when the game's itch page looks like this you know you're in for a good time
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 6d agoIn response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
Discussion of new Fallout projects should be a big, exciting thing, even if all the games are years off. But doing it as a "well, we just made deep cuts but these studios can still produce video games, honest!" kind of damage control thing just sucks.
i'm firmly of the belief that everyone should have a creative hobby. even if you aren't "good" at it. it keeps your critical thinking skills engaged, it reminds you that you're still capable of learning and growing and improving at things, it helps you connect to other people. you gotta make stuff!
We have a lot of support from people outside of Canada and it's been a while since we shared it, so: if you want to know what we're like on stage, this is a good introduction. www. youtube.com/watch?v=Vdv_kSk1kPk

Hey everyone, our latest song "By The Neck" is now out. We started this piece two years ago and spent a long time playing it live before deciding we were happy with it, so if you've been to any of our shows since then, it might sound familiar! waxlimbs.bandcamp.com/track/by-the...

Our next song 'By The Neck' comes out tomorrow. We started the first demo of this thing two years ago, and a lot has changed. We can't wait to share it with you all! It will be available here: waxlimbs.bandcamp.com/track/by-the... Here's a clip of us playing it live in 2025
also my partner *does* draw but doesn't have a bluesky, so i'm posting on their behalf for #makeaterriblecomicday2026 oneirocrite.neocities.org/diary/#20260...
i don't really ever draw, but participation in #makeaterriblecomicday is mandatory. i would've liked to have done something a bit lighter, but i was hit like a lightning bolt with this idea earlier today, so here we are #makeaterriblecomicday2026

Wario64@wario64.bsky.social · 2mo ago'The road to Unreal Engine 6' - www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa... "for UE6, we see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need."
i usually keep my games industry opinions to myself, but we already have a problem with unreal games all looking the same. that they're pushing further in that direction and going all-in on AI is so deeply toxic to the medium. there are so many talented artists who want to be working on your games

adhd is crazy cause you can rot for an entire week and finally on day 7 your third eye opens and all the tasks you were procrastinating on get done in 3 hours
"get more orbs with nitro" what the fuck is an orb. what is going on with discord. why does anyone need more orbs. why does anyone pay for nitro. stop giving me fucking popup ads inside my chat client. i'm going to fucking scream
this is an astounding way to refer to an adaptation of Neuromancer. incredible headline work if your goal is to send a bunch of thirtysomethings on a rage spiral.
Hey all, I'm planning out my year and I'll have some availability in the mid-late fall for game audio work if people are in need! Feel free to shoot me a DM or reach out via my website- I compose, handle technical sound design, and am super comfy with Unity and version control :) lexfeathers.ca
whole thread is good, but this point: i left my code job partly because everyone around me was drilling -this- into my head. the industry treats code as a black box that meets spec: to survive in that industry is to internalize this feeling. that’s a huge shame but also part of why we’re here now
Eniko Fox@enikofox.com · 4mo ago"it doesn't matter what the code is all that matters is that it runs and produces the desired result" liar. what you're saying is bullshit. you know it's bullshit and you're saying it anyway
Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence
