@Jonathan_Blow Most of the bad in today's industry is due to studios focus shifting from "how do we make the best game so people buy it" to "how do we make the most addictive game and extract the most from the player". Until enough players refuse to let themselves be exploited we can't go back.

Peak video game industry was probably around 2012. Is it possible to ever get back there?

@SlowRushDev Amazing tech. Missed naming opportunity - The sands of time

So my #noita -like is 100% deterministic (for multiplayer netcode) Hacked up time travel as a debug tool: so awesome being able to replay backwards w/ full debug info and explore alternative timelines! how about a "rewind 5 secs when you die" perk #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Super Exciting Announcement: #Steam page for my #noita-inspired multiplayer falling sand game is now LIVE at store.steampowered.com/app/3816900/Si… Trailer: slowrush.dev/signs-trailer 2 years making an engine - now the real work begins :) #fallingsand #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev

@apralky Individual cogsec. This needs more focus

it's incredible that Nietzsche was shilling anti-slop cogsec back in the 19th century

@pictoriavark Building a steam back log that you couldn't play in 5 lifetimes fits pretty well...

hey does anyone know what's supposed to go in the gaping void??? i've tried art and music and friendship and regular career and artistic career and romance and drinking but they don't quite fit

Enough with Ghibli. Let's do The Far Side.

@steamcharts Where was this chart generated? Let's see where this trend is now?

There is definitely a trend here: Indies vs AAA

@GameDevDylanW Congrats! Been waiting for this. Time to jump back in.

Rift Wizard 2 is out of early access: store.steampowered.com/news/app/20585…

@unormal @unitygames What version of the engine did you guys start and finish with?

@unitygames 🙏🙏🙏

⭐Big congrats to @unormal and the rest of the Caves of Qud team on their 1.0 release after 14 years of development! 🚀👏Check out more amazing December 2024 releases #madewithunity: bit.ly/4ajOiZH

@DearS_o_n End goal is an illusion. Men are designed to strive, not arrive.

@smgstudio Wow, Santa has really upped his game.

Merry FXmas to all Aussie game devs

All things are difficult before they are easy... except game dev

@IndieLauraSDG This gives me breath of fresh perspective on my chosen craft.

The task of a game designer in a nutshell: "If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and take as many people with us as possible."

You left out a word: Haven't played yet

>Steam users have spent $19 Billion on games they have never played

@oliver_joyce Side view - game Dev is hard enough. Don't make it harder than it needs to be.

In the latest Lair of the Leviathan RPG dev log, we need your help! Which view do you prefer, top down or side view? youtube.com/watch?v=5Irl4-… #gameDev #indiegames

Damn, @realGeorgeHotz adding weight to my fears

Just discovered @bitmap_books. If they keep putting out books, my wife will never have to wonder what to get me for Christmas ever again.

@cptnsigh Gravity Parry! Games are still ripe for inovation. Love it.

An extreme example of Gravity Parry a new feature I'm working on for the next patch Falling off a map has never been more satisfying #ScreenshotSaturday #ShadyKnight

@pixeljamgames @datassette Nope. I just saw the use of the word fantasy console and assumed it would be a publicily available product, similar to Pico8. Or is V99 just going to remain an inhouse engine?

@chris_suffern @datassette DO you mean easy access to beta test the games?

The bootscreen for a new engine / fantasy console I've been working on with @pixeljamgames , first couple of games to be made with it coming very soon...
