More important than ever to make sure your indie game runs well on lower end hardware.

It's more important to make games in general run better on lower end hardware PERIOD. So many AAA or even AA devs get these super rigs and don't remember a lot of people are still working with stuff from the GTX 1000 and RX 500 era.

good thing we have AI so I can not be able to pay my fucking water bill

I am once again soliciting advice on how to get over burnout. thank you in advance & I'm sorry I feel like I've asked this so many times by now

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

I promised you THOUGHTS on Lars Wingefors' ongoing attempt to rewrite the fabric of reality and position himself as a Very Good Guy, actually. Here they are alongside a personal anecdote I've been waiting to talk about for YEARS:

I would like to fully disappear into the forest, never to return

Super fucking cool that the Houston area is dominated by privatized freestanding emergency clinics that are legally disallowed from accepting Medicaid. What an awesome fucking system man our country is so fucking cool take that liberals FUCK

Had the bittersweet feeling yesterday of remembering that it feels really nice to just sit outside and not think about what tasks I have next or weird made-up computer problems I have to solve in order to Not Get Crushed by Capitalism.

I worked on a cute little cozy game with some pals ( @hippowombat.bsky.social , @burnrate.bsky.social, and @troupe.bsky.social ) this weekend. I've never done a game jam before, so I am super proud of what we did. Terrafarm! (burnrate.itch.io/terrafarm) 🤖🌿💧❤️ 🧵short thread 🧵

wow hey this really sucks

I have reached my yearly “thuggin it out” quota, I demand reprieve.

9 years ago while learning 3D/Unreal I posted this gif on Twitter and started a chain reaction that led me to working in video games for real. #gamedev

Hell yeah mesh clouds begone raymarching I rebuke you

Rune is very kindly making a gigantic contribution to the procgen community by sharing his exploration into erosion techniques. GPU-acceleratable, chunk-friendly erosion is a problem that has led me to mainly late nights, the info here is immense and thorough, please show him some love!

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

I can assure you that small/not-AAA studios are a decent chunk of casework and not immune to the bullshit the big companies can throw on workers. Sometimes they're worse!

🧵 How should we collectively deal with the potential indie gamedev community fracturing as tech platforms collapse? As I'm seeing people talking about ditching Discord (which I think is the right move) I worry about how established communities will transition.
