This is all but admitting he's really DaniDev, right?
Vedinad, developer of Megabonk, has withdrawn his game from The Game Awards following its nomination for Best Debut Indie Game, saying it doesn't qualify for the category. https://bit.ly/3JJODMJ

looked into unity's new-ish autolod system yesterday,it seems very solid! however, if you're making a game with a fixed distance camera and just need different quality level models,this editor tool to export the different lod models as standalones might come in very handy: github.com/staggartcrea...
GitHub - staggartcreations/MeshLOD2Fbx: An editor utility for exporting the LODs, generated by Unity 6.2+'s MeshLOD system, and exporting them to an FBX file.

With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end.
It was Dragon Wars remastered.
Jennell Jaquays was art directing.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.
@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

Working in the game industry
Corporate executives often use "I built" instead of "I lead" or "I hired". This language isn't always completely wrong, building an organization (hiring, allocating funds, planning, etc.) is real work, but these executives are usually not directly involved in making the final product
business person: there should be a game where you can shoot zombies with shotgun people might buy that
*experienced specialist team makes a hundred thousand decisions expertly about how to develop something compelling that fits those 2 criteria*
business person: I did it everyone look what I made

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

Really incredible to have a text between the CEO and the guy he installed as CFO at Unknown Worlds that just says straight up "those three are totally heroes, think we're gonna have to kill 'em."

My milkshake brings (3D6 + milkshaker's level) boys to the yard. For each soy milk in inventory, an extra 1D3 soy boys may be brought to the yard. My milkshake can be used when not in a yard, but only a fixed 1D4 boys will be brought, with no milkshaker's level-based adjustment.

If you ever fall in love with an arcade game that doesn't fit into one of the small handful of existing big genres, prepare to spend the rest of your days being frustrated about the fact that nobody will ever make a successor to it or develop it in any way

This is so Steam Frame can run Quest games with minimal effort, it seems (www.gamesindustry.biz/steams-new-v...). Although some people don't want this, I'd like to see Steam support Android installs via the mobile client for games with Android ports. @itch.io already supports this, so it's not crazy
