@KenneyNL Jesse Schell's The Art of Game Design. It is a really good entry point into game design - but I think the opening of the book is just great general advice about game dev that'll help understand what sort of area you'd be interested in

If someone came up to you and say they'd be interested in learning about #gamedev, what resource would you point them to?

We're so back. Finally something visual to see after 6 long months in the architecture trenches of pure code. Performance, clean code, it has the new car smell

After 6 months of refactoring - My library once again alive! 3 years working on this baby, and I'm seeing the end in sight. It's been so much fun, and I've learnt so much

@ywomendeservles I work 12 hours a week on Minimum UK wage (~$15) - if I had to care for others I'd have to work 40 hours a week, or push myself to work in an office again for higher pay - being single is so chill. I make enough to support myself - I don't need or want more

@KenneyNL @willeastcott Maybe The Witness? At the end when there are real photos that can be moved around - I guess different technique could of been used, but they were really well done

@willeastcott I've been convinced, supersplats are awesome and my go-to thing when I want to wow people with tech. Do you know if any game used them yet?

Is this the future of the family photo? 📸 #playcanvas #supersplat

A whole new world! I've managed to flesh out the starting area a lot. Still picking if I picked the right colours. #ComfyJam #gamedev #love2d

Cookie the Hedgehog is starting to feel the love! 🧲 Added a quick scaling animation and a magnetic pull to collectables for that satisfying 'pop' before pickup. Placeholder cubes for now, but the loop is starting to emerge! 🍪 #ComfyJam #gamedev #love2d

I found myself in another game jam, #ComfyJam, and I've made some solid progress, a lot of it is back end code. Turning out well. youtu.be/s0loEjgDFaM

@yogscast @PickaxePodcasts Looking forward to Pitch Please! I'm surprised by all the gamedev sounding ones, might have to peek at them all

And here is your schedule for Pickaxe Week 2025, streaming live next week on Yogscast channels! Get ready for some fab @PickaxePodcasts to grace your screens (and ears) nonstop! 👂

@discord Why does there need to be a setting when you can just escape the colon character to achieve the same thing, \:)

reminder that you can turn this setting off 🙂

@yolwoocle_ That is actually hilarious

This is by far the weirdest bug report I have ever gotten in my years making indie games.

I have the full gameplay loop in now! Just need to spend the next 24 hours putting in content! youtu.be/kufRglWhvII #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

Much progress has happened, and I'm nearing getting the full loop in! youtu.be/SqIXzww0m0Y #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

Who knew you could write an animation system from scratch in *checks notes* 2 days! 😅 youtu.be/UaSUuYpHIYk #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

After a painstaking amount of time of data entry and number tweaking. An actual character is in! 🎉🥳🎉 youtu.be/a5R9rcVZHq8 #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

Not as exciting, but I got animations defined by file; so they can be tweaked too. Nothing is hardcoded so far. I've also been working on the dialogue system today youtu.be/ENVG1iN2lEQ #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

A new day, a new jam. I've already got a Character dancing around youtu.be/ogpqHG70ZGE?si… #SolarpunkJam #love2d #gamedev #programming #gamejam

@KenneyNL @KayLousberg Out of interest, will it be the free bits or will the "extra" bits be included? Even if it's only for the Deluxe version.

The upcoming update for Asset Forge will also add support for @KayLousberg Bits! kenney.nl/tools/asset-fo… kaylousberg.com/game-assets #gamedev #gameassets
