Keith Evans

I'm Keith. I am a computer programmer with a focus in #ProceduralGeneration / #ProcGen, a game designer for board and computer games, an RPG Textbook Layout artist, a wargaming terrain builder, and a drummer.

Rockstar has GTA 6... We have one bloke building boats Yup, solo dev and our personal hero @falconeerdev.bsky.social is bringing CANNON BATTLES to SHIPSHAPER on November 19th Yes. The same day. Your move, Rockstar 💥

we've created a no AI notice to reassure people seeing our trailers and games with hand drawn lettering and a relaxing cute fox, and it's also up on itch in multiple formats* for anyone to use: eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-... *with/without fox, transparent/opaque, in 4k, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p

Okay, I promised I'd explain my internet saga at some point, and now's as good a time as any. For anyone who doesn't know, since November of 2025, my internet connection which had been stable for years, suddenly became unreliable and would intermittently disconnect whenever I was trying to stream.

My time at Resolution Games is unfortunately coming to a close, so I'm looking for a new role! I'm a Stockholm-based gamedev with 5 years of professional studio experience as a programmer and 15+ freeware game releases (often created solo!) over the past decade. More links & info here: jusiv.me

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

First five #TTRPG in the order I played them: 1. Vampire the Masquerade, Revised 2. Dungeons and Dragons 3.0/3.5 3. Call of Cthulhu 4. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st Edition 5. Big Eyes, Small Mouth Honestly it's a miracle I even stayed in the hobby. :D

The whole thing is built around this: people like to talk. People like to tell stories and listen to stories, and listen to big ideas and come up with big ideas, and to communicate with each other about what they liked. If there's nobody on one end of the idea it isn't communication. It's nothing.

Your Sunday summary of the past week in FLASH GORDON, wherein we give you an overview of the many nations of planet Mongo. Come back tomorrow for the first week of our next storyline: THE HEAT. Not to be missed 🔥

making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format

Thing is, if we expect storefronts to let people inform their purchasing decisions with AI disclosures then where does it end? Listing the developer and the publisher? Minimum spec requirements? Age ratings? Controller support? You gotta think this through

RT if you don't use AI for coding

2026 continues to be 2003

Y’know, the “forever gm” meme is kind of annoying. Gming isn’t something I dislike, it is my favorite way to play games. You know what I DO dislike? Being the forever scheduler. The forever planner. The one who’s gotta get the ball rolling every time. I think that’s like half of gm burnout for me

Tim Sweeney is, to borrow a a phrase from KaiserBeamz, "A man who knows the cost of everything but the value of nothing." The David Zaslav of gaming.

steam should have tipping. it should have tipping. there should be tipping on steam. on steam, you should be able to tip the developer. the tip money should go straight to the developers who worked on the game and not the publishers or valve. they should make it so that on steam, you can give a tip

Spent the last two weeks in Vancouver and immediately regretting only having instant coffee at home.

"make new IPs instead of sequels and remakes" with what money you dickhead. "take inspiration from outside of games" we are dickhead, there's no fucking money. "why does nobody even try to make x thing anymore" WHAT MONEY

@legendaryvermin.bsky.social Happy Verminday!

the industry is absolutely crawling with incredible people trying to make really thoughtful things with incredible track records and 10 years ago they could have got funded and today they absolutely cannot. no fucking chance. for any amount of money. ANY AT ALL

Oh typical. I've been here two weeks and now on the day I'm leaving NOW you post a dream job?

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

The old games industry is dying. The new games industry is struggling to be born. Now is the time of absolutely batshit corporate decision-making.

video games were a short lived entertainment medium popular from ~1970 - ~2025

This weekend we announced the first title from @stupendiumsoftwork.bsky.social this weekend - a first person survival horror set in a 1950s Hollywood Cinema. 🍿 Check out the title reveal trailer now! youtu.be/Qrh6hMZmlDE?...

Today (Oct 19) in indie gaming: - Christine Love psychosexually torments you, or - Heather Flowers provokes you to stab yourself with a knife

This whole topic has me remembering a horrible thought experiment I had to do in high school. It's where my mind goes whenever the "No Matter Who" argument gets brought up, because my actions in the moment still frighten me. 🧵

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Poly Fighter is out on early access today!! please pick up a copy and support the team!! btw I wrote a bit on this game too :)

How I arrived on Bluesky

It's been fun watching @laurakbuzz.bsky.social run through FFXIV. And getting to help her through the end of HW was a blast (even if my healing is atrocious for handling Australian ping :D) So much interesting stuff in her future though. Plot only gets wilder from there.
