75375 Alternate 4 in 1 Bundle: Outrider + Razor Crest + Ghost + Otana Looking for a different bundle?ย Check out my page to find other bundles:

Nice haul and congrats! Someone created nice alternative builds for the Millenium Falcon set btw. I don't know if you're interested in that, but those builds also look quite good

I'm also just learning. It isn't as bad as it was 5 years ago. Just installed it and it handled all the drivers by itself.

I'm also finding loads of alternative software packages. But as you stated, if you use it for work, it might be impossible to use.

Atlas of Space An interactive exploration of the planets, moons, asteroids, and other objects in the Solar System.

This is VERY cool, and clever. An interactive atlas of the Solar System.

Yeah, this. You can boot from the HD if it has any, but you can also boot from a floppy disk. That flashing icon means it has problems finding proper boot code/OS

A big sheet of paper with random notes and sketches using colored markers scattered haphazardly.
Various ideas are written like "Fire is grid based and spreads :(" and "Questions: real time or turn based?"

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL -
Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers.

You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

Lost for 40+ years, we're extremely happy to announce that Stairway to the Stars (#Commodore #VIC20) - 3rd game in Mike Taylor's Magic Mirror series has finally been saved. This is thanks to phenomenal work of Tommi Lempinen & Tom Roger Skauen for #GTW

Indie devs I am begging you to use readable fonts anywhere a font is present anywhere in your game.

Completely understand desire to use a font that feels appropriately stylised for art direction, but some fonts genuinely hurt your players ability to play your game from accessibility perspective

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional โค๏ธ

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Any environment artists available to do some freelance work for @veelpoot.com? Need some fantasy buildings made for our upcoming Skyrim mod!

Paid opportunity, of course!

I'm a sucker for fighting game design documents and really enjoyed this one for the UI design of X-Men: Children of the Atom with comic art pasted in as a representative battle.

Someone has just posted a scan of The Making of Landstalker, a book packed with information, development photos and design documents about the game.
