Any Vancouver game devs on here I should be following!? I feel like I need to know more folks in my local scene #gamedev #indiedev #vancouver

I think pitch day is one of my favourite parts of working with a team, it's really fun to get to hear everyone's ideas and figure out what we want to make! #indiedev #gamedev

Dear engine developers, stop making your own languages. It's more maintenance for something nobody really wants. Just use an existing side scripting language or like C# or Lua... it's literally fine.

Unreal?? wtf is verse? gdscript!? why? Even Unity with their infinite supply of fuck ups managed to figure out dropping Boo was a good idea. Ok I'm done ranting.

Still a work in progress, but I'm happy with where this is going. 😎 #atproto

I'm finally working on proper theming for @happyview.dev and it feels so gooooooood. I've not done a vaporwave design in about a million years, so it felt like time. I'm calling the theme Neon Beach (light mode) and Neon Lagoon (dark mode). Screenshots soooooon. 😎 #atproto

The question I always come back around to is: "Why aren't we funding our indies and provincial business funds instead of pouring money into companies that will leave on a whim?"

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some work to bridge the gap while I continue working on @cartridge.dev and @happyview.dev. If you have contract work for #atproto projects (planning, code, architecture), I'd be delighted to help. DM me with details. #atproto #OpenToWork #LookingForWork

Something I haven't talked much about: what exactly is The Pentaract going to do? This is probs important info for any #GameDev that's wondering how they can make use of my work. 🧵

What if.... now hear me out..... what... what if.... ⁱ ˢᵗᵃʳᵗᵉᵈ ᵃⁿᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ˢⁱᵈᵉ ᵖʳᵒʲᵉᶜᵗ I don't have a problem, you have a problem! #gamedev

Definitely some learning curves for desktop Linux that I'm not overly used to on my servers where I just docker everything. I did have to find a GIT GUI and build it myself cause they didn't have an Arch release, haha But I'm having fun with the transition! #gamedev

the gap between how much content creators and marketers want me to care about my protein intake and how little concern I have about my protein intake could not be greater

I've finally made the switch I'm not on windows anymore! Finally pulled the trigger for using Linux as my game dev environment! So far it's surprisingly smooth compared to my previous experience with Linux desktops. Maybe not quite general user ready yet though. #gamedev #indiedev

My favourite bug tickets are the once that solve themselves, cause you can never close the ticket you just have to watch it for weeks to see if it comes back. #gamedev #indiedev #hack&plan

On one hand the games industry right now is cripplingly oppressive. On the other there's so so many cool indie projects popping up.... (Including my own) It's a weird mixture of depression and excitement?
