Making a great game is one thing. Figuring out funding, crowdfunding, publishers and everything around actually getting it out into the world is another. At the Gamespace Conference, we’ll have plenty of space for exactly those conversations.

No need to use your imagination anymore, cloud shadows are now accurate ✨ It's such a silly approach and I can't believe it worked, I giggled so much when I got it working

Harry 💬@halisavakis.com

Cool thing with the compute shader approach is that I can also hijack the cloud raymarching loop to chuck in some volumetric fog in a different buffer with barely any additional computational cost ✨ Now try to imagine how cooler this would look if those cloud shadows were actually accurate 👀

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

Eines habe ich auf die harte Tour gelernt: Rechtsextremen begegnet man am besten vor Gericht. Man bietet ihnen keine Bühne und versucht nicht, sie im Diskurs zu "entzaubern". Ich will nicht Teil einer Maschinerie sein, die zur Relativierung & Legitimierung von Demokratiefeinden beiträgt. (1)

this one is good!! reporter kevin cortez talked to the developers of A Short Hike, Tiny Bookshop, and Kabuto Park about how and why labor feels fun in their games, and the whole idea of chores being "cozy" www.mothership.blog/cozy-games-l...

mothership.blogWhy do cozy games keep asking us to work, and why does it feel so good?Developers of games like A Short Hike and Tiny Bookshop weigh in on why even labor feels nice in their games.

If you want to try out a new and innovative pinball game mechanic, give PinKeep a try. We would love to hear your feedback! ❤️
