Aujourd'hui, je sors en avance une bande son pour un projet qui n'a pas encore vu le jour, la soundtrack de la saison 3 de INCARNE de @pierrelovati.bsky.social . Originalement enregistrée en 2018. C'est un travail dont je suis extrêmement fière. chezmonplaisir.bandcamp.com/album/infini...

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

Weil ich gerade als Experte zum Thema für ein Forschungsprojekt interviewt wurde: Ich finde, ALLE Spiele, in denen es Mikrotransaktionen gibt, sollten ab 18 sein und Kindern verboten werden. Roblox, Fortnite, Brawl Stars. Es gibt keinen Grund, Kinder den Machine-Gambling-Psychotricks auszusetzen.

Let's show and tell your favourite underdog games! Below 500 Steam user-reviews. 100, even better! Link it and say why you love it! Copy Kitty is a dense, technical Treasure-inspired platform shooter with heart, and a fantastic NG+ mode that continues the story. It gets better the deeper you go.

This statement is like saying "Debbie the cashier at the corner store won the mega millions, therefore some cashiers can outperform CEOs." It entirely ignores the probabilities and outcomes to make a statement that means nothing in the larger context. Breakout indie darlings aren't new, just rare.

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

A reminder of the simple but often forgotten truth that all three of Harebrained Shemes' Shadowrun games were brilliant. If you haven't played them, well, do so.

In NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, switching weapons as quickly as possible is the key to efficiently dispatching enemies. NIGHTMARE OPERATORでは武器を素早く切り替えることが、敵を効率的に倒す鍵となります。 #nightmareoperator #indiegame #psx #ps1 #gamedev #TPS #actiongame

We are a desperately lonely species, lmao

This video is actually incredible. Just a really beautiful, haunting piece that sits with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4gq...

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it. moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards. that's it. Have fun! onemillionchessboards.com

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

This is great and horrific open.substack.com/pub/samkriss...

It's amazing to see game critics come over to try game dev and sort of fumble through it with the fresh realization that making games is really fucking hard.

heads up, if you have german friends (or really anyone) visiting the US please warn them: www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/g... GDC is around the corner and it seems incredibly unsafe to visit the US at all. please be informed so this doesn’t happen to you.

With maaaaybe a little bit of Dancefloor is Lava in it 😏

too much gamedev advice focuses on making a success. success is such a complicated, often random, and subjective thing. i want more advice on learning from your failures or even openly celebrating failure. destigmatize failure please 🙏🥲

February's free 1-page RPG is HORSE AROUND THE HOUSE, a horror game set during an inescapable sitcom which features a live, untrained horse in every scene that gradually kicks you to death. PDFs, design notes, and a fan-made dice-stacking plugin to play online here: www.patreon.com/posts/horse-...

I just released the Museum of All Things version 1.0!!! You can find it at mayeclair.itch.io/museum-of-al...
