I have noticed a lot of gamedevs (including myself) eager to jump into "kids these days actually hate f2p/roblox shit" but it's almost always gamedev kids - their friends are mostly playing f2p mobile games on their phones and fortnite/roblox if they console. 291

Reposted by Ruben S.Mr. Lucha, father of 🦆 🐈 🐕 , indie dev 🎮 @luchalutra.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I often have very inquisitive deep dives on a variety of things in terms of identity, who I am, who I strive to be, what I consist of, what all this "being" is, and a good portion of that was questioning if I was even really a man, and I am as cis as the world is round. TL;DR: Not my experience. 171
Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 27/06/2026I have an obsession with 19th century maritime history. The best game ever made is The Return of the Obra Dinn. 010

Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 24/06/2026Doing a game jam is certainly interesting. I’ve realised that UI, modelling, all of these things that I’ve come to dislike over the years really aren’t that bad. It reminds me of what things were like at the very start of my career. I might change up how I work on my proper games. 010

Reposted by Ruben S.David Walters @hiddenasbestos.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Well that's the main reason I'm making this raytracer - to be part of making this older style more accessible again. Phong shaded ray tracers sorta got replaced by newer PBR path tracers and we lost something with that IMHO. It's not impossible to do today - but I hope to make it an easier option. 011

Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 15/06/2026After four straight days of optimising I've finally gotten a consistent 180 or so FPS on my laptop and 1000+ on my desktop. Nothing feels nicer than looking back and realised all of the work you've put in has led somewhere. The laptop was originally struggling to hit 30! #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity 1113
Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 14/06/2026I had to change some aspects of my artstyle, but it doubled my FPS, hopefully meaning I won't have to worry about optimisation for the rest of the project. Sometimes you have to consider whether that super expensive feature that's 'key to your artstyle' is actually key and if it's worth keeping. 000
Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 14/06/2026Went from 317 to 513 FPS on my 4070 Super over the past 4 days of optimising.. but my mate with a 1060 / i7-8700 hovers around 90-120. What do gamers expect performance-wise from a game like this? Anyone have any tips? I’d love for them to consistently get 120. #GameDev #Unity #IndieGame 370

Now you e.g. want to add a bone to it. Orientation mess. Surprised there isn't tooling to e.g. temporarily reorient bones - or simply change the display orientation? 2132

Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 12/06/2026The downside of optimising a game is eventually you’re done with it and you wonder what else you could possibly do to optimise further if the need arises. 100
Ruben S. @atomicagegames.co.uk · 11/06/2026You can optimise your Unity game by a ridiculous amount (in the early stages) just by opening the Frame Debugger, looking at every discrete step, and asking yourself ‘What is that doing and do I even need it?’ 162
