WHEN #BLOODLINES2 WON ME OVER: I won over everyone in dialogue and Fabien comments on it when you go to bed on your Second Night. And I had the option to say, "Yeah, I'm just manipulating everyone. I don't really give a shit." And Fabien was like, "Duh, you're a Toreador." @outstar.bsky.social

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck. Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be! There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇 #gamedev

So Unity recently decided that the tiny startup I dayjob for needed to upgrade to Industry at 5k/year/seat. We had no chance to contest it because they would have killed our only product. They even threatened people we worked with in the past with the same. It's not just us. DO NOT USE UNITY!

imo if you want to actually finish a game you should use a pre-built engine like godot. making assets and implementing all the specific stuff takes long enough as it is, this is coming from someone who wrote multiple engines from scratch before finally agreeing to use godot instead

One day I plan out the next two months of stuff on my game, trying to estimate it conservatively. Then I check off half the list in a couple of days. Something's wrong with my brain lol #gamedev

I'm reaching the part of the #gamedev cycle where I can start infusing my game with some designs and make it come alive. I'm excited. I want to start showing the game more, but I don't want to show off a bunch of placeholder assets! 🙄 The systems are fun though:

my best #indiedev advice is to *always* tinker on something that excites you, even just a little it's easy to pressure yourself to finish X thing first, turning it into a job. you need to make progress, but something excites you for a reason - listen to that. real ones know progress comes with fun

PierSF @piersf.com · 10/03/2025

how to #gamedev 1. find edge case 2. it breaks your idea 3. rethink & refactor 4. "wow can't believe i've solved this for good now" 5. repeat cycle

Wow, they copied what I was doing in my #ai sideproject a month ago, lol Different method of implementation but exactly the same idea I'll say it again, all you need is structure, noise, and legos :) arstechnica.com/ai/2025/02/n...

I don't *really* know what my game is going to be yet, even with all the notes & early work I've put into it, and that's a great thing! The goal is to make something new, that changes as I change... something worth the time it takes to make it. #gamedev

Thinking about when I demoed To a T in December. I turned to Keita Takahashi and said that I love that he's so committed to making oddball games that go off the beaten path and asked what draws him to that philosophy. He looked at me very sadly and said "I was trying to make a normal one this time."
