Might be a hot take but I don't think ray tracing is always worth it.

I genuinely feel like my calling in life was to be a helpful video store clerk and I was simply born too late for that to happen.

Is a good place to start.

Not to ment anyone else who is also following in thier shoes.

Gamers, it's time to take back the industry.

Start talking with YOUR MONEY.
Stop buying shit until they fix the formula.

I have like a hundred or more games in the backlog at this point, I'd assume you do as well.

Stop buying. Just stop buying. When the shit sits on the shelf, they panic.

It's a cold and dreary day on this ancient island. The winds of a frigid sea rip over a castle that stands stalwart against the briny gale. There isn't a living soul inside for it to protect, but it holds fast.

#ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #GameDev #Unity3d #Unity #IVOR #BoomerShooter

The sun barely pierces through thick fog, casting harsh shadows over a ruined cobblestone path.

Gravemarkers sits precariously at the edge of a cliff. A large castle wall with green banners shadows the area.

A mixture of cobbled stones, Versailles tiles, and harsh, angular metal create a rectangular room. Skulls sit in a columbarium in the corner, illuminated by a bright torch.

The dingy insides of a castle. Some wooden platforms sit overhead, and strange purple crystals can be seen behind a portcullis.

I followed the development of that game as a kid. I thought it was cool, but I thought I couldn't beat it cuz I just sucked.

Brandon @acidicarisato.bsky.social · Mar 18

Any idea what it is? I'll be there this year, and I'd like to keep an eye out for it
