Having received so much love for our good old #MoonChild game, we are happy to give love back to the game community by releasing the Moon Child source files + assets. Details can be read in the ReadMe text. We're looking forward to see what you're going to create! 💚 bitbucket.org/rhinoid/moon...

As promised, here's my #Game Design Doc - definitely DON'T read it until you've played the game though. docs.google.com/document/d/1... #gamedev #indiegames
The absolute gut punch of seeing mentors and heroes fall for the ai grift. Seeing their avatars flip to ugly generated art, their posts start to read like they were generated… lashing out at people who’ve clearly privately tried to walk them back to reality. We’re losing a lot of 50+ nerds to this
hello my fellow podcasters, Audacity is running a survey and as you'd expect, there are AI questions on there! Very leading questions, at that! Tell them you do not need AI baked into this useful recording/editing software! thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

Friday afternoon I posted my first YouTube vid, about why mid tier games are becoming difficult to get funded or be discoverable. I was hoping for 50 views but surprisingly it somehow hit over 5000 views with 140 positive comments. Happy to welcome more feedback/discussion: ▶️ youtu.be/REZiMNDy0l8

Chris Pruett@cpruett.bsky.social · last yr.Random game Saturday! THE DOCUMENT OF METAL GEAR SOLID 2 is an amazing look at the production details of a crazy, complex video game. Absolutely required viewing for all technical artists, and good for any game dev generally. So many hard problems solved with smart art and design rather than code.
lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal
Since the Oscars are tomorrow, animation fans shouldn't just be looking at the Best Animated Feature category and call it a day. We should also be caught up with seeing all the nominees for Best Animated Short. Luckily, they're uploaded on YouTube, and this thread will guide you to all of them.
“The concept of Donkey Kong Bananza is…destruction.” “Destruction.” “Destruction.” “Destruction.” Donkey Kong Bananza talk is off to a fantastic start
I would like to remind people that when Nintendo made a brand new web based Star Fox 2 manual for the SNES Mini, it also included actual old design document scans for the game and I think it's pretty rad: www.nintendo.co.jp/clvs/manuals...

crait 🐔 (Jonathan Holmes)@crait.bsky.social · 6mo agoOver on the Arduboy forums, I've put up a $150USD bounty for anyone who can find a safe way to switch between two different games. If anyone is able to do this, I'll finally be able to add a lot more features to my Bytes and Knights game! community.arduboy.com/t/150usd-bou...
Ah, awesome! Really cool you found these documents and files, thanks! ☺️

In the Risk Assessment docs where Monolith goes over risks and offers solutions, they discuss steps to distinguish themselves from Arkham Asylum and its in-development sequel. They held monthly calls with Arkham people to avoid collisions, even pivoting away from maps planned for Apollo.

Nayan Ramachandran@thetrin.blacksky.app · 7mo agoIndie devs are getting hacked on discord, so if you are friend with other indie devs, please be cautious what you engage with. For now, it's best not to download any builds from devs. Best to stick to Steam keys until further notice.

If anyone is interested in learning basic programming or python, I HIGHLY recommend this. Granted, I didn’t take the course, but I followed the book on my own and it is an OUTSTANDING way to learn some python skills to do what the title says: Automate the Boring Stuff! 😎👍🏼
Al Sweigart@alsweigart.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe course that follows along with my Automate the Boring Stuff with Python book is free on Udemy if you sign up in the next four days with the link in this post: www.reddit.com/r/learnprogr...
