This looks amazing! Can't waittttt

Weird little experiment with #bevy + kinect + cellular automata + using real time bsky activity for objects

First 3d print that I designed! It's a usb hub holder for a laptop stand. It didn't print too well but it's functional and definitely better than the previous solution (random box + multiple rubber bands)

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

Our (@mahliann.bsky.social, @marcuscarter.com, and I) book GAME STUDIES: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE FIELD is officially OUT everywhere in the world except the US for some reason. So here is an actual thread about why we wrote it and what we were trying to achieve with it.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

GAMER SHIVERS [Challenging: Success] — There is no such thing as "good at marketing." There is success, and failure, and random chance. To control the market is to look to madness; madness is where the power lies. Skip a stone across the ocean. Damn yourself when it sinks.

The free coworking space I use has paintings on the walls made by kids and teens. It's so much nicer than looking at blank walls

Bluesky seems to be a bit quiet in terms of musicians, but here goes anyway. There's going to be a game jam in August, where developers make "interactive music video" games for songs submitted by musicians. If you've got a song, you can submit it here: forms.gle/WAXzVCXLX7qb... Please share!

If you wanted REAL Oblivion news today, here's a reminder that WHEELJAM happened, and produced games good enough that PC Gamer did a lil' write-up about the results! (I am still playing through them all at a snail's pace but I've been thoroughly impressed.)

#gamedev destructible terrain tax: whenever you implement a destructible terrain, you are contractually obligated to draw silly little shapes instead of working on real stuff for at least 1 (one) hour #godotengine

Disco elysium's shortcut for an instant, at-any-time language switch is a such a great accessibility feature! The game sometimes likes to use some obscure English words and being able to switch to my native language (Polish) is so nice for that. Game dev's take note!

#WHEELJAM game is done! I'm happy with the general result and especially the general aesthetic, though I wish I had a bit more time to spend on the gameplay 😅 You can play it here! naruvan.itch.io/daemon-resou...

#WHEELJAM PROGRESS! The game has a wheel (singular) and a silly demon dude and spells and dithering that will surely survive whatever compression is on bluesky #ScreenshotSaturday

Hello #screenshotsaturday! Not a game pic, but I spent the whole day today showing off my #indiegame in a local student event! My social battery is drained, but it was super fun to meet other local gamedevs, play their games and get some irl playtesting from strangers! (photo posted with permission)

Huh… pomodoro 🍅 never worked for me previously — not in university and not in a software engineer job. But in self-employed #gamedev it seems to work great for me?! Anyone had a similar experience?

First #WishlistWednesday! I've updated the screenshots on the steam page for my action roguelike, which you can see below! vvv If it looks interesting, you can wishlist it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3509950/... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

#GodotEngine 4.4 is HERE! 🎉🎉 I've been using the betas and release candidates for my #indiegame Gun in a Well for quite a while, so I'm really excited about the full version! The killer feature for me is EMBEDDED GAME WINDOW which made iterating on the game so much nicer! #indiedev #gamedev
