Burn, baby, burn! #GameDev

Sucker Punch Studio Head clarifies that Lead Artist wasn't fired for Charlie Kirk joke, but for mentioning Mario and Luigi. This was a grave Sony Sin™.

Spent the last week swapping my hand placed props with spline procgen stuff. I'd say 80% of my game is now reticulated. #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score One of my favourite movies. When I was like 8 or 9 I was allowed a TV in my room, and I used to stay up late on Wednesdays to watch the RTE midweek horror movie. They scared the shit out of me but also gave me a very weird taste in films

I coded this atmosphere shader to only render if the camera is underneath it, but the atmosphere is a mesh with vertices and therefore not a perfect sphere, so I get these circles when the camera moves. Not going to be in the finished shader, but I thought it was neat and wanted to share

The tone police instantly turned up and ruined the party

I'm really enjoying Alien: Earth, but when are they gonna let a face hugger implant eggs in an elephant or something. I wanna see a giraffe Alien. Lets get wierd.

Fixed some things based on this feedback this morning and pinning quests is now more intuitive. Next up, improving the dialogue flow for the main quest line. #GameDev

Did a nice little bit of work today and I managed to improve some things based on this feedback. #GameDev

Doing what every other person who loves games is doing tonight, eating 500g of tiramisu straight from the tub

Curved screen or GTFO

Won’t be buying Silksong today, I’ll be waiting for a sale. €20 is too expensive for a 2D indie game.

Super, thanks for that. Now there’ll be an upper limit on what I can charge for my indie game.

Basically the result of my entire last 2 weeks of work is to have these UI prompts show when a player doesn't have a pinned quest. I shaved an entire field of yaks to get here, just naked yaks lazing around all over the place now. #GameDev

1 day a week is not near enough time for game dev atm. I'm so bogged down in improving my quest sytem and it feels like it'll be a month before I get through it.

The @imirt.bsky.social Steam Curator List is so close to 600 followers! All follows and shares help Irish game devs! Please and thank you. 😊 #speirghorm #irishgamedev #speirgorm #indiedev #gamedev #irishcreatives #indiegame store.steampowered.com/curator/4145...

posting because I'm excited. please don't tell me what you see missing or want changed, it will spike my anxiety.

Shoutouts to @craigbreathnach.bsky.social for doing the ongoing work of keeping this list up to date

I swear to fuck, if anyone of you summons me back from the dead just to ask me how some code I wrote works I will fucking haunt your ass to death. I will revive my dessicated corpse and hunt you down. I will possess the moon and crash it into the earth.

The charge for cybercrime in Ireland is called “Dishonestly Operating a Computer” which makes me laugh every time I see it because it assumes that there are more than like 4 or 5 people honestly operating one

whos ready to read about coffee in the middle of the night? here's my fifth post for #blaugust about a great little hario v60 coffee brewer. dhippo.net/2025/08/05/c...

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

I PROMISE you it is better for your activist flyer or pamphlet or website to have bad art, rather than AI art. People correctly see the usage of AI generated art or text as a betrayal of the laborers who the owners of this technology seek to replace. Are you for the bosses or the workers?

What if every building in my game was knockdownable? (Yes that's a real word and I didn't make it up) #GameDev #IndieGame

Yes. YES. YEEEEESSSSSS! CHECK IT OUT!

$ chris reabase main

you're gonna wanna make sure your game is as friendly to payment processors as possible, something like an online casino that connects 10 year olds to 45 year old roleplaying partners

Hot Damn, our first game Tree Kingdoms is Launches in JUST ONE WEEK! store.steampowered.com/app/3477080/...

Ice Road: Vengabus

I am become Donkey Kong. Destroyer of worlds.

the worlds her dinners #lookoutside

I don't want to hear about your "legitimate use for an LLM" because all you're doing is normalising all the destructive scummy things they're also being used for.

I swear my Apple Watch waits until I’m sitting on the toilet to tell me it’s time to stand. I will in a minute tiny arm robot, but now really isn’t a good time!

Beef! Also today I discovered that the thing where a cartoon character gets their butt lit on fire and jumps in the air holding it is called a Rump Roast! #GameDev #IndieGame

People want to be able to cause more mischief in my game, so fuck it, lets blow the shit out of some cars. #GameDev #IndieGame

Added a feature where you have to clean your truck! It gets dirty as you travel across the map, so if you want to attract customers you gotta keep it clean! #cozygame #indiegame

Me every sip when drinking tea: Fuck me this coffee tastes weird

More overworld map progress! The worlds in Rog & Roll are all pretty wildly different, so it's fun finding ways to link them together 🌲🏙️ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

Become a dragon and fly among the stars #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I hooked up my area map! #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev

just realised if tm had been around 15 years ago we'd have been guranteed a shovelware release.

I really cannot overstate what a devastating blow the loss of Romero Games is to the Irish games industry. For a sector constantly battling for recognition and support from the government fact that John and Brenda could attract global attention was huge. www.rte.ie/news/busines...

Just saw an AI booster post a long "AI is here and inevitable so you need to use it, and I'm looking forward to using it more" screed in the middle of a thread where people were lamenting >100 of their friends being laid off due to MS and their push into AI. These AI bros are the fucking worst!

I finally have my island finished so I'm finally doing the map screen. And I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. #GameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev

I wish I liked to write because I coined a phrase today that i think would make a very good blog post about mechanics heavy games and how they can somehow end up feeling stale faster than games with fewer mechanics. "Infinite Sundae Machine".

I recommend putting “fuck off and die already, LLMs” into your game as placeholder content, tbh

Time to strand some death!

Having a beer on the terrace and listening to CMAT’s Glasto set. She remains the absolute fucking best
