The Rockstar Games Workers Union - which I firmly believe my involvement with was the reason Rockstar fired me and 34 people last October - is formally seeking voluntary recognition from the company. I hope the right thing is done here ✊ 🌱 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

No it’s true we did cover it (on our second channel) youtu.be/mJRL2Unk9ZE?...

Backstitch (backstitch.dev) brings Automerge-based collaboration and version control to the Godot game engine. It's is vastly more usable than Git, and a lovely showcase of what Automerge can do. Great talk from Lilith Duncan introducing the project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAJ_...

Added the first bench in South Korea 🥳

Ever since this post I wanted to see the dog but they replaced it with a giant broccoli 😪

I feel the energy today 💚 going to write some HTML

Been using pagefind.app by @bglw.bsky.social to add search to several of my sites lately and it's so good! Needs some tweaking to get the details right but the steps to 'functional search' are really fast

The Cost of AI alextardif.com/AI.html

Using a code library on GitHub for a project and the whole thing (discussions/issues/PRs) is just AI bots talking to each other with walls of text ... Initial commit months ago, lots of GitHub stars, Claude Code as contributor are now all red flags for me, not a future worth pursuing

sad to hear about Ben's passing .. I've been watching their devlogs for so long it feels unreal. Thanks for everything ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD7r...

Delighted to be launching Fraude Design: the AI-free site builder for genius founders. For too long, making bad decisions with horrendous amounts of technical debt was limited to founders with an AI license. No more! Now you can make slop without the token usage! fraude.design

At Toyful Games we're making a short 2 player online co-op puzzle adventure game called Reason and Rhyme! We just got the steam page up, here's some gameplay:

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

I'm traveling to Japan next month. Does anyone have any good recommendations for guides, photo books, or other resources with tips and tricks for Japan? (Not the typical tourist spots)

Since moving to the UK I've seen more foxes than I did ever before in Belgium, so cute!

Fox in the Foliage

My Unity outline shader is 50% off! It has tons of features :) assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx...

remade the Blender 'cavity' viewport shading option for Unity makes any model pop without adding additional geometric detail

Snowy rock shader experiment inspired by some rocks I saw in the 'Tintin in Tibet' comic book.

Still proud of this 3D recreation I made of a scene from The Wind Rises. The cloud lighting is off but the vibe is there 😄

Our game Puzzling Places is coming to Steam on April 9th. It will give you hours of flow and relaxtion. If that's your kind of thing share and give it a review on launch day, because it will help with the algorithmn. store.steampowered.com/app/3530820/...

OUR NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER! Check out Songs of Glimmerwick, our witch academy RPG where the magic of the world is music! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/1706510/...

I'm very happy to announce that the first My Little Computer Friends game: Klifur, a casual 2D climbing game, is coming to Steam soon! Give it a wishlist! store.steampowered.com/app/4573210/...

Once I started contributing to OpenBenches I noticed there are sooo many memorial benches in the UK. Sometimes you find a spot with like 20 next to each other. They really love them here 😅

Hergé

Love to be called an outline nerd 😎

I am 100% getting this set

I thought this was a clip from Prince of Egypt for a second youtu.be/psDtqypK3hI?...

First time trying out Godot! Takes some getting used to 😅 Making a caustics shader right now

Out of the oven!

Feeling like announcing my game today! 🌞 ALL IN FLUX A little fishing and exploration game I'm working on. You swim the waters in otter form, solve physics puzzles, catch insects and experiment with lure-crafting to reel in the ultimate catch. Every fish is unique!

owenpomery.com @odpomery.bsky.social for the real deal! Now that I’m in the UK I should get some more prints and avoid the border tariff I usually have to pay

I was introduced to this Anti-AI slop site by @kamkonek.bsky.social where your answers come from humans LARPing as AI and you in turn also pretend to be AI. youraislopbores.me

I'm working on a game where you play as the Virtual Referee! #gamedev #indiegame

Some Sunday painting ☀️

using LLMs for certain types of coding tasks has made me crank output faster but I can actively feel my understanding and my sense of craftsmanship diminishing, and I don't like that feeling at all

The outlines are so good!!

Working on my CPU path tracer I always disliked that I couldn't see the output while rendering I now made a preview window to see the render converge! Now on to porting my actual path tracing logic

I'm down to my last £100, Ive signed on for work in warehouses/factories or whatever to keep the lights on but it takes a while to organise, if you'd like to support my artwork here is my Patreon, cheers! patreon.com/c/AlexDuneBr...

it’s important to keep caring about how things work and how they’re built

Found a cool web accessibility checker that uses only CSS to highlight issues with coloured boxes. Easy to add and useful when developing!

The most difficult part of the past few years has been observing colleagues, whom you assumed shared a similar set of morals, demonstrate with their actions that that is clearly not the case

Meanwhile the roads in my OpenStreetMap renderer are just rectangles pieced together! I wonder what the best next improvement is that I could make, these rectangles were the easiest thing I could think of but of course very ugly

The time has come… Presenting Skate Style, a next-Gen skating game built from the ground up. 🛹 Animation editor 🛹 Realistic graphics 🛹 Replay editor 🛹 Advanced character customization ⛔ No BS, just the good stuff. Try the demo now: store.steampowered.com/app/3862790/...

Trying to add GPU-based object picking this evening to my map data renderer. The idea is to render each building with their unique ID and then read the pixel value under the mouse to know which object it belonged to (in theory 😀)

Added some profiling to my map renderer so I can see what needs optimizing 👀⚡ A lot!

Finally, a place to rest. #gamedev #madewithunity

WIP so far on my #GlobalGameJam. It's a #VR experience where masked govt thug pigs have come to your neighborhood, harassing your neighbors. All you have is a smartphone w/ 2% battery left. Capture whatever you can to challenge the "official" narrative (lies). #gamedev #ggj #ggj26

Outlines!
