there's basically two ways to create shareholder value 1 - make good stuff people want 2 - fire everyone who knows what they're doing even if the doors fly off your airplanes and make up some wild shit about how autocorrect is going to make it all better eventually we are unfortunately in era 2

💵 MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? 💵 There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen. Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! 🔽

I’m sure this will only be a net negative. But I do often think about how if things become significantly worse for folk they will just leave to the next best competitor, I’ve changed my “games” communication platform 3 times over the last 15 years, folk will just do it again when the time comes.

Reflection: I’ve been slow & steady in regards engine development this year. I’ve been porting of my engine to C and kicked off a significant rewrite of my renderer & core, along with the removal of many external libs. I’ve loved the process of removing external libs & implementing them myself.

hiiiii, Metal Garden is on sale right now both on Steam and Itch dot io! if you ever wanted to buy it, now's a really good time! store.steampowered.com/app/3539440/... tinerasoft.itch.io/metal-garden

Today I spotted a wild environment map in its natural habitat. It had texture compression artifacts and everything!

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

@freya.bsky.social Heyo, I’ve been following your products for some time. I wondered if you had any plans to expose your maths/librarys as a .dll so it can be integrated into other projects (as an additional licence to half-edge) I.e. I would like to add shapes/half-edge to other backends. Cheers

Prints? I've got you covered. Why not treat yourself, or someone you like?! owenpomery.bigcartel.com/products

my partner and i can no longer buy a home together because they were fired by Rockstar, without warning, *checks notes* for talking about working conditions with their colleagues in a private union discord server. 🙂

Orienting a RigidBody with precision timing requires something beyond a naïve "accelerate-towards-target" method. Here's a slow-motion comparison between the naïve method vs. what I call the "Akira slide". Green line indicates acceleration. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

the people working secretly behind the scenes in the Labour party to ensure that as many of their MPs as possible defect to the Greens have been doing such sterling work! Unsung heroes!

The Rockstar union case made its way into UK Parliament earlier today

I put together a little site for looking up Vulkan enums by name, hex, or decimal :) I hunt for enums like this surprisingly often when developing, so I figured I'd share it around! maluoi.github.io/vk_enums/

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Hi Engine/graphics friends. There are a few position open at Hello games over in Guildford. Jr - Graduate level (programmer) hellogames.org/jobs/junior-... Mid - Sr level (engine/graphics) hellogames.org/jobs/graphic... Note: I’m not affiliated with hello games just want to help boost openings

youtu.be/v1CqFQNNvHc?... Great video!

This is the longest I've spent on any single project in my life! Please remind your friends that Isopod is coming out tomorrow!

Hi everyone, there is a 5$ flat worldwide shipping event for giclee prints this weekend, just got myself three prints from another artist who I admire. If you're based in Europe, this is the time 🌿 have a good weekend!

‼️ to all my fellow adobe haters with an ipad: affinity (adobe's biggest competitor god bless them) has a limited promotion right now where u can get all 3 of their apps for free forever. it includes photo (photoshop dupe), designer (illustrator) and publisher (indesign)

Hello! I have some more commissions available now, so please send me a message if you would like to have one. Thank you very much!

Archival footage like this of a place that no longer exists is the kind of ref you should just let wash over you and watch it when it suddenly appears in your recommendation like this just did for me. A Space is not just how it looks but its how its used and the people that do so and their history.

my #1 priority when making Tall Trails was ensuring that Alp could have the same outfit as my Soldier from TF2

I’ve not had much time recently, but I have been thinking of an experiment that adds runtime validation to a cast that truncates in C, I finally got around to it yesterday using c11 generics. The API is as follows. i32Val = truncate_as( int32_t, u32Val ) Reasonably happy with this experiment.

interface design used to be cool and fun and everything didn't just look like a fucking roku btw we just let companies get lazy because we keep buying their slop anyways even when it sucks ass and they justify it by saying it's "more user accessible and intuitive to use"

the thing about layoffs of this scale is that so much is happening it involves days and days of discovering fresh horrors

I am sure that laying off the most skilled people, with otherwise unobtainable insight from decades of experience in game production, will somehow make games cost less to develop and by extension purchase.

We have multiple open job opportunities in game engineering, come work with us !

I have a new article! It took a long time but I think it was worth it, hopefully you'll enjoy it too. www.elopezr.com/the-art-of-p... Many thanks to @vassilis3d.bsky.social, @mokarakaya.bsky.social‬ and @angelortiz.bsky.social‬ for the help and encouragement

was looking for some slides, then stumbled upon this interesting repo/file: GPU Optimization for GameDev (md format) gist.github.com/silvesthu/50...

everyone acts like you need publisher money to make a game but you can actually just spend 10 years making it in your free time and never finish it and never be happy

I am so lucky to have worked alongside and befriended so many talented creatives (artists, game designers, writers) in the video game world and from my sidestep into comic books. If you see others as ‘competition’ then you have lost a piece of your creative soul and ability to learn snd to grow.
