PSA to both Artists and Indie Devs: scammers are applying for game art contracts using AI. I did interviews with paid tests because I wanted to show good faith to artists who've been tricked into doing unpaid work we got identical submissions from 3 different accounts

RUSH version 0.2.3 is up on Itchio 🙏 New moves (straight mid, and finally an Electric-like), mechanical changes, refinements to tracking, fixes to some Lobby issues, etc. Gonna *try* to get more moves in before CEO, we'll see #TEKKEN #IndieGameDev alcratz.itch.io/rush-proto

Now in general my educated guess is Ragna. It just makes sense based on recent events. However This being announced at AX and not a fighting game has me on a bit of hopium. Is it time for our girl to return?

HERE COMES DAREDEVIL! 🔥 #GGST Producer Ken Miyauchi has confirmed that GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- will have another guest character in Season Pass 5! Who do you think it's going to be? 👀 #ASWxAX26

FUCK. ....guess it's good that I still hadn't upgraded from 4.5. Perhaps it's time to take the tools I made in 4.5 and fork it off into something else entirely

Yuri@yurisizov.bsky.social

Unreal quadrupling down on AI? Well, if you're considering Godot, keep in mind that the last version that was not made with AI contributions was 4.5. You can perhaps extend some courtesy to 4.6, but 4.7 openly includes AI-generated code and LLM-assisted changes. Do with this info what you will.

anyway here's Melty Blood AACC (CCCaster) running over Steamworks, so you don't have to share your IP and can play with friends behind firewalls and CGNAT. just share a lobby code and you're done. coming soon probably hehe.

Congrats to all who submitted something to the #FightingGameAprilJam2026, especially if it's your first 'shipped' game. I played, rated and left feedback on all 60 games and I was impressed with many of them. Even at the lower end of the rankings, most games had good ideas or did something well.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

I'm ngl I can't pay my $2 google one subscription anymore I really need some graphic design commissions while I'm looking for a job I'm very versatile, I've done work for Limbo Breakers, MarsBars_Music, and Midwest Mixfest in the past, I usually do logos for around $20-50 depending on complexity

About fell out of my chair when I heard about this, been a dream to have the person that inspired so much of my love for fighting games play something I made, and now it really happened! Here's to hoping the full version of ZEPHYR-39 goes well enough I can convince you to go for round 2! 😜

I was a judge on this as well! Lots of cool ideas & aesthetics here, great job to everyone who participated cause I think this has to be one of the hardest genres to make something for in general, nonetheless with a deadline. I spent a little too much time in training mode on some of y'alls games!

LETS GOOOO WE GOT 2ND IN INNOVATION! Congrats to the other games as well, this has been a wonderful experience!

My character design process: make a freak, figure out what the freak is really about, redesign the freak to live up to higher freak standards

rare open reply post bc i'm actually really interested in what gaming future game devs see and are holding out for if you're a game dev who follows me, let me know: WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT SHORT TERM AND/OR LONG TERM GOALS IN GAME DEV?

This week's #AskAGameDev focuses on looking forward! Share your short vs long term goals with us 💭 Connect with someone else on shared goals and maybe find a dev buddy in the replies/quotes who is trying to work towards the same thing 💙💚 #gamedev

I WILL be watching!

I'm a judge for #FightingGameAprilJam2026 And while I'm not the best artist I wanted to draw one character from each submission as possible before it ended but wow My expectations have been blown away and we potentially got 40 games submitted and I hope they keep going on their games

might be in deep shit. roommates and i are barely able to afford rent and groceries every month. then it turns out that we're a whole month behind on rent because the apartment's accountant was behind and only just notified us. website said we were in the clear until two days ago
