To save you a click, here's the TL;DR Prioritize making friends Keep detailed notes Use version control Keep backups of everything Turn everything into a portfolio piece Learn and use Allar's styleguide Do not chase perfection Hoard free fortnightly Fab assets Study and use sample projects

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful! While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!

Stop just 'announcing' stuff. Ask a direct question: "What should we name this enemy?" "Rate this new shader 1-10." Make people feel like they're helping build the game. 🫡 #gamedev #community #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

It is unfortunate that many places in the world don't have proper laws and elected officials actually doing their job defending their constituents working in the video game industry. But Edinburgh seems to have that! I hope justice can be brought and the message heard throughout the world. #gamedev

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

In other news, I miss Edinburgh. One of the most gorgeous places I've been fortunate enough to live in for a bit. Maybe I'll have a chance to visit again sometime. Maybe partake in Samhuinn again

A successful next fest run needs a lot of strategy (and luck). It's not going to magically give you wishlists

Chris Hanney@hanney.bsky.social

So... Steam Next Fest happened again, and the number of folks that have been disappointed by their game's performance seems to be growing higher and higher. I looked at the number of demos launched on Steam in the window of each Next Fest the past five years, and.... 🤯

I, too, attended #SLICE2025 - it was incredible! Met so many great people there. Wish I could've made it to more talks, these summary points make me feel like I really missed out

#SLICE2025 was an extremely informative event in a digestible format that made learning about indie development a lot less exhausting and expensive than GDC. Here are 5 things I learned from yesterday's lectures. www.linkedin.com/posts/holly-...

How did I not know abotu this? It changes everything! #UnrealEngine #UE5

#unreal #uetips If you haven't yet heard of the `-Log -NewConsole`, it's one of my favorite UE5 additions. You can filter, exec commands, even had a convenience `Log CHECKPOINT#` button. But the awesome thing is, it doesn't hang with the game/engine, and if you close it, your instance also closes

Sharing for other plugin developers who want a robust system for version-gating UE C++ code. Nicer than the built-in macros, works around limitations in UHT, and even comes with a TObjectPtr converter for bridging the UE4 gap! github.com/sbseltzer/VersionMacros #UnrealEngine #UE5 #UE4 #C++ #GameDev
