It's not the number of titles you wear that defines you—it's the hours you grind with your team, the late-night problem solving, and the shared wins. Ego fades. Impact lasts. 🛠️🤝 #Teamwork #Leadership #gamedevelopment

Just spent hours wandering through Elwynn Forest, fishing in Stranglethorn, and getting wiped in Deadmines… and I loved every minute of it. Classic WoW isn’t just a game—it’s a time machine. 🧙‍♂️⚔️ #WoWClassic #GamingNostalgia

Do players really care if a game uses asset packs if it plays great? 🎮💡
If it saves devs time & money ⏳💰—is that lazy or just smart?

Stop overthinking your game idea 🎮🧠❌ Just go make shit 💥🛠️ Break it, fix it, learn from it 🔁 That’s how the best games are born 👾✨

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

It blows my mind how some ‘content creators’ will jump into drama with barely a third of the facts—just to churn out a 10-minute video of them whining.

Everyone learns in different ways. I like to lean on my peers for guidance while finding courses to help guide me. Always seeking knowledge is okay but making sure you understand and can use it is more important imo.

I think that’s a good plan. A lot of cheap ways to pick up courses, I always check humble bundle.

Monday morning: ☕ The coffee’s strong, 💻 the code is messy, and 📜 the to-do list somehow grew over the weekend. Time to get back in the zone—let’s make some games! 🎮✨ #IndieGameDev #GameDevMonday

Indie game devs pick their engine like choosing a weapon in an RPG—Unity for versatility, Unreal for power, Godot for open-source love, custom engines for the brave. No wrong choices, just different adventures. ⚔️🎮 Which one do you choose? #IndieGameDev #GameEngines

One of the hardest parts of working at an indie game studio? 🎮 Getting to build something really cool… and not being able to talk about it because of NDAs 🤐 The struggle is real, but trust me—it’s gonna be worth the wait! 🔥✨ #IndieGameDev #NDAProblems

It’s a little bit of both for me

Indie devs! 🎮 When you play other indie games, do you find yourself breaking them down—analyzing mechanics, design choices, and code? 🛠️ Or can you just sit back and enjoy the experience? 🤔 Let’s talk dev brain vs. player brain! #IndieDev #GameDev #GamedevLife
