I find it very interesting that every time a company attempts a Steam competitor, they never copy all of the features and components that make Steam so popular for both players and developers.

While I haven't experienced this for YouTube, I have seen submissions rejected on many platforms if any mention or image depicts another brand or someone else's hardware.

It can be tricky to work around especially for prepaid marketing material

Intended, will not fix

Video game developers do cool stuff and I’m grateful to them

Playing games & trying to resist the urge to make clones of them tailored to my tastes instead of working on my own shit

To every PM who had to completely shift project plans this week because of the Unity vulnerability: hey at least it's Friday!

indiedevs are why videogames became big business, wouldn't exist without them and deserve as much support, keeping that spirit alive—

I want to see indie developers explore the concepts of limited movement more, similar to Classic Castlevania; how you had no control over the direction of your jumps mid air, and the slight delay in your attacks. where every movement you make matters. that last point is really what I want to see

Hey gamers, did you know that game developers share updates about their upcoming games on Saturdays using the hashtag #ScreenshotSaturday‽ Check out the Screenshot Saturday feed for the inside scoop on new indie games!

The lighting is fantastic!

Until your Dusk you mean?

This is HUGE NEWS for games made in Unity!

If you're a Unity dev you can now add native screen reader support for mobile and PC/Mac using the native OS screen readers! So Windows Narrator and macOS VoiceOver will be able to be used in PC/Mac games!!!!

This will be HUGE for blind players!!!

I'm unsure about the perfect free platform. But consider how others will find your content and how it will display on social posts and webhooks, that might define which one you go with

What a cool mix of styles! The minimal FTL-like interface with the Obra Dinn environment detail

Strategy Game Battle UI I was doing research on trends in the Strategy Game UI styles. And you can see a clear pattern that starts with simple left or right bar…

Stumbled upon this study on the evolution of Strategy Game UI over the years by Treeform. Cool to see the reduction in screen real-estate

Much better bullet system, you can now draw in space then fly through the bullets

Ive seen this work well for games with simple / small amount of control schemes.

Just make sure it's easy to distinguish against the menu buttons

There could easily be showrooms running the first episode of many different anime, something Crunchyroll or other major platforms could put on for almost no cost and could be used to introduce viewers to the less popular shows.

Back from #animenyc, had a great time meeting some indie devs and snagged some gorgeous art. I couldn't help but feel like there's not enough to do outside of purchasing.

There were less than 6 panels per day and barely any shows. A surprising lack of anime to watch at Anime NYC.

Thankfully wireless cards are typically one of the easiest to replace in a laptop. And are pretty cheap online if you have problems in the future

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨
