"wow, everyone knew this already" is such a cynical, annoying and unfortunately extremely common response to tech news. assuming your privacy is being violated and proving that it is are two very different things, and the latter is the result of hard work and rigorous reporting

I reached the end of Beast Breaker. I'm gonna miss this game. I wish there was a way to replay the final boss to beat it with every weapon for the achievements, or at least, that the post game enemies still count towards the relevant achievements, but other than that, I really loved this game!!

Released minc compiler 0.9.9 - this is a major correctness and optimization update. The motivation for this work was to run the transpiled Box3D library at equal performance levels as msvc/clang. Installer scripts and links to repos at minc.dev

Hi friends! I'm happy to announce that our little mouse-bouncing adventure Beast Breaker will finally be playable on Steam! Everyone thank our friends at @kandofactory.bsky.social for making this possible. Lots of details about all the new stuff here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWfQ...

The act of recording with a camera should be obvious and clear to anyone looking at it. If that means adding little red "recording" lights to phones and security cameras then so be it.

I'm looking for recs for a solo tabletop worldbuilding game like Microscope or Quiet Year. Suggestions welcome! (It doesn't have to be JUST solo I guess, but it'd be nice.)

most pains in gamedev directing come from the fact it's nearly impossible to do this for games unless you're repeating a known work

an important skill, when directing a project, is to be able to imagine what the finished product will look like before it has been made

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
