Partage un cartoon du passé dont les jeunes ont jamais entendu parler Bon, les gens de mon âge en ont pas entendu parler non plus. Et j'ai trouvé aucune info depuis à part les premiers épisodes sur une obscure chaine d'archivage en québécois.

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

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

#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.

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
