I do this all the time, it's like having a time travel device!

Another great use is for "oops I messed stuff up I actually just want to discard my changes" you can do that too!

How do you choose the colors? These look incredible

FINALLY someone agrees with me.

Break the targets. #love2d #gamedev

Running GM2024.11+ games on Windows 7 Games compiled with GameMaker 2024.11 or newer do not run on Windows 7 out of box, but that's a fixable oversight. Continue reading →

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

Don’t look away.

Imo we all need to be "overpricing" our games. When you underprice it just devalues your game. People don't even look because subconsciously they think "5 dollars? must be cheap shovelware"

Devs forget you can always put your game on sale 90% off, there are no rules! Set the base price high!!

People are always going to be cheap.. if you sell your game for 5 dollars base price people are going to wait for it to be on sale for a dollar....

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

After nearly a year of development, Fallacy Quiz just came out on Steam, my solo / local-multiplayer quiz game about rhetorical and logical fallacies (or how to learn in a fun way how people manipulate you and how to stick it to them) Should be out right now 😀 store.steampowered.com/app/2847380/...

AI thumbnail, blocked.

I wouldn't be making games at all if it weren't for @pentadact.bsky.social 's "how to make a game with no experience" tutorial series.

That connected with me in a way I really needed it to at the time.

Smooth lighting and a day night cycle! (and a few surprises)

Play it at avis.itch.io/helisub (v early demo, not much to do)

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

This is absolutely incredible, is there any chance we might see @aseprite.org Integration?

Absolute peak, love your color work.

Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback!
