Just stumbled upon this ancient PcPersective article on real-time ray tracing.. In 2008. :) pcper.com/2008/06/ray-... It details the story of nine students (Karim, Wussie, Rick, Jan, Rutger, Trevor, Mathijs, Roel, Wilco) who worked in various roles on CPU-ray traced games using the Arauna engine.

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Surely they can't take credit for being the first game with incomprehensible screaming.

I enjoy looking back on how far I've progressed. It makes the rest of the journey seem less daunting.

Swimming? No. Running through the water at high speed is her thing.

Nah, let’s just keep doing the thing that has a 100% failure rate. I’m sure next time you give a brand new studio $200 million for one game they’ll produce the next Fortnite. 26th time’s the charm, right?

What keeps going through my mind is; What good is all that focus testing if you can't validate that a game appeals to its target audience? Was the response from these test groups more positive than that of the general audience, or was their feedback ignored? I've been wondering this since Concord.

Absolute peak internet moment while Github celebrates it's billionth repository, and it's just the word "shit" written in a markdown file.

Agreeing with this. "Solo developer" isn't quite solo, but with 90+% of the work done by one person it's hardly a group effort either. I'm happy to simply list the studio name though, even when I'm the only employee.

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

Been using this for a while now. It’s pretty nice to have a full-fledged scripting language for dialogues.

I have a man trapped inside the games industry. If he can stay in there for six months hours without screaming, he gets $1, no credit and will be released by email. Can't wait to upload this 🥰

Ahh! So close to being funded!

"Show me the four GAMES that influenced YOUR current game project."

Show me four GAMES that influenced YOUR current game project

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.

Not surprising a company that relies on per-seat licensing isn't doing too well in a shrinking industry. Hopefully they can find stability again.
