Look, I know it kinda sucks when you've got ideas that your skills aren't up to implementing. I know that awful feeling when you try to do something and it looks, sounds or feels awful. But that just means you're trying to bite off too much at once. Scale back, and treat it as a learning thing!

breaking the format with a bonus 'extremely me' list

Yeah sure why not. The problem with these is have 100 answers for each box. See pic 2.

you don't and will never need ai to make a game #quake #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart

i still think valve should make source 2's hammer editor a standalone product and chuck it on steam for 60 bucks i'm right to think this.

Recently chose The Sum of All Fears game at random for a run through. That's a book/film and author I do not care about in the slightest, but I do like tactical shooters, slick interfaces and poking around mundane little low-poly environments.

Here's a preview of the huge UV/Texturing update for Scythe coming in 0.10. Scythe gets its own UV editor + more.

me and my beautiful wife @cammydev.bsky.social are creating a survival horror game called Despecholia in the Quake engine. heres some lil snippets of whats been done so far :3 #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #quake

"restored to the way the developers originally intended it" / "remastered to the style the devs envisioned but wasn't technically possible at the time" is a fantasy There is no platonic ideal. Every game is constructed out of the choices its developers made. Changing that makes it a different game

Bonus points if they're doing Stallone impressions

bring back when games were voice acted by the developers! i don’t want good voice acting anymore. give me the stuff someone had to power through reading, and it’s obvious whoever is being recorded is doing it as a last resort.

I don't have high standards, I just expect video game interfaces to have as much gall as 2005's hottest title, Liquidator 2: Welcome to Hell, from the makers of Utopia City.

Made a bunch of progress on a project I'd been stalled on for months. All it took was staying up until 5am.

Fire CEOs... into the sun

Film night

this is like the third time a studio has pulled this excuse when including genAI and it's the third time i've had to say that this issue of genAI placeholder assets is redundant because game devs had a more intuitive solution 30 years ago

Fucking love digging up some poorly received, forgotten old budget shooter and finding some damn charming low poly work buried away with time.

Tiny bat

Once again the people actually working on the games don’t want this bullshit but suits are shoving it down everyone’s throats. insider-gaming.com/dlss-5-gamer...

If my 1080ti can't run it smoothly I don't give a shit

nvidia needs to be put down

Do you know one thing that annoys me? Developers who'll use the AI generated content disclosure to plead why they're just a teeny tiny dev who's just gotta use AI, and you can't be upset because they're just a little guy who has to use it, they're just a little AI guy.

I'm not the most experienced 3D artist by any means but my girlfriend has been unemployed for a while and we need money. So I can make you a prop or other 3D object with either the flat style or more PSX. $10-25 per model depending on complexity DM me if you are interested! #blender #lowpoly

gets noisy at night

I don't have a problem, you have a problem

Wasn't prepared for tonight's choice of film, Cemetery Man/Dellamorte Dellamore. Just gets more and more dour and surreal every minute. I don't know that I 'get' it, but I think I loved it?

would anyone somehow happen to have all the images from texturer. com backed up? it got replaced with some betting bullshit last year but it used to have a shitload of great textures and browsing it in internet archive is a pain (really slow)

Godot lightmaps why must you hurt me so

Don't get your game opinions from YouTubers, I beg you

Has anyone used the new stencil buffer support in Godot to make stencil shadows yet... and can I steal it?

Any indie devs out there know any good, affordable sound libraries focused on physics sounds? Impacts, breaks, scrapes, that sort of thing?

Looking for a team mind map/whiteboard app to brainstorm a project with friends and every single one it seems has gone all in on "AI powered" drivel

Seeing a little bit of Operation Winback love on my timeline and I'm very much enjoying it

This is what I mean when I say that billionaires are a closed, incredibly stupid social circle. Loudly declaring 'Fuck Tim Sweeney! I'm backing Good Guy Gabe' is just falling into the trap. They're functionally identical. Newell is just better at keeping quiet about his brain-worms. Usually.

The freebie graffiti pack is out now, too. This one's supposed to compliment the stencil painted pack so grab that too if you haven't. strideh.itch.io/general-graf...

Here's a free little decal pack to kick off 2026. I love making little themed packs like this so there will definitely be more. strideh.itch.io/stencil-pain...

It's been a couple days since the last online service you rely on went to shit, so that must mean it's time for the next online service you rely on to go to shit

another one :3

That's seeing games as products for a median consumer, not as art pieces with unique voices, that reach people in different ways. But also, we really don't need a remaster - that's also saying "I can't engage with art unless it has modern graphics". Just play OpenMW & don't give money to Microsoft
