discovered a cool #dotbigbang HACK! there's no fullbright in the engine but TEXT isn't lit or affected by fog so you can make doom/quake style lights, buttons, red eyes this way! In the gif the red lights are "------" gotta love using tools in ways they weren't designed for!=)

Want to make a classic style arcade game? I've a stack of streams of me making them in #GameMakerStudio2, from the latest remake of Frogger, to old Spectrum games like JetPac, or C64 games like Boulder Dash. #GameInADay remakes - make it fast and fun. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLโ€ฆ

Platform revenue doughnut for my #indiedev year 2021! While the total was very close to 2020, income from Steam and consoles pretty much dried out and mobile was joined by a few percent from IAPs. Web still going strong & stable thanks to @Poki. #gamedevpaidme

It has been quite a big effort of prototyping, documenting, arguing and planning... but finally, the PR is here :). Finger crossed, but I think you'll be able to await on many things in Unity 2023.x :)

To all the new devs who follow me: If you see this sort of thing, you fucking RUN from it like it's on fire and you owe it money.

We made a video to invite disappointed Unity users to try Godot: youtu.be/JKmpGI1gsYg It may or may not be for you, but it's worth trying Godot now, especially version 4.0, currently in development. It's a small download, no install required, free and open-source forever.

Wait what, Unity is merging with the company best known for its malware delivery system, so popular that it has its own entries in VirusTotal, was blacklisted on Windows by MS, and was used to spread fake flash installers through the Equifax site?! What??

I thought at first that this view of Las Vegas was a simple skybox. But it's more complexe than that: it's a collection of flat objects like a movie set, and buildings are deformed to create a forced perspective. Cars, trees and fountains are also made with simple flat objects.

I asked a few scammers how they find and target game developers to request free game keys. I came up with a couple very simple tricks to 100% catch all of them and auto-flag them as scam. (thread)

Spent time writing up this wholeass reply to someone so I thought I'd post it here since I feel like sometimes people don't consider this: You can absolutely put a lot of time into an experimental concept, but it's a gamble even if you're financially stable.
