Hello people from #mastodon

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 #mastodon

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.

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?

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

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

Epic Games Store 📌

Hello #mastodon people!

simple question that I asked a long time ago... let's update the stats

⭐ Do you buy games from the Epic Games Store?

If you bought a couple of games there for the whole time, and mostly buy in other stores, then it is better to count it as - no

A long time ago I told myself never to work on multiple projects at once. One project at a time. I understand that very soon I will finish porting the Erra: Exordium to consoles and will have to look for a new idea. Does anyone work on multiple game projects at the same time?
I heard that some indie solos have this practice, because one project is psychologically exhausting and they switch their attention to another, but I think it's terrible

I'm trying to write about game development here, but sometimes I just can't keep quiet about what's happening in Ukraine. Today, Kyiv is still quiet at night...

I can't sleep, my friends from Odessa are writing terrible things, they are being bombarded with rockets. Lots of explosions. Apparently, they are trying to destroy grain stocks

In addition to the deaths of people from the war in Ukraine, there is a huge probability that people will die due to hunger in other countries.

Hello #mastodon game developers

What is the genre of your game that you are working on or plan to work on?

What do you think makes it unique and why should other people play it?

My 9-year-old son just experienced what every game developer feels. Crying 😂

In Scratch, he was making a game, but accidentally deleted the sprite behind which the code, which he had been creating for a very long time. And he closed the project without returning this action. Lost the code and keeps crying. It is sad and joyful, this is #gamedev experience baby 👽

What are the most boring tasks you have to do while developing your game?

#gamedev #indiedev #IndieGameDev

maxim, 9 months ago to gamedev

I like to write these posts at night, they seem to be about #gamedev but mostly about sick thoughts... so no one cares.

So, I write so much code, work with almost all directions in the game, not only code, gameplay stuff, testing, porting on console... also promo.. sometimes I want to go to a league where the content itself will not depend on me, only my ideas... let others do all this

The player does not know that several people who are very tired are behind all this

Hello developers from #mastodon

⭐ What graphics card and processor do you have? Is there any reason why?

as for me, I was assembling my last computer in 2021, i9 and GeForce 3080Ti. This year I bought a laptop Rog Strix with AMD. I see that Unity works faster on amd.

Today I have a major cleaning in my home work area. Old MSDN cases with discs came to hand again

Imagine if game subscriptions worked like that today. You sign up and get hundreds of CDs every six months

PS5 Devkit looks cosmic!

Devkit was packed and lay for a very long time. I did not specifically look at him, I was waiting for the moment when I would start working with him. Started reading the documentation today and unpacked and connected the devkit. Beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't take a picture to show it to you, but I think you've already seen it on the Internet

I did not think that trophy management for PlayStation would be so difficult. Erra: Exordium in Steam has 39 achievements and there is no gradation.

For PlayStation I have to balance gradations and points: Bronze, Silver, Gold (15/30/90 points). Several times I deleted the last trophy so that I could change the gradation of the previous ones. Because if you go beyond the indicator 950 points, you have to use Platinum. In my case it is not possible

Game design document (#gamedev thread)

I started to write a GDD, the first points are very general: a brief description, genres and general features, basic mechanics, setting as an example of a movies, games for analysis, distinguishing features of gameplay - it can all fit on one page
