i wanna have an honest conversation about pay in the industry right now. doing so is scary. here's thoughts: 1. funding for indies is near non-existent 2. most indies are self-funding, aka regular person paying out of their bank account that looks like yours 3. is a little pay better than zero pay?

Fun bug for today: Loading a save game doesn't delete the old player, so if you know where you were you can go and kill your past self (Which also kills you)

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

More and more as time goes on, I think people ask "where do I start with x thing" as an excuse to not start it. Because we've been living in an age where that information has been available to you free of charge with your search engine of choice. There is no 'best' way beyond just actually doing it

Another #AgentsOfGroove level that has come a long way, as seen here, Daley's office looks a lot different today compared to its earliest version (the disco ball is still there for the tutorials that need it). Getting closer to the final look. #gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday #playdate
