God damnit, not again. I just fixed that last one.

I'm always posting this quotation from Umberto Eco

alright i'm done playing with the game dev reply bot, please go report it

I couldn’t resist making this 🤦🤣

found an account that seems to only make painfully sincere ai generated replies to posts with the keyword game dev in them. i just want to see something here

found this in my notes, good advice for aspiring devs

New tattoo! By @pifanida on insta! 🛸

Part of me wants to play a game, but then I remember MHW comes out in a week - at which point I'll lose all momentum on working on my own game. So instead I just open up Unreal and continue with the work at hand of iterating on my current levels.

Extremely proud to say that MakeRoom will launch with over 1,000 objects to decorate your rooms with! I've set this personal goal and so incredibly happy to have reached it. All models for the game are custom and handmade ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/2212670/...

this is also one of my favourite videos of all time. the lorry driver is complaining about fools who try to cut in front to change lanes to get to the turnoff so he strategically deploys the darude sandstorm horn to get them to move lmfao

There was a time when I was genuinely excited about Apple's AppStore as both a developer and a consumer, but that feeling has faded. I had been wondering why - perhaps because of the enshittification of mobile games? Then, I took a look at the current front page of the store. #AppStore

(migrating an Important Post) @docky.games is who did the Is It A Bird Is It a Plane, aaaand this is from when they were doing an initial swing at the SkateBIRD pink bird

I'm sorry Nintendo but I do not remember what Gold Points are or what they once meant to us

Man, I hate Microsoft so much. I should switch to Linux. *investigates Linux* Ooooh ho ho ho hooooo, no way. Nuh uh. Not gonna do that. Bad idea. Bad idea.

I'm still mourning the loss of the default Windows 11 calendar app. It was exactly what I needed and nothing more. I'll never forgive Microsoft for what they did.

"When's your game gonna come out?" Well, as I've been saying for the last three to four years, in about a year or two.

Do we have a shared resource with verified curators? Or maybe verified fake curators? I imagine it's a lot like whack-a-mole with the latter.

to me this reads like the highest-profile case of something that's become more and more common in the last decade or so, which is nerd guys who've worked in a historically male-dominated field gradually having more and more young female coworkers and realizing they have power over them

Saw a follower of mine made a post about the biggest political gift the left gave to conservatives is saying people shouldn’t say “the r word” and I just blocked the guy because I don’t fuck with people saying that word and everyone who does sucks and is a 50 year old southpark guy

Isn't Americano an insult already though? Do we want to do this, Canada?

Anyway genAI in video games is going great. The AI upscale remaster of Tomb Raider 2 turned these mysterious instruments into a touchtone phone, complete with the classic R button! It's really important that we burn down the world so we can do this.

new tf2 update is awesome

After working in game visuals for almost 15 years my best advice is to use placeholders as much as you can, but spend just a little more time than minimum effort on them. you never know what in your game will be used so little that an unrefined first pass version of it does the job perfectly well

I have ethical objections to LLMs, but this thread is why I'm also not interested in them even as a work aid. It's possible an LLM could have answered this question, BUT... 1. I wasn't quite asking the right question. An LLM can only answer what it's asked; it can't infer misconceptions. cont/

SAY SOMETHING

One of my leaser known projects simply cos by the time I fished I had a drive fail and not all but enough was lost to make it a right pain but here is my recreation of a Nintendo Famicom Disk. Had fun trying to just make my own labels #3dart #animetion #prop #hardsurface #nintendo #fanart
