@georgebsocial I'd be down for a Pharaoh's Tomb Remaster ;) Talk to me George if you're interested.

You can probably thank Unity for the bulk of this curve starting 2009 or so. Then Unreal really became open to indies. Now Godot. The democratization of game development. A lot of walls and barriers came down. And we're now in a golden age of indie games. It's staggering.

@MissingAFew90 @Jonathan_Blow @ThePrimeagen Hah fair enough! I've used it every day for the last 7 years and before that from 2005-2014 and I can't even think of any times where exclusive checkout has been a problem. I just think P4 unfairly gets a bad rap sometimes. It has issues, so does git (which I've also used a lot)
English
@BananaboySam @Jonathan_Blow @ThePrimeagen True, but I wanted him to win that one. I do dislike it sometimes.
English
fun fact: my career was svn (tortoise) -> git -> perforce -> git
My first year at netflix was a downgrade to perforce... I hated it.

@stuwillis @OnTakahashi I was on the FilmVic panel when goose game got funding. That was a massive funding round. Ring of Pain, Shooty Skies, Artful Escape, Dead Static Drive plus many many more
English
@OnTakahashi Indeed. "Untitled Goose Game" was also funded through VicScreen back when they were FilmVictoria.

You’re gonna be hard-pressed to find indies games in Australia that isn’t funded in some way by their respective state government Screen fund or even the federal Screen Australia.
It’s one of the only countries in the world that proactively funds indie game development.

Oh…so it looks like not only did Mixtape get funding from the Larry Ellison’s daughter, it seems they also got funding from the Australian Taxpayers too, via the government. How quaint, very Indie. What kind of makes me wonder personally, is why they needed even more funding, from taxpayers even; when Anapurna could just throw money at them without problem. You’d think they wouldn’t take the grant and let the government use their share to fund another properly bootstrapped indie dev team with no wealthy backer that need it more… Every little bit helps I suppose.

@MissingAFew90 @Jonathan_Blow @ThePrimeagen It’s not even that painful if you have competent IT/admins
English
@Jonathan_Blow @ThePrimeagen Admins can unlock it though (yes its painful, but also people shouldnt be doing this)
English
@htmx_org @ThePrimeagen That doesn’t make any sense. An admin can quite easily unlock it. Did you host your server in-house with an in-house admin?
English
@ThePrimeagen i worked at a company that ground to a halt for a week because an engineer had locked a file in perforce and left on a vacation, and perforce support told us there was no way, even w/control of the perforce server, to unlock it

The #Littlecar channel on Youtube has done a great job of capturing the history of Microbee in a compact 18 minute presentation. Well worth a look along with the many, many other retro computer videos he has produced.

Been working on a SNES first person horror shooter for the last few months. Built from scratch in C and 65816 assembly. Running on real hardware (this clip is from a modified emulator). Here’s a short clip. #SNES #RetroFPS #IndieDev #Homebrew #Games

We just released the source code to our Neo Geo demo, Vaporous. It has some pretty handy stuff in it like our mame 68k debugger.
