Hmm based on the number of games like Rimworld I seem to play, maybe I should try to make one... #gamedev

Another update to the Runtime Navmesh Baker pushed up, adding a new "one shot" mode for simple procgen use cases, and added optional profiler hooks throughout that can enabled. Should be live Monday morning assetstore.unity.com/packages/too...

Unfortunately I'm not sure making it a "festival" will compensate for the incredibly expensive locale, tickets, and food, for not paying their speakers, shilling for AI and bitcoin in recent years, and now the addition to that you might get literally disappeared by ICE if you're international. :(

For something supposedly “the new industry standard”, it’s absolutely wild how completely undocumented the USD binary and ascii file formats are. Forced to trace through template-hell C++ to reverse-engineer how it works.

A tough final against the Red Roses, but so proud of the Canadian women and their silver medal at the Rugby World Cup! Such an amazing tournament for these women, and the women of all the nations competing! #rugby #rugbyisamazing #canada

Gasparo needs to be punished for these antics.

Vancouver Game Garden 2025 is TOMORROW!! 🎮🌱 Join us on September 27 & 28 at the Roundhouse Community Center for this free, all-ages event full of indie game demos, a video-game-artist alley, educational talks from speakers like Daniel Mullins, Davey Wreden, and Maddy Thorson, and cool prizes! ✨

Pretty sure we can guarantee Sony doesn't have a fucking clue what audiences will or will not like after the laughingstock they are from letting Demon Hunters go for such a steal.

I know some of you consider yourselves very serious lefties out there, but if you’re saying that Bush or Reagan were as bad as Trump is, you’re not a serious person and if you say that Obama was as bad a president as Trump is, your opinions deserve vicious mockery if they deserve attention at all.

Also: holy fucking barf

Hey all! I'm looking for an expert on community building and management who can provide me with some consultancy. Paid. I'm specifically looking for someone with the know-how to grow a community for narrative thriller/horror game titles.

Condo bylaws are a cool invention where a company makes incredibly restrictive and arbitrary rules about the property you own which exclusively benefits them as the building owner, and then those rules can never be altered, adjusted or removed.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

In Episode 5 of #EnduringPlay, a #GameDev podcast, @brightwhitney.bsky.social levels up our understanding and appreciation of #narrative design and narrative direction - and how they differ from writing - drawing from award-winning experience on #videoGames like Holovista & TTRPG Bluebeard's Bride.

Keeripes, forgot for a sec why I don't buy AAA games anywhere near launch. Price your indie games higher!

Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.

Andy is 100% correct here. Stop treating public utilities like a business. Just do right by all the Canadian taxpayers who finance this thing and expect good service.

Odds are good there’s a powwow near you on this coming Tuesday to recognize Truth & Reconciliation Day. Go experience a powwow and see why it’s upon all of us to protect these cultures and fight for their sovereignty.

"Despite clear Covid-era evidence that GDC could be digitally accessible, and there being no reason but [organizer] Informa’s bottom line for the event being so expensive, GDC remains offline-only and the ticket prices obscene," - one of my quotes in this article www.theguardian.com/games/2025/s...

So fucking gross #Canada better wake up and stop this shit in it's tracks

Barf

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

THE FUCKING PIZZA

They just straight up lied through their teeth about TYLENOL, how does anyone think this is going to play out? American Women, your country is out to make your life hell.

Wolverine cruisin past my house, great to see

Get this US political bullshit out of Canada

What the fuck is this story? US busy wiping out all medical R&D and telling people not to take Tylenol but also interfering with Canadian health and safety to save 400 ostriches? GTFO here. Anything RFK Jr tells you to do re: health, you do the exact opposite basically.

Can we just get an Alien Earth spin-off series of Timothy Oliphant being that-bitch doing horrible science shit. I'd watch 20 episodes of it.

@plex.tv holy fuck just stop - you are a media server, not a fucking social network. I have sub'd for a decade and you push ne closer to canceling with every update

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

It's all just a fucking ponzi scheme at this point. So ridiculous

AI is 10 friends passing the same $5 bill back and forth between each other but every time they get it they say they earned $5.

Progress of my system for @unity.com, #CScape City Sketcher. It helps to draw city layouts extremely fast by just sketching a layout and then iterating on it. It can help to build streets, sidewalks, and building layouts with custom properties for each entity. #gamedev

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

Doing an evening of perf optimization while the team is asleep So rewarding squeezing fractions of a ms here and there 🤣 With VR frame times every little bit counts

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

They can't even say they blinked without lying.

This is just money laundering at this point, no? Open AI buys hardware from nVIdia, nvidia buys "ai bs" from Open AI...rinse repeat gamesbeat.com/nvidia-and-o...

I think it is better when conferences are led by people who come from the communities the conferences are for, rather than companies who run conferences across many communities.

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.
