#whatagamedevlookslike Hey! I'm a 2D/3D character artist, animator, and 1/3 of Rocket Adrift. I'm also a WOC. I'm not at GDC as I've never been able to afford it. Despite barriers like this, I've been developing games since 2019 and I'm gonna continue to as long as I can!
Thanks! I'm Lindsay, Co-founder of @rocketadrift.bsky.social and character artist/animator. I've worked on Raptor Boyfriend, Psychroma, Dead Finger Dice, and am currently working on an unannounced survival horror game.

Happy International Women's Day! Rocket Adrift Games is 2/3rds founded, run and operated by women! @linrocketadrift.bsky.social and @slowntimeevent.bsky.social have been working on games that center women and gender-queer characters since 2021 and we're still going strong!

Folks with prior success are struggling to realize that the game industry has changed completely. It's never going back to how it was. Funding, development, and audiences have all fragmented and that is the "new normal." Only folks who have been scrapping their whole career will weather this change.
Got some emissive materials working

Did you know? 💭 83% of Black teens play games, but only 2% of creators are Black. We aim to address disparities like this.

I lived through publishers telling me constantly that NFTs and Crypto games were the future and I needed to get on the train and design them or I'd be left behind.
I said NO.
I'll outlast "AI generated games" too. That's an oath.

Hey game designer chums, don’t care how big the check is. If I see your name on a table top or board game related to this we’re not cool any more.
No one is playing Relooted despite the fanfare in the press and during the SGF block. This follows a larger trend of games journalists and readers celebrating games that center marginalized voices but not actually playing the games or engaging with them or supporting the developers financially

We build to 4K resolutions, but it's always worth a reminder that the majority of players on Steam still use 1080p.
Hey, everyone! I'm a black queer woman and co-founder of Rocket Adrift Games, a small indie game developer studio.
I make character designs and animations as well as lead in marketing for Raptor Boyfriend, Psychroma, and Dead Finger Dice!

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow!
This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more.
Less wrestling with UI. More making games.
godotengine.org/releases/4.6
Got some animations going in engine. Positions are a bit wonky, so it's still a WIP. Super excited though!

Reading this was infuriating, and the award seizure is only partly why.
Worth reading though. A bitter example of how badly the game industry fails those who do the actual work.
Look at the difference a few flat textures (and some lighting) makes! You can grab the textures for free, a gift from me to you; kenney.nl/assets/retro... #gamedev
Doing some style tests while also learning more 3D modeling in #Blender. Modeled Kei from Akira in this low-poly style.
