Hi new followers, guess it's time for a new intro post. I’m David, been working as indiedev ~15 years, made a few games, I like coding my own frameworks in SDL/C++. More "recently" I've been doing contract work using Unity/GM2 etc for consoles, so been vverry slowly working on my own new game.

Portugal pls!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 1d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

Little Nightmares III this week, cautiously optimistic, the first 2 games are pretty good so it's easy to expect at least same level, but different studio, and seems like it focus more on co-op for full potential from what I read (and I'll be playing SP). fingers crossed

Battle: Lost Angeles is one of those movies that never managed to live up to it's excellent trailer. not my all time fav trailer but a damn good one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pd-...

started listening to some podcasts during my dawn walks, and was just hearing one about the gigantic increment of SMS spam being also related to outdated/exploitable software in routers, IOT in houses, traffic and security cameras with SMS slots for connectivity. bottom line, it's a mess.

nah that one I I only discovered it after Quake 3, so I guess I played HL ~2000. HL2 however got it at launch, been a Steam user since when they only had Codename: Gordon and counter strike listed

I made a tool that lets you find the treasure in your computer.

It's called Windows Explorer 2

Ah, I wonder if that’s why I don’t like the ones you mentioned and liked this one, more turn based.

David Amador @djlink.bsky.social · 2d

Interesting, is that because it’s only considered when they can move? Like patrols? Genuinely curious as I don’t usually play the genre

David Amador @djlink.bsky.social · 3d

The puzzles are stealth related imo

David Amador @djlink.bsky.social · 3d

As someone who doesn’t like stealth games, Camouflage (UFO 50) is the best stealth game I ever played. To the point where I want to explore this genre more, both playing and maybe exploring those gamedev mechanics myself.

We need a new Street Fighter!!

David Amador @djlink.bsky.social · 3d

Just want to bring everyone’s attention that in 2026 we are getting a new Silent Hill movie, Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat movies. All in same year!

Dear Nintendo lawyers, do your thing, you have my blessing!

Al Sam Altman and the Sora copyright gamble: 'l hope Nintendo doesn't sue us'

on such case it would be easier for nintendo to firmware patch the loophole than all the games.

The whole chat control thing in Europe is very concerning. Privacy wise it’s a nightmare; people making the laws as usual, have 0 understanding of the ramifications.
