Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me. azhdarchid.com/so-you-want-...

GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft, as CEO Thomas Dohmke resigns. GitHub is now moving to Microsoft's AI engineering team, CoreAI, with a new structure for GitHub's leadership team. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/757461/...

To be clear: I am not accepting pitches for comic scripts for me to turn into comics. I am way too busy for that! I want writers to write the dang story so I can make the pretty pictures. I wanna be the helper instead of the leader, for once 😂

One thing I "love" about today society is the incentive to "monetize your hobbies" while also strangling the options to do so as much as possible and only being worth for the best of bests, without allowing easy room to grow since results must be immediate Very logic and healthy stuff

Somehow, ValiDate was not unlisted on Itch despite all of our tags. fuck censorship, you can pick up a copy for FREE until the 31st enjoy ;) validategame.itch.io/validate-str...

Hi friends! My team is casting 5 voice actors for contract roles in our combat-focused video game! Ideally remote voice talent with home recording setups. We’re seeking authentic representation for the following roles:

to anyone who's tried to get me into anything, i'm sorry

Hey y'all! I'm looking for a Renpy programmer who can help with the demo revamp of Romance The Backrooms. We need someone who has experience programming a few games. If that's you, and you're available, please reply! Otherwise, please RT! #visualnovel #vndev #renpy

Realized I might be trans due to some friends. Wanted to try feminity asap, so I spent a week end looking up name lists. Specifically wanted something European, uncommon, that I liked the sound of, and with a good etymology

You can just grab it and play it now here, but otherwise, wishlist it on Steam. It really deserves more eyes on it.

Its been available free on Itch for some time but I know some of you heathens only do Steam, so Psycutlery is coming to Steam soon. Also free. A very good, offbeat adventure platformer based on the old fangame Psycho Waluigi. Same core mechanics, but now free of anything Nintendo could smite it for

Thank you for asking! That is definitely itchio (I’m pretty sure we left the percentage they take at the default which I think is 15%?), but it’s not on sale over there right now so Steam is cheaper! softnotweak.itch.io/spirit-swap-...

#StopKillingGames We believe it's important for devs to stand for the preservation of medias and against planned obsolescence. So we're doing just that!

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece? While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

I could be super scathing re: my last repost but honestly? Just give me, a trans masc nonbinary person, money so I can make games. I am barely scraping by to pay my monthly bills + rent and damn if that isn't a barrier to making more substantial work.

DE RETOUR !! ✨ Perso j'ai trop hâte ! Rejoignez nous sur discord pour plus d'info : discord.lefren.ch

Watching a video on gacha games and wondering. "We should make an ethical counterpart. Like a cast of characters that you have access to, and whose plot you follow, would be cool" Then realized I had invented the groundbreaking concept that is the rpg video game

Greetings everybody. Well, yet another shot in the dark post. I only have two weeks of work left before having no resources whatsoeve. So, any help getting a job would be huge! I can be a GD, ND, or Unity programmer! (Cont) #gamedesign #narrative #lfw #gamejobs #unity #gamemaking #lookingforwork

i think the biggest fundamental Thing turn-based rpg devs can do to improve their combat is to consider turn economy. there's a lot deeper nuance you could take into this, but on the surface level, everyone who's played an older game has felt this: why use poison when the battle is over next turn?

Been playing @sabotagestudio.com latest DLC My heart is torn between "damn, this is so cool" and "damn, now I want to make a rpg again"

One step done. Introducing "You promise", an interactive fiction by Aster F and Jake G. Now in french, translated by yours truly, with help from my wife and @manonamora.bsky.social ! pieartsy.itch.io/you-promise #IF #Interactivefiction #translation #gamedev

Mostly trying to stay alive. But I've started working on a new game project (with hopes of fun) Did my first professional translation gig (update later but the text will be available). Will update KunLun. And trying to write a design article. So maybe there is some hope in the future

The French word for Pride is Fierté, which comes from the Latin Ferus, which is the root word for the English Feral. This pride month, you should bite her real hard

Hi For anybody seeing this, I'm still very much looking for work, as either a designer or a unity programmer. And could use some leads very soon, as my staying alive job contract is expiring. So, any contact, offer, or simply repost would be greatly appreciated! #gamedev #gamedesign #gamejob

The Pokemon running this account. (Yes, my avatar's bowtie is the one that Rowlet has, but Litwick and its evolutions are my actual favorites, by a very close margin)

Finally feeling like I can make games again, after months of brain not working, it's nice

Thinking that I might pivot into becoming a recruiter. Seems like a nice life, letting a bot read applications and write the answers while you... Get paid for existing, I guess

With the list thingy, i have no idea what my following is. So, quick question to people seeing this : How annoying would it be, if I were to regularly stream and so post announcements here ? Considering that it would be french. Would it be okay, or do you only want game dev content ?

I swear, whoever decided that you need to grow your portfolio, network, and apply, while holding a day job to pay bills, and somehow still be sane and alive if you want a game job, was a madman from a dimension where time can be extended infinitely

Et si on se tapait quelques fraises à l'apéro ? Sans doute le jeu du coeur pour la majorité d'entre vous ! Have fun ! 🍓 Celeste 🕹️ Yushi 🎙️ Bobythorinque & @drumbrus.bsky.social 📺 www.twitch.tv/lefrenchrest...

Heartbreaking, local designer saw what other devs are up to and is now self conscious about her work
