people say making video games is easy but i'm gonna be the one to go out and say i don't think it's that easy

A new sect may have been formed to capture the "whispers" in the woods for @ironwood.bsky.social's Pacific Drive expansion👁️‍🗨️ Thanks to the vancouver indie camp members, and uh sorry to the campers across the lake. ⛺ *Use headphones for a binaural experience

pretending i know how to make a 3d game

if u like pixel fonts i sell a huge fucking pack of them chevyray.itch.io ain’t that somethin

I think of Angeline Era's character art as "gestural" vertex colors: big blocks of gradients and hard edges that loosely gesture at finer details. They are often seen very small on the screen, so it helps them not appear over-detailed. But I also think it looks beautiful up close!

Funding: if your mid/large business uses Dear ImGui - and maybe you are approaching end of year budget/planning etc. - please consider reaching out (PM/email) so I can help you help Dear ImGui !

hmm maybe a 3d platformer with a palette shader?

every videogame should be one and a half hours long and should damage you irreparably

yeah cuz you are

cool interview with the developer of ZSNES... huge part of my childhood, definitely played a pretty big role in me wanting to learn how to make games

maybe a 3d platformer? (model is modified from: kenney.nl/assets/mini-...)

A really cool thing about C# (and Java) is that it can be easily decompiled, making modding a lot more accessible. It's interesting that even Minecraft agrees, now: www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...

i know i'm down a rabbit hole when i start coding my own parsers for random file types

hit me up if you have a project that you want help with that my skills are relevant to. I'm seeking work as more and more precarity approaches on my horizon. Things I have experience with: - Teach (programming, 2d / 3d art fundamentals, skateboarding, unicyling) - Program (C#, GDScript, JS, GML)

Melbourne was really cool! Awesome city, lovely people, hope to visit again some day. Next time I wanna see more outside the city on a longer trip

One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!

Somehow our little company turns 20 years old today. Time is weird! Thanks and <3 to everyone who has supported us over the years~

"When we release a game, we don't fully understand it, right? People playing it and talking about it we learn more about it and ourselves." @maddymakesgames.com + @noelfb.bsky.social share the story of CELESTE ahead of their talk at ACMI next week INTERVIEW: www.sifter.com.au/post/celeste...

Game Garden 2025 was a resounding success!! We had roughly 3300 attendees this year and even hit the ppl cap for some of the talks. If you attended, we have a short public feedback form available. Any and all feedback is appreciated! forms.gle/78u1aCRE8MCp... And now I am in HIBERNATION 💤

Vancouver Game Garden 2025 IS NOW OVER!! Thank you to all of our lovely attendees, exhibitors, and volunteers for making this event such a welcoming and fun time for gamers and game devs of all ages and walks of life. We’ll see you next year for more local indie games, art, and talks! 🌻✨

My kids enjoying the games on show at @vangamegarden.bsky.social.

cityofnone.com is at the @vangamegarden.bsky.social! Come by and play and check out a bunch of cool local games this weekend

genuinely, who cares? public services aren't businesses. it provides services that should be accessible to the entire population. it should not be expected to make that profitable. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

actually i changed my mind store.steampowered.com/app/2359120/... #gaming #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev #videogames

I stomp you... you stomp me?! O_O

I'm not gonna have time to make anything with this but I started on a tiny interactive web thing for Vancouver Game Garden using @pietepiet.com's art and LDtk (arrow keys): vangamegarden.com/events/02/ga...

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

I agree - I like the stakes it creates... the threat of losing everything is great. But I don't like that it pushes you into doing the same thing over and over in games about exploration.

Yesterday was the 10 year anniversary of the first Celeste classic run I felt like submitting to src :3

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

A C# thing I really like for custom editors is that you can automatically generate xml from your comments, and then load those at runtime and display them using reflection. So now code-comments are also editor docs/information:
