On week 3 of gym every morning before work and I genuinely feel like I have more energy and focus.

I took a week off #gamedev to spend time with wife and kiddo over Easter school holidays. I'm now trying to figure out what was wrong with me a week ago. I'm looking at some of the stuff i have done very confused as to why.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler. Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later. Tech talk here with background -> atprotocol.dev/tech-talk-tr...

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

#gamedev is where you don't touch any software all day, but instead spend it on emails and documentation, right?

Trim Sheets... that's all. #GameDevelopment

Today my #gamedev adventure was fiddling with my player controller and trying to get Motion Matching to work better, after 8 hours, I have made 0 difference to anything and successfully gave myself a headache.

I have been working on a new Project with the placeholder Title: British Museum The Heist, BMTH. having some friends do some playtests, feedback was I thought this was something to do with Bring Me The Horizon. did not see that until now. really need to come up with a better title. #solodev #gamedev

Go turn off GenAI on your Pinterest! Settings then privacy, uncheck the box! They've updated their ToC effective April 30, 2025

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!

Watching Tarzan(animated) with my kid this morning, can I just say sweet zombie jesus Phil collins cooked with this soundtrack.

I'm on my 5th bout of covid since 2020, fully vaxxed, this is the worst I have ever had it.

Well that tiktok ban lasted longer than some Aussie prime ministers

It perplexes me that the TikTok ban is even a thing. the hubris of the US to think it can dictate ownership of private enterprise, that a foreign entity would kowtow to their whims of Sinophobia masquerading as concerns for the user data. is bafflingly sad and funny all at once.

Things I wish all modern games had at launch: 📸 Photo mode ⏸️ Being able to pause cutscenes 💾 AUTOSAVE 🎮 Remapping controls and buttons 🪖 Adjustable difficulty for each aspect of the gameplay These just make games better in my opinion 🔥

In case I was ever mean to you in 2024, work on yourself so I don't have to be mean again in 2025

When I taught interactive narrative at a university, the students had a month for their final projects (group). My course was structured as a workshop where the assignments were like tasks you’d be assigned as a junior narrative designer in a studio… /1

This year I am making a promise to myself to actually invest time into creating a social media presence for myself and current project.

I finally have been followed by a porn bot. Bluesky has fallen, the end is nigh. /s

I'm very happy Astrobot won GOTY. I was worried that DLC was going to win and a shit precedent would be set.

My child is currently asleep on me, he looks like a dying victorian era child.

The sudden rise of pearl clutching and fear mongering about a wave of right wing chud agitators invading, is really dumb and annoying to see, follow a couple block lists, block and report any harassers and set your account so log out visibility is off, really not difficult.

This is a really good read, highly recommend

I am once again looking for work as a Character artists/Outsource artist Prev exp - XDefiant/ Ubisoft Head Scan artist (lead on one project)/VASG/SONY Senior tech artist/Lightstage 3d clothing/smart materials/establishing workflows Just updated my portfolio here www.artstation.com/elizabethn

This might be the funniest thing

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

Going from being a professional athlete to having a undiagnosed chronic illness and being overweight has been crazy hard.
