Indies will not save us until y'all start demanding Valve take a smaller cut of revenue from them. Because that 30% cut is responsible for more indie studios folding after their 1st game than anything else in this industry

With the blockout finished it's time to start moving in all our gameplay critical systems and making sure this space is /fun/ to be in- but first lets cover all the changes since last week! www.patreon.com/posts/mappin...

I'd love it if many of these industry execs had an Epic Fan Experience in the sense of being sucked into a large industrial fan

love to everyone effected by the ongoing murder of the video game industry

The most expensive minds of the games industry are really salivating for a transition to a downsized inexpensive genAI-centric workforce and a games media ecosystem with no publications or reporters but hundreds of influencers.

Back from NFC! Great friends, great food, a great time all around. ...even if I probably missed every single panel I planned to attend, hah. At least I made it to the gamedev meet, this year, and had some very nice chats!

BIG. 📸 @apieceofbread.art

you need to play at least one game that youtuber consensus fucking hates and form your own opinion. Your taste in games will improve significantly if you do this simple action

Another old commish I made for ForsakenSpirits a bunch of years ago! I would do things so differently today lol #lowpoly #b3d #pixelart

Omg Swedish fika time with @darelooks.dev #nfc #nordicfuzzcon

screw it, imma start using tags again ig #stickman #gamedev #ue5 playing with LODs as a part of art direction and not exclusively as a technical aspect by having a more detailed stick person with outlines become a classic style stick person with no outlines or face detail at distances

i'm starting a new series, called "unusual jump sound effects used in videogames". i will post new discoveries in this thread to start, we have "Techno Cop" on the Amiga [ youtu.be/KPCZqXBgRj8?... ]

Huh… I don’t remember this disaster…

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

On board the ferry to Sweden, right now—in 9 hours I will arrive in Malmö! Most of those 9 hours I won't have any wi-fi, internet or mobile data. Quiet, at last.

Made a last-minute Patreon post to show off character animation progress before heading out to NFC—going to post this stuff publicly when I'm back, a week from now. So, uh, if you want to have a sneak peek, a bit early... www.patreon.com/posts/122430...

""""game-ready"""" ...I sacrificed a burner account to see if we're still safe, because I had the *slight* feeling that AI bros *might* be overselling their new baby toy a little bit, especially since that website curiously didn't post any topology screenshots. Turns out, we're still safe.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena. I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

hey critters. I'm calling for some mutual aid here. Please help out my girlfriend! Due to her ex she owes her city's utility company 900€ and it's causing both of us worries. Even a small amount would go a mile to help

Report: 10:10 Games making layoffs after branding Funko Fusion 'commercial and critical failure' The UK studio has been accused of failing to support employees throughout the process www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rep...

It's an ambush! 😱 #AEROMACHINA #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev

Busy/hectic couple of days—can only now start thinking much about NFC... Time to pack!

Here's a closer look at the model! Haven't done low-poly stuff in quite a while, and I'm sure I'll still iterate over mesh/textures, a bit—but I'm pretty happy with it, already! #lowpoly
