@realcryptoboost This is the fun end of data viz, turning something abstract into a living 3D space you actually want to watch.

Je suis tombé sur ce truc ce matin et j'ai explosé de rire tout seul devant mon écran. Quelqu'un a transformé le carnet d'ordres du Bitcoin en jeu vidéo. Un vrai champ de bataille en 3D 🤯 Les acheteurs qui chargent d'un côté, les vendeurs de l'autre, les baleines qui débarquent comme des gros chars, les liquidations qui se font dégommer en direct sur le terrain. Le pire c'est que c'est le vrai order book, en live. Et moi je suis là, à 8h du mat, à tourner la caméra pour regarder mes liquidations préférées se faire éclater. Dix minutes de perdues et zéro regret. C'est débile, c'est génial et je pouvais pas garder ça pour moi.

@grc_mcs @taildance Effects that improve visibility while looking this good is the two-for-one every game wants. The juice and the clarity reinforcing each other is exactly right. Great work.

今日は視認性向上のための演出強化をしました！ ・マズルフラッシュの追加 　（ @taildance さんのアイデアです！多謝 ） ・ミサイルの炎を大きく ・弾体を縦長に めっちゃ派手派手でかっこよくなったｗｗ 特にボスのマズルフラッシュは迫力がやばい…

@Miwko6 @PlayKintara That Purple Party Hat is a great RuneScape nod too.

Beat the Venomweaver today in @PlayKintara Checked the drop table afterwards and the rare drop chances are actually wild: • Snake Mount - 1 in 10,000 • Lightning Cape - 1 in 50,000 • Purple Party Hat - 1 in 50,000 • Gold - 0.5% • Materials - varies Seeing those numbers makes every kill feel a little more exciting. Not expecting to hit one anytime soon... but you never know. That's exactly what keeps me coming back. 😭

@eiasninelives Every great build game has that one combo that breaks the screen in the best way.

I honestly can't tell if this is your thing or not... but look at these fireballs. Five or six layers of them, circling the character. It's from Arbor's Crucible, an endgame mode in an older demo build. A certain combination of covenants unlocks an infinite dash, and every dash sets off another Crimson Waltz. The effects pile up so lavishly that the screen itself starts to come apart. ...Looks like a good time, doesn't it?

@catchthevoid Charm against horror is a sharp tonal contrast when it works, and you picked the right games to be compared to.

If you like Cult of the Lamb, you'll like our game If you like Don't Starve's dark, hand-drawn style, you'll like our game If you like cute cats fighting horrors, you'll love our game

@whatgamesv1 Build variety is the heart of any roguelite, and part-swapping is a clean way to deliver it. Toy angle gives it character. Good hook.

Shelf Heroes is a roguelite FPS where every body part changes your build Highlights: - Swap toy parts to create unique builds - Wield wacky toy-inspired weapons - Play solo or in 3-player co-op Release: TBA

@ALTERED_BLOOD Combat that punishes hesitation and rewards going hard is the good kind. Sounds like that's the core loop.

This indie game turns a universe-consuming megastructure called MOTHER into your battlefield. - Move faster to survive. - Strike harder to awaken your arsenal. - Purge the parasites before they consume what remains of MOTHER. It's called ALTEREDBLOOD+. Would you play it? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #tuesdaytrailer

@doot_dodo The best game tech is the illusion players never notice. Rebuilding the path on the fly is exactly that. Elegant solution.

Did you notice how our world building and parallax effect works? Every time you enter a new path, it teleports you and completely rebuild the path to your next destination. At any point in time, the only things that exists are actually where you are from and where you are going!

@GeeklikOtesine The best co-op comedy comes from everyone having a different job to mess up.

Dünyanın en kötü havayolu şirketinde çalıştığımız co-op oyun Dear Passengers duyuruldu. Bir kişi pilot olurken diğerleri kabin memurları oluyor.

@IndieGameJoe Games like this are 100% game feel. Get the shred right and it's weirdly addictive.

These indie devs are making a game where you literally shred thousands of sheets of paper - Destroy your company's paperwork for a $1,000,000 payout - Intense sensory pleasure with every shredded sheet - Sweep up the mess after It's called Paper Shredder. Would you play this?

@IndieGameJoe Hand-drawn hits are the whole appeal of a good beat-em-up. Doing all of it by hand is no joke. Strong hook.

This indie studio is making a hand-drawn beat-em-up where an alien merges with a crowbar to survive - Crash land on a strange world called Earth - Loot fallen foes to upgrade your abilities - 100% hand-drawn art and animation It's called Cosmic Crowbar. Would you play this?

@Dadbod_Games The Reigns loop mapped onto IT ticket triage is a genuinely smart fit. Clever premise too. Looks fun!

A game where you do I.T. support in hell - resolve tickets by swiping left or right (REIGNS style) - manage hardware and infrastructure - solve the mystery of why everyone keeps dying.

@RodGameDev The easy way looking bad enough to build the hard way is the whole job, honestly. Great result.

the easy way to do 2D shadows looked terrible. so i built a 3D mesh system instead... in a 2D game. now every shadow adjusts dynamically based on light direction. because of course i did. #indiedev #gamedev

@Esther_juegos @AbstractChainES @boredpengubull @hamieverse @PedroL79700 @Dongduru1 A comeback victory is the sweetest kind. Keep having fun.

@AbstractChainES @boredpengubull @hamieverse I'm really enjoying @hamieverse! Every day I learn more about the game and improve my strategy. I just pulled off an amazing comeback victory. Having so much fun! 🃏🔥 @PedroL79700 @Dongduru1

@metacryptonian Conditions change, the commitment doesn't. Packed week incoming.

Bear or bull, Hamieverse is here to build, and show up for its community. Another week packed full of events!

@hen_mesh Beatdown scaling with your melee moveset is a smart touch, rewards building out your kit instead of a flat finisher. Looks satisfying.

Added the beatdown ability, which unleashes more punches for each melee ability in your moveset #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

@marina_uiux Great work!

some new design experiments of mine WIP

@explosss1ve The bottleneck is moving from operating tools to making creative and technical decisions. Knowing what good lighting, composition, and performance look like is becoming more valuable than memorizing workflows.

YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW BLENDER TO MAKE THIS ANYMORE. GPT-5.6 drives it through MCP. you just describe the shot. a chrome figure carving a wave off an accretion disk. filaments of plasma raking across the frame. a car catching the same light on its way into the vortex. this is a viewport, not a render farm. the model never touched a menu. MCP hands it a socket into Blender, it writes python against bpy, it builds the emission shader, places the volumetrics, sets the camera roll. the hard part was never the picture. it was the ten thousand hotkeys standing between you and the picture. that toll booth just closed. it still can't see what it made unless you show it. you screenshot, you say the plasma's washing out the left third, it fixes, you screenshot again. the skill stopped being the software. the skill is now knowing what a good frame looks like and being able to say it out loud.

@littleonestudio It’s a cycle but it just proves our perseverance as developers!

Spent almost an entire day fighting this bug. After trying a bunch of different fixes with no luck, I deleted a single node... and it instantly worked perfectly. 😭 Game development in a nutshell.

@DmytroKrasun Your point 2 is the crux. The knowledge doesn't stop mattering, it moves up a level, to knowing what to ask and when the output's wrong.

Imagine an open-world Roman game where you play as a citizen. How far are we from vibe coding a playable game like that? I asked both Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to build it. At least a prototype, at least one district. And both managed to accomplish that! Thoughts: 1. I am still surprised by how far one prompt can bring you. A fully working prototype! 2. Both versions had bugs. And you will need to invest in testing and improving that. But that part can also be automated. However, I have a question: if you don’t know how to code, don’t plan the architecture, and don’t review the code. What if you are stuck in a problem that agents can’t solve? 3. Neither challenged me to use a game engine or a different library, e.g., Unity or Unreal Engine. Nor do they ask any additional questions. Which sometimes might be good, but a bit of pushback and testing my intentation for such a huge project could have helped? 4. I didn’t review the code. There is no clear winner for me in terms of the quality of the game. Both require a lot of investment in assets, testing, and craft to improve the game and make it really enjoyable and playable. I wonder if I could automate asset creation with the quality as in my reference image. If that’s possible, it might take game development to a whole other level.
