this is what game development feels like

the reviews are in

I just got a doordash ad where kids on the car ride home look longingly at restaurants only to get home and have their parents order it with door dash you drove past the restaurant. thats not convince, thats waste.

As an indie game dev with a current budget of Nothing, there are multiple voices in our game. They're all pitch-shifted versions of myself making weird noises.

Not now, carnivorous death ball

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

So much I want to share but I must be patient ;^;

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Guards, induce dreadful nihilism in this man.

Affinity Studio (a rival to Adobe apps) is now free for all users. It's a great program, and free is a good price. I think this customer acquisition strategy aims to get you hooked on the product, and then new features end up requiring a subscription. Still, worth a look!

I've gotten an influx of new followers recently, so Salutations, to both old and new! If you want to learn more about His Royal Highness, just peep the pinned post on my profile. I'm not streaming these days, but I am working on a game dev project which is currently still in the Planning phase!

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Zohran Mamdani wins New York City mayor’s race.

Fuck Staten Island lmao

I have pittakionophobia, so no "I Voted!" sticker for me, but I did fill out my ballot while @renegademercury.bsky.social was visiting last month and @nakatija.bsky.social is dropping it off for me later today!

my #vgencomms are open again!!!! with 2 new services: fumo ych and monochrome lineart :D for the next 2 weeks everything is 15% off as well to celebrate getting verified!! vgen.co/palengrey

Is the genre you're exploring slopslop? I think it's only fair that if no one puts effort into making the game then no one should put effort into playing it, either.

I’m knocking 20% off for any takers

this is the wildest way to communicate your vision for the game design and what's hilarious is he actually did make it happen

A day or two late but THE EVENT IS HERE! WELCOME TO CREATE MONTH! You don't have to join the Discord to participate, but our server is open for anyone interested!) #CreateMonth2025

We are going LIVE on www.twitch.tv/caitlanvt doing VTSG playing some Ultimate Chicken Horse! with @princeraglan.bsky.social #Caitlansweep

Married her yesterday.

pro gamer tip ive seen happen a lot to fellow streamers. If something you stream doesnt work, ALWAYS have a backup game you can do. You'll do a lot better even if things aren't what you planned, instead of just outright ending your streams!

#Vtuber spotlights are now open for January. Looking for about 8 to 10 people to feature and at least 2 for the following theme: Knights and/or Vtubers who do Fire Emblem content. Trying out themes for the first time. Feel free to share, tag or comment below as it all helps me so much.

It's official! As revealed today at LRG3, the next Shantae game is currently in development. We'll have more details in the future, but for now, please check out this statement from series director @MrBozon.bsky.social.

GenAI is a lazy, plagiaristic crutch. It cannot produce art that speaks to the human experience because it is not human, it's at best an ersatz imitation. #GameDev already doesn't require a studio; it already takes vision, creativity, and the right tools. Gaming is already in the hands of creators.

It's insane how many Vtubers don't...respect artists. No sourcing when they post art, no credit on their pages, tracing other people's art, the list goes on.

Hey, I want to meet more fellow Vtubers! ✨ I'm an ice doggo princess from a kingdom in the cold north! But I have lots of warm cozy feels to share! Come say hello! 💙 #vtuber #vsky

Exclusive Halloween sale going on now! For an unlimited time, you can get Sery_Bot for your Twitch stream for FREE! No shipping and handling! Sale ends February 30th, 3299, while supplies last. docs.sery.bot/how-to-add/

my friend Grace is the woman who stood up to the guy in the Nazi SS uniform in those viral videos youve probably seen- he broke her nose with a beer stein - please share & donate and give her a hand with medical expenses, recovery and potential expenses gofund.me/72cb1a415

There's little that feels better while making a game than the serendipity of wanting a feature, the engine you're using having native support for it, and it kinda Just WorkingTM out the box #GameDev

Pumpkin Carving stream was super fun! Albeit short but I have to get these pumpkin seeds roasted 😋

I'm gonna be that person: If you draw adult art, I have 0 issue with that, but you NEED to mark it as adult content. Many of us don't consent to it automatically and would like to click to open it. I should be able to open my phone in public. Also, censored art should STILL be marked the same.

If anyone thinks they might be able to help, in any way, please feel free to DM me here or on Discord. I'm still pretty desperate.

Trying this again! This time with hopefully better results! I'm competing with @princeraglan.bsky.social and @caitlan.lewdtuber.network in VTSG's championship season! The first week's game is Distance, my favorite racing game. We start in 10 minutes! www.twitch.tv/mettikandroid #18+ #vtuber

I think historically this stems from the freeware scene in Europe lining up with Sonic's intense European popularity! For anyone interested in learning more, I highly recommend Replay by Tristan Donovan, which is a video game history book covering ~1940-2010. www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/r...

It's the year of our lord 2025 and I'm only just now actually learning about/using shaders 💀

Any of my UK moots know somewhere I can move with relatively short notice? I'm really getting kinda desperate here.

Publishers and developers really can be good at pulling the wool over people's eyes, sometimes. It's super easy to hear a producer talk about the balooning costs of game development and think about how they have *no choice* but to raise prices or add microtransactions. They'll talk about inflation

I'm LIVE with even more Slay the Princess because this game has a stranglehold on my life. We have a few more routes to find, so let's try and do that today! 🔴 twitch.tv/theproloe #VTuber #ENVTuber #VSky #vtlive #goinglive #slaytheprincess #slaytober
