the point of LTS is to have stable release right? but then this is the 2nd time i need to update 6.3 because of some package manager bug :///

Finally have 8 hours of sleep for the first time this week, endfield the factorio impact wrecked me up

(no it's not 4koma i just want to shitpost more)

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

My 2025 in manga

- Personal struggles of work in creative industry (Eren the Southpaw)
- Repetition of drawing (Blank Canvas)
- Joy in travelling (Mono)
- More exposure to mental health (The Counselor Through the Years and Stars)
- Learning my risk appetite in "investing" (FX Fighter Kurumi-chan)

UNBEATABLE - Important Announcement regarding UNBEATABLE - Steam News Hi! UNBEATABLE was supposed to come out tomorrow! That’s a scary sentence. Here’s a worse one: UNBEATABLE will now release on December 9.  I hate that I have to say this. There’s no way to apologize f...

Hi. I've been trying but I can't come up with a good thing to write here because the thing I wrote in this steam post took most of my energy.

now that it's free, i'm going to spend my time learning affinity so I can stop this stupid photoshop subscription

for one, it seems like i can easily create / edit separate layer for each channel (using channel mixer adjustment), which is what i do most in ps anyway (creating textures / masks)

See how far we’ve been cooking!

Scene setup for art direction How to use showcase scenes to work on your game art

Hey I wrote a blog post

It's about setting up test-levels for art direction (and more)
I'm new to this blog thing so tell me honestly what you think alright?

very nice breakdown ni

oalaah anjay lucu
tho rada ganggu y mesti reply dulu ke post mereka

interestiing, baca2 dulu

eee how? liat2 ada dewey tp itu di luar

daamn rabbit hole, still need to understand / learn more about atprotocol but it inspired some ideas hmm

bro how many projects do you work

LOL

I think the difference is I really neglect it by not having my own space and just exclusively rely on others.

If I were to prioritize writing for my own notes first THEN post it to other places, it would be a good balance I think?

(in theory, who knows my PC could explode tomorrow)

Bsky feels like a fresh start, and I was thinking of reposting learnings / breakdowns. Buuut..

I moved site A LOT these past decades, and there is no guarantee that it won't happen again here. I'm a bit tired haha

Is it time to rebuild my own site? Will take a long time but might as well...

🫖🍵

Locals used to gather at this cafe. Now it's missing the warmth of laughter and gossip. After you heal the people and they come back here, what do you think is the first thing they order?
