Indies, I need you to know that when someone says they can look past a game's in development lack of polish and envision what a game will be like when it's done, they are unintentionally LYING. Even I fool myself into thinking this is the case each game. It's rarely true.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

I went to see Nu Genea in Napoli. The concert was a lot of fun. Since I know they tour around Europe, I'd really recommend going if they're playing close by!

Just found a tool for project management for games, and everything – EVERY-THING – from their logo to the website text to the UI of the tool itself screams AI-generated. And it made me sad.

An image of the MacOS app switcher overlay. In it, several icons can be seen: Rider, Fork (highlighted), and 5 icons for the Unity Editor. Of these, four of them look the same, as a square with rounded corners; while the 3rd one is shaped like an hexagon.

If we could ask a quick favour of any Yarn Spinner user, it would be for those who have purchased YS+ to leave a review. Less than 1% of purchases have left a review. Y'all game devs know how much reviews make a difference, and tools are no different. Help us stand out among AI-coded slop 🙏

Woke up to this very disheartening review on my tool. As far as I can tell, this user never reached out to mention what issues they might have been having 😐
A text review for the Unity tool BlackBox, with 1 star. The text says: 
"Paid updates, i cant wait for the new "version 3"
It was broken in version 1, was waiting for it to become more stable with updates, I'm not going to pay extra to version 2.”

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

One of the most rewarding art challenges we took on in The Mermaid Mask was to make all the clues fully 3D. @catherineunger.bsky.social would paint the 2D image as always, and then @kindradantone.bsky.social modelled and painted a 3D model to match it exactly - and the results were quite incredible-

Quite happy with the reception for BlackBox 2 so far. It's currently sitting at position 21 in the Utilities category when ordered by Popularity (out of 3800 assets!). So not too bad. (and I just noticed, it's #7 when ordered by Relevance – how did that even work??)

I disagree. (Mat disabled replies, so I have to quote-reply) Serving games through subscription IS a bad idea when those games could have been sold individually. I always thought so, and now we're living the epilogue of that prediction.
