Wadjet Eye never misses, can't wait to play this!

25 slots left for #solodev game devs, reply below if you want in: bsky.app/starter-pack... (Just don't get mad if it fills up!! People have sent me angry messages or even blocked me over these, but I'll gladly make another starter pack if there's overflow. Plz be patient.)

Thank you so so so much to everyone who's bought a copy of Rosewater so far. In less than 48 hours, it surpassed Lamplight City's week 1 sales on Steam. Let's keep the momentum going! store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

Making a #gamedev starterpack for (mostly) solo game developers working on cool projects. I've added a bunch of friends of mine you should all check out. Leave a comment below if you're a solo #indiedev and want to be added! go.bsky.app/15UnZcn

UK Folks. If you're concerned about the catastrophic impact of generative AI on the creative industries & the theft of artists/writers creations, then you REALLY NEED to complete the below online consultation form. This is your chance to say 'fuck off, this is not okay' www.gov.uk/government/c...

Here's how I do lighting in godot, hope it helps!

Creating my own Game Dev Starter Pack. If you're working on some game of any size and want to be added in let me know! 😀 Aimed mostly at solo or small teamed devs, whether it's hobby or professional doesn't matter to me! go.bsky.app/HDP32wx

Still some space in my 𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 Starter Pack! If you feel your game fits, or know any that would, please let me know! (Note: having small number of players doesn't mean it's niche exclusively. I'm looking for niche genres more than anything!)

If you're writing code and you don't use version control (such as git), WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU READING THIS?! Go set one up! RIGHT F**KING NOW! There is absolutely no reason to code without version control. /vent #GameDev #Godot

So I might be late to the party and this is just a known thing but I couldn't find much online. When I released my Godot jam game a lot of people got false positives from their antivirus when downloading on Windows. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?
