This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead
I've been enjoying slowly building a janky Unreal voxel editor and framework for my current game - and I probably use it in future projects too. #unrealengine #gamedev
Finished SH: Townfall, and feel pretty ambivalent about it overall. It didn't go quite hard enough for me, but I liked it. [Some light spoilers in thread if you want to avoid them altogether, but I won't go into any specifics.]
Part 2 of the conversation I had with @michaelvadney.bsky.social on Author Adjacent is live, and this one is all about narrative in games :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=r79K...

Writers, creatives, etc., I wrote an unhinged blog post about the process of independently publishing a novel and the psychological horrors that come from sharing your art. Maybe it will help you on your journey, or maybe it'll just give you a laugh <3 www.jarrettpoole.com/onindiepubli...

I hate that UE Blueprints are getting phased out, cause I keep finding out new ways to extend them. Like - did you know you can hook into the blueprint compilation step and add hidden nodes? For a narrative system, I use this to generate nodes needed for saving. #unrealengine #blueprints #gamedev
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 😓
Most of my experience lies with Unity and Unreal (as well as doing smaller projects Raylib projects using the C# and C++ wrappers) but am open (and excited) about learning new engines!

I wanna try something to help fellow indie devs. Wonder if I have enough reach for this to work... 🙂 Are you an indie dev with a demo in #SteamNextFest? Share your game below! 🎮 Are you a journalist, content creator, or just a fan of #IndieGames? Check out these demos from cool devs! RTs welcome!
ECS has its place, but I feel like we're moving away from design-forward thinking toward an "everything is content and all content is interchangeable" with the latest presentations on UE6. (It's not even strictly ECS, it's more like Unity since behaviour is accomplished through components.)

ICYMI, check out who narrates the audiobook. (Spoiler: it's Chiwetel Ejiofor.)
Andy Diggle@andydiggle.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt occurs to me that Susanna Clarke‘s Piranesi is the ultimate Backrooms story.
I'm looking for a part time, paid gig. I can make unique, hand-crafted models, scan them to 3d (high poly or lower), give them a basic rig. If you want to make a game with my unorthodox, IGF/ Indie Game Awards nominated art, let me know.
to help fill my slots I am happy to provide a 3D printable file to anyone who gets a slot on this batch for free. I would lower my rates but this is the lowest I can possibly make them.

When running into a development issue I'm often tempted to blame the tools I'm using (eg. Unity/Unreal APIs), but I usually find it's better to assume I've made the mistake. Shifting to this perspective helps me approach the problem and actually find a solution rather than wallowing in frustration.
I love this little house I made for Judero. Why not give Judero a play? I think you'll like it. store.steampowered.com/app/1960900/...

Alongside traditional stop motion, we are scanning in the models for ABIDE. It's all very exciting. Follow along here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...
