BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Everytime we come here it's getting harder and harder to go back to Spain.

Ubisoft has released Chroma, an open source tool that adds colour blindness filters to in-game content in real time www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-rele...

Another r/gamedev banger reply

I just released the Museum of All Things version 1.0!!! You can find it at mayeclair.itch.io/museum-of-al...

I just saw someone wrote "if you are over 30 share life advice" and immediately thought "oh god, no".

On top of it, other people send bottles with lights and cool pictures, while all we game designers have to offer is... spreadsheets? Anyone weird enough to be interested in seeing a crazy spreadsheet born through the chaos of an ideation phase? No? Didn't think so.

I'm not that good with social media anyways. For me, it feels like I'm putting messages in a bottle and throwing them to a sea already packed with other people bottles'.

I'm so busy lately I almost forgot this thing even existed.

"Fully playable", sure...

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.

One more reason to love The Last Guardian... it has the best 'holy shit, I'm coming down these stairs a bit fast' animation.

I gave it a try last night just to check how versatile it is, and I loved it! Just a feature missing on my opinion: To be able to make appear and dissappear by trigger another triggers. And maybe more dressing options, like stand-alone lights for better level navigation. Anyways, 100% recommended!

Oh! We're doing this here too? Cool 🥸

It's nice and sunny over here, so here's a water shader I worked on a lifetime ago. #shader #UnrealEngine #techart #3Dart

My favourite level design and environment art resource and the best website on the internet is still noclip.website

Super-Dungeon-Maker is apparently free for educational purposes, and that makes me SO happy :D I just bought it for myself, but I plan to share it with my game design class. Hopefully we'll be having soon a level design workshop! www.rokaplay.com/super-dungeo...

My wife bought something important.

The Labyrinth Bestiary is such a tressure! The environments, the creepy but friendly creatures....

After months of bot interactions at "the other place", this feels so refreshing 😮‍💨

My dad sent me japanese gardens that blend into interior living spaces. 🤩

Antes cerdo que fascista ;)

I'm right now going through an intense ideation / reference hunting process, so if I get too annoying with books and stuff just ignore me 🥲

I would get this Nausicaa artbook again, even if just for the beautiful landscapes...

Mandatory intruction post here :) I'm Vicent, I've been on indie dev for about 10 years (formerly at Digital Sun as creative director of Cataclismo). I also teach game design at a local college. Now I'm starting a new studio. I will share more about it soon!
