Hey folks, for Trans Day of Visibility I am going to do another Indie #ShowCasey! 💙💗🤍💗💙

Are you a trans gamedev? Reply below with your game, tell us a little about it, and make sure to include a link to the store page. Everyone else? Signal boost some neat games!

One rule: No GenAI!

Screenshot of Google having been asked "is blender easy", responds by saying "Blender has a steep learning curve and is generally considered difficult for beginners due to its complex interface and vast" before suddenly breaking off mid sentence and spouting off an incredibly long sequence of numbers

.... I see.

Congrats!!

MISSION UPDATE!

We're joining the ranks of the hottest pixel jockeys at Fireshine Games! These are the aces behind the publishing of Core Keeper, Denshattack, Far Far West - and now, AEROMACHINA! So excited to finally be able to say so 🥳🎊

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant.

All of this can and should change.

indie game dev is a small club. and we all talk. about you. we all love you so much but we're scared to tell you

Started reworking the fishing mechanic in my, uh, fishing game.
I liked how it looked/felt, but the actual math was...
a) ...too opaque for the player to intuit
b) ...too complex to actually balance

Under the hood it won't be less complex, but hopefully more predictable (to both, me and the player)

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

Over 50% in under two days, thank you to everybody who has backed it so far!

That's rough, but happy to hear the installation worked, after all—hopefully the CPU isn't going to give you too much more trouble

You're more than welcome to!

Aw man, sorry to hear

Screenshot of an email reading: "Hi there, We’re updating how GitHub uses data to improve AI-powered coding tools. From April 24 onward, your interactions with GitHub Copilot—including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—may be used to train and enhance AI models unless you opt out."

Screenshot of an e-mail reading: "Please review your settings and choose whether your interactions with Copilot can be leveraged for training AI models before this update goes into effect on April 24. To opt out or adjust your settings: - Go to GitHub Account Settings - Select Copilot - Choose whether to allow your data to be used for AI model training"

Heads up on this switch, if you didn't read the email they sent out: GitHub is now requiring an explicit opt-out on using everything you feed Copilot to train its broader AI, instead of it being opt-in.

Opt-out instructions are in the second image (and its alt text) below. Fuckin' GitHub. *sigh*

[KT's ConTours] - NordicFuzzCon REVIEW & Travel Guide YouTube video by KTqtpi

I have released my NordicFuzzCon review video! 🇸🇪
youtu.be/EHMNpl1iLYg?...

This is my first time making a video like this, I hope you will enjoy! :D

Fuck layoffs.
Stupid fucking industry.

"Times are tough" how about *you* foot the bill with your billions of dollars instead of making your employees take the fall every time, mr CEO sir?

I've told countless project leads "being volunteer work/pro bono is not a dealbreaker, it just means you may have less applicants than if it was paid."

PASSION and PERSONAL ATTACHMENT factor in as well! I have *absolutely* auditioned for/taken on gigs that I KNEW were unpaid, just bc it looked fun!

Your options for placeholders:

- Make them yourself (difficult, takes time)

- Slop (monthly sub, kills the planet, enriches oligarchs, bad assets, everyone hates you and they're right)

- Incredibly made game assets by @kenney.nl ($19.95, one-time, supports give-aways to those who can't afford it)

Added some very rough block-out models to my hub level, just to have something there, already—I like how it already gives a bit of an idea of the place!

(I want to concentrate more on mechanics, again, so chances are there'll be more untextured models and placeholders, in the near future, heh.)

I would like to sell these at the artist alley at #Eurofurence this year - they are convention/fursuit badge holders that I designed and 3D printed. I am just wondering how many it would make sense to bring with me.

Too Many F*cking Nazis - Official Announcement Trailer YouTube video by Halftone Gaming

We can officially drop the trailer. Our new game, Too Many F*cking Nazis is a throwback to some of the classics of the boomer shooter genre

I finally got to go somewhere warm!
#ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #gaming

Put a lot more work into UI/UX things, this month:
Reworked menu management, gamepad/keyboard navigation, dynamic input hints, etc...
Stuff that isn't particularly exciting, but still very important!
