Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same. Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/s/...

If you haven't switched to Linux, the best time was few months ago and the second best time is now. Spoilter alert: we're not abandoning Windows. Windows in a VM under Linux will work faster than on bare metal. Check out my video to learn more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKtN...

Omg my mind is blown... An amazing Bulgarian woodcarver, Stefan R Todorov made my 'Get Out' artwork into a woodpiece, all tradiotionally handcarved I am absolutely speechless and honored.. it is making me emotional, so very stunning!!

Anyone who is about to complete, or already has completed, an age-verification or identity-verification process online should read this short article. Especially if it's on LinkedIn or Discord. "I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over." thelocalstack.eu/posts/linked...

the worst thing for me is. Imagine you lost a bunch of expert carpenters and you had to learn carpentry from scratch with no teachers, no youtube. That’s what the industry is currently doing. just getting rid of the folks who know the craft, and retaining the folks who know how to parasite

NEW: A Ubisoft union rep at Solidaires Informatique told me that around 1,200 workers went on strike yesterday to protest a five-day RTO policy and ongoing cost-cutting at the French publisher. The international strike will continue today and tomorrow at Ubisoft studios around the world.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft: unions called for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th. Here is the list of all the pickets around France ⤵️

I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game. If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute

We're launching a website. Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers. jank.cool If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

PSA: I avoid current events on here because that's not what I come here for (and I engage with that stuff elsewhere) but just so we're clear: if you support US dictator Trump or his regime in ANY way, we are enemies.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

Hey #portfolioday Good timing! After 15 years at @ubisofthalifax.bsky.social I today opened myself up to new (mostly remote) work opportunities. www.artstation.com/caponeart

On my favorite games of 2025, in that weird meandering way I think about games and life and industry and everything. Thanks to @giantbomb.bsky.social for having me! giantbomb.com/articles/ram...

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

US empire being evil again. NO to imperialism and war.

If you have a personal website with anything cool, be it art, writing, code, tutorials, breakdowns, science, movies, anything, then drop it in a reply, let's get a little thread of gems and non slop human work going. I'll start: I have a blog on 3D Art with guides and tutorials petedimitrovart.com

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

This is an important video on a lot of levels, but specifically it’s fascinating how the level of global complicity and support required to prop up apartheid has increased in the digital age. And how distributed and diffuse the infrastructure is. youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

🚨NEW DOC ALERT🕹️ The Making of Disco Elysium - Part One: Foundations www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH6m... After over 18 months of research, interviews & editing our Disco Elysium series is here. In this first episode we focus on the cultural and personal foundations of the world of Elysium.

A little fan art project for Outcast 2, in which I critique a specific scene in a game by way of creature animation (or here's what I would've added). www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VIxI7-LlIg

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

games people, if you could talk to a game developer about their craft for an hour, who would it be, and what would you ask them about?

Great news for the #StopKillingGames campaign. Signatures are looking good. A ton already verified with only 3 % being discarded so far. Two biggest countries still to be counted. Everything points to the EU Initiative going through.

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

something that I’ve been thinking about since DICE is that a lot of highly skilled devs are subject to management labelling them as ‘difficult’ and sidelining them simply because they point out and want to solve a problem, mismanagement which I think has contributed to a lot of failed projects

Only 4 days left before the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle sale ends, and about $8,000USD away from hitting $100k USD. Please RT and help push this as far and to as many people as possible for this last stretch. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

With students heading back to the classroom, a group of cognitive scientists and AI researchers has published one of the most forceful and evidence-backed calls yet to reject the "uncritical adoption of AI" in academia:

I keep thinking about "3D impressionism" as a much needed term for the way we think about art direction in games To me measuring how "better" or "worse" the graphics are only in terms of their relation to reality is like claiming the photo of a street in Arles is objectively superior to Van Gogh

The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle is now live! Nearly 400 games from creators all around the world, with proceeds going directly to Gaza relief efforts. Bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... We made a launch trailer to celebrate this moment👇 Please RT.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

I would rather play a game with rough unpolished mechanics that lets me visit an interesting world than an ultra-polished game that has the same boring setting and same story and characters I've seen a million times. Show me something new.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.

I feel like the unspoken fourth line of this one is that it's impossible to please everyone and if your only goal is to hammer down every feedback mole that pops up you will end often with everyone unhappy. Have your audience and creative goals in mind. Not everything NEEDS fixing
