There comes a point in every solo indie developer's life where he starts to treat the person that wrote the code 2 years ago with the suspicion usually reserved for OTHER people: How much do I trust 2024 Chris? #gamedev #indiedev #prot

Yeah there is. ATM I decided not to do that, but may change mind!

Also in my slightly Autodesk are pains and Blender is amazing rant: when have you seen this: the most recent version is SMALLER. So effing cool #blender #gamedev #indiedev

PROT by Chris @gingercrabgames.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

It's cool the way Autodesk won't let me run my discontinued MayaLT any more. But it still kindly leaves about 8 things running in my task manager, and all this crap installed! #autodesk #blender3d

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful! While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!
