Hello people from

This is a question about game streamers. Every year there are more and more streamers. My subjective opinion is that this only makes the video game market worse. Especially indie games.

⭐ Please write why you don't watch streamers and if you watch streamers, it is even more interesting - why, which ones? How old are you?

Hello programmers from

I have a question for you.

⭐ What programming language do you use most of your life? Why exactly?

Most of my time I worked with almost the entire .Net stack, and in recent years it's Unity, so my language is C#
There were episodes in my life with mobile, many web stuff, java, c++, databases, etc.

My first ever Steam game - Costa Verde Transport Department, a cozy traffic simulator - is OUT ON STEAM RIGHT NOW!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403100/Costa_Verde_Transport_Department

Thanks to everyone for the enormous support. Many things went wrong during the development process, but at least I learnt a lot and managed to release a game :)

ELLIOTTCABLE, to programming

So, I’m low-key thinking of writing my first-ever graphics-heavy software. (Specifically, to do with VR / UIs, but not gaming.)

Thing is, my experience is with PLT & compilers, distsys, FOSS … but extremely not graphics, GPUs, or single-host performance of pretty much any kind.

I need advice. If I want to learn some relatively-low-level graphics stuff, but I have zero relevant background; where do I start?

Any resources for me (tutorials, books, well-known starter projects?)

(Also, any Mastodon accounts I should follow on this topic? Poke me if you're into this stuff and I'll follow you! :P)

🥳 Happy Thursday! I’m excited to release the big 2.0 update to my album player @longplay today.

Where 1.0 focussed on discovery and the album wall, 2.0 focusses on the listening experience and organising your albums.

There's a now playing screen, album shuffle, CarPlay and more. Free update for existing users.

Read about the story behind the update and what's next:

My thoughts on the new jetbrains UI in a nutshell.

(if you haven't seen it, it's your standard modern "we hid everything 3 levels deep in menus to make it look pretty!" modern design)

https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/new-ui/?utm_source=product&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=new_ui_release

As a long, LONG term customer I swear I'll drop them in an instance and write my own IDE if I have to if this ever stops being optional....

I've seen a lot of articles about how many games are on Steam now, and how this presents a massive visibility challenge, buuuut

How about this view instead?

This excludes the games that have limited profile features. That is, this excludes the games that essentially no one saw/bought.

(it really doesn't take much push to clear the limited profile features)

So, the betrayal with Unity is canceled... I can congratulate all the panickers and those who have already started studying other engines. Compromise seems to be the norm, and the logo made with unity can be off even with free use of the license.

What else do you need?

If you ask 10 game dev friends to play your game's prototype/alpha, 5 Won't even download it, 3 of those who download it will boot it once and say "looks great, I'll try it this weekend" and never do. 2 will give you feedback, only 1 of those will give you useful feedback. Cheer up, It has nothing to do with how good your game is, it's just math.

Hey folks, does anyone maintain two separate profiles for "work" and "everything else / all the things"?

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to try and maintain a handle that's more focused on apps and work stuff (e.g. @konstantin) rather than posting everything together here.

This is what Amazon Prime Video could have looked like on visionOS had they not restricted web playback on mobile Webkit.

Did all this work and then realized that Prime Video requires the Widevine plugin to be present which mobile safari does not support. Interestingly, Prime Video works on desktop Safari, and forcing the user agent on mobile Safari to be desktop Safari doesn’t work. ☹️

How do you get user feedback in your app?

Some things I've done before:

  • form in app that is directly feeding to GitHub (this is alright)
  • asked people to join my discord (low number of people did this)

New important poll 📌

Your primary behavior in Steam as a player

  1. Buy a new game without a discount
  2. Add to the wishlist and wait for a discount
  3. Wait for a 50% discount to buy...
  4. Is there no difference for you, and it depends on the game and mood

⭐ Please write in the comments more details

There comes a point where you just make the game you want to play and hope others want to play it too. If not, at least you had fun making a game.

Today I'm going to hit the button in Steam that will take the game from early access to release. But I do not feel a small victory. I gave the project 5 years of my life, but now I feel nothing. Maybe I'm psychologically devastated and emotions appear later

I'm interested to know what % of gamedev people started this path by learning everything on their own

Are you self-taught or did you study at an institution?

UI/UX from scratch is hard. 😕 Sometimes I wish I had some designer to talk to about stuff I develop for Questlog.

One thing that annoys me extremely: I just don't get into mobile first for it. This is weird because I myself use it exclusively on mobile and most users seem to use it mobile only. 😅

I will finally get there but working alone on something as full stack in frontend, backend, UI and UX is sometimes pretty hard.
