New small update to Stacksquatch! The colliders are a bit better, which is a big deal for a physics game! #solodev #indiedev #gamedev Check it: store.steampowered.com/app/937090/S... This is probably the last bit I'll do for #SteamVR. I need to bring the #MetaQuest version up to speed pretty badly.

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

Hot tip for small content creators, especially on #Twitch: 🚨Have a business/personal email in your bio🚨 I'm trying to give away free games that'd be a perfect fit for these adorable little channels and I have no way to contact them. I don't even require a review, just somewhere to put them.

What's your favorite #VR streamer or content creator? It's a niche category so it's tough to find the diamonds in the rough. I feel like things have been getting better over time though...

Happy #screenshotsaturday, y'all. Everyone tells new devs to start learning by cloning games like Pong. My advice: don't stop at Pong. However long you've been at it, recreating games or mechanics you like (or don't like) helps you understand the hows and whys better than just playing.

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

I've seen memes twice this week about how AI can't make art because you have to suffer to make art. AI art is bullshit but so is the idea that art requires suffering. Make art. Big things, small things. Tell the world or your friends or no one. You don't need to hurt to do great art.
