The most telling thing is that these people think that you spend 200 thousand dollars on "outsourcing" and then just "break even." My man(s), most of us work alone at night and 90% of us will make less than $10,000 in the entirety of our game development career.

Just so you know. I have all the code and the full project for this game. This was from the time I was scrambling for a company name. It IS coming eventually. My skateboarding MAGNUM OPUS. #gamedev #indiedev

2,200+ wishlists for VOID PROFIT! I honestly expected about a 10th of that. Thank you for wishlisting, playing the demo and noticing my weird little space game. It means a lot.

I've been working on what I call the "More Life" update. Coming next week to the VOID PROFIT #GameDemo, #playtest and full game. Now there's a lot more happening outside the cockpit. Here's a before and after. Ship assets by @quaternius.bsky.social and @kenney.nl #SpaceSim #IndieDev #GameDev

So many news about a Battlefield™ movie. But... what would that be? A war movie. You can make a movie about WAR and call it Battlefield. They don't have a trademark on the word. Why is Michael B. Jordan working with EA on this?

The good thing about getting into video game collecting but focusing on old PC games is that most of them cost, like, 5 bucks and the hardware you need for them is around 50.

Fly a rented corporate vessel in a procedurally-generated universe, navigate risky routes, profit from changing markets before the opportunity disappears and you lose it all. Take jobs, navigate the markets, smuggle, lie. #TrailerTuesday #spacesim #indiegame Here's the new trailer for VOID PROFIT:

Hard at work on the next VOID PROFIT update. Mostly gameplay balancing and systems improvements. However, needed to get to some visual updates for my own sanity. Here's a little before and after of the cockpit view. Made it deeper, more oppressive and added more details. #spacesim #indiedev #gamedev

Sorry for the long silence. I've been deep into playtest feedback and a new (slight) direction change. I posted a new update about VOID PROFIT on Steam. I'm working on some mechanics that will, hopefully, hook some people. #gamedev #spacesim #indiedev store.steampowered.com/news/app/468...

Still, to this day, people do not *actually* see games as art. There is no appreciation for the unreal, the theatrical, the smoke and mirrors. To most people who play games but are not *into* games, they are a linear art form. New is better because it's *more*.

Had to eat dinosaur chicken nuggets for lunch. Was going really fast through the store yesterday, saw them, thought they were cute and bought them for my kid. Today I saw them in the freezer and thought "There's no way I'm making this absolute shit for my kid." They were awful, actually. Hardly food

Being in web dev sucks now. There was this really nice event called Beer.js near me. It's draft beers, web dev talks and a generally cool way to interact with people. They've changed it now. All the talks are about AI and they're advertising is with sending your AI agents to it instead.

Still have no idea how I beat Max Payne 2 when I was 13. Had a weekend of only turning on my internet-disconnected Windows XP PC and that game fucking destroyed me. Must be because I didn't really understand the story so I wasn't fully depressed and bothered when I got into a level.

I genuinely think that Microsoft's acquisition of Activision will be remembered as the biggest fumble in video game history.

Me when I like a @corvidfood.com #gamedev post.

Made a REALLY specific thing in my incremental game. But that is the point of it. #gamedev #indiegame #incrementalgame #indie #indiedev

The "Hydration Break" thing in the World Cup is so uniquely American. Nevermind that Americans are for some reason OBSESSED with "hydration" but they also figured out a way to put timeouts in a game with no timeouts because god forbid you watch something for 45 minutes with no big ad breaks.

By the way, I looked through the code, built the game again. It's less of an incremental game and more like a really silly version of Doodle God. Which might be right, I don't know.
