I think these gray lines are a bug (duplicated orbit lines), but they kinda look nice! #gamedev

What’s the damn-fool thing you’re attempting this year that definitely, definitely won’t work except *what if it did because that would change EVERYTHING*? Nail it up here for all to see, & that’d be a step towards making it real. (Also? Someone else reading it might be able to help.)

Ostranauts is my go-to game to live among the stars. Hard sci-fi. Living among the stars means to steal an actual bed - and parts to weld something to your ship that resembles crew quarters - from some wreckage in a space boneyard around 1036 Ganymed in the black between Earth and Mars.

Happy new year, everyone! We've posted a 2025 year in review, for those who are interested. Plus a few sneak peeks on upcoming content. store.steampowered.com/news/app/102... #gamedev

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.

Hey Folks! Ship Combat Preview and QoL Patch is live! store.steampowered.com/news/app/102... Fixes and improvements for undocking, the PDA Vizor, inventory, and others. Plus a ship combat preview! #gamedev #spaceships

aha right! I like Ostranauts for its gorgeous physical UI for flying a ship around scavenging, and the meticulous ship editing to keep track of atmosphere, pressure, temperature... there's some fun NPC dialogue stuff as well but mostly i like the little fly-scavenge-sell-tweak ship-repeat loop!

Another awesome game, now published by @kitfoxgames.com, that I continue to spend far too much time in. They are adding ship to ship combat 🔫 and fire 🔥which should be spectacular! Oh and for the love of Baphomet's spine don't eat the "meat chunks" in your Trenchers meal box! 🫢 #Ostranauts

Hello, what's this? #gamedev

Started a new playthrough of #ostranauts with the Retrofit ship. It didn't even have life support. Was quite challenging and fun to survive the first run. Now let's scavenge for that first oxygen tank on the next run. Making the ship better will be a nice puzzle after that.

We have a bunch of end-of-year news coming this week. Expect to hear about Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud and Ostranauts!

So in my book Violent Triangles I take game artists back to fundamentals of game art so you understand what is going on under the hood of your game engine and the tricks to exploit it, all presented in clear visual diagrams. Stuff like rasterisation, anti-aliasing, overdraw, texture memory etc.

I'm too tired to do 50 individual posts, but I made a backloggd list with 70+ indie gems I enjoy: bckl.gg/p7rP Avoided obvious big hits like Undertale & Obra Dinn to focus on smaller games, but still wanted to shout out stuff like Pseudoregalia, Umurangi & Thirty Flights of Loving.

If you're like me you were waiting what felt like your whole life for a space scavenging/salvaging game, with nothing scratching the itch quite right. I'm here to tell you it's here. go play Ostranauts, now. I can't believe I havent made this post on this platform yet.
