While the player can transform any object in my game into a NPC But happens if you make one of the NPCs, already in my game, come to life? While it is SUCH a minor feature to add in Rhell, i think the destroyed form of each NPC is one of my favourite little details #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

a great post by @mikejudge.bsky.social where he put together secondary metrics on AI coding that equate to travolta-coat.gif mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

I say "I don't know... that's scary..." a lot because of this comic

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

All the money in the world can't buy you media literacy.

you claim to respect my time yet you're giving it away to a coyote.... interesting

this is quite impressive, I'm a LITTLE jealous

To be clear, it's exactly as janky as "sprawling first person melee imsim made by mostly one guy" sounds, but while it might not be polished there's nothing else really like it. I mean you can inject yourself with a healing stim and then throw the used stim needle like a knife.

tom clancy's splinter cell game where it's increasingly apparent that the gov you spy on behalf of is no longer just status-quo profoundly immoral but also compromised by right wing ideology to the point of being literally nonfunctional, unable to sustain a black op at all but running them anyway

we saw you from across the bar, and we saw you from across the city, and we saw you from across planes of reality, and we saw you when all life was beginning and when the faintest cinder finally surrenders to entropy, and all moments in between and beyond, and we really like your vibe

Bro, the absolute game dev dream that your studio is financially independent enough to adopt Scope Creep as your production methodology…

Incredible quote from Team Cherry. Can't believe they make games like this

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

I wrote about how foolish and short-sighted this whole debacle is, how it will make games worse and do precisely nothing to protect vulnerable women.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. freedomtobuy.games

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

If you missed out on this period in the evolution of indie rogue-like-like-likes, we made a permanent bundle just for you! (PS: Look how cute @mossmouth.bsky.social made the FTL slug!)

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

I just wanted somewhere to post my weird gay video games. Why can’t they leave us alone

every person yelling at itch in the replies makes me want to go feral man. you are pushing the small guy around because it's the easier target. get mad at the right person for a fucking change.
