I took a week off #gamedev to spend time with wife and kiddo over Easter school holidays.
I'm now trying to figure out what was wrong with me a week ago. I'm looking at some of the stuff i have done very confused as to why.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler.

Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later.

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

#gamedev is where you don't touch any software all day, but instead spend it on emails and documentation, right?

Today my #gamedev adventure was fiddling with my player controller and trying to get Motion Matching to work better, after 8 hours, I have made 0 difference to anything and successfully gave myself a headache.

I have been working on a new Project with the placeholder Title: British Museum The Heist, BMTH. having some friends do some playtests, feedback was I thought this was something to do with Bring Me The Horizon. did not see that until now. really need to come up with a better title.

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵!

Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games!

Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!
Welcome to the Bluesky artist orientation 🧵!

This will get you started on the basics of how this network works, how to connect with other artists, and how to get your art seen.

If you’re a furry, I also highly recommend checking out @buttplug.engineer's furry orientation thread below:
Welcome to qDot’s “So you’re a furry that just joined bsky” 🧵

A guide to other posts on the network and servers furries should know because I’m sick of repeating myself

First up, @kamu.bsky.social ’s Furry Roll-call thread. Comment to let others know you’re here.

Well that tiktok ban lasted longer than some Aussie prime ministers
January 19, 2025 at 9:54 PM
It perplexes me that the TikTok ban is even a thing. the hubris of the US to think it can dictate ownership of private enterprise, that a foreign entity would kowtow to their whims of Sinophobia masquerading as concerns for the user data. is bafflingly sad and funny all at once.

Things I wish all modern games had at launch:

📸 Photo mode

⏸️ Being able to pause cutscenes

💾 AUTOSAVE

🎮 Remapping controls and buttons

🪖 Adjustable difficulty for each aspect of the gameplay

These just make games better in my opinion 🔥

This year I am making a promise to myself to actually invest time into creating a social media presence for myself and current project.

I'm very happy Astrobot won GOTY. I was worried that DLC was going to win and a shit precedent would be set.

The sudden rise of pearl clutching and fear mongering about a wave of right wing chud agitators invading, is really dumb and annoying to see, follow a couple block lists, block and report any harassers and set your account so log out visibility is off, really not difficult.

This is a really good read, highly recommend
"What do I see in our future now? I see pitchforks." Excellent read from the first Amazon investor.
