Teaser Trailer ❤️‍🔥 Hell Maiden AstralShift's New Game Title inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. #HellMaiden #AstralShift www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1sy...

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Hi! Will be deleting my twitter account eventually, so I'll make this thread with some of my fav old posts...

Rare tech art content: I fix anime eyes in Unreal Engine again. If you want anime style eyes but use shadows, lumen, ssao etc and use established anime eye authoring you will get too much shadow in the eye cavity. My solve is usually re-authoring the eyes and making a parallax uv shader to move em

Final stretch for the AI and Games Kickstarter, it would be nice if it reaches the Unreal stretch goal, only a few hundred pounds away :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/aia... #ai #gamedev #indiegamedev

I wrote a small series of articles earlier this year about some gameplay features I worked on in Psychonauts 2. A little look into how we built and tuned the systems. Here’s the one about Raz’s jump: doublefine.com/news/devin-a...

With #GoalState still going strong with 19 days to go, I figured let's get in on the social media fun. For every like, I'll drop a little bit of Goal State and/or AI and Games lore. Let's do this! 😁 Don't forget to check out the #Kickstarter too! bit.ly/GoalState

I've duplicated my gamedev tricks thread in a couple different social networks; I thought it was time to just bundle all together in one blog post, easier to check all, and if some site goes down my blog stays! www.david-amador.com...

I just backed @aiandgames.bsky.social 's new kickstarter, and I'd recommend anyone with an interest in game AI to do the same :) Goal State: Teaching AI for Game Development, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/aia... #AI #GameDev #Kickstarter

If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known 🧵 1/6

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better. Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful

Hello! First post on bluesky, I'm Ian, senior artist at Ustwo Games. Working on Monument Valley 3 right now. Also work on personal games in my free time. Love making naturey stuff and bugs and little creatures

Because one list wasn't enough, here's a second one in the works, just as wonderful as the first. From a golden age of Twitter posters, an era long lost, I present to you Indie Devs & Art Friends: Part 2. go.bsky.app/NXXMPqg

Yo Bluesky 🦋! Uploading some newish stuff I've made. Here's a fishmonger with some skills!

Went through my likes to find all the starter packs I've interacted with to have them in one place. List in the comments, mostly game dev and art packs. No particular order. Please comment if you have any other good ones.

Now that more people are joining, decided to create a starter pack for peeps in the AAA gamedev industry to help anyone moving over from the Elon lands! go.bsky.app/967gRNQ

The changes to blocking might be the final straw for many. Here are some starter packs to help those moving over! 👇 Indie Devs & Artists – go.bsky.app/98Vcxfm Members from @thegig.bsky.social – go.bsky.app/UUkuMMg Portuguese Games Industry – go.bsky.app/JhcMTM8 Wholesome Games – go.bsky.app/K8FkqJM

Let's try an AMA. If you've got any questions for me (indiedev, animation or otherwise) then feel free to drop them in the replies and I'll answer them over the weekend 👍🏻

✨🎉AstralShift is officially on Bluesky!🎉✨ Follow us to keep up with any updates and news about our two games — Little Goody Two Shoes and Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum — and any other AstralShift updates!💖

Since Bsky has video, I reckon it's only fitting that Dumpster Diver (...I'll workshop that name later) be the first one! This is a small demo of some of the game mechanics. You control a little raccoon fellow in a city overrun by rats, who have taken control of all trash in town! #madewithunity

Time to reintroduce myself! I’m Edgar, a Senior Game Designer at btf currently working on Constance. I’m also a teacher at a Game Design postgrad in Portugal and do pro-bono biz dev and design consultation for indie studios/devs. Hi to all the new followers and welcome to our little cozy corner 😊👋

Hey everyone! I'm a game dev from Portugal who codes and does game design, mainly in Unreal, sometimes Unity I've been doing mostly client work lately so not much to show off (soon? 👀) but I've worked on games like Dakar 18 and Super Nanny Sleepytime Looking forward to meet y'all :) #gamedev

List updated! Thank you all for the support. Initially, the list included mostly old friends from around 2015 who helped build the Twitter dev community after we moved on from Tig Source. I’ve added a few newcomers as well. Nothing prevents us from creating more starter packs! Very soon Thank you
