The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Added Respawn effect, I'm too giddy about this #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev

Hey folks,
just wrapped up developing Tiny Whiny Island, a cozy open-world game I produced with five awesome friends. I’d love it if you could take a moment to wishlist it on Steam! It would mean the world to us!

Next week, I'll be doing the BAD Game Jam.

"Instead of trying to make games that are perfect, polished, and fun, let's make games that are broken, unfinished, and interesting. This game jam is about having fun making games NOT making games that are fun."

The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.

The whole "I'm an artist! I need to get with X company to make it!" needs to fucking die in a fire.

EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Cliffhanger Games - IGN Electronic Arts is canceling its planned Black Panther game and shutting down developer Cliffhanger Games, IGN has learned.

Days like today are why people give up on #gamedev and become like… real estate agents…

There are easier ways to make money. And industries with way more competent leadership….

Hungry Hungry Hippos was a tragic game. They weren't actually hungry, it was emotional eating. It was a cry for help but we just laughed and laughed.

If my game doesn't get banned from steam, I would be shocked.

DOGWALK - Early Access - Blender Studio The production is done. The game is feature complete. Download and play it now!

#Blender Studio created a game using #Godot. It's open source code and assets!

Graph of yearly releases on Steam from 2004 to 2024 with the massive growth from 2014 onwards to 18,678 games released in 2024.

This didn't happen by random chance of the market or some neutral development of technology. The game industry, like many industries, figured out how to outsource all the risks and costs of production onto the aspirational while capturing their own cut as rent. Game devs are uber drivers now.

Every 3 days, I get a newsletter from Linkden recommending me this scam of a company to work it. I'm tired of getting spammed by them for a year, and linkden doesn't have a block function for job postings. You don't need them, Make your own game dev studio! #Linkden #gamedev #indiegame
