I took a week off #gamedev to spend time with wife and kiddo over Easter school holidays.
I'm now trying to figure out what was wrong with me a week ago. I'm looking at some of the stuff i have done very confused as to why.

Tech Talk: Trezy and the Games Industry Labeler & Game Dev Feed Trezy built a Games Industry Labeler, including self-labeled and verified accounts, moderated with an Ozone instance, as well maintaining a Game Dev Feed.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler.

Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later.

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. ๐Ÿฅฐ

#gamedev is where you don't touch any software all day, but instead spend it on emails and documentation, right?

10/10 Joke, but a little fun fact, the earliest recipe for Mash potato is southern native American. potato being native to south America.

Today my #gamedev adventure was fiddling with my player controller and trying to get Motion Matching to work better, after 8 hours, I have made 0 difference to anything and successfully gave myself a headache.

I have been working on a new Project with the placeholder Title: British Museum The Heist, BMTH. having some friends do some playtests, feedback was I thought this was something to do with Bring Me The Horizon. did not see that until now. really need to come up with a better title.

I only drink water, should I drink some energy drinks to balance it out? just for symmetry?

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation ๐Ÿงต!

Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games!

Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if youโ€™re also on the art side of game dev!

You recover from burnout? I just have a quick cry in the shower and then get right back to the grind the next day.

Well that tiktok ban lasted longer than some Aussie prime ministers

you forgot the existential dread and crying.. so much crying.

It perplexes me that the TikTok ban is even a thing. the hubris of the US to think it can dictate ownership of private enterprise, that a foreign entity would kowtow to their whims of Sinophobia masquerading as concerns for the user data. is bafflingly sad and funny all at once.

Really good stats, sad you can never play a match with them again. funny number law dictates.

I long for a Bookmark or save feature...

I really hope that this is one of those times i'm just being dumb and not seeing it for looking.

Things I wish all modern games had at launch:

๐Ÿ“ธ Photo mode

โธ๏ธ Being able to pause cutscenes

๐Ÿ’พ AUTOSAVE

๐ŸŽฎ Remapping controls and buttons

๐Ÿช– Adjustable difficulty for each aspect of the gameplay

These just make games better in my opinion ๐Ÿ”ฅ
