Let her cook!

here's an example of the position/rotation coupling - rotating a control point will make the positional path bend along with it in a really neat harmonious way! this is very different from when positions and rotations are treated independently, which can often feel stiff and oddly decoupled

What a remarkable human, and what a remarkable thing to know that she passed bemused at reading her own eulogies. Rest in peace, Rebecca. Thank you for everything.

Very happy for my first ever Arabic Games Conference at @arabic.games and ofc it will be all in Arabic! متحمس كتير كتير كتير عهالفرصة!!!

This is bullshit. "absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground. "how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.

The moment you realize you should get out of here… but it’s too late #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Things have been quiet on purpose, but The Arab League of Misfits is in "reconstruction" mode at the studio with mechanics tightened, cards rebuilt and jokes sharpened. The lid stays on for now, but we can give you a glimpse at the finalized game logo, courtesy of the talented Ibrahim Hamdi.

Do what you need to do to be less desperate: - You can work on your skills and get better - Work a part-time job (No shame in that) - Have a side-hustle - Study! Whatever makes you less desperate makes you more hirable. Full Ep: youtu.be/w4qlCjrY9TQ #gamesindustry #gamedev

Just dropped a new EP with Tech Artist @josephazzam.bsky.social on building the Arabic Games, and about his journey fixing an automatic plants watering system. Don't ask. just watch! Full Episode: lnkd.in/dE5dQV_r

How game-dev feels like at some times. youtu.be/W3OK9A_RbSI?...

Ya'll are not gonna believe this, i'm working on a butterfly effect for a game, my cat jumped on the screen and started playing... I think the effects is done! Got art-directed by a cat, my job is awesome?!

Two years ago, I played a much earlier build of DOG WITCH, and I just really haven't stopped playing or talking about it since. Incredibly excited for @heckmouse.bsky.social to see this clever little masterwork announced properly.

It is not misconduct to unionize, and I hope that Rockstar and Take-Two face serious legal challenges for what seems to be a very clear-cut case of union-busting.

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.

We have an exciting update! We have just launched the Creator Discovery feature! On AbleToPlay, you could already find games that match your accessibility needs — now you can take it one step further and discover inclusive, accessibility-focused creators who do the same!

I agree

Got a rejection letter? Don't take it personally. Steven Cheung explains why it's almost always a business decision and how reacting the wrong way can actually end up harmful. Full Ep: youtu.be/sV0zIpnHOSo #GameJobs #CareerAdvice #VFXArtist

Your portfolio IS crucial, but it's NOT the whole story. Steven Cheung talks about the unspoken factor that studios REALLY care about, and it’s not just your technical skill. Full Ep: youtu.be/sV0zIpnHOSo #GameDev #VFXCareers #Gaming

Ever since I went bald, I've been waiting to be cast in a C&C game and it will never happen.

If you can watch this and still don’t see why the games industry might need a serious reboot, maybe it’s time to stop and think about it.... youtu.be/YBlBvwGcefs?... #gamesindustry #gamedev #indiegame

"AI regulation is a complex topic" IDK man, if a hacker joins every CS competitive match people either: 1- Ban them. 2- Stop playing You choose

The Trump administration is once again seeking to meddle with our streets to make buses slower, worsen congestion and pollute our air.

You miss 100% of the shots you don take. If you have that draft email that you did not send yet go ahead and just do it! You got this!

What's this? An actually reasonable, explanatory, clearly understandable take on what AI can and can't be reasonably expected to do (and how the "AI" that works has actually been in tools for years already)? GOSH Anyways this is real good

I will say that nothing is more baffling to me than the industry standard that we teach developers about publishing by having them listen to talks and panels by publishers. It's like fiscal responsibility taught by a loan shark, privacy taught by Google, or human rights taught by Israel.

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

2 major news for Blanksword's Kickstarter campaign: - WE'RE 90% FUNDED with only 4500€ left to meet our goal! - We extended the campaign's duration by 1 week, meaning we have 14 DAYS LEFT to not only reach our funding goal but try to meet our first stretch goal! GO GO GO GO!!!!

If you ever were wondering about the relation of Effects and Game-Feel this is a nice visual summary form @andremc.bsky.social (check them out)

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

Our industry doesn't lack talent it lacks novelty. True novelty doesn't come from more powerful GPUs. It comes from us, our messy, beautiful, wildly different human experiences. Last Saturday at Game Dev Days Graz, I gave a talk "No Diversity? No Games! Why inclusion is no longer optional."

Aye! Was great having you. I'm fully on board when it comes to diversity and inclusion. And I am of the belief that we have to be radical about these efforts (I don't see it happening otherwise). The games industry (and other creative industries), and societies in general.

Novelty is in urgent need of funding or the entire industry will be butchered. @glassbottommeg.bsky.social also pointed it out better, recently. "VCs dont give a shit about innovation, just about numbers go up" (sorry, paraphrased it)

I was just ranting to my bf that we get taught abstract concepts without practical use in school, generating zero interest in math, at least for me. How sad I am now that I didn't listen and how enthusiastic would I have been if we had used it for something like building a game in school!

Definitely resonates with me. I think the reason I became such a math geek is I was beginning to make my own games in secondary school — even in stuff as primitive as QBASIC — so I saw each new lesson through the lens of "what games does this enable me to make?" Parabolas? Ooh, tank game ballistics!
