Ben

Hello to all my new mutuals! I should introduce myself. I’m Ben 👋 I’m a professional software and game developer. I also do sound design when I have time. My tools of choice are ➖ C# ➖ Lua ➖ Unity ➖ Godot ➖ PlayDate SDK ➖ Logic Pro I look forward to interacting with you all and see you around!

Is it just me or does live-streaming sometimes feel like human zoo exhibits. Especially if they aren’t playing a game or doing anything specific during a stream.

Unity continues to prove to me why I no longer will use it for future projects.

If you let your phone slide between the center console and your seat. Give up. It’s over. That jawn is gone forever. I swear my phone comes alive specifically just to 360 no scope itself into that chasm.

Add some spice to your Friday by trying to add android SDK platforms to your Unity install.

Horrible game idea. A normal game but it has a tunic style manual of technical debt glitches from the devs. Like if u touch a wall after an enemy u still take damage.

Anyone who doordashes raw oysters is a threat to society.

The Xenoblade OSTs didn’t have to go THAT hard.

Caves of Qud has been amazing so far.

Bloodborne but all the amygdala’s have Santa hats.

Bot accounts with fake AI-generated games are pretending to be genuine #gamedev / #indiedev accounts. Possibly for scam or spam purposes. I made a list to block them all. Share! bsky.app/profile/did:...

WHAT. A. SHOWCASE.

Jeeez. I was actually thinking about getting one of these tables but now I am for sure finding another table company.

Been playing crow country in my spare time and it is such a fun experience.

Every time I have to launch this guy for work

Printed this cool phone dock. Nearly threw my printer away 3 times to make this.

Godot gooch shader

I am now in good spirits with my printer again. We made up

Getting a complicated vim macro to work for something very repetitive feels so nice.

Armored core needs a fishing minigame.

With Balatro’s great success. The next 1-2 years will have a disproportionate amount of indie card games coming out. Kinda like how cozy games blew up after acnh and Stardew valley. Still deservedly so, cause they’re underrepresented and great genres.

What’s ur yaml or json hot take. No judgement

Holey Moley. 500 followers! Thank you for the support! I love this game dev community on Bsky and I hope to show yall what I’m working on soon.

Pretty light year for me

Was the easy bake oven the first air fryer?

Love being a hybrid game dev. One day I’m programming just plain C# systems. Another day I’m scratching my knife set at home for foley assets.

Humble bundle but for little ants and beetles.

A thread on colourblindness & #gamedev - If your approach to colourblindness is full screen filters, you're *doing it wrong*, and causing more problems that you're solving. If you see a game that has filters, they're doing it wrong. If you see a game that has a 'strength' slider - don't copy it.

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming. Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.

Worthwhile to be aware of this common tactic for infecting game developers with malware.

Writing lua on my blackberry notes app rn.

Any recommendations for the best steam deck on the market rn? Preferably not a billion dollars.

Patiently waiting for a skullgirls 2.

Terrible Game Idea: driving up an infinite, full parking garage.

I’d like a Duolingo but for cool bug facts

I would like a rat shaker for my irl problems please

For first degree murder, I sentence you to fixing a Unity bug that is only documented once in a forum over 15 years old.

We all agree Y is up… right? 🙂🔪

The vast amount of shamelessly ai generated slop we’re gonna see in all media formats in the next 5 years will probably bring up the value of human artists in their respective industries. Like the SpongeBob episode where Krabs turns the restaurant into a factory. Quality is quality. Slop is slop
