Will be reviving an old machine from PC parts I had. Ordered HDD, PC case and CPU cooler which was about ~178 GBP. Will be used as a media server. Cant wait #selfhosting #linux

I truly and naively thought DeFi and crypto would be fundamentally a shift against the current boomer state of finance, held by the richest and wealthiest to control the people. Unfortunately, just like boomer finance, it has ended up being a scam due to the same corruption, greed and insider […]

Since my game is an Idle game. You could potentially just leave your character running in the background. But I also want to reward players for being active so Im creating mini games for melee combat for example to do more damage for monsters. I have ideas for […] [Original post on techhub.social]

I've been a KaplayJS fan for a while but I saw this new game engine called usagi being released for 1.0 and it seems cool too! It's a lua based game engine https://youtu.be/H93_BXi19SQ #gamedev #gameengine #lua

Solo devs are spending close to $100k? What now? 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkoiB4Ft4j0 #gamedev

Can we stop calling game PUBLISHERS game DEVELOPERS? Its very confusing and very misunderstood. Its the start of why so many individual developers within a game studio get mobbed. Did publishers do this on purpose? Redirect anger at developers rather than the business folk who actually control […]

Fellow aspiring and current game devs, lets inspire each other to work on our passions! Following and engagement is the best way here on the fediverse 😄 #gamedev

Progress on Jet: "tiny, dependency-free, fixed-function 3D rasteriser written in modern C++17. It is designed to run on low-performance embedded hardware" github.com/CubeCoders/Jet #retrodev #esp32 #coding #programming #demoscene #embedded #GraphicsProgramming

What even is real on the internet anymore? "Agentic" bullshit. Imagine paying tokens for psuedo DDOS attacks lol #internet

Upgrading to fedora 44. May the upgrade gods be with me. #linux #Fedora

Over 100,000 people and 67+ organizations are standing up to Google's attempt to lock down Android. Join the fight for a truly open mobile ecosystem. https://keepandroidopen.org @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen

Why is that once I've finally found the time and passion for game dev, I'll be really busy for work in a few weeks 😅 One day, im gonna figure this out...one day...

Possibly controversial. You're allowed criticise Gabe despite advancing Linux gaming. Telling people he's "allowed to buy yachts" just because the internet collective likes him is misunderstanding the problems of steam.

Im getting inspired with other games I play right now. I remember watching a game dev on youtube and they said, you need to play more games. It didnt hit until now how important that is for your game to be FUN #gamedev

Another work day, another day to mention "AI". Exhausting... #noai

The fact that Im seeing game engines being written in lua in 2026 makes me think Lua is some kind of cult classic language to use? #lua #programming #gameengine

What the heck, this idle game is actually pretty damn fun https://llamalegends.com/ #idle #games

Been working on anonymous and discord logins (Yeah, I dont like discord either but gamers are going to game where comfortable). Plugging in drizzle-orm with this etc. Getting to learn how drizzle manages db migrations too. Its interesting! #gamedev #indiedev

From a holistic point of view. Even with AI in our industry, the basis hasn't changed. If software maintenance, quality, conventions, documentation and architecture is complete shit, so is the code AI introduces. If anything, AI has amplified the need for these aspects of software to be well […]

Finally in the midst of adding an actual persistence layer, something I've been putting off really 😂 Will be adding drizzle-orm + postgres #gamedev #mmorpg

Always had dreams to be able to have the capacity to work on whatever project I like where there are users for it. Complete freedom of roadmap, product and time. I think that would be the complete dream for me. Content creation could be the way but now its infinitely hard to isnt it 😅 #gamedev

A nice sweet update to Regulators for it's one year anniversary! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qhl... #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

RE: https://mastodon.social/@wavedashdotcom/116654191691678601 Great opportunity for those into creating web based games! Consider creating one using KAPLAY! Tried and tested for quick prototyping, perfect for game jams! https://kaplayjs.com #gamedev #gamejam #kaplay

Wavedash #springjam26 begins tomorrow at 9 AM PST. $4,150 in prizes, 63 hours to build a cool browser game. Theme revealed at start. Full details at discord.wavedash.com.

Only the fediverse can give me a level of personability when asking questions and such. Its great to be part of a social network that thrives purely because we actually want to be here of no cost. Particularly the game dev community for me #fediverse #gamedev

I love this haha. Showing all activities possible in Frax: Rupture. For pixel art game fans and those who relish in the era of retro MMORPGs #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

A game with foundation level mechanics and no "soul" put it into is no game at all. I miss Easter eggs, random events, random NPC encounters, whacky ideas. I need to COOK #gamedev

🐧 **Despite the significant price increase, the Steam Deck is already sold out in certain regions** You've no doubt by now seen the rather surprising increase in the price of the Steam Deck OLED, but that doesn't seem to have stopped people buying them all up.Read the full article on […]

Im currently randomly generating the skies/clouds. Should I set the skies based on time of day in: - Client local time - Game local time - Keep it Random #gamedev #indiedev

I'm currently looking into a fediverse instance I fit into within mastodon. I love Linux, programming, coffee and currently fitting in game dev in my out of hours hobby. Any recommendations? #linux #coffee #programming #gamedev #fediverse

Software developers in the fediverse. I am quite exhausted from: - reviewing AI raised MRs/PRs - AI reviewed MRs/PRs. - beginner prompters from not taking feedback well and pushing back on human review comments - tired of reviewing AI code. It takes up to 90% of my job at this point. I am […]

Addicted lately to collecting every Luffy gear 5 reference... #anime #manga #onepiece

This video says obscure, I say, games that were not afraid of trying something new. I NEED to try and experiment new things with my game. Not just the same mechanics that already exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olpeLidMedU #gamedev #indiedev #gba

Pixel art games are truly timeless. Such an enjoyable aesthetic to play games in #pixelart #gamedev

Honestly, there is no other feeling than creating a project of your own, finding bugs and issues within the libraries you use and chatting to them whilst you work on your project. The sense of indirect collaboration is an unbeatable feeling in the age of AI/agents slopping all over your code […]

It's actually sad that mentioning AI has an impact on share price. People have absolutely lost the plot here 🤣 and companies "pivoting" to AI. Using/integrating an API is not making it "AI first". There is so much stuff happening meta wise, what a weird turn out of events #AI #llm

Was doing some more load testing on my self hosted mini pc with my colyseus backend. I noticed the colyseus load test runner itself can disconnect due to log spam being shown in the terminal. Reminds me of java days haha. Removing all logs kept a comfortable 1000 concurrent players moving around […]

We picked 10% because that's a fee a small studio can absorb without raising their prices. 30% is a fee that gets passed to the player.

Sooo its 2026 now. I've watched one piece and read up to latest manga. The other one which feels like reading a multi series book directors cut, hunter x hunter, is it worth the read? #anime #manga

Just saw a horrible take on LinkedIn saying that developers don't care about salary. They care about which AI provider the company is using and has access to. Obviously, this never happened and nothing is true on LinkedIn Honestly, these deluded influencer brained folks rage baiting is new low […]

Just noticed that the pixel art I commissioned is quite universal that I can use it to learn how to create other game genres in Kaplay. Just clicked in now hahah #kaplay #gamedev #indiedev

Fellow fediverse developers on bluesky. if you follow @ap.brid.gy on BlueSky and myself. We can follow each across the fediverse Mastodon <-> BlueSky #fediverse #bluesky #developers

Repeat after me: "Enterprise doesn't mean microservices." #programming

I feel like microservices vs monolith is as much as architectural decision as it is an organisational one. #microservices #softwarearchitecture #programming

Its actually wild how link tree style services either paywall mastodon verification or dont have it all. I find this so embarrassing and against the fediverse principle #fediverse #linktree

RE: https://techhub.social/@beemdvp/116253086001870860 I have a very busy new job coming up but I hope I can still make time for this. Its so fun to work on this game

Its cool that OpenCode allows some free credits to use some models. Allows us developers who's not really keen but have to keep up with AI because of job #AI #OpenCode #programming

Can anyone find me the smallest ATX case with an ATX PSU compatibility? I just want to fit in a cpu/mobo with a low profile heatsink fan #hardware #Case #pc
