Extremely thankful for the inclusion! Made my whole day.

Here's the July edition of Thinky Third Thursday, the monthly roundup of thinky puzzle games that have caught our eye: thinkythirdthursday.com/july-2026

What do your kids' friends play, though? I have noticed a lot of gamedevs (including myself) eager to jump into "kids these days actually hate f2p/roblox shit" but it's almost always gamedev kids - their friends are mostly playing f2p mobile games on their phones and fortnite/roblox if they console.

Ancient 4D - render output is now directed to an SDL window instead of a .png file, and I'm using threads now to improve the CPU render times. #retrocgi #lowpoly

I have an obsession with 19th century maritime history. The best game ever made is The Return of the Obra Dinn.

The Hamburg Maritime is the best maritime Museum I have ever been to. In the world. It's absolutely stunning.. What a great place

The Beginner’s Guide

almooost finished with this model biggest comm i've done in a while LOL

Doing a game jam is certainly interesting. I’ve realised that UI, modelling, all of these things that I’ve come to dislike over the years really aren’t that bad. It reminds me of what things were like at the very start of my career. I might change up how I work on my proper games.

Wish I had seen this a week ago

Naturally had to make some UI to match! #GameDev #IndieDev

Thunder Helix #wip - added destructible wall sections to help me build an 'enemy base' for a future mission. #lowpoly #gamedev #flightsim 🚁

Well that's the main reason I'm making this raytracer - to be part of making this older style more accessible again. Phong shaded ray tracers sorta got replaced by newer PBR path tracers and we lost something with that IMHO. It's not impossible to do today - but I hope to make it an easier option.

The Decemberists

Having some fun trying to replicate old Sierra graphics #GameDev

coloured sketch for @inkedoriole.bsky.social ❤️❤️ mr and mrs giovanni, our vampires paolo and marzio’s parents✨ there’s a running joke that vincento (the dad) looks like keanu. he’s absolutely devoted to his wife regina, and he took her last name #art #sketch #vtm #vamily #giovanni

Anyone doing the Thinky Games Jam 6 tomorrow? #GameDev

I wish games media wasn’t so anemic that we exclusively praise (or stay quiet), only criticizing or arguing when one’s words are objectively bad (like genuinely harmful). I want more ppl to tell me I’m wrong & I want to tell you your review sucks & you to do the same & we all get better bc of it

Anyone know any Metroidbrainia / Deduction game specific game journalists or critics? #Gaming #GameDev

Deluxe Poly - I used a combination of the new wiggle and wobble FX tools to create this little animation loop. #pixelart #lowpoly If you'd like to support me in obtaining real coffee, and gain access to work-in-progress builds of Deluxe Poly, I have a Patreon here: www.patreon.com/c/davidwdev

Hear me out: Playdate for interactive fiction. Turns out it's possible to fit @inkle.co's ink engine on the 50€ Xteink X4 e-reader of internet fame. Who's in?

Been making tons of tools in Unity recently. Feels like I’m finally starting to really love the program. The Lucas Pope philosophy.

Hatched ocean shader that uses lightmap to modify line thicknesses. Anyone know any other games that look like this? #GameDev #Unity #IndieDev

Has anyone made a 3D / indie game in that sort of Sierra Online / Dagger of Amon Ra style? #GameDev #IndieDev #Gaming

I had to change some aspects of my artstyle, but it doubled my FPS, hopefully meaning I won't have to worry about optimisation for the rest of the project. Sometimes you have to consider whether that super expensive feature that's 'key to your artstyle' is actually key and if it's worth keeping.

Hey #unity #blender #gamedev peeps, how do you work on existing FBX characters that have an armature and pre-existing animations. Now you e.g. want to add a bone to it. Orientation mess. Surprised there isn't tooling to e.g. temporarily reorient bones - or simply change the display orientation?

Oh my, what a font, what a font! "Mancine uses an unusual contrast model inspired by left-handed calligraphy, which converges with the principles of Art Nouveau into an elegant and completely unique display typeface." www.herzbergdesign.com/mancine

More than a century after Pearl beer magnate Otto Koehler's shocking death, "The Three Emmas" legend still looms large. But the true story, involving a citywide effort to cover it up, is wilder than most people know. https://www.texasmonthly.com/culture/san-antonio-three-emmas-legend/

The downside of optimising a game is eventually you’re done with it and you wonder what else you could possibly do to optimise further if the need arises.
