Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Hey #indie #gamedevs, what do people think about open source (non-profit) projects in this era? I have a unique concept for a Bronze Age RPG I've been working on, but know it isn't feasible for a solo project or tiny team without funding. Are open source community projects even still feasible? 🤔 101

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Hot #indie #gamedev take: if you want to stand out, stop forcing yourself to blend in. For example you want to make a fantasy ARPG, forget medieval Europe, all those stories have been told ten thousand times, look to the Bronze Age, forgotten civilizations, there are new stories waiting to be told. 1123

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 11/07/2025My latest Apply DBuffer decal method in #UE5. Put a lot of effort into this one experimenting with different ways to blend, but with just a few changes to the default function this is easy to achieve. Textures are very low res and use breakup noise or SDF sharpening. Grunge mask/normal from Quixel. 030
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Biggest issue using #Godot so far is no Vertex Painting tool is functional (links in reply). VPainter is broken in 4.4, there are errors and it breaks other unrelated editor functionality. I may try to fork and fix, anyone know of a better solutions? #indie #gamedev 271
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I'm considering porting my Untitled Mars Game from UE5 to #Godot. 🤔 I understand the tradeoffs, UE5 has been amazing, no problem with Epic, but the desire to explore the wild open source frontier is tempting. This was made in a week, tree from a friend, optimized megascans, all shaders from scratch. 3110
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Posted by @deanhall.bsky.social on reddit, anyone using #Unity needs to take a serious look at what is going on.

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 07/01/2025It is incredible how morally bankrupt the tech industry is. The latest trends in AI are mostly catch phrases without meaning or purpose, but don't think for a second they don't intend to take all our jobs. And we're expected to be... excited about it? 020
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Quixel Megascans, the ubiquitous enemy of the texture pool. Slay this beast with in editor texture packing!

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 30/12/2024It is nice to see more experienced graphics programmers adopting #Godot. I've stayed away in large part because even as an experienced technical artist it can be quiet limiting, and I'm simply much faster in any other engine. Next year I have a small scale concept that might be perfect for Godot. 080
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 27/12/2024Why the hell are most games so similar? There is so much untapped potential, especially in story telling, existing cultures and historical settings for inspiration. Yet, looking at the industry you would think players like buying the same clones over and over. I know why, and am very against it. 540

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 26/12/2024There is a lot of missinformation going around regarding one of UE5's flagship features, Nanite. Gamers and even devs either think it is a silver bullet, or causing poor performance, a problem I think Epic have made worse by statements like (to paraphrase) "Nanite should be used on everything". 181

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Not as pretty, but it resents about a major breakthrough for me #UE5 PCG. Using raycast to find the exact river bank, then sorting and splitting the points into new splines, then spawning spline meshes, with ease in/out and a lot of other tricks. Who needs Houdini?! 😄 #Indie #GameDev #UnrealEngine 2173

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 20/12/2024If you're a game dev and you aren't playing games, you'll quickly become out of touch, there is no excuse.

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I think I'm starting to see the bot follows... 🤪 Wonderful. 020
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 17/12/2024😔 There's a belief that game engines and rendering techniques are to blame for poor optimization recently, that's partially true, or that devs are more lazy, which is certainly mostly false. While the bigger issues are that scope and scale have ballooned and software requirements exceed hardware. 250
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 16/12/2024I really want to make a tiny game in #Godot, I have experience in nearly a dozen engines, yet every time I try, something feels off. As a tech artist, it is partly the forward renderer, but I think it has more to do with the open source nature of it, the conventions are just off. Anyone else? 240
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 15/12/2024The toxicity surrounding female protagonists in video games is completely out of control and disappointing.

Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 12/12/2024My best advice to anyone getting into #gamedev is to find people to work with, especially if you ever want to work in the industry. E.g. you're a #3dartist, struggling to make a portfolio, stop making art for yourself, find an #indie team, volunteer, learn to take feedback and deliver on time. 🚀 052
Uriah @uriahgnu.bsky.social · 11/12/2024An important message for all #GameDevs. Feedback is your most important asset! Knowing how to receieve and implement feedback is a skill we all need to improve. We don't need to defend out design decisions, as not all feedback is good. Often we just need to know how to listen. 061
