more plainly: your goats are aging out at best, washed or dead at worst. the youth of today deserve the same inspiration you did at their age. if that means something to you it’s our turn to step up - what are YOU gonna do about it?
radd@ethanredd.bsky.social · 2w agohe's 100% right. endless sequels, "spiritual successors", AAA third-person shooter with special-vision mechanic frankensteins, and nostalgia-bait are where actually novel design goes to die. we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible to do and feel through this medium
No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
I'm still sorting through these but like this thing has folders which contain hundreds of joel valentine's original sound effects for powerpuff girls and this is like fucking christmas for sound effects artists. this is like finding the ark of the covenant
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 3w ago⚠️ A massive leak containing model sheets, puppet rigs, storyboards, and other materials from Cartoon Network shows have been spread on the internet. Fans are speculating that the Skydance merger (as Paramount’s content is very notorious of getting leaked) was the cause.
no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind
trans ppl basically lost the battle (not the war though) the minute everyone started thinking "sex is totally separate from gender and sex is more Real and Unchangeable" like full stop
What I’ve seen often over the years is that cis allies will enthusiastically embrace a lot of 101 trans basics—“everyone has a right to live how they want,” respecting names and pronouns, etc—but visibly balk once we start having to challenge norms about trans women.
New work! Logo design for Beehive Skate Shop, a Denver CO hub for the roller skating community.
i REALLY like life its so fun and cool what an absolute joy to be here
For my newest video I took people's assumptions about game development and... addressed them! Including why crunch actually happens, how much money game developers make, and the unique way that making games 'ruins them' for you: youtu.be/WnfKzdTUjtw?...
I fear we have misunderstood game development

Butt teeth! Butt teeth! Butt teeth!@panic.gay · 2mo agoEveryone on here is filled with a fresh batch or loathing for JK Rowling, so it seems like a good time to bring up that a shockingly large number of leaders within the AI world know each other because they were all part of a niche fandom that centered around a pretentious Harry Potter fanfic.
Annihilation is about a summer in a beautiful wilderness on the coast that brings four strangers closer together as they work for a crusty old lighthouse keeper.

Otherwise I'm going to forget. I don't know really what it's about, but the cover art struck me and I need audio to drown out my coworkers. I hope it's as good as it looks
what is the greatest collection of free 3D models online? WRONG. it's mcmaster carr.
This is one of those arguments that sounds like slopulism but is actually, if anything, understated. 56% of Colorado river water goes to GROWING FEED FOR LIVESTOCK IN THE DESERT.

One of the best things indie devs can do to improve their craft is to cultivate a broad variety of interests. If you can be conversant in graphics, writing, animation, music, sound design, etc then you'll be way better-equipped to make cohesive games, and you'll be MUCH better at collaborative work.
Nathan Savant@baldsavant.bsky.social · 2mo agoFocusing on your craft does very little. Games, movies, etc that are bad are not bad because the people making them are bad at their jobs individually. They're bad because the people making them were unable to coordinate. Learning a lil of other peoples' jobs is what will make you better at yours
