Found through the last post about tweens -> this game is great! (devs: if you have a Steam release in your plans, get a page up and start collecting those wishlists! This game is already super strong!)

super cool!

TONIGHT! I am so looking forward to this!

I picked up a drawing tablet a couple weeks back and I am having a BLAST. I last had an old Wacom about 20 years ago that was the size of a business card. The tech has uhh improved considerably. Not high end by any means, but 16" 2.5K display, plus a nifty little shortcut remote. For like $500!

aw heck yes!

Baseball game good

I've been noodling away at a turn-based tower defense deckbuilder prototype. Each battle, you play cards to build your tower or directly attack the battlefield. Then there's a round of auto-battling as your tower goes to work and the enemies take their actions. #gamedev #prototype #solodev

Today, Rift Riff… - got a major free update on Steam! - released on iOS and Android! - is 30% off as part of a Steam Daily Deal! i'm so proud, and exhausted. please buy & enjoy the game, repost this, leave a review, ∞ 🙏🏼

We first released Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, on Gear VR, over 10(!!) years ago 😳 The big launch was on PC/Rift, which will turn 10 early next month. Should probably get a cake or something.

When I was maybe 14 years old, I made my first mod for Half-Life. You could throw a grenade, which released snarks when it hit the ground. They would run around doing their thing, attacking other players and other spawned snarks.

To hell with my pride. I need work. Desperately. Game dev is my thing, but I’ll clean your basement if that’s what you need. Programmer (10+ yrs), full-service music/sound. Credits: Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, Wytchwood, some cancelled AAA projects. Please repost. website -> liamsauve.com

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

👀

😐

Love this concept, love the ambition and creativity to just go for it. Why not try a different approach like this?

Whaaaaat!

in-depth thread: optimizing GDScript performance from ~83ms to ~9ms in a scene our tower defense game Rift Riff, made in Godot, with 1000 enemies. 🧵👇🏼 #gamedev #godotengine

Glad we were able to save some time on this one

Game devs: where do you share your Early™ prototypes for feedback? Like brutally-ugly-needs-a-text-document-to-describe-what's-happening prototypes? Really missing our old studio hub space right now...

I know UI design is cyclical but usually it's just bopping between rounded corners and sharp corners. Dredging up Windows Vista sure is a choice.

Six years ago, we visited Kyoto for BitSummit for the launch of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in Japanese (thx @kakehashigames.com!) We got the best chicken from this little stall: karaage by Umeshin. I'm so happy it's still here today, and still kicks ass.

The Nintendo store in Tokyo slaps, yes, but I gotta hand it to the Capcom store for selling red, green, and blue herb(al tea).

The second biggest Buddha I've ever seen, but the biggest I've ever been inside of 👀

Japanese adventure: running a local 10k! I was the only foreigner and supremely jet-lagged but it was a total blast. So glad I pushed out of my comfort zone to sign up and just go for it!

Japan trip off to a good start 🍜

I'm heading to Japan in two weeks with my dad! His first time, my second. Classic Tokyo/Kyoto/Hiroshima/Osaka itinerary. What's your top secret tip/suggestion/food? I won't tell anybody.

Gonna need to stay off bluesky for, oh, 100 hours or so since everybody is out here posting oblique references to Blue Prince in a way that makes it impossible to mute for spoilers :/

I'm giving my talk about working on custom game engines THIS WEEK. Maybe come say hi to myself or other team members 😊 www.ticketleap.events/tickets/otta...

Red Faction Gorilla

"Whoa, The Duskbloods looks dope. Probably not til 2026 though, and I doubt Switch 2 will be my platform of choice for it." "Oh."

Yasss it took almost 20 years but the Xbox Live Vision camera makes its return thanks to Nintendo!

C is for Discord, got it 👍

"Weeks of programming can save hours of design" has finally worked its way into my brain this week. Forcing myself to use paper instead of the IDE.

Alt Ctrl GDC is always a must-see #GDC

Something very amusing about people honking behind a Waymo car that is too hesitant to enter the intersection.

More #DayOfTheDevs: The Electrifying Incident! A very smooth, elegant, and satisfying puzzler that I got totally engrossed in until the demo ended, so here's a screenshot from the Steam page. #GDC

Ludo-narrative dissonance explained: When GDC tells you to treat your badge as cash but also wear it visibly around your neck.

Probably should have used the bigger room for this talk I think.......

Chris Zukowski crushing it again at #GDC, this time with the insights on Steam demos. Super useful stuff, and a great presentation.

Casual many hundreds of people lined up early for the Silent Hill 2 art talk 😬 #GDC

First talk of GDC was "You Are Not Alone" by @nehapolitan.bsky.social, @juliaminamata.bsky.social , and @rikukat.bsky.social. Really hit the mark for inspiration for me (and for a lot of others based on the Q&A!). This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear. Great job, thank you! #gdc

Happy Skate Paddy's Day to those who celebrate 🛹☘️

Checking out #DayOfTheDevs up on Moscone West 3F. Played Haste, which is all about nailing that smooth, sliding movement. The game very generously says "Ok!" when I'm deciding not nailing it 😅 #gdc

GDC Run #1: complete! Great start to the conference! Now let's go talk about making games!

GDC Run* tomorrow morning 🥳🏃‍♂️ Well, every morning this week, but that includes tomorrow morning! *a breezy, chatty 3mi/5k-ish run at 730, meeting near Powell/Market #gdc #gdcrun
