there's a new 40 minute video essay about game mechanics, perfect for your lunch break. as I said to someone in the comments, I think *thinking about the definitions* is more helpful than actually having them... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkLm...

Ok everyone, we're doing another Godot XR gamejam! Starting the 16th of March, participants have a week to build a fun little Godot XR game! itch.io/jam/godot-xr...

... out of 44 treatment-seekers, 7 agreed to participate so Tiina interviewed them. Our surprise was great when all but one turned out to be *gamblers* -- it was a Heureka moment: the word ‘gaming’ in the leading scale didn’t exclude gambling. Alas, gambling is also a game!

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly. I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

how does blue prince keep going

A living proof that you can be a talented coder but not a smart person. A smart person cannot be dismissive of someone’s principles to the degree of calling them “vague cultural grounds”. A smart person can disagree, but if he’s not even entertaining a different POV as valid, he’s just a moron.

friends! acquaintances! help! i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks. know someone who's a good fit? pls forward this, ty! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/...

Best part of the game being past the demo point is that I can make all the cool stuff now, like proc gen maps for each river! We love a Slay the Spire style map in this house! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

My game, Cardaire, and Isle of Swaps have teamed up to make a discounted pack of our single-player card games! What TCG player doesn't love getting some 3-for-1 value?? Big thanks to @eternalskies.neocities.org for the idea store.steampowered.com/bundle/65947... #indiegame #cardgame #tcg

It could use some flipping animations, but what do we think of the book? #gamedev

how I feel playing a game about making number bigger

that's fair

my favorite part about having a cheap bluetooth dongle is that it randomly drops the headphone quality to an echoey bitcrushed fever dream

Ok so - 3 bosses implemented, core game loop in, playtesters giving feedback... with only one week left, time to finish it up, no? of course not! I made the inadvisable decision to implement 3 new unlockable classes for the player to choose between!
