Hi! I'm a French game dev using free/libre open source software and sharing my experience along the way. Long time #GodotEngine user, I made a little video to show you my work 😚. Let's connect!

3 days left 👀

the use of "wait" here is legit so slimy. tf you mean wait. devs don't wait, they make the fuckin thing. ooooohhh but if you're a dipshit billionaire exec like tim sweeney is now, i guess you do just WAIT for it, huh?

The page was only in French for all that time but I finally translated it to share it with you all. There's one week left for the campaign, any help is appreciated. If you find the idea interesting or like the game and want to support my work, check the page here ulule.com/fq2027/ 2/2

this also goes for indies btw, which is why the 30% cut steam takes is so egregious. that 30% is often the difference between one and done, or a studio that gets to make a second and maybe third game. and it would cost them literally nothing to take no cut for the first 100k, it's a rounding error

Okay, that's awesome. Knowing people actually use my game in the wild in classes and stuff is so heartwarming.

I can finally share the news! I have a crowdfunding going on for my game Fallacy Quiz. You can support a new chapter for the game with an interactive debate mode on the topic of voting. I decided to make it to fight voter apathy ahead of the 2027 French presidential election. 1/2

Now that Steam Next Fest has started I want to remind everybody to not give games with AI any attention, to help you with this you can download this neat extension that will make it A LOT easier to filter through the slop! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...

the vibes are off

Kenney you dropped this 👑

a bloody legacy

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

I never knew multi cursor was a thing in Godot, that's so cool !

I didn't know he died, it was so sad 😭 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJC4QYmdog

This video I made is topical again. Why so called "DLSS5" is awful at a conceptual level, and is deeply different from original DLSS https://youtu.be/eL7cpM7Sfk8

AI is a scourge. But it is important not to trust "AI detectors". I lost regular freelancing work because my client insisted I used AI to write copy (I didn't, but their AI detecting software said I did). This is a great thread with an excellent example of why these detectors cannot be trusted.

"yeah but PC game aren't physical either" why do you think we also ask for DRM free games on PC? Put a DRM free game on an SD card and... You have a physical version of the game! My games are all DRM free on PC to this day, and I don't want this to change.

Maybe an unpopular or even controversial opinion but some people really, REALLY don't deserve free games or games in general. The way some of y'all treat game devs (especially indie game devs) is extremely entitled, rude and, frankly, inconsiderate.

Fuck "AI", thanks for this policy update. godotengine.org/article/cont...

I prefer to say "libre" but I'm French 😅. Anyway, I made a little fake crowd that can gather around a point or another based on a simple 0 to 1 ratio. Their pattern is based on sunflower seeds pattern :) #indiedev #godot

Steam Machine seems so dead on arrival, it's crazy. For the same price you can get a switch 2 bundle and 10 full price games, including 9 full price (overpriced) PHYSICAL COPIES that you can resell and that don't take up storage space.

damn. valve is at the mercy of industry players that dwarf them to such an extent they just have to deal with whatever they're being charged for access to the market? that sounds rough. can't imagine what that's like kotaku.com/valve-says-t...

I'm from France and I can tell you that I just got the most enjoyable mango sorbet of my entire life.

This is a quote from valve about their new steam machine and vendor lock-in: "We think this can make sense for a single business in the short term but that open ecosystems are better for customers over the long term." "open ecosystems are better", do you think steam is an open ecosystem ?

If your game doesn't fit into any box, maybe try to think outside the box 🫳🎤

Two of the most toxic (non-political) ideas in gamer culture are (i) that games are time-fillers, not experiences; and (ii) that games should entertain you forever, rather than that they end and you move on.
