Devs keep losing their livelyhood right after their games launch. I keep wondering why we don't just stop buying games at launch. If publishers knew we'd wait until the devs were actually kept on, maybe we'd have some say in how disposable the devs are treated.

Dropbox has been emailing me every month for the last 2 years, that my files take 2000% more space and will be deleted unless I re-subscribe. I have done nothing The files are still there I think I accidentally discovered a new free tier no one knows about.

Made a rhythm game for #GMTKJam with @tapes.club @stefanevrard.bsky.social You conduct an unruly animal orchestra with your mouse while buying upgrades with your keyboard. If you miss a beat, they will get angry... Play 3 tracks and drop your high score: baybora.itch.io/meowstro #gamedev #gmtk

Games are art. Art changes us. We want a game that stops a billionaire mid-stride. It reaches their soul, holds them still, and they give everything away to mend what's broken. That is the game we want. #gamedev

Question for fellow devs: Most of my wishlists are from English-speaking countries, with a smaller but noticeable number coming from Russia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, and France. Would you prioritize adding more now, or put that time and budget into marketing and localize after? #gamedev #indiedev

Trying to make this game alongside an incredibly demanding full-time job is just exhausting. I'm also a father to a 5 year old, and I feel guilty for not putting the energy I put into the game into things for him instead. The constant maintenance of averting burnout is just too much sometimes 1/2

I'm going to hold a lecture about procedural music and also modular synthesis in Umeå VCV Rack is very nifty and I'm using it to solve all my audio utility needs. Like this patch for example. It takes an input signal, and segments it and writes the segments into multiple wav files based on volume

A patch in VCV Rack. Lots of modules connected together with virtual cables

Doesn't surprise me, really. There's very little social capital to be gained from sharing genAI. Everyone knows how you did it, & that they could do it too, so no one's praised/followed on social media for it. Its like uploading a "How to make yummy burgers!" vid, & the recipe is "Order from BK."

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary. We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff. Skill issue.
