Everything is being run by people who have absolutely no curiosity about how the conditions of their reality have come to be whatsoever.

Already noticed some AAA games from the last few years slipping in quality due to the attack on labourers by the wealthy class and uh... I think gamers need to know it's gonna keep deteriorating in small ways, not a big bang Games will still drop for a while, but they'll be quietly worse
As of this morning, the itch bundle officially broke 100k. This is a lifeline to our fellow workers and proof that solidarity extends beyond borders, both literal and figurative. Never let anyone tell you that things cannot change.
United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 3d agoYou’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊
y'know I'm happy when people ask to pet my dogs first even though they're friendly, but if you ask it while already reaching to pet the dog it defeats the purpose a bit lmao
We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 6d agoIn response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
@barndone.bsky.social 's Oblivion playthrough summarized intro: Me: "you should be a stealth archer" Him: "no I'm doing ________" middle: Me: "are you a stealth archer yet" Him: "no" reader, guess what I saw him doing when I walked into the living room this morning
Loaded up Hellslave 2 for a video and immediately ran into a beautiful "No AI" symbol right on startup. Absolutely love to see it, and would love to see more developers follow suit. store.steampowered.com/app/3399900/...

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.
I thought this headstone was for the dog for a sec 😭

this happened 14 minutes ago but unfortunately due to my personality "Proplem in elvator" has immediately become a load-bearing part of my vocabulary
Playing around with dragon rigs (ps I'm still looking for work)
Nine hours after going live, the itch bundle benefiting our Game Worker Hardship Fund has already raised over $13k! Thank you so much to those who have already purchased. And for those who might be waiting for payday, you’ve still got about two weeks left! Thank you so much 🙏
Daniel is the other half of our 2 person 3D team at Sunset Visitor and he made a cool game!! Check it out!! Congratulations Daniel!! 🎉❤️

I was asked about a small breakdown for the 3D anime ramen and realized my breakdown thread was on the cursed site from which I deleted my account 😅 So I'm gonna post a small 🧵 here
Animation folks that are looking for work currently, or in the next few weeks, I have a lead on an Adult Animation/Action/Superhero show staffing up soon: BG Layout - mid level Blender knowledge needed Prop 2d FX Char Design Feel free to drop portfolio links below, and I will send them along to AD
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!
Natalie (Tali) Vancouver era ✨@talidev3d.bsky.social · 3w agoI 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 😓
thank you to everyone that has shared this so far! giving it a bump today❤️
