Regarding the rebranding of GDC, someone unearthed a very interesting slide deck.

Spoiler: they haven't changed the game.

Finished Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip. I got to be honest, the game is one big fetch quest, and towards the end it was starting to be a bit tedious. But the humour keeps it fresh. There's virtually no challenge so it can be played by kids too. Really nice and hilarious game!

The parallels between Trump and Berlusconi are so many I'm losing count 😅 Let's see: Right wing ✅ Construction entrepreneur who made the initial fortune with the involvement of mafia ✅ Became known to the masses using their own TV program/channel ✅ ...

My new @coherence.io video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkZu... Hopefully it should demonstrate how easy it can be to network the behaviours of: driving a vehicle, let players take and exchange authority over it, and to even drive a passenger around. ... with coherence, I mean! ;) #networking #unity3d

i'm in the "stare angrily at a ui mockup for hours" phase of this project and i'm mad about it.

#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

I just got myself this game: youtu.be/0q0ptnmtaAA?... (haven't launched it yet) ... solely based on this trailer. I don't want to know anything about it, might be good, might be not, but the art and humour are luring me in.

Good luck to the Global Sumud Flotilla. www.ilpost.it/2025/09/13/p... Crazy that initiatives like this are even needed.

I find it hilarious that Il Post (the newspaper I read), in this article about analysing the scientific feasibility of Trump and Musk's claim of going to Mars; nonchalantly opens the article with an image from Guzzanti's comedy movie "Fascisti su Marte" ("Fascists on Mars") and no comment about it 🤣

GBjam 13 has begun, and this year's secret theme is: UNLUCKY! This is the illustration I made with @lafontaine-dl.bsky.social, under @polyducks.co.uk 's direction, for the web page. Are you participating in the jam this year?

Today I stumbled upon this slides deck that I had prepared for an event a while ago. I was asked to share my process when preparing technical presentations as a developer advocate docs.google.com/presentation... (at the time it was Unity, though I don't think my style has changed at coherence) ...

Super Mario Galaxy movie... *starts with music from Super Mario World*

Almost every time Hornet uses her poncho as a parachute in Silksong, I burst out laughing, cause all I can picture is this as she awkwardly waits to touch ground again

Yesterday I managed to release a new tool for Unity (making a trailer is always the hurdle). Thoughts? youtu.be/UJH5nK1Koac?... #unity3d #gamedev

This absolute queen got officially voted in today. I'm overjoyed. Lithuania gets the most left-wing PM of any post-Soviet country. A new generation of rad, new left trade unionists. International support and coverage is a must, she's such a beacon of hope. 💞 www.politico.eu/article/poli...

Are you making a game with Unity? Would you like to ship on consoles whilst keeping costs down & minimising the pain of platform submissions? PlatformLayer from Darbotron Ltd can help with that! PlatformLayer has shipped in 8 games across 8 platforms - most of these passed submission first go...

I was reading this 2-part article (pt.1 www.gamesindustry.biz/the-big-pict...). Three people analysing "the game industry". They talk about Fortnite, Sony, MS, Roblox, live games, GTA, subscriptions giving out free games… sustainability, game size, innovation, blah blah blah… Then it struck me…

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

Interesting question, and so many good suggestions in the replies!

We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

It's so beyond me why people still watch that guy Geoff's game livestreams (sorry, can't remember his surname). Everyone in my timeline is commenting on it. But then the next post is "how did the game industry get to this". Hello?

This is really well explained 👇🏻

I wrote about AI. I'm sorry. coppolaemilio.com/entries/what...

Forgot to mention: this year we'll actually have a booth! You can find coherence in Hall 4.1, as part of the Swedish Pavilion. (but not me 😭) #gamescom25

We're excited to announce that applications are open for the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant 2025 🎉 The grant will award $15,000 to five thinky puzzle game developers from all over the world, and a year's mentorship with genre veterans. Deadline: September 28th More info 👇 grants.draknek.org

I haven't been posting much about @coherence.io in the last few months, for a simple reason: I'm on leave! But the team has been hard at work like usual, and churned out one version after the other.

Watching kids play Roblox is heartbreaking. So many hours spent on absolutely mindless garbage games, in fetch quests, repetitive tasks, on top of that perpetrating all the stereotypes you'd expect to thrive in the internet culture. And spending tons of money in them. It's SO bad.

Does anyone know someone who are involved with Norwegian game preservation or video game history? #GLAM #DigiPres

I still see too many nature photographers and scientists (re)posting hideous gen A/I images. Blatantly among their own real human-made nature photos or articles. If you’re not aware, there’s a labeler meant for identifying A/I imagery: @aimod.social. You can report posts or accounts yourself too.

Just a reminder, I love making item art for games. If you think you'd need some for your game, please get in touch.

First two picks

My timeline full of indie devs announcing their games coming out on Nintendo Switch is the best thing ever.

✨BREAKING NEWS ✨HERDLING is coming Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Epic Game Store and Steam on AUGUST 21 2025 Release Date Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvho...

UFO 50 out on Switch today !! 😍 If you're interested in game design, this collection is a MINEFIELD of ideas and innovation. It's so interesting to see the rankings of the collection, and how much they vary between individuals

It's funny. ChatGPT itself "thinks" the AI bubble is soon going to burst, that there's going to be a hard reset with few surviving companies. Also, it "thinks" that betting everything on LLMs is a mistake.

🎉LUDOCENE LAUNCHED 🎉 So excited (and nervous) to send our game-finder into the world. Ludocene.com If you want a better way to find amazing games that rewards experts and is in the hands of players, this is our shot. Thank you to the 1000's backers and supporters.This is just the beginning.

Sam Altman has got to the point where he doesn't even bother to describe stuff anymore. "Uhh yeah sometime you'll have a thingy that will do stuff. And wow will it be good!"

Becoming Saint is now available on Steam, with discounts, bundles, and also a *supporter edition* with high-res funny assets, some of which decorate this announcement release thread - so get that! 😝 Thank you all for playing and hopefully leaving a review on Steam! 😇

If you're going to #Devcom or #Gamescom '25, there's train construction work that could affect you. If you're staying in Düsseldorf, the S6 would've been one of the trains you'd take straight to the conference. Now, it's endstation is Köln Mülheim and you'll need to get an additional tram.

Hot take but this was the best button layout design and regressing back to the SNES layout post-gamecube sucks actually

My Unity extension, BlackBox, is 50% off as part of the Asset Store Summer Sale. If you happen to deal with complex Prefabs (many children, deeply-nested, etc.) this might be for you! bit.ly/blackbox_as #unity3d #gamedev

In my effort to distract 12/9 yo nephews from the garbage that is Roblox, I sometimes tell them about Good Games® and draw the characters for them. (it's hardly feasible to actually let them play the games) One of them loved Pikmin, so she asked me to draw "a lot of Pikmin holding the text Pikmin"

This is the funniest thing. I hope it works! (still have to try it)

I really enjoyed this piece about the Iraqi bluffing game mheibes. It's pretty amazing- one person on a team of 50 is secretly holding a ring. The opposing captain looks into each of their eyes. Then he has ONE GUESS who has the ring (and in which hand!!!) www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 After 4 years of work, my solarpunk game finally has a title, a trailer, and a Steam page! Wishlist... Future? No Thanks! 👉 futurenothanks.com

yo, have some time available starting the 18th of August 🤙🏻
