America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Being around FOSS a while sometimes you don't realize how formative certain games are, like I think mentally because I was around when Linux had nowhere near the spread it does now, being the kid who played Tux Racer feels like a very personal, almost private experience. Who played that?

$20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music. Available now for only $10 on: moonanagames.itch.io/80-songs-pack Is it worth it? Don't take my word for it, just look at what the ppl have said instead. #gamedev 🎮 #ttrpg #vtuber

little more, getting pretty close to done

zine making workshop was a success. good art was made.

If you're here for boomer shooter content, I have a starter pack for you bsky.app/starter-pack...

The last toast by the legend herself: I leave it up to you to go to lindken.com and look up Jennell Jacques, now look at her job description, goddess of technology… and fuck cancer, fuck it in the ass - Becky

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

at the end of the day your work speaks for itself and nobody can stop persistence. eventually you outlive the people who are invested in keeping you down and that’s what success is.

if you’re at it long enough in a space or industry that’s hostile to you just by virtue of who you are you’ll have plenty of people threaten that they’ll make sure you never work there again, or get press again… and idk but even influential gatekeepers expire and you just have to outlive them…

You could just play critically acclaimed RPG Quest 64 for forever instead of interacting with slop and you'd probably be happier

Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social needs to be transfered by helicopter to a medical center where they can better treat her cancer, which means her gofundme needs $20k more. please give to support this trans game dev elder if you can!

Here is my QBJ3 map out of bounds screen for now. Pretty good progress so far.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

sexual violence is so much a part of the fabric of american society that to mention it at all is to risk upending everything, but it must be talked about. it must be dragged into the light and the people who perpetrate it held to account.

The surest way to discover new immersive sims is to subscribe to 2 Headed Hero's youtube channel. They cover the classics, demos, upcoming releases, games that no-one's heard of (like Ctrl Alt Ego at one time!). By supporting them, you're supporting all imsim developers.

Man, I love this feature. I was constantly toggling this in the Dark Forces remaster, which allowed me to appreciate both the new and the old even more.

Doing a cool VFX commission for another indie dev, getting to exercise some shader muscles and experiment with RGBA-as-data patterns. Fun stuff.

What if the super shotgun is a arm canon with a drum mag and it’s also automatic? #metroidvania #boomershooter #indiegame #indiedev

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Hopefully people can remember that this is all especially hard for sexual assault survivors

Hopefully people are remembering that sexual assault victims can read what they’re saying

The big tech run internet SUCKS, so I learned how to run a VPS and built my own forum. It's old school and modern. It's got signatures and chat. We're doing jams and sharing our art and talking about games. We do not abide bigotry or gen AI. You are always welcome at theunderscore.xyz

Gonna have a little notice in every one of my Blue Key Games projects that says "No AI was used in the development of this game", just like movies have to state no animal was harmed in the production.

honestly any time there's a dispute about who did what on a given high profile and successful project every single creative team should have been required to have someone with photographic memory involved whose job it is to set the record straight

Closing in on 40 and suddenly everywhere becomes the...

Phew, new Urban Decay update, finally. These broken windows took a lot of work, but I think they were worth it. There's now 940 bloody textures in this thing, so close to the big 1000. strideh.itch.io/stridehs-urb...

Every single ICE agent needs to be put on criminal trial for human rights and Constitutional violations. Not sued, criminally tried. No exceptions. It does not matter how they contributed to this evil, every employee of ICE are complicit in the destruction of so many innocent lives.

"...in England and France and any nation in the world, if the historical circumstances had come together and produced a charismatic enough leader and a credible enough threat." "These people are not terribly imaginative; they only know one trick and they've been doing it for centuries".

Alan Moore: "The Nazis didn't come from Mars, they weren't monsters such as the world had never seen; they were street sweepers and factory hands and bakers and butchers. But when someone in uniform told them to, they went out and killed six million human beings. And the same would have happened..."

Companies have so fetishized the idea of free labor they’re paying the highest prices to get it. If they can just realize their dream of a world without employees, they think, the savings will come. The savings will come. It’ll all be worth it when nobody has a job and all the money’s dried up.

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

Godot 4.6 dev 3 completely overhauls SSR and the impact it's had on the overall visuals in the engine is insane. This is one of the biggest leaps forward the engine has taken visually in a while! godotengine.org/article/dev-... github.com/godotengine/...
