive feature about the nightmare development of Unreal 2. It's got twists. It's got turns. It's got possibly the craziest business deal in video game history. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/th...

Ray Smuckles is I think one of my favourite characters in anything

I heard my neighbour is recording a video pitch for a do-or-die grant application. Time to start hammering randomly on the walls!

CONFIRMED: i am stupid

If you're making a game that competes with mine, I hold my hand out to you in comradeship. Let us drink a toast to your success! It is impolite to refuse the toast. Drink it. No, no sniff. Drink.

kneading my brain trying to squeeze all the heatwave out of it. THINK. THINK YOU BASTARD

those were the days

Can anyone recommend a good localization studio who can translate from English into Australian

(First day at Bandai Namco) I think it's pretty messed up how none of the pilots are canonically asexual

we have to go back. its imperative

Paralives devs stealing search results from my boy by calling their characters 'paras'. I won't stand for this

it's called unreal engine 6 because when you see it you turn 6 degrees and walk away

I was creating some content for the real-time water simulation course in Unity, and I made this exercise. It's not finished yet, but it's taking shape. If you're interested in this topic, vote and subscribe to the project here 🔗 jettelly.com/idealabs #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Grenades never got better than in Halo 1. www.jank.cool/grenades-nev...

In terms of raw ability to aggravate me personally, I don't think any piece of software has ever beaten the quest OS. Not only is it completely broken in mystifying and frustrating ways, but it's attached to your god damn head the whole time

"too big to fail" is a conspiracy by big big to sell more fail

About to go in and download the report of "reasons people refunded your game" on Steam. Pray for me

Cornwall. Absolutely beautiful.

‪Getting laid off sucks obviously but the reviews for OVRLRD have been so nice lately! Feels like it's finally coming together store.steampowered.com/app/2163160/ except that nobhead from the other day ofc

I think it’s unfair that we use ‘magic beans’ as a shorthand for something that is a con, the beans genuinely *were* magic? They grew a giant beanstalk and indirectly led to riches for the buyer? I propose we instead change the idiom to ‘bored apes’
