Can I make games?

TIL that there's an E.T. game with this as its last screen of the credits. Since the credits were hidden behind a cheat code, it was still rated E :D

And as we all knew would happen, the game with a publisher and hundreds of employees that cost tens of millions of dollars has won indie game of the year and debut indie game. Apparently independent means uh, giant studio financially dependent on others. Very fair, real indies can totally compete.

he wasn't done yet

A third time

Now THAT'S POD RACING!

Wow there are so many Hollywood actors and movies and shows at the #GameAwards I guess the game industry is now legit.

They did the Miss Piggy bit twice.

This spoke to me on an emotional level. #JaidenAnimations www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBZv...

May your Hallow’s Eve be full of shadows and screams (of delight) STEAM PAGE 🎃 bit.ly/4etDkl2 #horror #indiegame #halloween #crt

TIL that Jamie Pressley is NOT Margot Robbie (and vice versa)

Seldom have seen a #Halloween decoration that is genuinely this scary.

Yesterday was my last day at Ubisoft. Today is my first day at Vantage Studios. #gamedev news.ubisoft.com/en-us/articl...

When you don't check the scales you get Unexpected Skibidi Toilet #gamedev

What drives a person to this epiphany? What is there even to gain?

Nothing validates me more than knowing a code change will introduce caca, warning it will introduce caca, see it be added to the code base and then lead to caca. #Gamedev

Find the problem. You have 5 seconds #retrogaming

This is how I'm changing browser.

I just ate a burrito with Jolokia salsa in it without knowing it was another word for Ghost Pepper at 1 million Scoville. Would recommend as I have never felt so alive. #ringoffire

I've shown Mirror's Edge to my 3 year old son today and I realized the game is close to 17 years old. It still looks amazing. I kinda miss these days. #retrogamong #mirrorsedge

Which one is the hardware limitation? It's a pretty beefy PC. What can Windows 11 even need more than that? Am I taking crazy pills?

I have come across these in the woods lately. It inspired me to create some for our game #homecall #lowpoly #indiegamedev #forest #horrorgame #indiegame

Here's a before and after of the UI changes of the pause menu We've found the identity of the UI. We went for something both useable and memorable (we hope) #indiegamedev #gamedev #uiux

Update: still biting the bullet. Unity's canvas scaler is strong but there is still so much adjustments needed to layout elements. But it looks way tighter than before! #indiegamedev

Tonight I am biting the bullet and finally making sure our UI supports 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 at least. It's a pain. But I believe once we're all set, it'll be worth it. #indiegamedev

We made a thing that looks cool I believe #gamedev #indiegamedev

I'm so excited for TES Oblivion!!

@ubisoft.com has made a tool for game developers that lets you detect colour blindness related issues in your game: UbiChroma! It is open source and free to use! 💕 Accessibility win for the day!

Today's mood: #Ghost #PapaPerpetua #Skeleta

Yearly incantation 🕯 ✨ ✨ 🕯 🕯 ✨ One day I will ✨ Attend #GDC 🕯 🕯 ✨ ✨ 🕯

Yesterday night all of Ubisoft Quebec City dressed up to celebrate the upcoming release of #AssassinsCreedShadows! Complete with a huge arcade, ramen bar, a live band and of course karaoke 🎤 #AssassinsCreed #gamedev

Over my career, I've seen the power of games, of play, of art, of joy. They manifest spontaneously, everywhere, always. They're encoded into our being, into our humanity, and no matter how bad things get, art galvanizes, play reinvigorates, joy motivates - it just happens.

Gonna tell my kids this was Max Payne #maxpayne #jackquaid

Titles like this really need to fucking stop. ComicBook are terrible for it, so glad extensions like github.com/iorate/ublac... exist to block them out of searches. (It was for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which is rated Playable)

It's 2025 we're smack dab in the middle of the twenties can we do away with article titles such as these? The game is Pacific Drive.

The Ubisoft Quebec studio added these two beautiful Naoe and Yasuke lifesize statues a couple weeks ago! Forgot to share some pics #AssassinsCreed

Come work with me on this amazing project! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41... #gamedev

MFW the only comment on my code review is `const` on a local variable #gamedev
