We’re 5 days into Next Fest, Pioneers! Thank you to everyone so far for playing the demo, sharing your feedback, or leaving a review. It means a lot to us! With only a few days left, we've shared another deep dive that talks about the Wonders, and why they matter in the game 👉 bit.ly/4uHJS7P

"This is a kids' game, and it's layering multiple currencies atop one another to obfuscate the cost of things, as well as using pop-ups, timer bars, and "buy" buttons to offer temporary boosts and, generally speaking, remove the game's in-built friction."

You know it's real when the launch trailer appears... Only 5 days until Echo Generation 2 is out! 🔥🚀 #EchoGeneration2 #deckbuilder #turnbased #turnbasedthursday #screenshotsaturday #CGA26

I wonder if the weather on Google street view affects housing prices.

#tbt to some #gamedev prototyping. Gravity, folding, and pushing/dragging blocks.

That sucks. I was so touched when Paste named A Fold Apart as one of the best 40 games in 2020. It was a bright spot after a project that had been incredibly draining.

Time sensitive: They need a web dev to help save their site!

@justinling.ca Great event tonight!

I still can’t get over the km long ramp at Confederation GO Station in Stoney Creek for people with mobility issues.

Ancient jokes are still THE BEST! 🤣🤪

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

I have done versions of this, prefaced my presentations saying that the visuals were placeholder, and still had people ask “so is this what the final version will look like?”

I’m so angry about this. I get that bureaucracy can be a nightmare but this is insane. It’s already nearly a decade behind schedule (with electrification promised in 2017, 2024, 2027 IIRC). Kicking something down the road 10 years is like planning to do nothing.

I lament how paper flipping never captured properly in GIFs because it happened too fast. I'll make a slow version to show it off because this new lighting looks so good and it looks even better in motion. #gamedev #gameart

So curious to see this. I learned about bitcoin in its first year, and the name “cryptocurrency” threw me off because it didn’t sound like real currency. I didn’t think any nation would give up its ability to manipulate its own currency or allow a shadow economy to develop.

Hey, Mighty Yell is 9 years old today. I wanted to feel energized and happy while working making games. That was the goal. So I made a place where employees get overtime back and put their health first. We haven't had any million-sellers but we're still fuckin goin'. Long live Mighty Yell.

I really like the idea of “skeleton as scaffold”

Yup. The team needed to be in sync with tech setting rules and both art and level design working within those constraints consistently. It’s a lot easier said than done - especially if the tech constraints create a brand new workflow. Kudos to them.

Found my Ill Communication CD, tossed it on. Thought years of streaming music had desensitized me, but my ears instantly recognized the good stuff. A funny reminder that as much as I'm sold HD and ULTRA HD streaming, it's an inferior product to tech from the 80s.

I haven’t baked bread in a month! Needed to get back into the habit. I didn’t mess around with the new bread pan and just used tiles and a water tray like I’m used to. Also, the poolish was 48hrs old and I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. Wouldn’t do that again though.

so AI is bad for countless reasons but I personally was not yet aware that "draft a man into a fictional conflict and stage a mass shooting" was one of those techcrunch.com/2026/03/04/f...

Another foreseeable disaster that we’re watching play out because people in power were/are hesitant to do anything about it.

"Man convicted of manslaughter after girlfriend dies hiking in winter storm" sounds insane until you get into the details. He put an inexperienced hiker into harm's way despite explicit warnings and waved away numerous attempts to rescue her! The punishment was too lax here, not too severe.

I’m seriously impressed by all the hard surface rigging on display here. #gameart #gamedev

This is maddening. Imagine finding out that you paid for a service that then just automated damage to your reputation without your permission or knowledge. Also I wonder if the support was AI or if it is outsourced to a company that is completely disconnected from anyone who can solve the problem.

Out on the ice of lake Nipissing at 1:30AM and I bring in a big catfish. My buddy notices that it has two lines in its mouth. At the other end of that line is my other fishing rod that got yanked down the hole before anyone could grab it - at 5PM earlier that day. Buddy knew we’d get ‘er back.

Here’s something you don’t get to say every day: Wishing our cousin Jessie Linton good luck at the 2026 Winter Olympics! She’s competing in Moguls/Dual Moguls for Team Canada 🇨🇦 We’re all so proud of her!

#gamedev and #gameart problems are just an opportunity to learn something new... and I feel like I am constantly learning... 😭

Canadian media is weird and I think we should throw more money at it.

This effect is a beautiful combo of 2D/3D

Pinterest is both a source and destination for Gen AI. As time goes on, it will become less and less useful due to Gen AI inbreeding. It’s already become way less useful to human users because the vast majority of search results are AI.

Way too young! I thought Catherine O'Hara would be around forever. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

The whole sales pitch for Gen AI is comical: a product to do a poor approximation of a thing the customer didn’t care about enough to learn. I’m sure they’ll be eager to pay for that thing that lets them do a lot more of that thing they have no passion for.

Yeah, it looked a bit like this. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #techart

This was a tricky workflow for lighting. The environment cameras had their own lighting and colour grading stack, and then the tabletop had its own sfx stack, and even if you put them all in the env scene to decorate, it never looked exactly like in-game. Lot's of trial and error. #gamedev #gameart

I love it when a dev takes the art form of videogames, and fully embraces the fact that "you can make anything". #gamedev #indiedev

David’s stuff is so good. You should hire him for your games. #gamedev #gameart #vfx

Did this on a whim and wasn't sure if individual foot shadows would make any difference. Originally, I tried to darken the big blob to make it more obvious, but it only looked good in some environments and bad in others. The individual foot shadows gave me what I needed everywhere. #gameart #gamedev

Sometimes I look at simple designs and I still catch myself thinking "obvious". I know better. Things that feel right can also feel obvious, and it takes a lot of work to make something that feels that right. #gamedev #gameart

Wish I had actively maintained connections when migrating to bsky. I was so disgusted with twitter/x that I stopped using it and then only dipped my toe in here. If you’re still on there because you’re afraid of losing that network, coordinate the move with them. They’re leaving anyway. #gamedev

This is because we made fun of Nic Robertson. We’re being punished for our winter hubris.

Last night, CTV National News parroted the US administration’s description of both Renee Good and Alex Pretti without telling viewers that there was video evidence disproving those narratives. When news orgs are willing to do things like that, it makes me question their other reporting.

Agreed. I saw the videos and this thread plus Bellingcat’s (linked) is a better way to catch up with what happened with the murder in MN. Just awful.

It was a Hawaiian blend with hints of hazelnut and coconut (hot and black). Good, but would be better iced in the summer. Also, the nice lady at House of Java recommended some peaberry coffee beans (they don’t split when roasting) that I’m looking forward to trying.

I accidentally spilled hot coffee on my sleeve and it froze instantly 😆. That convinced me I should probably cut my walk short and go back inside. Still a beautiful sunny day in Hamilton Ontario.
