I made a bunch of one page tips on #gamedev with stuff that I learned over the years. It leans towards the direction + production side. This is stuff that worked for me, maybe it can be of use for you. Here is a thread of tips, starting with keeping your project on track with timeboxing 🧵 1/20

This week we said farewell to Barney after nearly 16 years. FN players will know him as Comfy Boy, but to us he was the bestest and weirdest little guy, and it fucking hurts that he's gone. Rest well little man ❤️

We rolled credits on #FarewellNorth tonight. Were we in tears as they rolled? No, you were 🥲 I don't typically rate things. But I did sit through the entirety of the credits out of respect. Thank you, @kylewbanks.com for this absolute masterpiece! Heartwarming, inspiring, and beautiful 💜

My wife and I do a Christmas book swap where we share a book we read during the year that we think the other will enjoy. She gave me a romantasy book that I thought would be silly, and dude, I haven't stopped reading in weeks. I'm 5 books into the series. HOOKED.

It's really cool that every website and piece of software and app I use is flooded with unskippable prompts and unavoidable buttons insisting AI tools that nobody asked for and nobody wants on everyone.

Go grab this game while it's on sale (though it's worth full price)! Truly an astounding experience.

We had a flurry of new reviews over the weekend thanks to the Daily Deal (still 30% off btw) and so far it's all been extremely positive! Another reminder that all it takes is a few words and a thumbs up to brighten an indie dev's day 😌
