How do gamedevs name a game?! It seems impossible.

When did Playmobil characters become totally badass? Cyberpunk fashion with pink hair and prosthetics? I like that the laser sight can be removed from the pistol. When I grew up Playmobil characters were total dorks.

Shout out to my first 3D version of Rana from about 20 years ago, long before she appeared in Minecraft.

it’s so great and normal that Steam is randomly censoring games like this for no reason, at the same time as they’re blasting “HENTAI VS FURRY FEST” banners all over the front page, which takes you straight to full-frontal nudity in one click

a banner proclaiming it to be Hentai Vs Furry Festival 2026, with some very busty ladies, lizards, and foxes glaring competitioningly at each other from the sides of the screen

Fellow indies devs, how many of you have an intentional preproduction process? I recently started tech tests for a new game after several weeks of designing exclusively on pen & paper. I usually recommend against working this way but it’s going nicely.

@gameonysus.bsky.social @patrickklepek.bsky.social playing and enjoying Angel Essence, thanks for your recommendation on the Remap pod!! I wanted to recommend you check out Castle on the Coast. It has some highly permissive wall jumping and strong ‘PS2 dive bar’ energy.

Best explanation I've got is Godot isn't drowning in generational noise. Unreal has layers of conflicting tooling, and there's always a Correct Way of doing something that is theoretically more efficient, but only when done in the big studio way, so you bend your OWN processes in a knot to suit etc

Yes this is true! This is also why experienced developers and mixed background teams are valuable on projects. An ideal team can pull from all sorts of projects.

One of my favourite moments when designing games is solving a new problem with parts from an abandoned project. It feels like cheating. I’m stealing ideas from myself!!

I think about this all the time!! What’s the subset of my art which is appealing, sustainable, and not undermined by AI dross. Generally it’s the wonky stuff because noone wonks as hard as otherwise intentional humans.

i recently saw someone post this new browser (browser.horse) and it's made me think for the past few days about how comfortable we are with keeping usability trends FROM THE 90s, despite now being far more knowledgeable about individual needs and use cases. artefacts are still one-size-fits-some

This looks great!! I love making UX layer tools to make a fiddly tool fun to use and easy to tweak. When a level art tool is annoying to use there’s simply too much friction to change game content.

Please help! I need to repost this. Sony refuse to recover my stolen PSN account (despite 2FA). I’ve lost 19 years of purchases. They won’t help unless I provide the serial number from a old PS3 which broke in 2009. Are there any journalists interested in this story? Anyone can contact Sony?

Speaking as a dev on the other end, it’s always frustrating when a game is sent to a demo event and the recorded feedback from players is sparse. Ideally I want gameplay footage with microphone, but definitely a lot of notes!!!

Cancelled creative projects never vanish from the mind of people that worked on them. I am haunted by dozens of games that only I can see.

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

Sony won’t restore my stolen 19 year old PlayStation account and purchases, because their support system is literally broken. I probably won’t play games on PlayStation platforms ever again. This sucks.

Someone has stolen my Playstation account and all my purchases, and Sony support won’t help me unless I can provide them with a serial number from 19 years ago.

Text reading ‘Serial number of the first console used to create or first log into your account.’
