I know the industry is in a dire state right now for jobs but If any indie studios see this and need an additional programmer, PLEASE let me know ASAP! my partner @barndone.bsky.social is a great generalist programmer and needs a home! Vancouver on 1 salary isn't going to cut it for long 😓
I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.
The big reason to put off small optimizations now is that a big optimization could upgrade what was previously a 10% speed increase into a 20% speed increase! The correct way to optimize is to order work to maximize the sum of all your % speedup improvements. 🙃

Have you heard of this upcoming sokoban where you can flip positive and negative space?
Flip positive and negative space back and forth in the new demo for Box or Void, a Sokoban game with an elegant twist · Thinky Games

i learned SO MANY WORDS from video games that i once wrote a whole thing about it ziggurat! epee! polytheism!
The Weird Words I Learned From Video Games - Kotaku
We learn a lot of words growing up. We learn a lot of words at school. We might even learn some at college. But as expansive as our vocabularies can
kotaku.com
nathaniel@pedrothedagger.bsky.social · 8mo agothere is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol
The new preface to this great and depressing scholarly book gets into the explosion of sports betting and “prediction markets” since 2012’s 1st edition, plus well-meaning games-for-change types trying to harness dark patterns for good. Everyone within 30 feet of gamedev should read it.
