Sometimes I feel a little bad when my first thought seeing a beginner #gamedev is "give up now, it only and always gets harder."
Like, there's a certain kind of person who's capable of being a gamedev (the kind of person who hears that and says "I don't care, I'm doing it anyway") and I feel like the majority of people who think "it'd be fun to make a game" should question if they actually want to put in the required effort, but it still feels harsh lol
Visual novels are a blight on the indy games scene. An awkward fusion of game and fiction that degrades both art forms. No fiction is improved by reading it one line at a time, over a static image.
The problem is when VN authors branch out into other games. The medium teaches bad habits. The verbosity, limited choices, and tell-don't-show design always glare.

Hi - I made a game. The biotech experience is full of time crunch, risk management, choosing your exit strategy, and having a twinge of luck. And of course, it is fun 🙂

Work continues in the Pikuma NES dev course, with an important first for me: I've finally created something with (simple) physics! Note the accel/decel on the tank
After working fully-remote for Epic for a year, I can't ever imagine going back to work in an office. It's such a wonderful experience for me:
⭐ I can pick up my kid when they finish daycare at 4pm, and fill in the hours at other times, even very late or early in the morning.
⭐ I can do chores or exercise in my lunch break.
⭐ My commute is exactly 0 minutes.
⭐ Our optional zoom room is perfect for jumping in and out of to keep up with information and build friendships with team-members. #GameDev
My fork has some cool features I haven't seen in other drivers yet, though TAD is supposed to get the main one I wanted (sound effects interrupting music channels) and just generally seems better designed?
When you receive an email from IARC Content Rating (global age ratings) - it will mean stress again. The rating has been increased in the game. And this means that it is necessary to make patches for consoles, because the game has meta rating data. How I love all this...
A project called "Queer Them All" is offering to translate a queer game into multiple languages for free to celebrate the upcoming pride month! If you have a game with queer themes or are an LGBT+ developer, you can apply here:
