I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Here's Townseek, our relaxing exploration-trading game where you travel the world, discover landmarks, trade with towns, fish, mine, farm, and more, as you seek the lost legacy of Sir Reginald Sharkingston! 🦈 We've been working on it as a team for almost four years now! 🐳 #indiedev #gamedev #steam

The animation change half way through is killing me

Lu's concepts are always excellent foundations to work with, so we work very hard to represent them 1:1 in game with our voxel art style 💪🐰

New on GMTK - let's talk about the power of prototyping - youtu.be/8tHJgtbj6rs

people think being a videogame producer is about making schedules and checking in, but it's actually about getting on your hands and knees to beg the trans witches who code your games to use their mental illnesses for good and to get on a call with each other instead of 100+ slack msg threads

Been thinking about this. My therapist recently said I'm showing signs of burnout. 🙇 It's so weird. I love making games, and want to continue exploring and programming new ideas, but I feel like I'm back at stage zero in experience and motivation. Guess I'll have to climb all the way back up again.

Happy Halloween! 🌙 It’s the witching hour, and something wicked is brewing! 🧙‍♂️ Sorcerer Moe and his sidekick Whiskey are mixing dreadful candy corn into the magical pot so that- wait, what? Blubbie?! That’s not a jacuzzi! 🛁 Ah well, anything goes in Whaloween night! 🎃

These are still one of the greatest honours of my life. Incredibly grateful to those at SRG that allowed me to make these, and each of the 180-or-so devs who took part in these physical indie game compilation Mixtapes. Hope to revisit the concept again some time. ❤️

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Honestly, after our game is done, I'm not quite sure what my future in the games industry is going to be. I love making games, but the process with Townseek has left me scarred from a lot of things that are just accepted as normal in the industry, having to work with deficit, and many other things.

Got a bunch of stuff done today on this tiny platformer I'm working on...... (with some cool M64 placeholder sounds hehe) ✅Checkpoints ✅Health zone ✅Lil guys to stomp on Gonna try working on an actual character model next

Every town needs a good mayor! And Lawride Town settled with the one they could find. 😅 The Mayor is well intentioned and has been in office for decades. But good luck trading with him when the bandits come to visit. 💦
