EA abandoned Road Rash, so I'm making my own. Debut video. #indiegames #gamedev

@IndieGameJoe It's a gamers market, players can be overly critical because 50+ games launch daily. Best to expect and ignore the haters.

Guys, I think I am going to quit Indie Game Joe. All I do is try to shine a spotlight on indie games in my spare time, help out where I can behind closed doors, and there is just so much hate. I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry.

@Gutterspawn Totally, it's a vibe we rarely seem to see these days.

@DeveloperDob Perfect! Giving me the Jailbreak vibes, 100% crucial in recapturing that Road rash attitude!

Comically gross looking biker characters skillfully painted for my 90s Road Rash inspired indie game. #caricature #gameart #indiegame

@TheOtherFrost If it's easy, it's probably not worth much. You can apply that to most aspects of life.

Not to be confrontational, but what is the business plan behind selling genAI drawings, games, movies, music when your customers could ALSO use genAI to make their own?

@nostalgia_ Rented this one from the local movie store multiple times!

Vigilante 8 (1998)

@redblueen Beautiful stuff!

Preview of the full BTS tutorial I just posted on Patreon. This one was a bit different: multiple cameras and Grease Pencil for the motion blur effect. Full video + blend file over there. #blender #animation

@GameRoll_ And here I am as a solo dev paying $$$ out of pocket to hire freelancers to avoid AI.

A Redditor has discovered an AI generated artwork in Crimson Desert. There are other posts that also claim to have found AI generated images throughout the game. It’s not even a “good” image. Pure slop, just look at the horses legs LMAO. Really disappointing.

@Bribarian42 @1GamewithDave1 I'm making one.

@1GamewithDave1 I'll never understand how this game doesnt have multiple remakes and remasters.

Are you one of these souls?

@MisterSpace3 You're allowed to like it. Just don't complain when every game that applies it looks the same.

Do you still trust your eyes? Or do you trust someone else's opinions more than your eyes? #dlss5 #rtxOn

@Andy_VGC Reminds me of LA noir, uncanny faces on cartoons bodies. Atleast their's used visuals from real people.

This is horrific

@NVIDIAGeForce Mixed feelings. I'm getting fatigued on hyper realistic AI visuals in all media.

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall. DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality. Learn More → nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/…

@Beepjustice @devsanddorks Going well. I aim for quality over quantity (not posting for the sake of posting), which doesn't appease the algorithm but does okay in wishlist.

@DeveloperDob @devsanddorks Really nice gameplay. Curious how you're growing wishlists.

Working on an #indiegame? Let's see it ⬇️ We will be featuring games throughout the week. #indiedev #gamedev

@oldyzach The game was great, however it was the editor that was immensely impactful to me and my career. Taught me a lot.

Love or not? 😎

@KKindiegame Loved the FMVs too! I'm hoping I can raise the funds or source a skeleton crew that can create similar cutscenes with 90s bikes.

@DeveloperDob Nice art, personally it was never my fave part of Road Rash, but either way I'm super stoked to try this! I used to love the FMVs in all the Road Rash games

Caricature art in the works! Painted by Luis Rojas. #gameart #roadrash

@Sergio_Suzano Thanks! Game title: Bash Moto

@DeveloperDob Looking gorgeous! What's the name of the game please?

Regular vs Pixel shaded. Look close and you'll see a rider go into the stratosphere 😄 #indiegame #gamedev

@IgrekGames I get that, it's more noticeable on a large screen. Video compression diminishes the effect too.

@DeveloperDob To be absolutely honest, I don’t see much difference :)

@KyleDGamedev If I had children I'd advise them not to work in the game industry. Honestly. You gotta get lucky or work insanely harder than any desk job to stay afloat.

I worked three jobs just to finish my first indie game. Cosmic Coop took 3 years to make and cost around $92,000 (which is quite insane) It has only made about $20,000 on Steam so far, so it still isn’t profitable. But I don’t regret it. That project taught me more about development, art, and project management than any tutorial ever could. My next game, Critter Tactics, reuses the same assets but has a much smaller scope and is already halfway finished after only a few months. Scope matters. Start tiny. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #unitygamedev #solodev #gamedevlife
