i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

What we found was one of the very worst examples of workplace abuse in the history of this industry. That may sound hyperbolic. I really don't think it is. Here's our investigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9H... (5/7)

Wish you could edit Godot scenes in context of a bigger scene, like in Unity? I scripted a plugin which hijacks your viewports to do exactly that. You just gotta hit save though 🤷. Grab it here: github.com/CozyCubeGame... #GodotEngine #gamedev

Looks like the kind of thing that could become a core feature.

Low-poly + Gradient textures, or High-poly to low-poly + PBR textures? I found the latter funnier to do, but the former is faster to do. A bit of a conemdrum as a solo dev! What would you go for as an indie? #Godot #GodotEngine

Godot's shader reference is ok but it's kind of intermixed with tutorials, code & notes. I was constantly scrolling up/down and found it a bit uncomfy. So I made an interactive reference with some combiners and filters to only show what you need... #gamedev #godot #indiegamedev #indiedev #shaders

I'm putting together a Canada game dev starter pack in response to this idiotic tariff war so people can support Canada-based game devs through follows / purchases if they choose to. Reply if you're a game dev in Canada and you want to be on it. Please repost. Thanks!

Anybody positing that the problem with the games industry is that devs are too expensive is gonna get an instant block. For the cost of one EA CEO you could afford 213 devs making $120k apiece. Read the room, my dudes; a LOT of very skilled people are out of work right now. Profits are trickling up

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

starting to think it might be bad that the industry at large is producing only two types of games: load-bearing AAAAAs with 5-10 year development cycles that need to make a billion dollars to not be seen as a failure, and predatory dark-pattern live games that…also need to make a billion dollars

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they *literally whispered,* they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Godot 4.4 beta 1 is finally here! This release had tons of editor quality of life features as well as performance improvements, we know you are going to love it. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, we added embedded game debugging inside the editor! #godotengine godotengine.org/article/dev-...

What a shutdown feels like. A shutdown is a response to sensory or emotional overload. Similar to a meltdown, but in this case, the person withdraws, reduces interaction, or stops responding as a self-protection mechanism.

#notGDC will be back again for 2025! 🌈 What do you want to see from a free, online, community-run conference?

big rat steals things in the co-op kaiju horror cooking game now you’re welcome

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

After about 30hrs of work, I just finished a new move: a Trajectory-Based Wall-Jump! I finally got the endpoint to react to collisions without glitches, which I'm super happy about. I'm considering making a tutorial on this since there aren’t many on trajectory lines in Godot yet. #gamedev #Godot

Now you can block attacks just like in smash bros. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Added mouse support and player spawning. (a lot of bug fixes, that don't actually show up in any form and shape in this post :3) #Screenshotsaturday #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Like how many players? I guess all of them. #godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #multiplayer #localcoop

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

1 round is not enough to show of your skill. So you can play 3 now. 👀 *we all know that the first match is always a warm up 😅* So it doesn't count 🙈 #godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #multiplayer #localcoop

The implementation can be found here : github.com/CasualGarage... Don't hesitate to contact me if you need some support/explanation. Feel free to contribute ! @godotengine.org @goropeko.bsky.social @godotbarn.bsky.social #vfx #GodotEngine

I tried something new today- I've been wanting to learn Blockbench to make cute low poly models so I made this little cake slice. I've never done pixel art before so texturing was a challenge but it was fun to try! #blockbench #3dart #3dmodeling #pixelart

This eye sees all your sinful thoughts 💜 #wip #art

Hello new followers! 💛 I’m Marina and I’m a game designer focused on Emotional Game Design. ✨ I’m currently an emotional game designer and head of business at btf Games in Berlin. 🔥 Prev. I was the lead game designer for the indie game Dordogne! I’m also a consultant and a filmmaker. 🥰

"does this game sell" "does that game sell" bitch, the fuck do you care. Half the best games ever made "failed to meet expectations". Shadow of the Colossus? Alien Isolation? Mirror's Edge? Is yer joy based on first week sales?? Stop doing free PR for corporations and start respecting artists

EVIL GAMEDEV ADVICE: expand the scope. more items. your first game should be a 40 hour rpg. dont forget to expand the scope. don't ask for help. create a discord server. there should be 63 unique classes in your rpg. no fishing game. don't forget to expand the scope.
