[1/2] As a programmer that is in desperate need ov a job, I found this video pretty interesting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQgA... The part that resonates with me the most is the part about seniority not being something that can protect you — if even senior developers are…

Is it just me or does the little indicator ov how much time has passed, listed next to Claude's chain-ov-thought, move faster than expected? If it's not measuring actual time, what does it measure? (CPU time?)

Smaller Games: indie games have less filler and fit better into your busy schedule Worse Graphics: indie games have lower requirements, they run great on whatever you have and you don't need an expensive gaming rig or new console to enjoy them

@theindieden.bsky.social removed my post in r/indiegames because – despite going by "Indie Games" – they are "not an indie dev subreddit". I thought that sub-Reddit was a place I could post game footage to get people hyped – like this other person, whose post is fine – but I was mistaken.

A message for my fans in Latin America. (plain text is in the image alt-text if you need it for translation.)

Recently, Fangamer asked me to make a post in Japanese regarding the translation of OFF.
Well...in the responses to that post, I noticed some frustration from Latin American fans. Let
me address a few of those issues now.

1. There is an officially licensed UNDERTALE concert series that unfortunately has no shows
planned in Latin America. I did retweet its schedule on request, but I have hardly any
involvement with the concert series and no input on where they perform. But, the organizers have heard the enthusiasm from Latin America, and I personally think it would be great to
have performances there. I hope it works out!

2. Fangamer’s shipping costs to Latin America are prohibitively expensive. As just one of
Fangamer’s clients, I am aware of this problem and I’ve asked them about possible solutions
before. I think it would be amazing if they could find affordable shipping to Latin America (and
other affected regions), but they have expressed that it’s a huge logistical hurdle. The other
shipping methods they’ve tried had a lost package rate of over 50%…

Still, I think Fangamer is interested in finding solutions, so I hope that we can figure out some way to get affordable merch to Latin American fans. Fangamer is very easy to work with and
truly passionate about the things they make. I really trust them and would prefer to collaborate
exclusively with them on merch.

3. Unfortunately, there are no translations for UNDERTALE into other languages besides
Japanese. That includes Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, but also every other language –
Chinese, Korean, Russian, French, German, Italian, and more.

I know it sucks that there are no other official translations for UNDERTALE. But I want to
make it clear that this isn’t because I have a grudge against other countries. It’s because, if I
release something official, I want it to match my vision. I was only able to do this for the
Japanese version because I know Japanese myself, and I worked very closely with our
brilliant translator to thoroughly check the text. I am not against official translations for other languages if we could make it work the same way… In the past I have looked into various options with my publisher, 8-4, but nothing has come of that yet. Maybe I should try a different approach.

I’m very happy that there are unofficial translations on PC. Considering I don’t understand
other languages, letting fans interpret the game without the burden of being “officially” perfect is amazingly helpful.

As for DELTARUNE, it’s just not feasible from a development standpoint to support other
languages right now, since it would make the game take longer to come out...
---
I’m honored to have many fans across the world, and of course that means Latin America too.
I don’t want anyone to feel left out. I’m sorry if my silence made me seem like I was ignoring
anyone.

You can help prevent this by normalizing WebGL builds of game demos. Browser sandboxing goes a long way to protect against malware. Also, make sure your emails are using 2FA. It makes them harder to break into, and it makes them easier to recover after they are compromised.

Everybody in #gamedev needs to know about the "playtest my game" phishing scam. They got me a couple years ago. They got a big indie dev a month ago. They got a friend last week. Don't run fishy executables, even from people you know IRL. Accounts can be compromised and it spreads like a plague.
