These new "deck verified" landing pages on the steam store look pretty neato! The big embedded trailer gives a good sense of scale too.

Thanks @steampowered.com 💜

Go take a look:

hello again #gamedev I'm back wondering about your favourite game development tutorials. anything that sparked your interest, inspired you, or made you feel equipped, I'd love to see it.

As we're making documentation for @luxeengine.com it's fun to read about what people like or don't!

The Halloween asset kit will come to the Unity asset store soon - with more assets and better quality! 🎃

But fear not, friends, I updated all of the plants in the free version as well! The shrubs are more fluffy + you'll get 3 more shrub variants in a pretty orange color! #gameassets #indiegamedev

Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

Thanks all for sharing your wonderful creations, the positive vibes have been absolutely overwhelming on #MakeRoom! Today I'll be working on the first update, fixing a few issues and adding new content - because honestly, I'd feel bad releasing an update without something new!

Hyped for @kenney.nl's release later today. Imagine hand-crafting over 1000 objects, that's nuts! 🥜

The game is already wildly popular on steam, but I bet a few of you haven't seen it yet so give it a look if you're into creative games. :)
Get inspired by unique design requests, then design your own spaces exactly how you want in MakeRoom, out tomorrow! Build rooms, gardens, and camper vans with 1,000+ objects and the ability to create your own custom furniture.

Real talk - If you want to support the development of my Ridge racer style game "Rival Racer", you should buy Vaporwave Pinball in the steam sale today.

It's also in a bundle with @lithiumproject.bsky.social AXYZ, so you can support this next game too

If your knee-jerk reaction to artists despairing over massive lay-offs and the further erosion of entire creative industries is anything but solidarity with the artists, rethink everything.

Hadn't updated Rider for a while, so not sure how new this is, but that's a nice QoL shortcut

forgot to update this after testing apparently.... so this elite enemy had 1 QUADRILLION hitpoints and I'm wondering "why doesn't the health bar update when I hit it?"

I blame the heat 🫠

Game Informer is back with new reviews on the website and a physical magazine returning later this year.

It was purchased by Gunzilla Games but will operate as a separate independent entity.

The best part is that everyone who GameStop laid off last summer is back now. Incredible!

So, visiting my family was not possible because of health issues, unfortunately, so I continued to work on the forest asset kit. You can download it now on itch!

You can download it for free, but if you could support me and my work, I would greatly appreciate it💚
