Game Dev Thoughts Thread: Been a fan of game design for a while and realized I've barely punlished anything other than a few half baked mods as a squeaker, hoping writing out some thoughts in a public space will at least help me build myself some emotional momentum. Probably should be a blog but eh.
really dire state of the industry that nintendo's secret sauce is just not firing people for no reason
Zal@zalman.bsky.social · 5d agoFrom the Ocarina of Time - Ask the Developer interview Look at this flex. Being able to just go and ask the original developers from three decades ago is easily Nintendo's greatest strength
ya'll now see that gavin newsom is not capable of meeting this moment? he was trying to befriend all the guys who lost tonight the winners are the ones who are going "we'll FUCK UP the republicans" that's what we want. we don't want a newsom. trans rights wins fights.
Still tempted for my godot learning project to make some weird, relatively short, extremely King's Field game that force runs at 15fps
do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all
Jessica Ritchey@jmritchey.bsky.social · last wk.If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming
It's TIME! TO! GET! HYPE! Today, I get to proudly unveil Steam Hype, the project I've been working on with the help of @hookshot.media for the past two and a half months. A new PC gaming site which aims to demystify PC gaming, cut through the 100+ daily releases and spotlight indies as much as AAA
Steam Hype
Steam Hype is your go-to destination for discovering the latest, greatest, and most talked-about games on Steam.
steamhype.com
I'm trying to gauge interest in a potential project. Can I ask for your help, please? It's a two-question multiple-choice survey, it'll take 30 seconds, I won't get your name or email, you can do it in an incognito window. Please be honest! A broad range of truthful responses will be most helpful.

Okay so Steam Next Fest has a lot of AI slop on it. Crazy idea here but what if we took the people who already go through and find good games to try, and we gave them money for doing it. Like pay the people who find good things. Some kind of person who curates. For money.
A slightly better solution would be requiring proper, itemized AI disclosure and suspension/removal for improperly using the system, combined with options to filter stuff out. But I am fully aware that would still be very imperfect. But at least Chad Who Hates Visual Novels won't be in charge again

I've been itching to write this for years. And now is the best time to start playing Corru.Observer The story is at its halfway point. Book 1 of 2 complete. An international cliffhanger - the initial mystery solved, but the second half is yet to be told.

There are a whole bunch of photographs and film reels post-war of Mosley going to various places and trying to sell fascism, and then just getting a shit kicked out of him instead.

If you're serious about game development or design, PLAY OLD GAMES I can't overstate how many good ideas are sitting there waiting to be discovered. Sometimes it's not even stuff that was there at the time, it's only there now looking from a modern perspective.
ivy sly@ivysly.com · 4w agoThere is so much even in the simplest OG games that has been lost to time and shifts in culture
I find it "interesting" that news outlets keep saying "students" rather than "school kids" or "pupils". It took me a day to realise these aren't university students. These are children. Protesting. And being beaten by police. Like... 😳
Erica Ifill@wickdchiq.bsky.social · last mo.The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students
