Almost missed this Ludum Dare! Found out on Saturday morning. The theme was perfect, got an idea instantly. Started Sunday, finished Monday night with help from Josh & Vlad. They nailed the testing, balance, and SFX.

I made another game jam game! split82.itch.io/jump-and-dare This time for #BrackeysGameJam 2025.2. Climb a 400 m tower, collect gems, take daring bets, unlock upgrades, and claim the biscuit at the top! #RiskItForTheBiscuit #gamedev #indiedev

I’m working on this idea for #GMTKJam. Two buttons, two loops minimalist rhythm game.

Hey. I’m not completely sure, because of my initial work (which was vanilla 1.0 version of the game), there was some more work done by other people, including publisher. But as far as I know, there is no hidden star on Android version.

Working a bit on the UI for my small puzzle game. Wanted to try something more interesting this time, so I ended up with these flipping tiles. What do you think?

Not sure yet. Really depends on what I decide to do with it. But hopefully soon.

Yes exactly!

I hope I will never have to make a game with ads :)

Made this small math puzzle game last week during Puzzle Game Jam. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to hit the deadline, but I will finish it anyway. Missing just some win animation, levels and menu :) #madewithunity #indiegame

Congrats. Looks beautiful . Will give it a try.

Beat Saber nears 10 million players on Meta Quest Beat Saber is approaching its next major milestone: nearly ten million people have played the VR game on Meta Quest alone.

Almost 10 million Beat Saber players on Quest only. Nice! mixed-news.com/en/beat-sabe...

It helped :)

Today is the 7th anniversary of Beat Saber! I found this cool screenshot of the commit history. It really shows that the real work began once the game was out :D

This flying quad is bothering me so much in Blue Prince. Right at the entrance :D

Oh nice I didn't even know about that feature. Will check it. Thanks!

When updating to Unity 6000.0.47f1 my fixed timestep got set to 0.0001. Most of the projects will loose tons of FPS so it's pretty easy to figure this out, but on small projects I see only tiny bit different physics behavior :) @unity.com

It uses some weird system to render UI and texts, so sometimes it's almost unreadable. Not because of the size of the text, but it really looks weird. I'm not sure what's the issue, but I hope it will be fixed soon.

I just wish it worked better on Steam Deck.

I had to wait almost a year to feel something similar to what Animal Well did to me. Blue Prince is super cool — highly recommended!

This looks amazing!

Blue Prince has the slowest fade ins and fade outs I’ve ever seen :)

Meta Shares the 50 Best-selling Quest Games of All Time Ever wonder what the best-selling Quest games are? Wonder no further, because Meta has published a section on the Horizon Store listing the current top 50 best-sellers of all time. As you’d imagine, m...

It doesn’t have to be crunch though. Most of my latest Ludum Dare entries were made in quite chill atmosphere, really working just not more than 12 hours in 2 days. For me it’s usually about figuring out what can be done like that, not working hard on something super complex.

Hmm I have one idea for this :) Also extremely limited time to do something. Let’s see where this goes.

Ahhhhhhhhh! We're only 6'ish hours away! #LDJam

Looks awesome! What gamejam it was?

In case you wonder why ChatGPT can't write proper custom functions for Shader Graph in Unity, it's probably because all these examples are pictures :D docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com...
