The #Unity3D UI Anchors menu looks intimidating? I've put together a tutorial so you can confidently tackle it. It covers practical techniques for positioning and scaling UI so it stays consistent across different screen resolutions and a whole lot more 👇 #gamedev #UnityTutorial

Trying a new format for videos since I hate video editing. I missed a bunch of stuff I meant to mention, but ah well. youtu.be/dAFf5oCjJZc

Today is #transdayofvisibility and it's a very important day. We're a small 2 people studio and one of us (myself, Luka) is a trans man! As an artist and gamedev, I WANT to be visible. I want other trans people to know they're not alone, we are everywhere, and we will continue to exist 💛

Assassin's Creed Shadows is great! Exploring, stealth, combat, the story. It's fun to get lost in a huge epic like this.

My new single I SWEAR YOU WANTED ME DEAD is out! Featuring Joel Jeschke on drums. pls share! ashellinthepit.ffm.to/iswearyouwan...

Long day at work 😮‍💨

Can't remember the last time I actually felt an earthquake... Pretty freaky

Do you know of any YouTubers who cover specific genres of indie games? Not indie generalists, people who have a specialist genre. I’d love to be able to pass on some of the games I cover (or don’t) to folks who might appreciate them more or have deeper insights. Shares welcome.

Hey YouTube, let me filter out all the terrible AI music slop from my homepage. I've clicked not interested/don't recommend this dozens of times. Stop it! 🛑

Candy companies have gone too far, and I'm here for it. Legitimately so good.

If you were going to code a cross platform GUI text editor, what would you use? GTK, Raygui, QT, SDL3, Electron, something else?

New dithering method dropped I call it Surface-Stable Fractal Dithering and I've released it as open source along with this explainer video of how it works. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPqG... Source repository: github.com/runevision/D... #gamedev #vfx

FUCK YOUR DISCORD. IT'S A SHIT REPLACEMENT FOR WEB FORUMS. I DON'T CARE IF YOUR CHANNEL HAS PINS. FORUMS HAVE PINS, AND THEY AREN'T BURIED OUT OF SIGHT. Don't get me wrong, I like my chats on Discord, but I don't like it for knowledge sharing.

You should try the demo for my online coop tower defense game. It's pretty fun, in my completely unbiased opinion.

Debuting #17waves TD's COMPLETE visual overhaul! #screenshotsaturday | #multiplayergame NEW game art from Liam Crossie, NEW key art by @skoops.newgrounds.com , all playable in the NEW public demo 👀 Steam 🔗 store.steampowered.com/app/2369760/...

Looking for playtesters! Our tower defense game Rift Riff needs testing. Right now, a screen recording of the game + your voice (no face necessary) is the only feedback useful to us. If you're open to do that, sign up here: forms.gle/obJArPwAbYwT... #gamedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

YouTubers should stop using face tracking on webcams. It looks so weird.

Football pieds!

A special treat today! @emaudible.bsky.social of @ashellinthepit.bsky.social put together this mini-documentary that shows some of the thought and effort that goes into the silly sounds Beasties make. 🔊 Watch the full thing here: youtu.be/jdtuSKwyspY

The past few days I've been trying to implement a rope data structure in #zig. Reading various GitHub repos, stack overflow threads, and discord messages: - We Tried as per the slides shown in class :( - a pile of absurd errors is, unfortunately, essential to developing a rope - fuck this

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

A few years ago I had an idea for a Reddit type clone called "imadethis" with no reposts allowed and only things you yourself made. AI has made this idea almost required now.

Not sure if anyone is still sharing starter packs these days, but digging up the Vancouver Creatives one I made months ago. Some great west coasters in here! go.bsky.app/411UerA

It's too bright he says

Ghostty is nice, it's the right amount of hyped.

The new firmware update for the #fujifilm #x100vi is a huge improvement to the autofocus. Finally!

What was one of your top indie games of 2024?

The Holdovers is so good!
