This industry used to be filled with cool game scouts that’d rock up to 22 y/o devs with a weird game at a show and hand them money. Now a boring man browses ‘most wishlisted’ pages and sends repetitive, increasingly passive aggressive emails.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

I've created a new Godot PR! This change adds a Fixed Resolution mode to SubViewportContainer to make it much easier to create low resolution games that handle input passthrough correctly. Want to create a PSX style game that runs at 320x240 with working UI input? 👀 github.com/godotengine/...

Add fixed resolution mode to `SubViewportContainer`. by EMBYRDEV · Pull Request #117104 · godotengine/godot

This adds a new mode to SubViewportContainer that allows the end user to specify a specific resolution rather than the existing behaviour of scaling based on native resolution. This is incredibly ...

Shower thought, but wouldn't AI in games be better used in comprehending what the player is trying to say? So imagine you ask the player a question and hand author 5 responses to different questions. You then task the AI with determining which question best fits what the player hand typed.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

You don’t need Kubernetes. You don’t need microservices. You don’t need 6 layers of abstraction. What most teams need is a monolith, basic CI, and a reminder that users don’t care about your infra.

You know that Unreal Engine is capable of Forward+ rendering with MSAA right? You can just do that. It's not an engine problem. Unreal isn't perfect but running dynamic deferred lighting and TAA is a choice. Sometimes a valid one.

Seeing a lot of gamedev advice about how to operate cheaply and seriously have you considered marrying someone who arts (or codes if you're the artist) I'm being 100% serious, left/right brain 2 person teams are hugely OP in micro indie terms "But we need a bigger team" have you considered Poly

Art Pipeline Epiphany: Bake the curvature map for a HotspotUV trimsheet and combine that with a triplanar shader that uses it for edge highlights and you end up with HotspotUV functionality for any tiling texture allowing for super fast variations.

One of my favourite lil #gamedev tricks is that if you iterate over your array backwards you can remove elements by swapping with the last element to avoid the need for a second loop or shifting of the array contents!
