As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st.

SMALL GAME GANG LET'S GOOO.

Just need beautiful art 😭

Hahaha. The original goal was one month right?

The irony of how much AI has to learn

Daniel @vennnot.bsky.social · Aug 13

What about the dev story made u take the leap?

Daniel @vennnot.bsky.social · Aug 13

It's also that the chores and progressions are clear unlike real life.

Before that satisfaction could come from taking those steps outside video games; nowadays things are more turbulent so that nice loop became effective in games.

There's no escape. I must get back to working.

Do you work in GDscript or C#?

Daniel @vennnot.bsky.social · Aug 12

I also started snake casing node names. Changing this in project settings also helped a lot. My code is all over the place, but consistency is a huge load off my mind and it just allows me to work faster

Thursday gonna be 35+ in northern europe. Climate change do be changing things

Daniel @vennnot.bsky.social · Aug 11

Oh nice!

I think my codebase, since I'm solo, follows the "makes sense to me" format.

The formatter PR will be a godsend though!

More:

- They unknowingly infringe a super obscure copyright
- They're forced to switch engines due to Unity shenanigans
- The gang tries to develop an engine in-house
- Focus groups can't decide if the game is good or trash
- They get doxxed by a random fan who wants the game released

Daniel @vennnot.bsky.social · Aug 8

More ideas:

- They secure funding from a VC but have to add Web3 and AI
- First game sells nothing but a chinese copy the next week gets 1,000,000 sales
- Remote employee they hired was actually working for 25 companies at the same time
- They get sued by a patent troll

Emi @coppolaemilio.com · Aug 8

Episode ideas:
- Pilot episode: They get laid off from AAA studio
- Someone clones their unreleased game for mobile
- Nintendo sends them a cease and desist
- A publisher promises them money but they get ghosted
- They fail a kickstarter
- An almost identical game comes out before days befre release
