@ReviewsPossum Finally a solid proof that time travel exists

@KrolMichal Matulo, co za staroć, pamiętam jak kiedyś grałem dorzucone na płycie do gazety growej😆

@IGN End of an era 🕯️

@twituje14 @sjanus_pl Jak uda nam się zaśmiecić cały kosmos, to i tak spore osiągnięcie jak na cywilizację żyjącą raptem na jednej planecie😅

@sjanus_pl ciekawe, że można uzyskać pozwolenie jednej organizacji, a zaśmiecić cały kosmos

Po fazie wyparcia szybko przeszliśmy do nowego wyścigu kosmicznego. SpaceX złożyło do FCC (amerykańska agencja nadzoru) wniosek o możliwość umieszczenia w kosmosie do 1.000.000 satelitów opisywanych jako "solar-powered orbital data centers". Starcloud, powiązany z nVidią, złożył wniosek do FCC o zgodę do 88.000 satelitów. Blue Origin, który jeszcze 2 tygodnie temu złożył protest do FCC w sprawie wniosku SpaceX, wczoraj złożył własny wniosek o konstelację do 51.600 satelitów. Czekamy jeszcze na Google, który planuje testować dwa prototypy w kosmosie w 2027. Chińskie ogłoszenie to też pewnie kwestia czasu.

@atypovvy Super gra, wiele godzin spędzone, a i tak najnowszego contentu nie ogrywałem. Będzie trzeba wrócić

Ta gra tak wciąga, że nie mam pytań xD Crimson póki co zagrożony 😬

@BrianMarti42502 @jogamedev Dunno how it works in your country, but in Poland it's definitely around 50% taken from Steam share + taxes as JO said, not even including the publisher share if you have one. Lots of divisions before the rest of the money gets to the developer 💀

@jogamedev you are not paying 50k in taxes dude

Here's an example of how much money a game dev actually pockets after earning $100,000 of Gross Revenue on Steam: - ~18% (returns, chargebacks, taxes) = $82,000 - 30% (Steam's platform cut) = $57,400 - 0% (if you self-publish) - 15.3% (U.S. Self Employment Tax) = $48,617 - $4,377 (Federal income tax) = $44,270 - ~$0-$3,800 (State income tax) = ~$40,400 So you could pocket about $40,000, but don't be discouraged. $100k gross sounds like a lot but it's only 5,000 copies sold at $20. This is attainable, but it's also why it's important to keep your development timeline short. x.com/jogamedev/stat… Disclaimer: This is a rough simplified example for a US solo dev self-publishing as a sole proprietor with minimal other expenses. Actual results vary a lot by your location, business structure, deductions, filing status, etc. This is not tax or financial advice — talk to a CPA.

@planetclarke @mattxiv @moneyymaya And even in bigger scale - in Roblox, even if I don't like it the player ratio between these two games😆

@mattxiv @moneyymaya The metaverse is on Fortnite now instead

remember a couple years ago when a bunch of billionaire morons convinced us this would be the future

@thomasbrushdev @TDeckverse I think he meant some players will prefer the 4k experience anyway, so some free testers that can help optimize the experience are always of great value 😁

@TDeckverse What

Should I default to 1080p for most players for Twisted Tower (allowing them to play at 4k if they want in the options)? The game runs buttery smooth at 1080p, and 2k. But some beta testers are playing it at 4k and they really shouldn't be. It's chugging for them but they don't know to reduce the resolution

@PawRze Dla mnie nadal lepsze, jak sobie lizną programowania i zrobią projekt do szuflady niż jakby mieli oglądać po raz 97 całość Friendsów 🙃 Część może nawet zachęci, żeby wejść w temat głębiej.

90% rzeczy robionych na #ClaudeCode czy #Codex jest bezwartościowe.... jest to zamiennik scrollowania instagrama czy binge watching Netflixa Nie będę wspominał o tworzeniu filmików, obrazków, stron, contentu i miliardzie innych rzeczy. Wszystko to nie ma żadnej wartości i zabiera tylko drogocenny czas. Między innymi na to firmy #AI przepalają miliardy $ a ludziom wydaje się, że tworzą coś wartościowego.

@soupsxup @mrcaleidon Lots of people do this mistake, we've created Paint by Cubes with similar results on Steam😆 Wishing for you to at least get back the 100$ investment and to go to a next cool project in an easier to market genre! ♥️

@mrcaleidon My initial goal was to make a game i like i put it out there, and i guess make the steam fee back ( done most of this and can hopefully squeez the last one out after launch ) we'll see about what I make next.

is this normal or just really sad? #indiegame #indie #indiedev #gamedev

@pablos_83 Popłynęli z tymi kosztami produkcji/marketingu, za co to 😵

@AlexisEnders999 @exQUIZitely Really liked it, borrowed it from a friend for a lot of years before finally giving it back😂

@exQUIZitely We got our Dune 3 and I played the shit out of it as a young adult.

Dune II (Westwood Studios) was released in 1992, and it cannot be overstated how much this game impacted, changed, and popularized RTS games. It felt like the floodgates opened after it paved the way for an entire genre. Yes, there were others before it, but in terms of depth, playability, graphics, cutscenes, three different (and playable) factions, and digitized speech, it was unbelievably awesome. I can only name a handful of games that captured me the way Dune II did - it was a rare gem. Controlling units individually feels tedious from today’s perspective, but it never bothered me back then. I guess you can’t miss what you don’t expect. Instead, I was totally hooked - not just on the game's concept, but also on how it was presented. For 1992, the graphics (for a strategy game) were impressive, the cutscenes had that Cinemaware quality, and the music and digitized speech added to the "I am right in the middle of this" vibe. Of course, I started with Atreides, but over time I - and probably you too - switched to the "dark side" and played Harkonnen and Ordos. The Harkonnen Devastator (epic name) was so badass. I know that Dune 2000 was released years later but I never felt it was a worthy sequel. A real Dune III would be a dream come true...

So far nothing, but Atari acquired the license to original Transport Tycoon to earn money from it sales (and maybe do something with the IP, but probably not?), Steam already adjusted licensing and at least there you'll now need to buy the old game, openTTD will probably be bundled with it (it is bundled, but the OpenTTD Steam page is down on my side). In general the community hopes they won't go for Open TTD and try to take it down in any way, but it still heavily relies on the Transport Tycoon looks, mechanics etc so we'll see how it goes.

@MStanki2 @exQUIZitely What happened to OpenTTD?

A glitch in the Matrix, all games after the year 2000 are wiped off the earth and you can only play one pre-2000 era game for the rest of your life. Which do you pick? I'd go with Civilization (1991).

@llc_ifc @exQUIZitely Really hoping Atari won't mess with this one, especially with OpenTTD after the recent news ☠️

@exQUIZitely Come on, where is TTD? At least Open TTD exists

@sflaux @exQUIZitely Yup, I've played the community verson recently and the multi unit selection really improves the experience 😆

@MStanki2 @exQUIZitely Banger but you had to clic on each unit to attack ^^

@RoninSC2 @exQUIZitely I think Dune 2000 was the only RTS I played on a playstation 😁

@MStanki2 @exQUIZitely This and Dune 2000 took a large portion of my childhood.

@leekemp @exQUIZitely Yup, I'd say it was the first real "RTS". Before there was for example Herzog Zwei, but Dune 2 was the one that polished the general concept and defined gameplay that would be expanded on in lots of future RTS games

@MStanki2 @exQUIZitely Did this invent the entire genre?

@caseyyano I really try to enter each Steam Fest with a mindset to test like at least 20-30 demos from the genre I like playing and creating. So many fresh and new ideas from other devs one can learn from! 💙

People who make video games should play video games! We were so busy during launch week, I only played 46 hours of games in the last two weeks :(. Well, this excludes Smash.

@J_Lee_Design Wouldn't say UE is more user-friendly or has more tutorials/docs. They're really great in Unity as well. But indeed the built-in rendering options and stuff like lighting quality are way worse in Unity, recently they even confirmed that they stopped trying and moved 100% to URP

Unreal is more user-friendly and more out of the box access to features, more documentation, more guides, more tutorials, larger user base, easier to “code” in, easier to do…pretty much anything really…
