Hey y'all! I've got a request for all the game devs out there 👀 Is there anyone using TexturePacker, Asesprite, or other tools to create texture atlases that would be willing to share their files with me? I'm having a hard time finding examples to test my importer #gamedev #indiegames

Any Seattleites wanna team up this weekend for GGJ? Looking for a team I bring programming, tool development, and an insatiable desire to juice everything up!!

Sketchbook pages from last night (I did not sleep) I guess some of these don't really qualify as sketches, given I worked on them quite long, esp the 3rd pic.

I’m conducting a 30 year experiment to see what happens if you never get a good night’s sleep

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or [email protected], thank you!

Incredible we are still featured on itch (play RUIN Ch.0)

My latest micro-memoir piece is out now with @fiveminutelit.bsky.social!

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

ICYMI we have a pack of 10,000 game dev assets including pixel art, high res art and sound effects. Representing a variety of genres including platformer, RPG, puzzle, adventure and more. 50% off until December 31st! ci.itch.io/all-game-ass... #gamedev

I've just released the TYPECAST demo... two years after the initial game released! Here's the catch. It's not really a demo. It's the whole ass game for FREE but without leaderboards. If you want to compete upon the altar of pain then you gotta give me $4.99 gutter-arcade.itch.io/typecast

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is my brother's friends coming over. He got them hooked on Towerfall last year While they wiped the floor with me in 2024, I'm proud to say I returned victorious this year

these 2 methods save me so much time

I had the .gm6 file for one of the Jumper games and would make certain levels easier for myself so I could complete the game. As time went on, fewer and fewer obstacles had to be removed

What are folks using to transcribe audio? I want to generate captions with timestamps, to use as subtitles via code

The demo for our new game about the "100 men vs 1 gorilla" meme, How Many Dudes, is LIVE! Go play and wishlist on @steampowered.com 👇👇👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3934270 Or via @itch.io & @gx.games bscotch.itch.io/how-many-dudes gx.games/games/8racq4... #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

Throwback to when I was 13 and obsessed with @maddymakesgames.com's An Untitled Story and wanted to make my own

Foiled again by text rendering!! There's a lot of fonts out there that don't handle outline strokes well at large values (or in this case, even a width of 10)

Love looking at things like this!! Especially the ones that are calculated based off of other values.

Ok quick thread on Game Mechanic Museum-like resources 1. Geoffrey Engelstein & Isaac Shalev's Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design, genuinely changed my brain chemistry www.goodreads.com/book/show/45...

Why you should hire me as a narrative designer: • I've got creative & technical chops • I obsess over the process in ways you couldn't imagine • I write both sins AND tragedies

this fall I worked with the core Git folks on writing an official data model for Git and it just got merged! I learned a few new things from writing it. github.com/git/git/blob...

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Recent work on Canvas Lord has forced me to become more familiar with TypeScript's tsconfig.json files and npm/package.json files There's so much I'm still not entirely certain about, but I think things are getting closer to a good state?

Does anyone know what this is from? I gotta see more

In the US Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 2nd edition video game from Eidos & Jellyvision, entering your name as "Regis", "Millionaire", or one of the actual $10^6 winners on the show would result in the game changing your name to "Faker" or "Cheater". So I could not play the game as myself.

Montreal! My friends opened a restaurant! It’s a Mediterranean snack bar inspired by the Armenian diaspora right in the Mile End. Give them a follow on the Instagrams and come by! They are soft launching for the next two weeks & testing out menu items! Be the first to try stuff out! 🖤🇦🇲🖤

NEW VIDEO OUT NOW!! Trading From Pokémon Crystal to Pokémon Emerald! Had some fun testing DrDubs23's Trade Buddy and sent a few cool guys up to Generation 5. Check it out!!

Hey #gamedev community! I'm curious how y'all handle ANGLES Do you use both degrees and radians? Wrap radian-specific functions with a degrees version? Only use radians? I'm working on some helper methods for angles and wanna know how folks actually interface with the two standards

Here it Is! RUIN Ch.0 A Short Narrative Adventure Please Enjoy, Free, In Browser on Any Device officialelectric.itch.io/ruin

I Released RUIN to the Wild so Please Play! It's a short narrative adventure so if you enjoy strange, broken, (possibly) cursed games you'll enjoy this. It's a long time coming so if you have a few minutes and an open mind I think you'll find something in it. officialelectric.itch.io/ruin

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

you're telling me a duck typed this code?

That about sums it up.

do stuff badly stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well draw badly write badly code badly sport badly only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good unless it's a job good isn't the point

this is so good

I wish there was a good place to put a poll asking what game dev folks are using in lieu of Twitter, as well as just social media in general How are they using it? Are they mostly posting/marketing? Lurking? Finding leads? Staying in touch with friends?

There's a new VSCode update that adds a tab titled "Agent Sessions" at the very top of the sidebar, focused by default I found out you can disable ALL AI-related features by toggling "chat.disableAllFeatures" Source: code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot...

MY PARTNER AND I GOT SOME AMAZING NEWS! WHICH MEANS I CAN FINALLY ANNOUNCE CONFIDENTLY. I AM MOVING TO BE A FULL-TIME INDIE GAMEDEV. I GET TO LIVE MY FUCKING DREAMS. OH MY GOD. I'M FREAKING OUT.

I am excited to share this new single-header C library I have been working on for a while now: vecmath.h, a comprehensive vector/matrix math library for graphics/games/3d. It allows you to write vector math code in C that looks like this:

I thought it was "manual" as in "with hands" ("manus" in latin)
