Commodore are back after 47 trademarks bought, maybe now we can have a new 64 like a mini version or a full size one with sd cards and hdmi or some kind of sd device for the old machines and some new games and hopefully this will kick start the demo scene and magazines and shows

Knowing when to pivot. When to back track. When to give up. When to postpone. It's hard. I've just had to do all those things in the last 2 months as the day job has drained my energy from dream job work. That said I'm VERY excited for the game I accidently discovered while making something else.

I'm about to do the unthinkable...re-enter tutorial hell for fun. Work from the day job has burnt me out on things that 'need' to happen, but I'm also only happiest creating. So... I'm going to take a break, prototype and just do tutorials for a month or 2. See you all on the other side! #indiedev

Ever had your day job flip upside down and realized your passion project must wait?
You donโ€™t want to abandon what youโ€™ve built, but sunk-cost fallacy can trap you.
How do you decide to pause and start something new?

Iโ€™m having a blast with it, but almost missed it because itโ€™s not on Steam.

Home Vintage Story is an uncompromising wilderness survival sandbox game inspired by lovecraftian horror themes. Find yourself in a ruined world reclaimed by nature and permeated by unnerving temporal dist...

If you like Minecraft, this feels like the next step. I donโ€™t think itโ€™s getting enough attention, so Iโ€™m just giving it a little nod for anyone who might be interested.

She really did. Was fun to see the change up for you guys. Love both of you. Keep it up.

I really like the look of this. It makes me want to revisit Rings of Zilfin for ideas.

Entirely possible. I always try to keep an open mind in my work knowing that Populus had a different game in mind, but found that just messing with the terrain was more fun. There wasn't a game like it before. But once you see it...

That's now we get new genres. Keep at it. Can't wait.

Been there. Iโ€™ve finally accepted it doesnโ€™t matter. Itโ€™s like telling a musician thereโ€™s already a song about love.

Weโ€™ve had a real easy time for it, but havenโ€™t moved to dedicated server yet.

That is such a good sign. I knew mine was getting somewhere when I found myself hitting the play again instead of getting back to code.

Playing Vintage Story with my son right now is giving me year 1 Minecraft vibes. Iโ€™m loving it. Itโ€™s complicated but relaxing.

Hey, gamedev composers, quick question for y'all:

How long does it take you on average to write a song, start to finish? I feel like it takes me forever. I typically come up with the very basis pretty quickly, but it take weeks and weeks to fill in the gaps to my liking.

Debugging my game today I figured out how my iterative logic during development created my problem. I was wrong a month ago but didnโ€™t notice it until the complexity broke it. But now that I know why itโ€™s an issue, I donโ€™t understand why it works at all.

My martial arts instructor was named Jim Schuh, pronounced the same way. I had to make him repeat it because the thought of that being his name but we take off our shoes was too much for my little kid brain.

Itโ€™s not losing if it completes you as a person. Sometimes thatโ€™s all we can hope for.
