If your game has multiple currencies you never put just the currency icon on a button like "1000 <icon>". You ALWAYS add the name "1000 <icon><currency-name>". Especially if your icons look pretty much the same >:[

Turkish government proposes legislation that would throttle Steam and other gaming platforms into unusability if they don't comply with demands for company data and content removal Companies that fail to deliver their information within five days would face escalating fines and up to 90% bandwidth restriction.

On the "what we've been dealing with this time as the Turkish games industry" news:

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

Leaving 2025 properly behind and starting 2026 with the traditional UESP calendar and yet another amazing package of arts and goods from @uesp.net

To another 30 years, friends. Let lore be your armor! 🧡

Thank you Julz! Yeah I had always thought "ehh I'll get to it later once I'm done with all these other things" and then learned it the hard way thats not a great strategy after all 🤣 Now its all about doing it both. Take care and do all the things we shall see how that goes lol

2025 was a transition year. So many outstanding injuries from years prior piled up due to trying to do everything. The job, my indie game, streaming, the podcast... and my body started to signal collapse so I took a break from it all and started fixing my body. Hence the general absence...

Have I neglected my projects and streams in 2025? Yes.
Have I instead recovered from several injuries and chronic pain, and got in the best shape of my life at 32? Also yes.

And now its time to get back to it all and cook in 2026.

You too Julz! We shall conquer 26'! \o/

I made it

All I want from 2026 is for @unity.com to finally update the stupid wheel collider.. 🥲

As amazing as that could be, that also requires funding, which has also been running dry in the industry with conditions getting worse and worse when and if a publisher/investor might be interested in a deal :/

I am tired of seeing friends and colleagues, people I love and respect as a fan, people I know to be great at what they do as a dev, to be treated this way by this damn industry man :(

This sounds amazing and I'm looking forward to reading it! ✨️✨️

So, there you have it - who would have thought that a make-believe world with dragons, magic and a bunch of cheese wheels could mean so much? As we finish our discussion on video games, neurodiversity, emotions and how they all fit together, I can't help but smile at the idea that each of us will find our own version of 'home' in Skyrim. Whether you play as a brave hero or a cunning thief, or just dealing with the twists and turns of everyday life, I hope your journey is full of fun, surprises and maybe a tasty sweet roll or two. After all, in this great adventure called life, we could all do with a little Dragonborn resilience and the warmth of a virtual hearth. Happy gaming, fellow travelers. "May your roads lead to warm sands." - Khajiit, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

It’s been a long journey, but today is the day I get to reveal the book that makes me a published author. How about that! 🫨 ‘The Psychgeist of Pop Culture – The Elder Scrolls’ is out!

Experimenting with various formulas/geometry and resolutions for the terrain deformation and I may or may not, possibly, maybe perhaps, messed up certain calculations. Just a feeling. A hunch. Couldn't really say... 🤔

That said; the game has great bones. Its fun, its runs smooth for early access, and understansbly received well. I just hope through this success they stand by their word and do right by the VAs of the industry.

Better be a higher up on the list of the things to do with how well the early access has been received but as you said... we'll see.

Well turns out Jump Space uses AI for voices. Could've just not added voice to said items or whatever during Early Access. 😩

Fff... the AI Generated Content Disclouse should be higher up on the Steam Page...

Well, damn. AI continue to ruin all things good :( I'll see if i can find any info on whether if they changed course, or if it was at least one of those that pay the actors themselves for licensing etc, though im not hopeful :/

AI voice as in the voice actor for the AI npc in the game or are they using actual AI voice generators in the game?

Just played the prologue and its gorgeouuus. Its scratching that ever existing space-scifi itch nicely. Time to hop on with a crew...

There is still quite a bit of maths to figure out to capture a realistic-ish feeling across the board with different situations, be it weight, explosions, soil displacement etc, as well as optimization.

Also the vehicle controller in the video is the amazing @vehiclephysics.bsky.social, not mine.

Developing a real-time terrain interactions tool for Unity for an idea I'm prototyping. Mainly catering to vehicles, but it should work for anything that needs real-time deformation with physics (i.e explosions) & per-texture properties (i.e physics, particles). It's been a fun new challenge 👀

VPP is already amazing but if you also release a solution for this that works with VPP it would be above and beyond great. I've been working on a real-time terrain deformation tool to go with VPP (and anything else, really) and this has been an issue because of the wheel jumps and visual glitches

My top-three physics feature requests Updated: September 2021 This is mostly for @yant , but I decided to post these requests here for public discussion. 1. WheelCollider: Implement PxVehicleSuspensionSweeps This provides contacts beyo...

Considering Edy @vehiclephysics.bsky.social has been asking for it since... 2018 and there hasn't been a defined solution to it since then I don't think this is going to be a hoop I'll be able to jump through lol. But hey, sometimes I can hack it just right... discussions.unity.com/t/my-top-thr...

How in 2025 and Unity 6.whatever the built-in WheelCollider is still based on a single vertical raycast to the ground at the center instead of a full sweep..? The hoops this engine has been making me jump through at every corner for the last decade... 😮‍💨

One road trip from Berlin away!
