please help, game designers! in my tower defense game, I'd like players to only have to replay the last enemy wave if they fail. however, I can't implement this easily because we have juice (build resource) generators in the game! let me explain why that's an issue… 🧵 1/? #gamedev #gamedesign

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

To put Nintendo's incredible continuity into a bit more perspective- Super Mario Bros. (1985) was made by a team of five people, 38 years ago. Of those five people, four of them worked on Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

One of the standout features of Worldless is its unique enemy design. The contrast between the creature-like enemies and the more abstract, ethereal designs really adds depth and intrigue to the experience.

the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite

There's two things I'm thinking a lot about lately: 1. We should be encouraging young developers to cultivate game design more like it's indie music than the historic commercial game 2. Solo development looks a lot more like Touhou than Stardew Valley and people need to reconcile that

Our medium wouldn't exist or be worth caring about if it weren't for all the queer devs & players who made it what it is. Operating from basics like 'all people deserve love & protection' it's a real low bar for the 'games biz' to embrace them regardless of what bile the black iron prison spits out

This just came up so for anyone who doesn't know - .AI files are a vector file type, they are Adobe Illustrator's native file type. Files ending with .ai don't have anything to do with /that/ kind of AI 🫶 Pls don't call out an artist bc you see them working on an .ai file

Due to multiple reasons I'll be putting Sonic Blast Next on hiatus, as time's gone on this project's become too big for me to keep handling on my own and has felt more like work, for my health I'll be taking a break To be clear, the project's not dead I'm taking time away to focus on other projects.

Fingers crossed I may be going through some learning soon. I found lessons online I'm going to be taking to help me learn game design and try my hand at it. We'll see where it goes since I dropped hours at work I should be able to watch the lessons and still be able to stream! 😊💜 Here's hoping!
