It's cool the way Autodesk won't let me run my discontinued MayaLT any more. But it still kindly leaves about 8 things running in my task manager, and all this crap installed! #autodesk #blender3d

Started to put together some tools to record video etc. Still taking ages to get good video footage. And get sidetracked by "nice" screenshots: #prot #gamedev #unity3d

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful! While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!

Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025! If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at [email protected] with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku. Rules next. Reposts appreciated!

Ctrl Alt Ego is one of the most freeform games in the genre. Set in a very 60s/70s British sci-fi future made of cheap plastic and exposed electronics, you're a ghost conciousness hopping between robot bodies. Very physics-driven with MANY solutions to each problem. Huge replay value. Sequel in dev

Zoom out to get a better look at your surroundings in PROT. COME WISHLIST! (please) store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Stop sulking and eat your damn banana!

Each version of Unity is like a pet cat: you have to live with it for a while to discover its idiosyncracies. It was only after a few hours I found that little Unity 6 had a major issue with crapping on physics performance. #unity3d

PROT at sunset collecting rocket components #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

#PitchYaGame www.gingercrab.com/prot.html PROT must build and fuel a rocket ship in order to save Cass's family stranded across various moons. Gather resources, solve puzzles and interact with various quirky inhabitants of the moons, deciding what to bring with you on your adventure!

Few have visited Cat island. But of those few, all agree, it does look somewhat like a cat. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #unity3d #cats

In PROT finding the family's precious items is part of the discovery. You can recycle the items for resources IF YOU WANT. #prot #unity3 #gamedev #unitydev #indiedev

Always a happy occurrence in Unity. Keydown - yeah process that bastard.

Why do birds suddenly appear? Um, cos I collected a shit load. #screenshotsaturday #unity3d #indiedev #blender #birds Come wishlist PROT: store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/...

Although visuals aren't the "main thing" in PROT, trying to add some atmosphere with (hand-rolled) volumetric lighting. Do follow on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... #indiedev #gamedev #steam #unity3d #blender

Dot and Dash are special birds. Come wishlist to find out more... store.steampowered.com/app/2939200/... (I wrote some hacky code to (roughly) analyse the audio files of Bird and synchronise beak movements) #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d #screenshotsaturday #chirp

Before Cyclopean, I made another green, monochrome game called Aberration Analyst. Work strange hours, and investigate monsters with incomplete and unreliable information in this point and click simulation. #IndieGame #GameDev #PointandClick #MonsterHunter
