Interesting... Unity is removing Intel MacOS editor from 6.7 and built-in renderer is deprecated in 6.5. Big things happening on the Unity side. #gamedev

Solved the DLSS issue plaguing my Unity project for the last few years… now, I’m getting > 60fps in 4K 🎮🛠️

Working on code today, but here’s something from earlier... Some of the stealth gameplay of walking a hostage around to ideally, perhaps a dark corner for interrogation... 🛠️🎮 #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

Was just about to offer a spare GPU I had to another game developer, since they may have needed some extra hardware help and they... blocked me 🤷‍♂️🛠️ Ahhhh bluesky... 😅 #indiegame #gamedev

Started on melee combat coding today. Trying to get the balance feel in the mechanic somewhere between Last of Us & Uncharted 4. I think the tough part is going to be the head-to-wall and head-to-desk smashes. 🤔 #indiegamedev #gamedev

Me to my game devs: You need to rest. You need to have downtime and work-life balance. You need to set boundaries for yourself and be a human outside work. My brain: Not you, though. Me: Oh, God, of course not me. Haha. Can you imagine?

Don't listen to them. #gamedev #MondayMotivation "You can't make that alone." "Indie games means it looks like sh*t" "Unity isn't made for games like that" "Making a game is too hard." "Just get a normal job." "Leaving Twitter with 40k followers for 500 on Bluesky was dumb." "Give up."

Sometimes I look through the code of my game and go holy crap I was smart for a minute there. How did I figure THAT out? Other times uh, yeah, not so much.

I like this idea too. I would love to drop a finished game and be done with it. But also I have so much more I want to add that won't make it in the base game that I could add as dlc. Also it's a card game so it will be really easy to build upon after the core of the game is there.

People like to pretend in indie game dev that some areas of the project are more creative than others, but EVERY area requires creativity. Obviously art/writing/music are creative, but so is coding. Marketing has to be creative, and so does community management. You have to be creative everywhere.

One of the biggest indie game dev problems I have is when I am debugging and see a wonky looking interaction and stop the game to look into what happened. And then it turns out the game did it correctly and my interpretation of the game logic was just wrong. Or I forgot something and it didn't.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

Everyone once in a while some younger person will be like “Does anyone remember game X?” like it was some obscure back catalogue title, and it will be a formative, genre defining hit that people my age spent hundreds of hours playing

I see a lot of indie game devs talking about how much they enjoy playing their own game and like, I'm jealous. All I can think of is every little tiny thing that I could fix or improve or need to work on. Maybe it's just because I'm not done yet, but I can't see myself playing for enjoyment much.

Kiwicoder's series on NPCs is great, but mesh socket rigging was horrible. Creates static issues w/ spine rot., weapon alignment, raycasting & hand pos. I did it years ago & had to rip it out from 70+ state machine agents. Use FinalIK/AimIK instead. #unity #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c-r...

#unitytip #gamedev Need to configure your characters in Editor in a particular pose? You can do so in OnValidate so you without having to click in the Animator window, select a clip, scrub the timeline for the right frame.

I like when I share someone on here and then suddenly they get noticed by people following me. Takes very little to help others and you can all do it by just hitting share on posts you actually like.

No dev or artist gets a chance to be seen or show what they have been working on without others sharing posts. It makes a difference and can lead to them finding work, selling prints and getting wish listed for games and it’s not much but it’s better then doing nothing and dose support them.

Dear gamedevs: Don't know who among you need to hear this today, but it still comes up in various discords, subreddits, even here. So allow me this space to once again reiterate: No, it's not "cheating" to use assets you paid for. They exist to be used. Use them.

Unity 6.2 beta is out. The very long awaited MeshLOD is in it... something Unity has promised for the last 5 years 😮 But, no virtualized-geometry, unified renderer, or the rumored new RTGI "Lumen-like" lighting system. 😔 #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d discussions.unity.com/t/unity-6-2-...

Unity 6.2 Beta is now available

Hi everyone, We’re excited to announce the first Unity 6.2 beta release, with a continued focus on Engine stability and performance, and invite you to try the new features we’ve rolled out. Your feed...

Rigidbodies can be expensive to use in Unity, but for some use cases, you can cheat. An example is the jiggle of equipment on a character's back as they run. Use GameObjectRecorder to record the transforms to anim clips, remove Rb's then use animator to replay as needed. #indiegamedev #unitytips

Unity tip: Use Invoke or InvokeRepeating instead of coding multiple timer loops with bool’s. Pro Tip: You can increment enum variables making 3-way toggles much easier: fooEnum++; #gamedev #unitytips
