SPRAWL zero is out now! The culmination of so much blood sweat and tears, who would have thought a random interaction on the Quake Mapping discord would have lead to this? store.steampowered.com/app/3748520/...

If guys are getting interested in video games I've yet to see it tbh, I've only ever met a few guys who were into games and half of them turned out to be girls even then

This.

This industry used to be filled with cool game scouts that’d rock up to 22 y/o devs with a weird game at a show and hand them money. Now a boring man browses ‘most wishlisted’ pages and sends repetitive, increasingly passive aggressive emails.

good LORD

i am losing my mind dude. videogames are BACK. play this demo ASAP store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/... store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/... store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/...

oh no, i don't use the ai for <thing that i am paid to do> it's terrible at that. it's great for <thing you are paid to do> though.

We put SPRAWL on the Switch before GTA VI...

Anton is doing awesome shit again! LFG!

It's unbelievable how well this is coming together at this stage of development. We're going so much bigger and better with this one! SPRAWL is really coming into it's own 😍

I've created a new Godot PR! This change adds a Fixed Resolution mode to SubViewportContainer to make it much easier to create low resolution games that handle input passthrough correctly. Want to create a PSX style game that runs at 320x240 with working UI input? 👀 github.com/godotengine/...

So excited to finally announce SPRAWL zero! We've been working on this in secret for the past couple of years! We're taking a leap forward to the 2000s, inspired by the era of classics like Halo! // Y2K is back // www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju0r...

I really should post here more often, just been in the mines working on the next project 👀

Why have we never just asked Nardwuar about the Epstein list?

Godot 4.6 dev 3 completely overhauls SSR and the impact it's had on the overall visuals in the engine is insane. This is one of the biggest leaps forward the engine has taken visually in a while! godotengine.org/article/dev-... github.com/godotengine/...

Sitting on two BANGER video game ideas... both heavily systems driven with main appeal being how deep those get the longer you play. Scope creep trap 101. Really need to brainstorm some smaller ideas for quick 30 minute experiences I can actually ship with 6 months of work. 🤣

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

You don’t need Kubernetes. You don’t need microservices. You don’t need 6 layers of abstraction. What most teams need is a monolith, basic CI, and a reminder that users don’t care about your infra.

@noclipvideo.bsky.social Thanks so much for including my game The Crimson Diamond in the intro of this video! When I heard @dannyodwyer.bsky.social and the rest of the crew's desire to boost indie games, I was super heartened. Let's learn about more awesome indie games! youtu.be/HW4BPgyeB3U?...

There is a special place in hell for developers who start their game with an unskippable/important cutscene before I've got the chance to adjust my volume and resolution settings 😤

You know that Unreal Engine is capable of Forward+ rendering with MSAA right? You can just do that. It's not an engine problem. Unreal isn't perfect but running dynamic deferred lighting and TAA is a choice. Sometimes a valid one.

New Tattoo 😍

the market is begging for the mech game and my whole network is begging to make the mech game, its amazing how badly capital is being spent in this industry tbh.

I think this little UI tool works good enough as is! No code required, just drop a few animation nodes into your scenes! #GodotEngine #godot #ui

There is no way I'm getting hit up on a dating app to help with this person's game ☠️

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

Seeing a lot of gamedev advice about how to operate cheaply and seriously have you considered marrying someone who arts (or codes if you're the artist) I'm being 100% serious, left/right brain 2 person teams are hugely OP in micro indie terms "But we need a bigger team" have you considered Poly

SPRAWL is out on #XboxSeriesX, #XboxSeriesS, #PlayStation5! What started as my hobby project during COVID! What a journey 💝 This includes a major update for PC as well! Thank you all for all your support! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Md4...

For the love of god why can't perforce just tell me how much it would cost to self host an instance with a max of 10 seats? Fill out a form -> US representative PHONES me to set up an email chain with their UK representative... Cloud pricing is public...

Oh hey, my shadow caster mask contribution made it into Godot 4.4. It should help a lot when you have dynamic lights that you don't want to bleed through walls but don't need them casting more complex shadows! #gamedev #godot godotengine.org/article/dev-...

I think I've been bitten by the motorcycle bug harder than cars 😅 I got an inline 4 sports tourer for my first bike and now I want a parallel twin naked to go alongside it, oh and a supermoto and a-

Art Pipeline Epiphany: Bake the curvature map for a HotspotUV trimsheet and combine that with a triplanar shader that uses it for edge highlights and you end up with HotspotUV functionality for any tiling texture allowing for super fast variations.

When people ask what it's like to work in gamedev I'm going to show them this post from now on.

One of our community members cosplayed SEVEN from SPRAWL for halloween! I'm honored 🥰 This kinda thing keeps me motivated!

One of the most deeply talented people I know ♥

One of my favourite lil #gamedev tricks is that if you iterate over your array backwards you can remove elements by swapping with the last element to avoid the need for a second loop or shifting of the array contents!
