Indies, there's a lot of beloved franchises out there that are just aching for indie reboots. While the IP is under copyrights the ideas are not; there's no reason we can't have an indie takes on The Sims, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect. The gameplay, the settings, the themes are all free to pick up.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Preliminary trailer for my new game Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands #CRPG #Trailer #GameDev

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy. This seems kinda significant.

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

remember when we had a free and open internet i miss that

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚 Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩 #visualnovel #gamedev #steam

Reality check: * Starmer is a self-admitted transphobe. * Labour are banned from every Pride in the UK. * UK has dropped from #1 in Europe to the worst in Western Europe. * Trans adults and families with trans kids are fleeing the UK. * Lempkin Institute issued a genocide warning for the UK.

In the summers, I give presentations about game dev to high school STEM camps. One of the questions I've had multiple times in the last year or two is: "couldn't you make more money if you added gacha mechanics or psychological tricks to your games?"

“We applaud Oregon for stepping up to address single-use plastic. With SB 54, California has the chance to go even further by not just managing plastic waste, but preventing it.” – Amy Wolfrum, director of California Policy and Government Affairs, Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Given the state of the game tech industry and just... <gestures broadly at everything>, I have a strong feeling that I will building games in Godot on Linux in the future.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I am still figuring out logistics (and Rami has kindly offered to help a lil!), but I’ve been putting together a means for game devs to present GDC-style ‘talks’ on @playwatchlisten.bsky.social. When it’s public, devs will be able to submit a topic for consideration, and will be paid for their time!

Cursor is already going through the “switch” part of the “bait and switch” - this level of free or even paid access to LLMs was never sustainable. The train has caught up to the lack of rails. www.reddit.com/r/cursor/s/6... beware integrating these tools into your workflows!!

So uh, is anyone looking to hire a developer with an uncomfortable amount of knowledge about #atproto and #activitypub, experience building from scratch and running a social network (@ludumdare.com), hacking on GPU drivers/network protocols/the Linux kernel, plus a couple decades as a pro gamedev? 🤷

Senator @schatz.bsky.social post this over at the bad place and it’s important. This Big Bad Brutal Bill is worse than you can imagine. “This bill is a real piece of shit and it would be excellent if that's all anyone talked about for the next few days.”

It’s incredible to me that the president and his policies are deeply unpopular, and yet both the leadership of the opposition party and the media itself won’t take advantage. Blood in the water and no one wants to take advantage. I was there when Bush was president, they went for him hard!

Really wished I was wrong about that one. I fear it will get worse before it gets better, but I do believe it will get better; there are more of us than them. Answer their violence and hate with accountability; remind them that the government works for *us* and that includes ALL OF US.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

this is the most dystopian article I've ever read. wow. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

Hello from MODOC county where my hotel is definitely haunted by cowboys. Outstanding bar though. No sign of massive headed killing machines sadly.

What scares me about arrests like this is that they are hiding their identities. How do we know that these are actual ICE officials and not some horrible vigilante gang cosplaying their white supremacist fantasies? People *will* take advantage of this chaos to harm others. This shit is terrifying.

What are we even doing here? If you can't take the time to write something, why should I read it. If you can't time to make a movie, why should I watch it? If you can't take the time to design a game with intention, why the eff would I ever waste my time booting it up?

coming from someone who was an avid reader of Harry Potter, the fictional book and world should never be more important than real trans folks lives. this disgusting, vile thing is profiting off of the fact that you can't let go of nostalgia and actively harming a REAL community. Let it go.

Cus I damn near had a heart attack and would like to spare people that and de-escalate to my planned next steps of "sipping coffee while staring into the middle distance for an hour": If you're a fellow trans on ACA coverage, you still have ACA coverage, this "just" strips hormone/surgery coverage.

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer *laziness*. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

Oh my god, Copilot is allowed to create and fix issues on Microsoft github repos and it goes exactly as you'd have imagined. Try going into any of these PRs commits to see poor Microsoft engineers try to coerce Copilot into doing literally anything right. www.reddit.com/r/Experience...
