I've been waiting on this one! See how to use our new and immensely powerful GPU profiler in Unreal Engine 5.6+, and how it helps you debug GPU crashes! #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnbA...

With SCREEN Act and KOSA on the legislative block this week, there couldn't be a better time for Fight's "Stop Online ID Checks" Week of Action. Today's action: Share and sign the petition. Find out more here: www.stoponlineidchecks.org

I'm posting up a storm on my educational site and on youtube, check out these 4 new lessons. 3 are videos and 1 is written. They can be found here: www.youtube.com/@ArtOfSoulbu... and www.neilblevins.com/art_lessons/... #blender3d #blender #vfx #animatedfilm #gameddev #procreate

Can’t spell equestrian without quest.

Hey gang! We're making strides on being open about the going's on behind the studio! Check out our new blog on how we handle it when life gets busy for employees #indiegames #gamedev www.chroniclersoftware.com/blog/chronic...

Hey, all. I'm looking for someone to do high quality animated stickers/emotes like you would find on WhatsApp, Line or the Steam Store. ✨ Know anyone? Lmk! Thank ya. 🙏

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera both deserve Oscars for that performance, good lord. And they did it while singing and in heels!

What's the equivalent of getting a good night's sleep for game dev? Years of R&D, six months of full time development. We're wrapping up our vertical slice so we can move towards announcement and pre-alpha playtests. Big things ahead. I want to be well rested to lead us through this milestone!

Tired: Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter. Wired: Arc Raiders is aggravated friend-slop.

My new awnser for when someone asks "How do you make a game?" is "One day at a time."

the real source of truth was the tribal knowledge we found along the way!

"Game dev. Manifesting, with extra steps" #gamedesign #gamedev

I believe in the concept of variable backup plans, the idea being the amount of detail is based on the likelihood of having to execute them. Plan 2, several steps lined up. Plans 3-4, initial step lined up. Plans 5-7, have assessed viability. Plans 8+, have assessed comedic potential.

If you're a Seattle voter, check your ballot status! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

My ballot was challenged and it only took me two minutes to correct. Please, check your ballot status!

If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade. I'll personally walk you through it.

How poor leadership slows down game development #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev

Social conventions that protect abdication of responsibility and accountability. Give me a couple hours and I'll figure a way to say it without sounding like a ratty old tenured professor.

I don't really love to throw industry shade because it's rarely black and white, but I am going to remind people that a game starring arguably the most iconic black superhero was cancelled *in advance* of this sale and all of the GDC talks from staff working on it were shot down at the EA level

YES. It's easy to find white guys that are a good fit when your whole team is already white guys. Lack of accountability and unwillingness to have hard conversations is a plague on the games industry in particular. Do the work. Build talent pipelines that support people as diverse as your fans.

Hi, Seattle! Please remember to vote tomorrow!

girls don’t want boyfriends, they want Bad Company 3.

Happy Halloween from Chronicler! Tonight we're hanging with the fam, snagging some candy, and pulling up a couch co-op or two What games are on your list tonight?? #halloween #indiegames #gamerdad #gamermom

Today, Seattle and #Cascadia demonstrated that they can care for and protect our neighbors, even as the federal government ignores them and lets them go hungry. You braved the rain to donate 2,000 pounds - 1 ton - of food to food banks serving those at risk of losing SNAP benefits. Thank you! 💚🇱🇸

Lack of retirement security in the US has led to small business owners selling to conglomerates and private equity instead of running apprenticeships and passing on knowledge. Retirees are looting the next generation's future to pay down the cruelty of their and their parents' generations.

I miss drawing as much as I did back in the day, it's such a huge time commitment and I know if I did I'd be tapped on everything else.

i read that ign article about love and deepspace characters with darker skin tones not being visible in cutscenes and, because it is a pet peeve of mine, yes this is a real issue and i don't mean to diminish it but ALSO it is not a "lighting problem" so much as a systemic albedo/shading problem

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

friends in the US, here’s a great website that lists food assistance sites and services near you. if you need it, take it. it’s given with love and goodwill to you from your community for those with resources to spare—please consider donating to your local 💖 foodsearch.net

Yes, you are being asked to train your replacements. The same thing happened with outsourcing overseas, with managers promising people they would still have jobs right up until they were fired. Screw that. www.businessinsider.com/inside-ai-di...

Netflix refusing to release Frankenstein to the big theater chains is so stupid. I'd watch it in theaters, then watch it again on streaming, just like I do with all of del Toro's works. What a loss, not everyone has a home theater and it deserves a big screen and sound.

Also, building a good remote work culture is a hard ongoing process that requires lots of accountability from leadership. Why go through all that effort to benefit employees when you've already budgeted for leases 10 years out? (We're fully remote at work and it is HARD but worth it.)

Look at this lego lighthouse and Twig! It's so nice to see something you worked on inspire creativity in others.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

Dude is all "I didn't mean it as an insult!" I do. If I say this looks like AI, I am insulting it. You say my work looks like AI and I am taking it as a grevious insult. You will be blocked!

Like science, making a game takes iteration. Hopefully it doesn’t off your computer in the process right? *WANT TO PLAYTEST?!* Join Our Discord! As a note: our game is fresh - so def expect computer demand, bugs, and all the chaos that comes from cookin' #indiegame #playtest #gamedev #whattoplay

My take, for #gamedev producers on how to prioritize your work. Note that people come first. Do not skip step 1: 1. People: support the teams AND the individual 2. Product: whatever we need to ship it on time 3. Process: aligning the two listed above

If NPR's Marketplace isn't on your radar, I highly recommend it. A thing they keep talking about is the "K-shaped economy". Know what that is? That means going in two directions. In this case, things getting better for high earners and worse for low earners. www.marketplace.org/episode/2025...

getting ready to explain what an advance is to publishing partners with all the grace of sesame street

People definitely need to learn the history of how strikes actually work. You definitely have to address how people are going to get their needs met. For the Montgomery bus boycotts, they organized car pools to get people to work. You can't just say "don't go to work".

So much cool stuff was going on in Titan A.E.

As an immigrant to the US, seeing the pictures from the No Kings protests gives me hope for the future. Thank you to every citizen that came out in support of democracy and human decency. ❤️🐸

Sounds like Mike Johnson hasn't read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's story yet. Here's the link 💁‍♂️ www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Look as a parent gamer in my 30's I wouldn't USUALLY publicly admit that I think something is cute and I might need to add it to my collection - but COME ON look how cute this plushie is. Our creative director knocked it out of the park with this one #indiegame #gamedev #gamer

I've been saying this for years

If you have ADHD? Now is a great time to remove all of your old drink containers from last week off of your desk.

D'Angelo and Drew Struzan?! It hurts... just legendary artists. Taking some time out today to be grateful for everything they gave to the world and taught me through their art.

It's Next Fest! Which means demos abound! We'll be looking especially for co-op and space games - with our favorite to keep an eye on being highlighted on Discord What games should we play?! #coop #nextfest #gamerdad

No, it’s totally fine and cool that I get my best writing done between 10PM and 2AM, why do you ask?
