The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

I need to get a pinned post together oh god!!!!!

They did an amazing job with the character art too (building off of @christapaolucci.com's early work!) But I really appreciate them as someone who I'm able to bounce ideas/designs/techniques off of and who is really smart and thoughtful about the work they do. Thats all, Naud is the best lol.

I'm making a @naud.bsky.social appreciation post, Naud has been a great friend and an amazing collaborator to work with, they did so much crazy stuff for Drywall including redoing the key art!

My whole team and I were laid off today! On the bright side, I finally have some time to update my design portfolio. Keep an eye out 🫡

i bought more expensive dish detergent and the dishes came out way cleaner and shinier 😭😭😭😡😡💢🤮😭

adobe is evil but at least their products are also bad

i gave up on gdscript for this project after 1 day bc im not mentally ill enough to use a dynamically typed language

im actually going to remake the entire particle emission system so that the particles are accessible outside the gpu :) all of them will have physics. it will not be performant. i do not care

High refresh rates are a scourge. You're at 60fps, having a great time. You see a 120hz screen, now you're ruined on 60. You glimpse 165, now 120 is trash. Some guy tries to show you 240, you shut your eyes, you don't open them til he's dead. You've killed a man now and for what

Every time I make particle effects I step on the exact same rakes. When will I learn

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Figured I'd share a bit of steam review insight on the horse game server inspired by this 🫡

Leaving the ONLY home I've EVER known...

Happy two year anniversary to the ultimate videogame launch announcement, the likes of which hasn’t been topped just yet

Another IGF nom that cannot be ignored, imo

I've overhauled my puzzle level generation so a level is now "grown" like cell tissue in a triangle tessellation. New elements can be inserted anywhere, and the whole level deforms to make room. This makes it easier to control topology and create paths that loops around areas. #ProcGen #GameDev

The new preface to this great and depressing scholarly book gets into the explosion of sports betting and “prediction markets” since 2012’s 1st edition, plus well-meaning games-for-change types trying to harness dark patterns for good. Everyone within 30 feet of gamedev should read it.

you should all play more indie games made by 1 to 4 gay people in their bedrooms

looked at the very first GOTY nominee list and winner back when it started as the spike video game awards in 2003 and it's so fucking funny dude

here is a frame from pluribus btw

Alright I'm too mad I'm not watching this anymore

canada, france, span, australia — TONS of great games coming out, all supported by government grants. the US is once again an exception and not the rule for extremely helpful government programs.

Clair Obscur sweeping so much shit just tells me we need more government grants for games Like in general

the truth is games aren't that expensive and don't take that long and aren't that hard to do. mfs just give funding to the wrong people and never stop fucking with em

THAT'S OUR GAME BABY!!!! THAT'S US!!!! LET'S EAT SOME DRYWALL!!!!

"Fally" small OC plush commission!

Using traditional medicine to make my son way bigger

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I love Pokemon Z-A... yes pokemon should be better by now but omg it's still so much fun

I do think a big compelling part of the fantasy of RPGs is “it is possible to understand and deploy a coherent model of how people will react to me”

Awesome thing about gamedev is when the engine does all the environment setup for you. I am trying to make contributions to a web app and it's taking me days just to figure out how to run the thing

Putting the concept of a vertical slice on the high shelf until execs and publishers know how to use them responsibly

Release date unlocked!

There's a terrifying amount of people at the highest levels in this industry, who legit just don't like art. They like prestige. They like fame. They like press. They like money. We ain't in this for them.

I was trying to fix a tool from the Godot asset library because it was acting weird, and realized it was vibe coded. :I Why should I have to spend time fixing code that this guy couldn't be bothered to write in the first place? It's just offensive

what if #neopets aisha was in #AnimalCrossing :o

Reminds me of this eternal Ted Chiang banger-

nightmare mode

im the only one who can log into the hotel app so i tried to prank @jciii.me by putting the hotel lights/audio in "dream mode" while i'm across town BUT I CAN'T TURN IT OFF??????????

and had so many in-depth chats with people about EMPATHY in game development, working together with people who are different from you, the joy of fitting people's work together into one whole thing.

Everyone at #GodotCon was soooo nice and fun to talk to 😭 it was crazy to be able to have such in-depth conversations about a game engine with anybody in the room

they should make it easier for trans women

Thank you to everyone who came to our talk on cross-team collaboration!! This was my first talk, I had a blast ❤️ #GodotCon #Godot
