Look, I love Steam as a player. But as a dev, I'm learning to HATE the Steamworks dashboard. I'm just trying to share a playtest build discreetly... WHY IS IT MAKING ME THINK I'M RELEASING THE GAME 🫪

Friendly reminder that next week, the No Pasajam begins! If you want to make a small antifa game (1 week or 2 days), that's the date!🔥✊ I'll try to make a game with my friends and might even try to stream some of it

No Pasajam!@nopasajam.org

Jammers, don't forget to register for No Pasajam! on Itch.io ! The sooner the better, as more registrations means more people will see the event in the calendar :) itch.io/jam/nopasajam #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam

In an era where ADHD and neurodiversity is a thing, it still baffles me how the education system remains bullshit. People with high potential getting denied degrees and entry level jobs because education focuses on grades rather than applicable skills. This is just bullshit.

Took me a bit, but I've reached Chapter 5 of Deltarune. It's amazing to see how the game, design and art evolves with chapters. But I'm getting more and more into it, and definitely getting a similar warm feeling as Undertale.

I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing

Arvy@arvy.bsky.social

Many factors at play here - not the least of which is higher-ups (in their infinite wisdom) not being able to commit to anything, or knowing good from bad All the while the economy at large expects the profit line go infinitely up, absolutely ignoring its undeniable tendency to do the opposite

That's it. Windows is pissing me off. There are still some apps and tools that I need for it, but I'm going to try and focus on using only Fedora from now on. I'll have to get used to it, but the speed gain is already noticeable. I look forward to it becoming more and more mainstream 💪

I need to repopulate this account. I've been somewhat around on other places but, I need a place to talk about game dev, so... Maybe you'll see some form of that here. So, expect: - Indie Game Dev - Burnout - Game industry rants - Maybe some hope - Français See you hopefully soon ✨

This year is going to be tough for a lot of reasons. I'm learning a new way to work, a way that should let me do what I love and earn me some freedom to then enjoy time with my true family, and create for the sake of creating.

View full thread

But this year... I also found support. I found friendships, alternative forms of relationships, I found love. In the height of exploring a new version of myself, I lost everything that held my old self together in a snap.

View full thread

Everyday I now fight myself to regain that self trust in an industry and society that will find every possible way to push me down, and where I still have to get back up and continue. It's exhausting... and I might be crying high up from my privilege... But I'm so tired...

New award idea: Best Undigested Game 😅 Probably at odds with popular voting, as everyone has a different game that they grew to love. But yeah, those types of games are so special! Maybe more and more as time goes on... Full interview: www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

First time doing Christmas cards. Figuring out what to write is SO HARD But I feel like it makes for a good gift, and a good way to say to friends I keep forgetting to say hi to a message of: "Hey you, you are still awesome, thanks for letting me know you and be a small part of your life."

🇵🇸 La section STJV d'Arkane a été interviewée pour le dernier documentaire de People Make Games. Le génocide à Gaza est toujours en cours, malgré la couverture officielle qui parle de "cessez-le-feu". Une collecte de fonds pour le Palestinian Children Relief Fund est rattachée au documentaire.

I wonder if I actually burned out but not violently. What should be usual work now feels like life threatening. What used to make me excited now bores me faster. I now consider most of my work not up to the level I used to thrive in. I used to want to fail to learn, but now failure means death.

I don't know if the meds are affecting me and changing how my brain reacts and if ADHD was actually shielding me from all this anxiety. Or... If it actually uncovered what my problem really is. I'm tired 😩

Je ne sais pas si je vais un thread mais sachez que j'ai mis la VF et que sur les 10 premières minutes, j'ai une question : C'est Buffy ou Mean Girls? Cordelia en deux minutes d'écran c'est un condensé assez rude 🥲

Jarm0u@jarm0u.bsky.social

Dans la vie, il est important de connaître ses classiques. C'est pourquoi je me lance enfin dans Buffy. "HEIN QUOI T'AS JAMAIS VU BUFFY?!??" Bah non, on n'avait pas M6. Alors les puristes de la trilogie du samedi, VO ou VF?

It's weird to navigate life rn. Career & life wise I feel at a turning point, or rather a few of them simultaneously. How invested in my work am I really willing to be How can I refocus on my newfound social and love life How can I sustain myself in all of that All while the world shits itself

Let's start this hectic month filled with logistics nightmares, reliance on public transportation, friends hosting, and where I'll have to prove in many different contexts that I'm the shit and deserve money and attention from the craft I do. Pitch, Interviews, Catch-ups, bring it on 💪
