An update on Transformers DLC: We have investigated the crash and concluded that the issue is related to a Minecraft custom camera bug. A work-around for this is in development and we hope to have everyone playing again shortly. Autbots will be rolling out again very soon! 🦾

"The real problem is the gulf between what players want, and what they think they want." summarizes SO MUCH about SO MUCH discourse about games. Gamedev is a collection of skillsets, like cooking, medicine, or physics. If you think of it as such, it immediately makes more sense.

We took a little break this week for the holidays but will return to doing the indie dev spotlight in the coming week.

Let’s talk about #gamedev burnout, especially in light of the holiday season. Work-life balance is easy to talk about but often not so easy to do, especially for #indie studios & even more so for solo devs. So what can you do realistically? 🧵 1/4

Great thread here. Work-life balance is important, possibly more so as an #indiegame dev because in small teams, everyone does multiple jobs. But burnt-out employees aren’t healthy for themselves, the studio, or the games. Even machines get worn down over time! Self-care is important. #gamedev

Sometimes trying to decide the direction of a game is the most difficult. Everyone on our team has such great ideas! But there’s only so much time & we have to keep scope realistic. Plus, we’re supporting our released content & working on updates. It can be tough to balance! #gamedev #indiedev

1103

Syclone Studios @syclonestudios.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

This is very true. It’s disappointing when things have to be cut or end up not being as planned, but it’s also important to get a game out the door. #indiedev #gamedev

When you’re an #indiegamedev it can be difficult to keep on top of updates to all the content because, well, there’s only so many hours in the day! 😅 But we try to get out as much as we can as fast as we can—much to the dismay of our sleep schedules sometimes. 😅
