You'll never play fewer video games than when you are working on video games

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?

It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

Wouldn't this assume that the cat in question has an owner? What are the risks that you're collaring a stray? To me a collar implies the cat has an owner and is up-to-date on shots/vaccines/etc. What if someone temporarily takes in a cat assuming that, has other pets, and creates a health situation?

If it makes you feel any better, I've had so many crafts explode on me today as well as hearing them constantly while crafting in the main area. The end crafts are just hard, and the timer makes it worse :(

At first I thought this was a still from a game or film (complimentary), and now I want nothing more than a game or film (or both) in this exact style.

That is to say, this looks incredible!

Still recovering from burnout from a job I left 4 years ago. It absolutely fucks you up long-term.

I specifically farmed those events, fully expecting promos to be tradable, in case friends missed any so they'd still have a way to fill all the spots :/

Also not being able to trade above 1-star cards is salt on the wound.

Two that are often brought up: Proton Mail and Fastmail. I use Fastmail myself. Proton Mail is free and has a paid tier. Fastmail is paid, but to me it's worth it.

I don't get @safety.bsky.app right now. Did they literally just say "listen we won't action people doxxing or harassing Bluesky accounts if the perpetrator does it elsewhere"?

Stop giving this garbage coverage as if it has any importance whatsoever.

Would be nice if I could get out of this game dev slump.

@bsky.app I would appreciate if you'd stop signing me out every day, thanks.

Struggled a bit with this decision, but decided to forgo the 2.5D look and focus solely on a 2D one instead.

2.5D or 2D... ๐Ÿค”

Building a save system, while necessary, is more annoying than I expected it to be. Game dev woes.

It exports to .obj, .gltf, .glb, .dae, and .c3dp

Yup! My format of choice is .obj and then bring them straight over to the engine. A very smooth process.

@crocotile3d.bsky.social makes getting 3D assets in place a breeze for people like me who have no modeling skills.

More menu stuff, now with animations. @kenney.bsky.social assets makes getting UI in place extremely easy. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Since we now have video, here's a crappy menu system I've been working on that has already changed since recording this. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Yup, still waiting for (upload) support to really be any kind of active here. That and 2FA which boggles my mind why that's not a thing.

Icon hover/alt text would also be nice.

@gamedevlist.bsky.social I'd like to be added.

Waiting for bluesky to add video and gif support so I can actually post things I'm working on.
