Even small games have hundreds of assets, so the asset workflows are critical for any project, big or small. The asset browser is a critical tool because of that. Asset importing, searching, and use, have to be easy to do. I wrote about it sometime ago here: rystorm.com/blog/asset-b...

Take a look at one of our most ambitious backgrounds! 🌊✨ Peñíscola’s iconic castle 🏰 plays a key role in Shadows of the Afterland. Why a location in Valencia when the game is set in Madrid? 🤔 No spoilers, but it’s vital to Carolina’s story! 🖤🔮 #pixelart

Well, I never would have guessed that I would live in the 'Game Engine Snake Oil Salesman' era. This is quite an interesting timeline.

Every time people post this picture it becomes a hit! It never fails!

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

I love the revamping of Game Developer but am tired of all this engineers first - this is what games are - stories. game != engine (for you nerds) Also... the every game has to be a totally new thing, that new mechanics are required versus a good version of something is just lazy and exhausting.

I found my copy of Sims 1 signed by Will Wright! For every like this gets, I’ll post a page of the manual with my thoughts on it.

I highly recommend this book, whether you're talking to someone important, like your special other, parents/siblings or friends, or even business partner/coworkers. It takes a lot to be vulnerable and to speak honest truth, but that goes a long way to prevent the growth of resentment.

@chrisdeleon.bsky.social happy to see you here too, you absolute legend.

OKAY I said I'd do it, and I did... made a Video Game PR Starter Pack. If you're a media or influencer-relations rep in games, let me know and I'll add you. I'll share the link when I have some more people in it.

Hi #gamedev friends. I have a favour to ask. Our game Harvest Hunt 🌒 needs more visibility. We have 100% positive reviews, whoever played it loved it, but it needs help getting discovered by all you horror/indie game fans! Spread the word, it would help us out a lot! villainous.games/harvest-hunt

Hey everyone. 👋 My name is Alex and I'm the lead developer at Polygon Treehouse (Röki/Mythwrecked) where I make art-led narrative indie games. My background is in art/animation but I tend to now work across most disciplines! In my previous life I worked for 14 in AAA at PlayStation.

Started setting up a starter pack for technical and vfx artists here! It's not conclusive yet, I'll update it as I go, but it should be a great start to find some awesome artists ✨ go.bsky.app/Bih7pqu

I used to be the design director for an AAA UE5 game, and now I lead a small indie game development team in our free time with @roydecampagna.bsky.social, who is an expert in Blueprints and technical art in UE5. I am a fan of blueprints and a systems designer. Can we be added?

To all the new folks here, welcome! Really feels like this is reaching a very important critical mass for games industry folks right now. Exciting stuff!

Behold my #cat. Look at her ! Love her! Thanks for attending my talk.

If you're games industry and following some folks already, reply with who you are and what you do, and then re-post this or whatever it's called. Let's try and find each other on this new place
