The perception of cheaply made games by like 1 dude minus all the contractors that blow up hurts us because when we ask for a real budget, someone says "well I saw an article that this other game cost $60K to make and sold 1 million copies" and that ends the convo

i know for a fact that if i play wind waker on switch 2 now they'll announce the hd version the very moment i complete the triforce hunt i just know it

Hi I’m Des I’m a solo dev and been in games for 14 years and looking to join your team of other likeminded solo devs.

games would still exist without gamers. games would still exist without the hype machine, awards shows, CEOs, idea guys, streamers, press… games *would not* exist without the people that *make* them. maybe we should stop treating devs as expendable.

hell yea i'm a SOLO DEV Stepping On Lots Of Dudes Every Valentine's Day

going to make a game by myself does anyone want to do the art or music or code

the answer really is always just "rich dad"

Tune into the Xbox showcase on Sunday where they'll reveal the next Call of Duty, made by a solo dev and 2,999 of his friends

wishing everyone a joyful and unshackled pride month <3

still struggle to believe publishers aren't tripping over themselves to sign this team but that's just how fucked this industry is at the moment i guess

they just don't make em like this any more huh

ok i've figured out what i'm finding weird - the world is made up of courses, with paths between. but often you only do 1 lap of the actual course when you get there.. feels weird to not do multiple laps? 2/3rds of your time is driving in the in between space, which feels less distinct, more mushy

what an _interesting_ video game

🥺🥺🥺

the streets this month when my gender non-conforming, septum-piercing-having friends and I hit the pride marches

"mum take a photo of me for my friends on the internet"

Yup

you might soon have a spare nintendo console hanging about, and YES obviously you can TRY and get some cash money but EVERYONE's gonna be trying to flog their switch now right? so what if you traded it for much more valuable _moral currency_ instead 😘 check out @gwguk.bsky.social they do good work

sublime dogmouthing with a really great dog

People, I know you're super excited for launch but please please *please* have basic courtesy. Some people aren't able to play Switch 2 Welcome Tour at launch and want to go in blind. You should respect them. If you want to discuss the Switch 2's features and specs, give proper spoiler warnings

if argos don't send me some kinda shipping notification soon i am gonna become the joker but like a really sad joker so, like, the cryer

Welcome to BOTSU City 🏙️🤩 Our solo developer Oscar has been hard at work adding some awesome additions to the player hub! Can you recognise some of these familiar constructions? 🎡👀

listen everyone, Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney probably believes all kinds of wacky shit, that doesn't mean we need to engage with it

keep thinking about how we're at the point where "try actually doing the work you're assigned" is legit advice. thanks AI!! already making our lives so much better the next few years/decades of media is just gonna be a real slog

it was just a prank bro
