It's far from perfect, but LinkedIn has become my social media hangout of choice in the wake of X/Threads/bsky/Mastodon fragmentation.
Come find me waffling all things #GamesIndusty over there: linkedin.com/in/heydanthomas

Leaving my field and heading to Guildford on Friday to deep dive all things @ApparanceUK with @ga5p0d3 followed by some spooky Halloween funsies ๐
If anyone's about and wants a #ProcGen nerd out, give me a shout. Might even treat you to a spooky pumpkin-spiced latte!

@Tylru @UnrealEngine Nice! Please try some Busta Rhymes next๐

๐ Iโm looking for Indie devs/pubs/marketers releasing in 2025, I have something super stealth and VERY cool to invite you to...
Who do I/should I know?
If thatโs you, say hi (reply or DMs are open)
RTs and rec's appreciated ๐

I *think* I'm just about on top of this now. If you reached out and haven't heard from me, it's because of Twitter's barmy messaging rules because I'm not verified/premium ๐คท
English
I've not been active on Twitter for a long time, because all it showed me was ads and anger. The past few days, being connected to so many #IndieGameDev folks has been a real welcome palette cleanser.
I've seen so many cool games that weren't on my radar ๐ฅณ
English
I was expecting like 20 people to notice this. I've got 90 replies and a similar no of DM's ๐ซ
Just to temper expectations, this IS cool and I'm hyped for it, but I'm not giving away wads of cash or anything.
We just wanna help lil games get noticed, and this'll help. Back tmrw๐ด
English
Oof, I stupidly posted this in multiple places and it's getting better reach than I'd expected ๐
Bear with me peeps, I will get back to everyone.
If you don't have DMs open, you'll need to follow me, soz.

#SteamNextFest can be overwhelming for a lot of indie game developers...
...but does it have to be? ๐ค
I build marketing tools like Coverage Bot to help on the community-side! ๐

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the IMPACT! Pitch Up! Practice event in Bristol this week! ๐๐

Following on from yesterdays first steps exploring artistic control of procedural scenes, we add hero buildings and automatic terrain surface effects and foliage. ๐ฆ๐จ๐ณ๐ฒ

We've been discussing artist control within procedural systems *a lot* lately.
This will be a fun one to follow ๐

Sam Swain โก ๐ฆ๐@ga5p0d3
A common issue we encounter with our #ProcGen clients is the level of control available when working with procedural systems. Join me as we experiment with various ways artists can influence and interact with a procedurally generated scene using Apparance in Unreal...
