Trying to do a little each day on my tile-based, idle, settlement builder - IdleSettlers 🙏 - A selection border now indicates which tile is selected - Added keyboard support to move the selection around - Right-click & hold to move the camera around the map #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot

Game Jobs 👇

It would appear that Unity has entered its consequences era

It's not so easy to expand now! Tiles now have a cost to unlock, watch your resources! You can always speed up to harvest more resources faster 😉 (Still LOTS of placeholders!) #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

The first stage of what I hope to be my first self-developed game; IdleSettlers All visuals are completely placeholder (designed by me 😂) but the base functionality is there! Still an absolute ton of work to do but hoping this can be an impressive "before" example 😉 #GameDev #SoloDev

A new project begins... #GameDev #SoloDev

Question for #SoloDev #GameDev - What has helped you find the time to develop your own games? Especially relevant for those who have to work a part/full time job. Do grants or funding help you with completing your projects?

I'm no expert but I feel this is a) not legally enforceable unless it's part of a contract between both parties and b) an effective method of ensuring bigger creators do not cover your title Quite a strange approach if you ask me

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.

Another day enjoying the dichotomy of Gamers: Gamer 1: "You're the best CM for this game hands down" Gamer 2: "I hope you die" Well 😅

Happy Community Manager Appreciation Day 🎉 Hope all the CM's out there are having a good day. No doubt requiring you to be having the day off work to do so IYKYK 😂

I feel the opportunity for BlueSky to spin off a feature that matches TikTok would capture the imminently-orphaned TikTok audience who are looking for alternative platforms 😆

Steam's rating system is now effectively meaningless. Instead of ratings reflecting the game itself, they're now a playground for people reacting to commentary. A game rated 'Mixed' is recently graded as 'Mostly Positive' due to the CEO announcing his studio is effectively removing DEI policies

we are HIRING!! remote associate producer opened up to support our animation team 🫶 $75-95k, project hire (full time but contingent upon game) game producers, jump on this!! thatsnomoon.com/careers/5411...

First day back at work after the holidays. How do we do this "work" thing again?

Another lovely day here in the UK 😂 It was quite nice to watch the snow coming down last night though. Rain slowly washing it away so at least we're not left with the annoying, icy slush afterwards too 👌

2024 has been a tough year for various reasons and I think that's the same for many of us. 2025, at least for me, is already looking to be another tough year so it's going to be important to find happiness wherever possible. Going to have to be sure to find time to grab those opportunities

To everyone who celebrates it, Merry Christmas 🎄 For everyone else, I hope you still have time with friends and family over the next few weeks. We all deserve a break

DMs welcoming me on this Monday morning... I will never understand why some people think it's ok to behave like this towards game devs. (My parents also celebrated 51 years together this year and I don't wear glasses so 🤷‍♂️ )

I purchased Caves of Qud some time ago but never had the chance to really dive into it Started this weekend and I can see this being one I sink a lot of time into. It's all I can think about but I'm also so fearful of losing my character too 😂

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Streamers & YouTubers please, please PLEASE realise that if you're not being paid, you're being taken advantage of. MrBeast, the guy with endless money, is wanting Streamers to do free marketing for his new show, that he'll profit from. Only one party benefits from these "opportunities"
