I’ve been hosting a lil discord for indie devs and adjacent creatives since 2022, here’s a periodic reminder: discord.gg/nzFwRFRZWZ

Well I found someone to do the art on my articles so I can finally release part 2 relatively soonish

Writing a series of programming articles for the Moonworks Framework and I need someone to properly diagrams that I have in the article, any suggestions ?

My PC has been out of commission for two weeks and lord is it good to be back writing software again.

I'm opening commissions! No set number of slots for now, and you can find more info in the link below. 🎨 www.hrpixelart.com/commissions ✉️ hunter@hrpixelart.com

Commissions — Hunter Russell • Pixel Artist • Animator

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out

and if you think this is bad now think about how those 130 countries wont have a way to buy any new playstation games past 2028 without psn access

Special Cancel@specialcancel.com · last mo.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has opted to block the purchase of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls on PC in 130 countries. The game cannot be legally purchased on Steam or the Epic Games Store in regions where the PlayStation Network is officially unavailable. #SIE #MarvelTokon #ArcSys

Hey, if you need a pixel artist, I'm available (again!) for new work! I've got over a decade of industry experience, and I've worked previously on games like Perfect Tides Station to Station, Scott Pilgrim EX, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, and Cross Blitz. 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 🎨 www.hrpixelart.com

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Hey indie peeps. I'm going to be doing Kotaku's Indie Penance Day on Friday July 3 this year. If you have an upcoming or recently released game that deserves eyes, please email me at jwalker@kotaku.com with the subject "INDIE PENANCE 2026", and include a store link and YouTube video. Rules follow.

I'm sorry that I implied anything after GTA 4 has brought interesting game design ideas into the industry

Kinaetron@kinaetron.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Also respectfully I think when people say Indies will save video games they mean artistically, because christ almighty I can’t even think of a interesting influence this decade from AAA games thats has had on the wider culture that isn’t some legacy brand like GTA

Gonna be blunt larpers / posers are a thing and our whole that's not a thing stance in the 2010's has in fact got us in this enshitification of our hobbies

This is also happening while the industry is posting record breaking profits

Sisyphus, but for reducing tail latency@bluespacecanary.bsky.social · last mo.

idk how you unfuck the economics of game dev, but big studios constantly going "we just can't afford all these developers who we pay like 60% the market rate for engineering roles w/ comparable experience at comparable non-game-dev companies" doesn't reflect well on studio execs' basic competence

When a take is so bad, it’s got me out here defending straight football fans 😒

I just spent most of my afternoon with my lovely friends watching game conferences online and boy oh boy I'm I fucking tired of talk over fucking trailers for games. You're not selling a fucking knife set on an infomercial tv channel, you're selling a fucking video game

do u see the vision

videajames@videajames.bsky.social · 2mo ago

fuck sonic, just make a whole evangelion kart racer. it would be funny. i wanna play as gendo

it really does suck when something you don't think is very good gets a bunch of haters who are just batshit insane

In my head I always had this idea that action game structured as a Shonen Jump manga had a lot of potential, to the point it felt to me like it bleedingly obvious

Do you make art and weird things with computers? Would you like to meet other people who do and talk to them about it? This June we're hosting a creativity unconference at King's - CUAK for short. Sat June 27th - Bush House - 9.30am-5.30pm Info and free tickets: www.possibilityspace.org/cuak/ 🦆

I'm never taking advice for game trailers from the dude that popularised the single worst game trailer trend in the video games

So sometimes I just look over at the state of games criticism and wonder why it's so stagnant ? I'm talking like your average player haven't really evolved in like 10 years

If I have to go through 5 interview steps and be told bullshit, I can at least work on something that doesn't make me wanna jump off a roof

I honestly do not know why I making myself 120 Star Super Mario 64, it's actively making my experience with the game worse

Also since I'm asking question who tf went "yeah the swimming in Mario 64 isn't hard enough lets add a whirlpool that insta kills the player 🤭"

I swear I'm being for real when I ask this, but whose actually keeping IGN afloat ?? Whose looking at the latest release and going yes I must know what IGN thinks of this video game
