Anyone do pitch deck reviews? Or just industry experienced and interested in giving mine a quick look in DMs with some feedback? #GameDev #IndieDev

Like this if you dig the artstyle!! Trying to get some traction going for pitching.

his name is Reginald #indiedev #gamedev #artdeco #robot

Upgrading my Unity project from URP to HDRP, so I have to transfer all of my stuff from my current project to an empty new one. This is actually great though, I can put it on my SSD, use the latest Editor version, start a bloatless new project, etc. Wish I'd done all this sooner.

Starting to get tired of seeing results for the Prey movie whenever I want to see stuff about the Prey game. Should’ve called it Psychoshock.

Quack

Very specific but I’m interested in hiring a British jazz VGM composer. By jazz, I mean 1960s blues / swing sort of stuff, very saxophone heavy. Metal / rock experience would be good too. If any mutuals are interested comment or DM me, or if you can suggest anyone that’d be great too.

Watched Oldboy. AMAZING!!!

Today I learned that Discord will automatically correct ":DD" (as in the happy face) to a middle finger emoji. I'd be mad if it wasn't extremely funny.

It’s pretty funny to me how both Prey and Epic Mickey are immersive sims with surprisingly similar endings / climaxes. Definitely a coincidence but the contrast in tone between those games makes it hilarious.

Similarly Bioshock, I have to say they bungled the ending. Everything was going so extremely well up until the moment the Apex arrives and then after that I feel like it started losing steam quickly. Still an 8/10 game overall though and I had a ton of fun playing.

The first hour was extremely rough for me but now I’m absolutely obsessed with this game. Immersive Sims are true perfection. I’ve sunk like 15 hours into the game now and I almost can’t stop playing. Haven’t even finished yet but wow this is fantastic.

Starting to get quite bored of this Spiderverse animation style along with other homogenized artstyles. It worked for Spider-Verse because they executed it extremely well and now it feels like every other new release is trying to poorly imitate them for no reason. youtu.be/FWAdUAZbwcQ?...

Still so impressive to me that indie teams can make games that look equivalent to Prey visually in 2025. I want to see more indie games around that level of fidelity. I do appreciate stylized / low poly games but it feels like it dominates the 3D indie market especially for FPSes.

Playing Prey 2017 for the first time.

Very alarmed after searching up “good linear singleplayer shooters” and only getting results either from almost 10 years ago or DOOM Eternal. Where’d they go?

I think I'm just sad Light died. Although Near as a character did not feel set up enough too, writing-wise. This part of the show deserved a full 25 episodes, like a proper "season 2", then it might've won me over like the first half of the show did.

Got to the ending, I still really love the show but I can’t help but feel unsatisfied.

Posts like these are fascinating to me. I adore Bioshock (Top 3 games of all time to me) but it’s not an immersive sim at all. Is it just grouped into this genre by association with System Shock? #Gaming #ImmersiveSim

OPM was actually the only anime I’ve ever watched but I decided to start Death Note and it’s so insanely good!! I’m obsessed with it.

Rewatched both seasons of One Punch Man, just an absolutely fantastic show, I hope Season 3 keeps it up.

Fun chair stuff #GameDev #Indie #Unity

Almost forgot I bought this Unity lattice modifier a while ago

Be wary and spot the signs of an immersive sim before it overtakes your entire game.

My game prides itself on it's impeccable chair physics. I don't think anything else is as important to me at least. #GameDev #Indie

Is there a boomer shooter esque name for games like Half Life 2, Bioshock, FEAR, Deus Ex MD, etc? I’ve been thinking of the term lately and I’ve realised that this category of late 2000s / early 2010s shooter is pretty uncommon now. Maybe renaissance shooter could work, but is it even necessary?

Fallout Corvega Remake (finished?)

Added bullet counting to my FPS. First pic is after all bullets are fired and the second is after only one is. I wonder how many people will notice, it’s such a small detail. It also doesn’t affect gameplay, but having accurate bullet counting for hard mode could be cool 👀 #GameDev #Indie

Can you name any games that let you ADS and also alt fire in a satisfying way? I just need inspiration for my control scheme it's giving me a headache. #GameDev #Gaming

Much Ado About Nothing if it had literally any substance 🙄: Much Ado About Something

Anyone have any resources or guides on interior environment art for games? #Indie #GameDev #3D

Spent ages importing an animation from Blender to Unity, spent ages working out shit with the scale factor and then after all that.. It still didn't work! I had to spend another 2 hours randomly toying around until I realized Unity doesn't paste animation curves properly, you have to do it yourself
