Granaíno 3D artist and VR gamedev, regretfully Made ESCAPE FROM MANDRILLIA, the mandrill-themed, local multiplayer, asymmetric PC+VR horror game🐒 On Steam: http://steam.pm/app/1936360 Bunch of links: https://linktr.ee/germanban

marvel rivals is probably the ugliest game of all time. something deeply upsetting about the disney approved porn brained yet completely sexless ken doll aesthetic. nasty vibes. especially when anyone actually making games genuinely about sex is being debanked and banned

Steam really has just become Tiktok/Reels. It's just a feed of trend-chasing tag algo-slop. The only difference is that the people making it are losing a catastrophic amount of money/time to take their spin at the wheel of viral opportunity.

nos quedan tan solo 21 reviews de discopup para llegar a las 500 en steam 🙏 por favor si alguien de aquí lo tiene y aún no ha puesto review se lo agradeceríamos muchísimo. lo compensaremos con leaks futuros de discopup 2 en esta cuenta

The more realistic games get, the more determined I get to only ever make things that aesthetically fall roughly in the 2004-2008 HL2/Mirror's Edge minimalist illustrative realism look for the rest of my life.

‪Little video I made recently talking about different ways to adapt your VR game to left-handed people. It's something quite unique to VR gamedev that makes total sense but it's not talked about much I think. Lots of ways to go about it too! PS: buy Escape from Mandrillia NOW

I never understand people who express loud dismay that I'm not making some other game (multiplayer, milsim, etc) I never know what people want out of that interaction. Do people really think they can whine a person into doing a multi-year software product against their will?

Genuinely think one of the reasons we are where we are right now is that people who have grown up in the world of social media never internalized that literally all this is about commodifying attention and the strongest blow you can deal to these mouth breathing freaks is to not acknowledge them

Indie game dev is fun because you get to sacrifice basically your whole life for multiple years and have no idea if anyone is going to like or buy your thing. It's like gambling but instead of gambling money you bet years of your life.

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

The Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin asks his dad to come play in the snow with him. His dad initially says no, because he has to work. Then, angry at himself, his Dad goes out to build a snowman with Calvin. As the Dad works into the night to make up for it, we see Calvin’s mum lifting him up to give one of the few, if only, kisses he ever gives his dad in the Calvin and Hobbes run. His dad is content. It’s a textless comic, and it’s lovely.
