We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Why does the new Knives Out movie sound like its named like a Hideo Kojima character 😭

Been waiting ages for this one and I'm happy to say it far exceeded my expectations, cannot recommend this enough even if you don't care about skateboarding that much

Anyone else finding The Game Awards site to be half broken? I have to reload every category page 3 times to stop getting 404 errors

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little. aftermath.site/the-alters-a...

Gonna be moving back to Brisbane in just over 2 weeks, looking forward to being a part of the indie dev scene there on a more active basis!

New Blood Cultures and Telenova music on the same day that Zohran wins the election? Things are too good right now I feel as though I'm about to be hospitalized again to rebalance the karmic energies or whatever

I wonder if Jobu Tupaki from EEAAO was inspired by Katamari Damacy when she made that bagel

Game design is an extremely complicated and broad subject. It is often mistaken for 'experience playing games'. Namely, "I play a lot of games, therefore I know what makes a great game". And yes, research is a part of games design but it is only a small part, especially without deconstruction.

It's fixed! Isopod is now out! Please go buy it! store.steampowered.com/app/2053910/...

3 and a half years of isopod rolling down big hills! Isopod is finally coming out tomorrow! store.steampowered.com/app/2053910/...

perhaps the best way to enjoy Tron Ares is to sit in the lobby of the cinema with no ticket, eating a large popcorn while listening to the nine inch nails soundtrack. its cheaper and you dont have to see jared leto

oh I should post. I put up a steam page for HyperRouter! Go wishlist my weird little early-internet exploration platformer!!!! #gamedev #y2k #3dplatformer store.steampowered.com/app/3612450/...

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

30+ hours into Silksong and I find my first bug

Lowkey contemplating bankrupting myself for Jacob Gellers new book

Trying to figure out a way to streamline the tile swapping in my puzzle game, very close to finishing a test that basically just rips off the way the cards feel in Balatro

A very, very nice feeling. Flow joins the Criterion Collection.

Also whats up with announcing paid dlc at the same time as announcing the as of yet unreleased game, that just feels kinda weird

No way nintendo just fused the two worst VR technologies of all time LMAOOO

This is hilarious, nintendo wants us to game like its 1995

100% this. When someone says "I'm not political" what I hear is "It doesn't affect me and I don't care about anyone else."

If you're a first-time developer or know any student projects looking for a review, my Debut Devs showcase signups are still up; I would like to get at least 4 so that I can set up a stream for reviewing them #indiegamedev forms.gle/DYDtBkUq8asT...

Massive thank you to Stachebros for making a video showcasing our puzzle game "Canvas Bound"!

what it is like to live life truly free

in a lonely world, i found you!

Game has been updated, it is no longer ridiculously hard! Thanks to everyone on itch who rated the game!

My new awesome video game is out, try and survive riding the euthanasia coaster

Team I'm doing the GMTK 2025 jam with has come up with a truly ridiculous game idea

1000xRESIST is 30% off on steam right now, do with that information what you will

The latest round of Screen Australia funded games has been announced, with over $1.4 million in direct project funding. A massive congratulations to the 26 teams who have received support! 💖 www.screenaustralia.gov.au/sa/media-cen...

ICYDK: Godot, the open-source game creation software used to make Dome Keeper, Cassette Beasts, and Brotato, has a VERY beginner-friendly series of online tutorials here. gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscri... It says it requires absolutely zero prior experience with coding, and it means it.

Uploaded a new build of our combination 3D escape room and 2D Sokoban puzzle game! Check it out here! samcask.itch.io/canvasbound

Creating my own episode of Game Changer was so fun that I did it again. This time using a custom built application in #Godot to facilitate the scoring and other fun things like confetti and disco lights. I'm going to upload a slightly more polished version of this to my itch later for y'all to try!

Child of Omelas? That’s thinking too small. What if like eight billion people suffered so a few dozen guys could live lives so insane they convinced themselves it’s more likely they’re inside a computer simulation

Oh Hannah 😞 Look what they've done to her, and yet she's the one being charged? Wtf, how backwards is this?? And because the protest happened to be near a church (but totally unrelated) the police abused that new law to move them on? Far out, what year is this? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

Queensland Games Fest was good! I am so exhausted though. I think I really hit the mark with this game. Nobody quite understood it, but whenever the right kind of person came along I think I blew some minds.

Animation is a medium, not a genre, and, like any medium, there are some concepts that can only be properly portrayed using it. House of Leaves is an unfilmable book, the wizard Ekh in the 1983 short "Wow, a talking fish!" Would never have the same impact without being animated.

Should I mention at some point that I'm going to be at the Queensland Games Festival?? I'm bringing along HyperRouter, my trippy, datamoshy, early-internet first-person platformer. It's very early in development and also maybe one of the coolest things ever.

Gave the Tron Catalyst demo a try cuz I was a big fan of the movie as a kid. Unsure if its fore me though, the combat isn't bad but I feel like there's room to add more juice that's sorely missing, and constant popups were kinda disappointing. It's got a cool story premise with half baked dialogue

Happy Pride Month! I'm going to take this opportunity to compile a list of games with LGBTQ+ themes or characters. I'm going to try to stick with the lesser-known ones to give them visibility. 1/5🧵

Forced my friends into Gamechanger tonight, we played jeopardy with the questions being trying to guess who said unhinged quotes from the server.

new jacob geller video came out and im not letting myself watch it until after I beat Clair Obscur 33 for myself, I don't usually heed spoiler warnings for video essays but I really want to go in to that game with fresh eyes

If you liked or hated my takes on ‘deprofessionalisation’, I went into a lot more detail in this great chat with @pushtotalk.gg for his newsletter. Connected what’s going on now to what I observed in the Australian industry in the 2010s www.pushtotalk.gg/p/gamings-gr...

Everyone go try this game I made with some really cool people here in Sydney for a week long game jam! Its called Canvas Bound, a combination between a sokoban and a first person escape room with a twist!

Hi friends, did you know that if you unionize your workplace immediately gets Status Quo rights, and if studio leadership wants to do something like this they'd have been blocked? If you like the way work is now, unionize. Protect what you like, change what you don't. www.ign.com/articles/ea-...
