Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.

PSA to indie devs: PLEASE make demos of your game, especially on steam. it doesnt have to be high effort, just include the first few levels, or the first day of the story, or whatever small excerpt. the goal is to make me fall in love with your vision. your wishlist conversion rates will […]

Oh. Good. moving cloud shadows over the game. That's... not good for motion sickness. It's 2026, I'm begging #gamedev folks to please realise that motion sickness is a thing you can acquire as you get old, and screen shake, moving backgrounds, etc are going to make you unable to play your own […]

I'm working on a minigame for our game! I need to figure out how to implement game pieces that move when you click on them next, but I'm not sure if I should use CDDs or somehow change ImageButton coordinates (is that even possible???) #Renpy #VNDev #GameDev #IndieDev

A prototype of the "Game of Ur" minigame with red and green fields, a button to roll dice ans the number of available game pieces per player. On top the current player is stated and at the bottom the available moves.

@ultrawipf gave me the hint to use wine. It is now working as auto-release whenever I create a new tag 🙌 (Too bad it only took like one week and almost 30 commits) Testing is still running forever though. Probably because of the GUI.

Most of Computer Space is glued together now! I've decided that I really don't like the cut 3D model. Yes, the seams are placed more or less strategically, but some pieces seem to be scaled wrong. And there is this corner in the front just missing […] [Original post on peoplemaking.games]

A 3D printed and glued together part of the computer space arcade cabinet. The top is still missing. Some pieces are clamped or taped together at the moment. One small (in comparison) corner in the front is missing.
Angry yellow post-it stating that it is fragile. (I had someone knock of the layer that goes on next before)
A tiny model of the cabinet is standing in the background.

I've made some significant progress yesterday! However, I've discovered that a) one piece is missing b) I don't trust superglue c) the individual layers slightly warped while curing d) I really would have loved registration marks or holes for pegs etc. #RetroGaming #HiScoreHannover […]

I've spend my evening yesterday with renewing the pads of our Arm Champs II at HiScore. Now they are finally back close to the original color. It was interesting to see hiw many times they have already been fixed over the years (at least 4 times according […] [Original post on peoplemaking.games]

Before: mismatched colors and materials for the three pads (beige for the elbow, dark green for the hands). This was two weeks ago, in the meantime the elbow pad was not only sheddings, but ripped and spillings its filling that looked like kitchen towels.

After: all the pads are now in red pleather (which is the color seen ingame) and the elbow pad received new cushoning.
