I'm making a tactics game inspired by Pokémon and Into the Breach! Push, reflect, predict and chain your attacks, solo or online. An early version is free on itch (in browser!). Let me know if you try it out 😁 Link in replies ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #gamedev #Pokemon

@AeornFlippout Agreed, and honestly this is also a failure on Steam's part. When you click the developer and it takes you to the publisher, that's a terrible user experience.

(Steam page soon!)

@mattdesl I think most Netflix games so far are iOS/Android apps only.

Released with Netflix which I assume means "will work in the browser"—if that is the case, this could be a pretty significant step forward for web games.

@stephen_last Specifics: - Currently they don't look ahead past the current action phase. - Player 2 AI first runs planning from P1 perspective and randomly picks a strong plan (weighted by utility). Then assumes P1 will do that and picks its own plan accordingly.

@stephen_last Right now they are pretty strong but far from unbeatable. I want to push a bit further (maybe into unbeatable territory) then add parameters to scale them back and give them different playstyles.

Watching the AI play against itself. A very satisfying moment in development!

@NoumenonGames Stunning!

Surprise! My debut indie game "Pin Puck" is OUT NOW on Steam! 🎊🎉 Master the controls of your oddly shaped Pin to claim victory over your enemies. Quick reactions, stealthy steals and precision flicks are a must if you want to outscore your opponents in the field.

Sneaky: "the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024" means 2023 LTS. Anyone whose project was already on 2023.1 prior to the changes is forced to agree to the new pricing if they want the long term support they were expecting. That 2019 blog post seemed to promise otherwise.

After 6 years, with a vast majority of the time being fully booked, we're finally breaking ground for expanding Spelkollektivet. We're happy to announce that we're coming to Stockholm, or more specifically, Rotebro in Sollentuna. ~4000 m² facilities dedicated to game development in the form of co-living and co-working. To get there, we're launching this new location in 6 initial phases, since we're an independant organization that without government funding or external investors. Launching it in stages allows for us to ease into all the costs that comes with running this type of machine, as well as purchase all the furniture and decoration needed to make it feel right. In case this is the first time you hear about Spelkollektivet; we're a not-for-profit community-driven co-living incubator. The vision of Spelkollektivet is to build creative spaces for indie game developers which transcends borders. Places where a person can spend a weekend or an entire lifetime, with the intent of fulfilling their dreams of making games, memories and friends. For more information, and to apply, check out: spelkollektivet.com/locations/stoc…

I made the character controls for this speedy Goblin. Give it a play, and try leaping off walls onto the heroes' heads!

@torahhorse @TrentKusters Loved this episode!!

talking to @TrentKusters unearthed a deep memory that Virtual Pinball inspired me to become a level designer
