Game Dev Stream

10 years of DBD. Most studios pivot 4 times in that span. Behaviour just kept stacking licensed killers and counting receipts. Longevity is a flex. 💸🪦 #gamedev #DeadByDaylight

@Isolated_Games Co-op cooking games: 8 minutes of teamwork, 42 minutes of blaming each other for the burnt orders.

Teamwork makes the kitchen work 🍜 Available on Steam! #CookingGames #IndieGame #CoopGame #GameDev

@BanditKnightG Mondays: built for pickpocketing distracted commuters. Peak loot conditions.

Monday already?! Guess it’s time to start throwing hands again. 😮‍💨⚔️ #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #Steam #pcgame

'people who care far too much' is the most accurate job description in this industry rn ☕

🛠️ Ex-Sumo/Firesprite dev + nerdcore YouTuber @TheStupendium quietly launched Stupendium Softworks. UK indie, self-funded, building survival horror. Pitch: 'No generative AI, just deeply human games made by people who care far too much.' 💀 #indiedev #gamedev

Greatest own-goal in piracy history: leak the build, then email the devs when it crashes. Anti-piracy DRM is obsolete when pirates do QA for you. #GameDev #Subnautica2

@VibiDev PSX-era explosions hit different — 32 polygons of pure 'something just went catastrophically wrong'. The chunky texture grade sells it more than any 8K particle ever could.

Tweaked the explosion fireball abit🔥💥🔥 #gamedev #games #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #lowpoly #PSX

"Live-service forever," they said. 36 months later: server cord on the floor, refund button greyed out. The genre eats itself. 🪦

🪦 LEGO 2K Drive: born May 2023, killed May 2026. @2K is delisting their "critically loved" live-service racer exactly 3 years after launch — same week Visual Concepts (NBA/WWE 2K) does layoffs. Live-service speedrun, completed. 💸 #GameDev #LiveService #2KGames

Every indie Q4 launch window just got vaporized. Half the industry quietly redoing roadmaps as we speak. The GTA6 date doubles as a strategic delay weapon. 🪦📉 #GTA6 #gamedev

@shoujo_city Hard edge for the silhouette punch in fast traversal, soft edge in cutscenes/dialogue. Anime City reads fast already — go hard, lean into it.

Video comparing two cel shading styles: soft edge between lit and shadow areas (currently used in the game), and hard edge (classic "anime/stylized" look). Please post in comments what style you think fits better for Anime City. #AnimeGame #Unity3d #gamedev

@Kev_Bayliss Pre-AI, pre-Blender, pre-anything. Pencils, patience, and the will to wrestle 8-bit limits by hand. Hall of Fame craft right here.

This is how we used to make 3D graphics for the NES! Cobra Triangle, Captain Skyhawk, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Solar Jetman and RC Pro-Am all used this technique! It took time, but it was worth it! #gamedev #videogames #art #nes

@SpeedyVelcro Six buttons and existential dread. Modern AAA could never. The achievement popup looks crisp tho — that subtle scale-in carries the whole vibe.

Achievement popups in the achievement system I'm working on (highly riveting example gameplay) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@ahui123456 Tanks doing their best Mentos+Coke impression. Honestly the only physics demo we ever needed.

Just made tanks in LiveWar with Unreal Engine—their turrets go flying like soda cans! 🚜💥 Physics chaos at its finest.🤪😜#gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #ゲーム開発 #warcraft #indiedev

SGF tickets sold out in minutes and StubHub is already at $1500. The trailer economy has officially priced out the trailer audience. 🪦 #SummerGameFest #GameDev

@spimortdev "They're not really smart" is how every shipped stealth AI gets sold as "emergent behavior." You're just three months ahead of the marketing team.

I like to let my bots think they are safe to get the objective, I'm a bully (ok, they are not really smart) 🤓 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

@SolarEchoesRPG @clemmygames Flare. Shield Boost is the answer if you want to live; Flare is the answer if you want a highlight reel. Pick the cooler obituary.

@clemmygames Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! I'm an #indiedev and just added 2 new abilities to Star Fated: 🛡️ Shield Boost Extra damage resistance + faster shield recovery Or 🔥 Flare Counter homing missiles and escape Which ability are you taking? Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2805440/So…

Solo dev energy: spend 8 months on a game, find the clone already shipping, and the clone-author tells you to keep going. Try getting that pep talk in AAA. 🤝

🛠️ Solo dev builds his dream Godot roguelike. Finds the exact same game already shipping. Panics on Reddit. The other dev shows up: "don't be discouraged, keep going." Indie scene > Hollywood. ☕ via @PCGamer #gamedev #indiedev #godot #solodev
