Not much to share for #DinoCleanup on this #WishlistWednesday, but thought I'd show a closer look at our triceratops friend Cera. They tend to the big tree in the centre of the hub (more on that later).

If you've been enjoying our games consider be sure to leave a positive review on Steam - it's one of the best ways to support our future titles!

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the β€œgorgeous mosaic” we call home.

Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

doubly so in a world where tools and tech are CONSTANTLY changing - learning the exact keys and menus to a tool is meaningless if they revamp the UI (e.g. Blender). worry more about learning "why"s, not the "what"s

nowadays there are so many resources (good and bad) for self-teaching that it's easy to get stuck in tutorial hell. it's boring to hear but there truly is no replacement for good old-fashioned practice, especially if you wanna learn to improvise and do anything novel

coming from somebody self-taught in pretty much everything - yea the most important thing you can do is actually try things you actually want to do, then ask informed questions when you hit a wall.

beyond studying accepted fundamentals, this is how you actually learn

Level Buddy by Matt Lucas A Blender 3D add-on for CSG style level creation inspired by old-school level editors like Unreal 1&2 and DoomEd.

I recently found this great plugin for blender that adds tools like the quake level editor. Do any of y'all other more robust level editing programs/plugins for blender like this? I love this workflow and want to explore more stuff like it.

SANTACORPS 4

SANTACORPS 4

β€œI'm prone to circadian polyrhythms for weeks at a time, by the time the holidays roll around I'm all sorts of out of it. In a way I kinda like the hustle and bustle though, especially living in NYC where so much of the city gets dolled up in decorations for the year. I actually like to go out for walks sometimes in the thick of the frenzies just to take it all in." - Ethan Redd
