Was trying to find someone to make a logo for my game via Fiverr or Upwork, but it's all just AI generated... Anyone got any recommendations for someone? Looking to get a logo for my Mahjong game and would prefer a real person :D (paid)

While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

2025 had it's fair shares of ups and downs. Some highlights: - Successful Kickstarter campaign for Wicked Fox Games - Launched an indie game on Steam for Plutonium Powered - Got to help out in a small capacity for Wonderstorm's Kickstarter campaign - GF visited, traveled a lot together

Can't believe Geoff Keighley let Octopath Traveler 2 be nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards for the third year in a row.

Steam Controller: Awesome, I'll take 2 Steam Machine: I would be more interested if I hadn't already built a Bazzite htpc. But it's still neat Steam Frame: Too bad I'm not big on VR because this seems like it rocks

So GDC pass structures changed but it's overall more expensive? The cheapest option was $299 in 2024 and $249 in 2025, now the cheapest option is $449 if you're an indie studio and even then those are limited with asterisks? Otherwise it's $649 at the cheapest...

new GDC pass types.
Festival ($649)
Game Changer ($1499)
Early Stage Indie & Startup ($449)
Digital ($799)

Refusing to stop using the Xbox 360 controller as long as I can on PC. The newer Xbox controllers cramp my hands and was never comfortable with the PlayStation ones either. Today replaced that awful stock d-pad with this 3d printed solution and much better already :)

At this point in the job search I'm trying to shift priority to finding work outside of games, but the problem is I have spent my entire life raised around the games industry and everything else doesn't make sense to me 🫠 How to even start looking?

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

August shaping up to be such a good month for new music for me. New Chance the Rapper is actually good and new Joey Valence & Brae is awesome. Laufey and Sabrina Carpenter later this month too 👀

I bought a little digital audio player! turns out "mp3 player" is outdated terminology. Trying to get away from my phone + using Spotify in general so this is neat

Fantastic Four was alright enough, but Pedro Pascal didn't feel like a good Reed Richards. He just felt like Pedro Pascal lol
