My first post on Substack. Check it out. open.substack.com/pub/jame581/p/… #godot #tool #FOSS

Game devs don't get told this enough, so I'm saying it. You're doing an awesome job and I'm proud of you. Making a game is one of the most vulnerable things you can do. It's art, an extension of yourself and what you love, and showing that to the world takes guts. Keep going! ❤️

Well… I finally did it. I launched a Substack. If you enjoy dev notes, experiments, and behind‑the‑scenes chaos, hop in: jame581.substack.com

Hi indie devs, it's #ScreenshotSaturday - show me your games below! And a reminder that game dev isn't just "make a game." It's late nights, learning 20 jobs, fixing one thing breaking five, panic attacks, wondering if anyone will care. And still showing up anyway. Keep going ❤️

🚨 do you understand what just happened to Rocket League.. Epic Games just chose an 11-year-old soccer-car game - not Fortnite, not the new Witcher - to be the very first game on Unreal Engine 6. the engine that will power the next decade of AAA games was unveiled.. with Rocket League. → still runs on Unreal Engine 3 - the engine that launched in 2006 → skipped UE5 entirely → first UE6 game ever announced → no release date - likely 2028+ Psyonix just out-leveraged Rockstar without saying a word.
