Hullo! Get ready for summer! We can stealth around the backroom or partake in the Star Wars event up front, otherwise let's see what everyone's been up to, or will be up to!

Do you have a game release to post-mortem, a cool technique, or an interesting development anecdote to share?
We finally have a form for folks interested in speaking at BGD events!
Fill this guy out and we'll try to find an appropriate venue for you: forms.gle/6hrc4L85ckyD...
'save scumming' oh you mean responsible version control for gameplay I'm sorry I didn't realize making incremental backup states to restore as needed was a bad thing smh
A clicker where you make clickers to click clickers #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev
Finished up this little endless runner a few weeks ago and never shared it! Game is free to play on web! stumpheadgames.itch.io/lava-larry #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev
dialog box says Adobe premiere pro. the project appears to be damaged and cannot be opened. there's just an ok button.
when I opened the 8 hour event video this morning I've been working on for a week made up of 213 GB of data
but I had a full recent backup so lost nothing because this isn't my first rodeo
reminder to frequently backup any WIP if it matters and isn't something you can just redownload or reinstall
@smithcollege.bsky.social is also having an awesome writer come speak.
#gamedev, #gamewriting,
Smith College is having a Game Jam!
Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.
Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf.

Some work on my rappeller. It lets the user attach themselves to the ship and rappel down into the clouds. Right now you can place it and interact with it, where it will then move your character into the rappelling position.
The Global Game Jam is concluding on Sunday afternoon of the 1st; come celebrate at the Quarters with us! Bring your game if you made one, or don't, or bring something else, or bring a friend!
As long as you don't leave yourself at home, you'll be there when you arrive.
