I'm headed to #DevelopBrighton from Tues - Thursday so hit me up for a chat if you need one freelance person that is an: -art director -technical artist -VFX artist -environment artist -game & level designer -indie that has shipped 2 solo titles -all or one of the above

Outside his film work, Sam Neil was also a great conservationist, working to help protect the environment, not just in this home of Central Otago, but all of New Zealand. Down to earth, compassionate, understanding, his support in that area will be sorely missed

So close to overwhelming positive. If you've played the game, help us confuse Steam even more.

Sam Neill is dead? Oh that one hurts me right in my stomach.

A reminder to live your life in such a way that the internet doesn’t burst into spontaneous, meme-fueled celebration when you die.

I know this whole "extinction burst" thing was thrown around regarding recent politics but wow I didn't realise how literal that was going to become.

I do perhaps declare that the football might well be coming home.

IT’S COMING HOME

Woooooooo!~ 😁

YES. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Guys PolyArmory was so good 😭💕🫶

Polyarmory is free btw. Play it. Love it. Review it.

Since the spring of 2023, I have been creating a non-violent art museum in Doom. My goal was to find art that engaged with the themes that informed Doom's creation, while also exploring the possibilities of virtual museum spaces. Please enjoy this museum. Download link below

There are two distinct strains of 'Doom with thousands of enemies'. The most common is 'precision shmup-like nightmare endurance challenge', but there's a few that turn it into a wild power fantasy. Space Cats Saga puts the Cat in Catharsis.

Chilling with my favourite extinct animal today.

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

Gamedev in the streets, layoffs in the sheets.

There is one NPC in every Soulsborne game that is beloved by the entire playerbase and it’s the “guy who is enthusiastic to be there”

I mean this exactly how you psy-op this stuff - if you're an AI in games business etc it's super beneficial for you if everything, even better wrongful things, are marked as AI as it creates confusion & distrust to the marking system, and makes the feel of AI hegemonic. Expect more of this!

I was reminded recently that Hypnospace is in a book, 50 Indie Games that Changed The World, and that's something to be incredibly ridiculously proud of. We're in the presence of giants here, historical works of interactive art. Wild. Thanks y'all, for playing <3 www.bitmapbooks.com/products/50-...

A bunch of systems started to come together on our first @stupendiumsoftwork.bsky.social title this week. It's starting to really feel like something special and stupendously premium. Feeling pretty darn confident we're going to pull this whole thing off.

Listen I know things are Bad in the industry rn, and those feelings are very real and SHOULD be expressed. But don't get drunk on them! Don't sit around morose saying "something should change." DO SOMETHING. Start mentoring! Join a union! Get organizing! You gotta walk the walk, too!

Pushing Balatro to naneinf. @adef.bsky.social was not messing around in this run! #SGDQ2026

Our simply smashing audio designer @jenbles.bsky.social has done a post about their experiences of making sound for games over the last two years! There's also a pretty fun video for you to watch too!💡 stupendiumsoftworks.com/audio-design...

Is destroying every last one of you wildly successful products at the source and invoking unanimous public hatred against you and your company what makes a good executive

Aw man Star City is so good. What a bittersweet finale. Roll on Season Two! 🚀

oh dear god

Satire is dead

So, @polyarmorygame.bsky.social is 10 Steam reviews off of 500 - a very nice milestone that (would currently) get us the coveted "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating. If you've played and not yet left a review, please do! Our bit-that-got-out-of-hand game hitting that would make our days.

Folks have asked us, "Why didn't you charge for this game, it's so good!?" Because, Dear Reader, indie games are very hard to market. Especially a game like ours. Love the guns. Cherish the guns. Don't think about your ex-wife. Play Polyarmory. store.steampowered.com/app/4220820/...

Videogame development is a totally normal career path for very serious people.

No gamedev I've ever seen in 11 years on the job was lazy. I've seen overambitious, stubborn, egotistical, short-sighted, or just plain scatterbrained devs, but no one was ever lazy. No such thing as a dev who did not care deeply, painfully, wholeheartedly about their game.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

🎵Would you want to see Hypnospace Outlaw, live in concert?🎶 We're considering running a series of concerts featuring Jay Tholen, the Chowder Man and more Register your interest here: forms.gle/FyBheY4RWBxe...

not now kitten, the vibes in the gaming industry are so wretched that daddy is one minor inconvenience away from crashing out

Back on my Babylon 5 binge.

gamers think devs put in fan-service to get more sales out of them. no. It's not true. I put it in there for me. that's MY twink with a dump truck ass thank you very much

Tomorrow we smash things for work this rules.

Binface winning that by-election would be the funniest thing we could do as a collective population. They'd never be able to recover from that. It'd be more devastating than a lettuce and bacon sandwich combined.

Oddity Roadshow is back!! sites.libsyn.com/442083/episo...

knowing an issue exists isn't the same as being able to solve the issue

This is painful. The ramifications of this bloodbath will last for decades.

every fucking name generator is AI now. I don't need to create chemical runoff for a name generator. I want a little form put together by a random guy fifteen years ago that puts together vaguely themed words. I know I sound like "guy yells at cloud" but I'm going to yell at this fucking cloud
