i define immersive sims as a subgenre of sandboxes where you play as a character and undertake directed missions with open-ended approaches

eating popcorn while watching a movie is the equivalent of pressing a button to advance in a visual novel

Spelkollektivet is an amazing co-living co-working space for gamedevs. It's my home, and the reason Aqua Mundo will eventually actually get finished. We are facing eviction unless we raise enough money. If you can, consider supporting an amazing indie gamedev community here β™₯

Help Save the Home for Indie Game Developers For 9 years Spelkollektivet has had more than 700 game developers stay at the co-living & co-working hub, but due to new directives in the local area, the future may be at risk. Read more: gofund.me/f4244d6de #gamedev #indiegames #gofundme

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

So apparently there's a Godot For Switch port on the Nintendo forums? Like I thought I had to go with one of the handful of publishers or do it myself, but if I can just, go grab the open source Switch version of Godot? Holy fuk old.reddit.com/r/godot/comm...

old.reddit.comI ported my Godot game to Switch 1 & 2 and Nintendo just approved it!I’ve always designed my game *Dawnfolk* with handheld consoles in mind, so bringing it to Switch was a must for me. At first, I thought porting...

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

thanks to my gamedev socialization now every time i see a steam game whose description starts with repeating the game's title i cringe a little inside

for decades, the nascent field of game design has been wrapped up in one question. how can we make the player feel true power? how can we truly question their morals? this is why for my newest game, i have put myself in a hydraulic press that will descend 1 cm every time a player beats a boss

1: bro is running out of money 2: Notch barely even knew what he was doing when he was part of Minecraft's development, the parts of the game people really love can all be attributed to Jeb (who joined in and then took over way sooner than people think)

So I don't think he's gonna have the inspired vision for the game people probably think he will... Notch is a hack lowkey
