Klight 🔜 GDC

In the last year, No More Robots has funded + is currently funding a dozen games, and has paid numerous devs to make prototypes happen for free But obviously, getting press is absolutely impossible for us, because only doom and gloom gets clicks

threatening to leak exploits for an indie org because they dont want to dig through ai-gen slop flooding their game engine is a new low. godot is absolutely in the right to ensure that only human vetted security concerns are raised to them, although i doubt the real impact vectors here.

This video should be required viewing for every game design class and game design team: youtu.be/nUENBU0UVOA As much as it is meant comedic, there is so much great information here about balance, intention, player circumvention, visuals, and unintended side effects of design.

ThinkyCon is starting now!! 🎉 thinkygames.com/even...

cnn making you pay a subscription to hear kamala harris insist why she should run for president is peak cnn

people are going to be surprised about tomorrows election. because they never stopped to think an 80-year old candidate and vp in their 70s could have energy against a 50/60 year old duo. why do we never learn this lesson

wow my skydance holdings are up 60% already i love the animation industry

thinking of getting into video and board game publishing. theres so many good projects out there which need attention.

people dont realize how steam next fest works algo-wise. all the low-effort demo's got buried because thats how the fest works. the doomerism really needs to get cut out and replaced with optimism. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...

what i love most about CNN is you can click on a headline like 'BREAKING NEWS: dangerous man on the loose in your area' and get greeted with this page

We've made BRUTAL, our free C# game framework, publicly available. Already helping RimWorld move beyond Unity and powering Kitten Space Agency. Dean Hall shares why developer independence matters and what comes next. Read the full post on r/gamedev: buff.ly/9RBKOyH

it sucks when you see the same cycle of people being let go, pulling each other into a new studio, only to be let go from that been checking up on people lately and seeing what they have been doing has been so brutal

For my Austin folks!

you ever feel bad applying for a job? like 'theres a single laid off parent who needs this more than me' with the amount of layoffs is almost feels unethical / wrong to steal the opportunity away from someone who needs it more

🎉 HUGE CAREER ANNOUNCEMENT 🎉 Today, I'm launching Vertical Slice, a new independent trade outlet committed to producing quality video game journalism that inspires, informs, and interrogates. That means daily news, incisive interviews, vital investigative work, and more. www.verticalslice.news

Explains to a user how the indie sub with anti-ai rules gets more ai content than the general purpose gamedev sub. Gets blocked instead of a response. Fun!

need a solid business idea. thinking of a dating app for gamedevs to come together to work on projects. also just thinking of a better traffic management system for restaurant lines.

me just figuring out how to use steam content builder, the announcement system, depots....fun times!

News agencies are demonizing a young man for taking a small vehicle to a lavatory truck parked nearby. In California it's now literally illegal to go to the bathroom at an airport.

It's always weird seeing comments like this on BlueSky, because showcasing posts are not allowed in our community. These things simply do not happen in any noticeable capacity and we routinely remove more AI content than the 'anti-ai' indie dev spaces I also moderate lol.

feels like we really live in a delusional timeline. people keep trying to tell me that our community is 'pro-ai' when we remove more AI posts than 'anti-ai' spaces.

meta ai crashing #unity stock is going to make for a fun time. going to make so much stupid money when the AI bros realize meta isnt good and unity goes back up

honestly cant wait to get this one lurking project out the door and tackle a new one. i have a lot of ideas and stuff to get done, but things are looking up!

people really trying gate keep who is a 'game developer' in 2026 if you worked on a game, you are a game developer. it does not matter your job function.

AI for coding is such an interesting concept because why spend tokens generating the same code instead of just pulling from a known good template? Seems like so much wasted opportunity.

What are some cybersecurity products you wish game studios had?

KO_OP offers people not just respect and dignity, but agency. (And they treat their actors as collaborators, not assets, in so much more than lip service.) They’re actually doing the ‘better way’ we yearn for….even when the way is a struggle. Please hire these folks, support however you can.

on the topic of problems are concern trolls. someone tried to get us to remove a post about the Game Devs of Color Expo from our community by claiming it's pro-segregation. the GDoC expo is later this September and it's open for everyone + online, so please support it: www.gamedevsofcolor.org

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT📢 This panel discusses the rise of online video game showcases - how they began, evolved, & became key elements of a game's marketing. The format has let diverse and marginalized groups carve out their own niches and speak directly to their communities. #GDoCExpo2026 #gamedev
