buy our freaking video game

Folks, I've been playing this on and off today, and I've got to tell you, it's probably my new favorite incremental game. The horror vibes, the music, the sound design? Sublime. Can't wait to put some more hours into it.

Gonna start a business that reviews video games on a technological basis but also sells fish call that the Digital Floundery

Thoughts on the new Warframe update: Gameplay decent, new Waframe interesting, the new tiles look amazing and play good… … but the quest wasn‘t very good. The writing in particular felt very disjointed and characters sounded very different than they did before (esp. Hunhow) in terms of VO direction

Finding out that Neumann (of microphone fame) belongs to Sennheiser and that their microphones are developed and built in the same factory feels like uncovering the world‘s nerdiest conspiracy theory

I very rarely repost things but this is worth sharing.

new handle who dis

Man if only we knew who was responsible for making the errors obscure and poorly documented, if only something could be done about that, if we just knew who was responsible-

Our game is coming to console! Also, soundtrack news soon-ish? 👀

Every time someone on YouTube uses FPS to measure performance instead of milisecond frametime I die a little bit inside. Mostly people who don‘t normally do perf-related stuff tend to do this a lot, but especially when measuring in the hundreds of FPS it‘s practically useless :(

Feeling spherically harmonious today. might hallucinate some coefficients later

turns out bluesky does not show images in a repost of a repost so here it is again: OUR GAME IS ON SALE!!! We have a bunch of cool stuff (and I mean, really cool stuff) cooking up so now's your chance to get in on the action for a most agreeable price!

his (our?) cool ass game is on sale now!!

Some quick Houdini practice since I haven't used it in years, featuring a bit of crude sound design as well :D

Hardware-accelerated Raytracing is an immensely useful and powerful hardware feature whose introduction into the public eye was entirely botched.

I don‘t disagree with the core thesis here - the "Man up" argument is terrible and GenAI in games generally sucks, but a LOT of people are missing that Ex- in the headline. The person who said this does not currently work for Blizzard. Pretending Blizzard is saying this feels disingenuous.

DLSS 5 in AC Shadows almost makes the rooftops here look they are snowy. Also what's up with the glowing debris pile there :O

I know everyone is posting those DLSS face comparisons around, and that is of course a huge affair, but what gets me so much about DLSS 5 is how changes the lighting of every scene into this slightly overcast thing. Like it looks like they just slapped a skylight on, all directionality is just gone

Finished horripilant by @pasgame.ca and GODDAMN IT'S SO GOOD, if you like incremental/idle/clicker games and horror stuff it's PERFECT, kinda gives me Vermis vibes Oh and the soundtrack is SO GOOD, @nolram.bsky.social did AMAZING with it, I need to buy it separately NOW

It feels like so many people enjoy difficult games so much these days that I almost feel crazy for wanting games that challenge me just enough to not be boring, but not too much to be frustrating

I did the music and sound for this - please check it out, every copy sold and review written means a ton to us :D

I'm watching old GDC editor design talks by @rystorm.com, but constantly distracted by how incredibly funky those glasses look

Hey all. Why is our little game blowing up right now

Horripilant is OUT NOW on Steam! Grab it now! store.steampowered.com/app/3525970/... #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Horripilant releases tomorrow.. ready to meet god? #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #godotengine

Happy to announce that I've gotten to contribute sound & music to the game Horripilant by my good friend @traz.bsky.social, which is coming out February next year! GO WISHLIST NOW!!! And a repost would be truly appreciated! s.team/a/3525970

hi I'm back, have some destruction R&D stuff from a while ago :)

This is why, for a while now, every time I tackle a complex feature or project, I always make a small, often hacky prototype implementation first outside my main project. This might be a weird strategy, but it means I am never going into the proper implementation blind and know what to look out for.

I know this was a joke post but in one indie game project I was on, our custom dialogue editing tool would play that one biggie cheese clip from Barnyard at maximum volume if you left the editor idle in the main menu for 2 minutes. I added it for April fools and just never took it out

Being nice to random strangers on the internet is actually addicting ya‘ll should try it sometime

Someone with more experience please explain: Isn’t fat-struct architecture terrible for CPU cache due to the large object size?

I don‘t need AI I can create a mental health crisis all by myself!

Found an old geometry cache playback experiment from some years ago :) The dynamics still look quite good I think! Rendering became the bottleneck here, so Vertex Animation Textures are probably the way to go afterall (who could have thought). #techart #gamedev #simulation #realtimevfx

Am I crazy or is “4 player coop with positional voice chat comedy game” just like, an unreasonably successful formula the last few years?!

Isn’t it weird that all the engine developers that work on tech like Unity or Unreal essentially never get credited in any shipped titles?

Stress type (Compression and Tension) visualisation in my new stress algorithm as part of the new destruction system I made a few months ago :D

Listening to the music of @aiviwave.com & @surasshu.com while programming has been a massive blessing for productivity. If anyone knows any more good music to code to, let me know, I’m starting to run out :)

Not normally what I like posting about. But. @steampowered.com appear to have seriously broken the german Steam store. Many games - like Doom 3 or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - just simply don't have a buy button anymore. (They are not restricted in germany, there's nothing in SteamDB about it.)

I made a small patching tool for DarkSector (a 2009 game from Digital Extremes) to fix some of the technical issues with it - like stretching at 16:9, and being unable to render at anything larger than 1080p. Check it out here: nolramsstuff.com/darkpatcher/ Oh, and the game is free at the moment!
