PSA for anyone in the UK looking for games work: Make it very clear you're in the UK! Applications have just opened for some government funding, and the grant money can only be spent on UK-based employees/freelancers. Get hired by a UK indie and have your rate covered by the government!

What I have frequently heard programmers say over the years: (1996) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2006) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2016) "Lines of Code added" is a terrible metric (2026) I have to use AI because it's the only way to meet my company's "Lines of Code added" quota

Esmeralda in a an orange and black knight themed hoodie with grill visor on the hood. She's holding a coffee. To her right is Audrey in a beanie, purple and black scarf, and black coat. She's wearing some mala beads and holding a coffee, too.

Sketches of Rhea, a goblin. She has a screw bit on her forehead, concealing one eye, and has a prosthetic right arm. She wields a very lorge axe.

One of the subtler positives to Godot's structure is that the low level servers are accessible and pretty well documented. Sometimes you have a sicko idea and need to get your hands dirty, and Godot just lets you do it!

I'm quite pleased with how well Gun-Dog has done in the winter sale. As a small #indiedev, money == time, and every day makes a difference.

Let’s take back control from the almighty algorithm… We choose every game by hand, playing them first and backing what deserves attention Sometimes that means big names. More often it means the smallest, strangest, most niche projects you’ve never heard of All chosen by real humans who care!

A friend is venting to me about some indie person saying more indies should make games "for mainstream appeal and success" and it's just so funny because not even the big rich companies designed to make things for mainstream appeal and success can barely do it ike come on man

During development, it's very important to have your priorities straight.

well I'm glad you've got an escape at least! and that the escape is having such a clear positive impact on others too. I'll keep rooting for your recovery. Burnout is the worst.

lite @litemechanist.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

I discovered you from a post about your struggle with burnout. Your block game looks neat, though I'm mostly happy to see your enthusiasm for it. Seems like the burnout has lost the fight. More art is more good, so it's a win for us all, and encouraging to see.
