FIRST EVER UZDOOM RELEASE IS HERE! HOORAY!

🐭if you ever feel like you're "cheating" at art because you do digital art and have 1000 layers and undo constantly or whatever, just remember there's guys out here cheating at art by just making the computer do the whole picture for them. use those layers!!! (as long as you have the RAM for it)

Can any one spot me $80 to buy a bedframe please? It's almost half off & I've been sleeping on a shitty mattress for a year. I know there are so many others who have bigger needs, but if there's someone who has an abundance of resources, I could really do with a new bed 💜 ko-fi.com/beaeli

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

Today is the day! Make some phone calls to Visa and Mastercard if youre able to and keep it going as much as you can muster until monday!

Winter

autumnalpaca.carrd.co venmo: AlpacaWax #mutualaid #helpsky #helpfolkslive2025 ♥️🫂 20/120 Shelter due by 11am TODAY. More does more, more helps me stay safe with snow coming and figure out a van solution. But the daily is needed if nothing else. Thank you so much!

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR. Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again

Y'know, I made a bullet hell that didn't try much to appeal to newcomers but did have an artstyle that apparently got newcomers interested, not so much existing bullet hell fans, because it happened to be what I wanted to make. Result: Newcomers complained it was too hard, genre veterans ignored it.

Hey guys. I hate that it got to this point but my account is in the red rn and I have more expenses coming up that I need to deal with before pay day. So any and all help would be greatly appreciated #mutualaid #helpsky ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go...

"Epic CEO angry that customers want to be informed and will refuse to purchase products they feel were made unethically so wants to take that choice away". There, fixed it for you.

Can we direct some help towards Juno please universe ?? 🙏🙏🙏 She deserves her HRT, internet and cell phone. She deserves to live. If she loses internet she will be cut off from the world entirely w/o a way to raise funds! #HelpSky #MutualAid #TransCrowdFund linktr.ee/junostump

People don't dislike Tim Sweeney nearly as much as they should.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

The boss bringing out Pizza might as well be Defcon 1 (or whatever) for places like this. Please keep calling! Especially the next 5 days!

I have a week until rent needs to be paid and I'm currently £715 short ⚠️ If 15 people were to sign up for an annual membership to my patreon I would be covered and you would get 16% off and access to hundreds of recipes and artworks with more to come.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

Totally ludicrous that steam is happy to allow its monopolistic store to be flooded with waves of tasteless, tacky bullshit, including borderline scams, and yet will bring itself to intervene when a game's artistic sensibilities don't align with their incredibly vague, nondescript values

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Despite the game in question managing to run at an unstable 12-ish FPS, parts of Kiloblaster are written in assembly. Additionally, while I wasn't as confident in remembering exactly which part, I did double check and what I'd thought I'd remembered was right: It has to do with the input handler.

Hey authors! Check to see if Anthropic stole your book to train their slop generator on. You’re entitled to $1500 per stolen Work. Look up your work, and if you’re in the database, file a claim secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

They stole nine of my books. Nine! But why not Doppelganger? Not good enough for these mass doppelganger machines?

I cannot stress enough that your calls — and your social media posts — on this issue DO matter and WILL impact things long-term But you have to call

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

To add onto this, Jaquays also was involved in video games, particularly with Coleco early on and later with Quake and Age of Empires. I wrote about one of her projects, Tarzan, a while ago (sadly not long after she passed away, so I couldn’t interview her too): gamehistory.org/atari-2600-t...

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

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

Something about the tutorialization/hand-holding discourse is that *what* you choose to tutorialize and *how* you choose to do it affects the game's contract with the player.

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success. Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them. Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

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!

help my friend today!

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

the reason people still want to go indie and put themselves at tremendous risk is not wanting to put up with this kind of shit anymore. it's completely insane and completely humiliating how normal it is for companies like this to put people through all kinds of weird torture to prove their worth

as we head into the holiday season, it's important to remember that NSFW creators are still being censored by online platforms and especially payment processors. this is a wonderful time to see how you can support our fellow developers & creators: stop-paypros.neocities.org

mäde a video gaëm

My friend made a game go play it

Just finished my game!! It's a small, 10-minute twin stick shooter called SCHÜT. Kill an exponential amount of enemy waves as you get showered with upgrades and try to reach the killscreen. You can play it directly from your browser: dwimepon.itch.io/sht

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

🦝Steam said "no magical animals" and "no humanized animals" but yet their sale has them anyways?? so we're hosting a spite sale on itch only where you can get Blobun for a nice $6.99! See the forbidden walking talking animals Steam doesn't want you to see itch.io/s/167288/mag... #gamedev #indiedev

also sorry I am never going to call deduction games “metroidbrainias”. sorry. I am open to other terms but not to that one
