I remember reading the book non stop in highschool and the movie is still so fun
this is extremely fucking funny but also i cannot stress enough that LLMs are just outputting stuff that looks kinda like the stuff they've been trained on and when you ask them why they did something, they're just outputting even more stuff that looks kinda like the stuff they've been trained on

Indie developers flocked to the open-source engine after the Unity runtime fee saga of 2023. Now, the Godot Foundation, Pistol Shrimp, Bytten Studio and Walaber Entertainment explain what has happened since.

BY THE WAY I've heard some exceptionally good things about Mythmatch. Like, 'it's a game you pick up for 20 mins and accidentally play for 10 hours straight' sort of good. I don't think it looks like that sort of thing, but it is.
Also Moo is one of the best people on the planet, so go wishlist it.
Godspeed! π₯²π«‘

At @developconference.com last week, Remedy's @samlakewrites.bsky.social discussed why collaboration and teamwork is key, and how games are the best outlet for exploring deep, intricate narratives

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

The rest of the time was about game dev - I promise!!
James Gunn hails βPADDINGTON 2β as βone of the greatest movies ever made.β
βItβs a classic - people think Iβm being ironic, but Iβm telling the truth.β

the thing i most resent AI for is ruining stupid [complimentary] brain-empty no-thoughts shit like this for the rest of us. code on the back of the monitor could be very funny if anything other than the tree burning copyright infringement machine made it
13.07.2025 11:57 β π 93 π 14 π¬ 1 π 0We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
These challenges only make us stronger... right?? π€£π€£
For the love of making games!! πͺπ

Awesome! I get why people love doing it! It has been a hard time for games but I've come away absolutely buzzing about making games! You and your team do brilliant work!! Very excited for PWS2!
Brighton is so pretty! Bless up the weather and funky wee places to eat at!
Also it felt good to meet another team who have suffered the pain of unity's addressables π€£
I had a laugh with my team about it as we recalled our adventures with them!
π₯Ήππ !! I'm really glad people enjoyed it!! Thank you!!
It was my 1st ever develop and it was phenomenal! I have come out of it super inspired!
Pete's talk was so dang good I had a high bar to follow!!

Develop is awesome!? I need to do it more! Did you have a good 1?
Boo! Yeah it was sooo busy and my time was quite sparse myself!
My 1st develop though and it was Amazing!

Yesterday our Lead Programmer Steph gave a talk on our experience moving from Unity to Unreal as an Indie Game studio at @developconference.com π
Some of Team Junkfish were there to support and cheer Steph on, and it's safe to say, she smashed it! What an end to a great few days πͺ
Man, I love making video games.
