Desperately want to be fully rid of Microsoft and Windows at this point and fully transition to Linux but there are still a few softwares I use for my “day job” that don’t work as well and the alternatives… aren’t so great. Should I just get a Mac for that or…?

I got laid off in August and I’ve spent a good chunk of time since then becoming actually good at game dev. I’ve been making games since high school on and off and it’s a dream of mine but I spent most of that time in tutorial hell Today I made a lil mini game without much looking up. Hell yeah.

Speedrunning a bowel movement by slamming a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, and 3 Taco Bell tacos while walking into a Barnes and Noble

I can’t wait to not feel like Im missing out on the next gen consoles.

Weren’t there like recap scenes in Dynasty Warriors 3 in between each musou stage that showed what was going on elsewhere in the world? What happened to those in the remaster? Or was that DW2?

I used to think dynasty warriors was niche as hell. I grew up on that shit because my uncle worked at Koei Tecmo and would send us copies. I had only ever met one other person in my life who played them. Suddenly with the DW3 remaster there are fans everywhere

AI is just software if it’s gonna kill us all just delete it wtf lmao

my daughters elementary school PTA has been using AI for all of their posters and handouts this year. It gets grosser everytime

A friend of mine found 3 under 2 weeks old kittens that were left by their mom inside of an awning in the middle of the Las Vegas summer. I adopted one. I am now a mother.

saw an extraction shooter that's coming out in a few days that has an AI disclosure stating that they are using GenAI specifically for one of the "AI" NPC's because using a human voice actor would be "cultural appropriation..." Is that serious? Are we making stuff up now to justify AI use in games?

Hey solo indie devs - putting that you are a solo indie dev into your AI disclaimer does not justify your use of AI. Thanks!

I was right. i got let go today. Guess it’s time to start that indie game studio!

I’m like 99% likely to get fired from my totally and absolutely wonderful tech sales job next Monday and I might just take that opportunity to make small little indie games.

GMTK game jam gonna finish my first game this time I swear

Investing time in physical hobbies in preparation for the downfall of the computer

There is a map making tool I use often called Inkarnate and when faced with backlash for using GenAI in their ads, instead of doubling down, they took it down and now they do not allow anything genAI related into their software. Godot can and should do the exact same thing with 4.7.x ASAP.

If your an adult with children 6 and under and their favorite video game is Minecraft, they are into retro games and you should encourage them to try more older games.

I did it. I finally finished a game w/o following some kind of tutorial first. It’s a simple game where circles and squares spawn on screen and you gotta click on the squares to score points. Circles end the game. The shapes spawn on top of each other. It absolutely sucks. But I made it!

You could argue that the one level in older Dynasty Warriors games where you play as Zhao Yun and you’re helping Liu Bei escape from Cao Cao on that one winding map with the river is an extraction shooter.

What do you do when ur game engine adds AI 🎶 What do you do when ur game engine adds AI 🎶 What do you do when ur game engine adds AI 🎶 You go to Godoooooooot! A.k.a I just saw the new beta features for Unity AI and it made me barf.

Constance. IS. OUT. NOW!!💜 Play it everywhere! Check the links below⬇️

My mindset with art recently has been “oh wow this art project I’m working on is really tough and frustrating” to “wait a min I actually see good shapes? Lines? Good form?” And I couldn’t be prouder of myself.

Who needs concept artists, it's only the foundational aesthetic vision that will define your game's identity.

Wanna get good at pixel art? Make a Minecraft texture pack. There’s so much variety in those things you can practice all kinds of styles and designs on many different looking sprites. Skip like the actual blocks tho. Just do the icons.

Tech dudes with 0 understanding of lotr naming their company after the bad guy - “it’s like the all seeing eye or some shi right?”

Tried out a few game frameworks today. Not really enough to form a strong opinion but so far Monogame: forced me to restart my computer every time I wanted to build Love2D: Lua simplicity makes my amateur programmer heart happy Pygame: it’s python. I’ll try Raylib out eventually but it’s scary

I work as a BDR for a tech company and I login to LinkedIn every day to do my job and read stuff like this. Highly discouraging - I just wanna make indie games.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing a lot more AI slop in Fortnite after this layoff…

Don’t use AI for your voiceover in games… just ask me. I’ll do it. For free. I’ve been told I have a nice voice and I have read a book or two on acting. That’s already infinitely better than AI.

I think I’ll restart drawabox tomorrow

Been doing a blender bootcamp by Grant Abbit. Week 2s assignment was a winter landscape so I made something I’ve never seen but have always wanted to experience:

Circumstances have changed, and Im trying to raise 6000 USD. I have an ongoing 20% off sale in my shop and a ko-fi. I currently have emergency commissions up on ko-fi I know times are tough for everyone, so all I can ask for is shares. ko-fi.com/megglesart www.etsy.com/shop/Meggles...

Hello, my name is Joonas Turner and I am looking for new projects to work on. I have a long experience working in all kinds of games. I am primarily looking for work as a Sound Designer and Music Composer but I am useful as a Game Designer as well. #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio

I guess I love to create places that I can't visit 🍃

I think one highlight in Marathon vs Arc Raiders is that the very limited prox chat interactions I’ve had have been along the lines of “wow good fight dude” instead of immediate slurs. Positive experience all around!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

May you finish your indie game in 2026 🙏

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

My favorite animated movie trope is when a spoiled whiny little man and a gentle giant man come together and do something cool.

Something ive noticed as ive been teaching myself how to draw is that my internal dialogue has gone from "wow I can't draw" to "I can draw that. It won't be good but I can draw it" and Im really proud of myself for it.

Is a side effect of Linux an incredible urge to listen to/embrace 70s/80s music?

Can any #Linux experts out there help me find resources to make the transition? I need to be able to play game, run #Godot 3D and #Blender and also apps like Clip Studio Paint and Affinity. Maybe UE5 Thank you in advance you geniuses. Please help a windows user transition away from this awful OS

One of my goals for 2025 was to start teaching myself how to draw. I started with the art skills comparable to my 5 year old. I think Ive leveled up considerably even with inconsistent practice. Decided to start @justdrawabox.bsky.social today to start getting more consistent.
