what music do you listen to when working ?

holy shit general-purpose n64 game engine and editor just released www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BCm...

i do have to come up with a more stupid game engine name than just prefixing every project with my legal name maybe i'll just call it unreal engine 5 and be done with it

unsure we needed to progress past the quake engine

i'm still seething about this. this is like shadow-dropping an update to The Wheel. this is like trying to launch a Newest Testament. and buddy. it was difficult enough last time

what's crazy is they took out the game engine feature and they replaced it with the copilot button

this is a video of my notepad-based game engine from 2022. everyone hated the flickering. after 3 years, i finally solved it i finally implemented double-buffering in Notepad

I am fuckin begging you to treat performance as an architectural decision, and not just a last-minute 'optimization' step you can take care of later.

"sportsball is stupid" read this and come back when you have healed your heart www.sbnation.com/a/17776-foot...

I am researching some workflows and would love help if possible. If you are making a non-NDA'd game in Unreal, Unity, or Godot, would you mind making a fullscreen timelapse recording of yourself working for 3 hours, at 3 frames per second? That'll be about ~18 minutes of footage. Any game is fine!

choosing unity for a project so it'll be done faster, instead of writing another engine from scratch. fuck my bindle life

BEEN FUCKING SAYING

have you considered using a real game engine?

its #WorkspaceWednesday! show off your setup!

an agent on moltbook is going to install clawdbot on a VPS and the VCs are gonna start heading for the bunkers

playtest your tools

Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is exactly as wild as its name suggests

Baby Trading Simulator is holding strong on New and Trending on day 2, and we've got a 96% rating despite doing some weird as hell stuff! Thanks so much, y'all--and please leave a Steam review if you haven't already! It really helps!! store.steampowered.com/app/3642000/...

strange scaffold has allowed me to get so fucking ridiculous about building custom tools, for joy of process, and to create possibilities where they otherwise wouldn't exist i'm thrilled at how little things i've built have endured across projects and teams i haven't even been a part of

If you have ever rocked with anything I've said about tooling for level design, Robin-Yann Storm has probably also said it but more articulate and more richly grounded in experience This contains a bunch of great, specific info spanning across tons of games you've played

hooded horse has always been real as fuck

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

we will build the machine god and automate all jobs (automates sexting kids) (automates generating porn of kids) (automates v

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

why does the red cross cpr training course have nintendo wii sound design

lying to consumers gives me hope. if 'consumers' didn't want to believe that there was a human reality to their art, didn't inherently care about and value how things were made - nobody would bother lying about it. but we do, so they do.

"Crunch is bad for you and the project" and "I feel like working on this because I enjoy it" are part of the same coin. Just as much as 'kill your darlings' and 'stop tinkering and release' are flipsides to 'put in the work' and 'iteration is normal' The correct and annoying answer is "it depends"

yes to everything everyone is saying about crunch, also if you lock twelve artists in a room and give them a million dollars they will do it to themselves 9 times out of 10

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

doing some shit that's awesome

Is there a good way to acquire a 2000s camcorder without paying Crazy Inflated eBay Prices And not some shitty webcam being put in a white label camcorder shell for Amazon resale - the image has to look Like That. I *can* dig on eBay for a deal. I haven't found good options at thrift stores yet.

Been following this project for a few years, really excited to play with it when I get the chance! I'm curious what others think

i want to hire every single person involved in the quake brutalism jam

It's 2026. Time to put developer commentaries back in our games.

"gemini needs to feel safe and loved to generate quality output" we used to beat the shit out of office printers

what's the best way to capture normal maps with minimal equipment? like, ideally just with a camera, the way you'd go out and get photo textures i know things like crazybump work fairly well (and now people are using genai editing to do it), but say i want the real deal

nobody else is claiming their voucher so 2026 will be my year

just found out the person who made the fancam i stole for 0:02-0:16 blocked me for making this this is the kind of persecution you face when challenging the form

every day you log on and learn what one guy said to the other guy

the first time in history this shit has happened. first time and it's on camera. what a privilege

THIS IS THE SHIT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

hey thats me in there likely because i worked on. the game

big jim

i need some 2010s mid with a Unique Element to play. splinter cell conviction tier. games that make you say shit like "i love the thing they were trying to do"

Glad the performance discourse is happening but it does make me feel a little crazy because like. "Let's target 1080p30 on Deck" isn't a new idea, Steam Deck hardware has been the same since it came out. Maybe it's prompting people to consider performance upfront in a way we've been trained not to?

What's the best place to read about techniques for rendering transparent geometry in the middle of a raymarched fog volume? From the scattered sources I'm reading, there's a lot of fascinatingly weird ways people try to hack around it.

okay fess up, which one of you did the audio integration on ROUTINE

i cannot overstate how important it is for you to watch this sudoku let's play video www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKf9...
