game development is my job

really specific genre of indie anguish on the tl today

Remember to pour one out for the indies making "a spiritual successor to _____", because they were just hit with like, eight 9/11s

also the e-mail address of the guy behind FEAR's game AI planner starts with "jorkin" so live with that knowledge

It's such 101 baby level stuff, but it never stops being funny to see old forum comments arguing whether behavior trees vs FSMs vs GOAP are smarter, because player99 heard XYZ uses one for its enemies' reasoning engine When the choice is mostly just about how it affects your production pipeline

seeing this kind of video makes me want to pick up a pencil and make some, to be realistic, dogshit, but i'd have fun

i love seeing the subtle red lines underneath these frames man

Something Bungie consistently killed at was knowing if you want to deliver a sense of scale, it's not enough to have a Big Thing. You need layers between you and the main subject, giving players understandable reference points and leveraging parallax, to really sell it.

This is one of the most unfortunately real threads I've ever read. If you want a chance at landing a publishing deal, you need to not need one. This industry doesn't 'have' places for people anymore, it's a stone block of venture capital that people are desperately trying to carve space out of.

this ad is for a multi-billion dollar project. there are no rules anymore. do whatever the fuck you want.

thank you itch io dot web site......... ❤️

indies can't "save us". that sentiment is a well-meaning, comforting reduction designed to paper over a need for fundamental change, and stop consumers from thinking differently about art indies are stuck in it with the rest of them. what comes after will not be what came before.

pulling up to the function in my kirkland court classics and getting bullied so hard i cry

hello! basically today is the deadline for this to happen from my understanding. it would obviously be extremely appreciated and it would allow UNBEATABLE to be entered into the grammy awards, which it is literally only barred from right now because nobody is a voting member of the recording academy
