I found a nice sci-fi looking font for my HUD - "Unfair" by @somepx.com They have a ton of great typefaces. somepx.itch.io/pixel-font-u... #gamedev

now i can fix my dice deckbuilder game for what the people really want #Godot #GameDev

A game I think really got slept on is Deathloop. Extremely stylish, interesting conceit, fun protagonist, leans into Arkane’s main strength i.e. sending you on stealth missions to kill a bunch of weird perverts

Main Theme of Red Dreams, OST composed by Carlos Martorell. The score blends harsh industrial synths with Māori melodic elements, reshaped through resynthesis so they sound ancestral and alien at once. Curious how it lands for you, alien, melancholic, hopeful?

This is our upcoming retro fantasy RPG - Queen’s Domain ⚔️ 🖤 A love letter to Kings Field/Morrowind 🏝️ Explore a mysterious labyrinthian isle full of secrets 👹 100+ unique enemy types Sound good? Tag a creator (or yourself!) below and keep an eye on your inbox

Adding a "NO AI" sticker to the 500 FINGER FILLET Next Fest demo page with a heavy sigh. I hate turning what's effectively a moral choice into a marketing beat, but it's goddamn dismal out there this year

We're sending out review keys for The WHEELJAM Collection today. If you're in games press and are interested in covering a game collection that uses no generative AI and largely highlights younger and less tenured developers in the industry, please reach out to hello@pedalboard.games or via DM!

Check it out! Lots of cool games! I'm very glad to be part of this. The jam was a great experience and the work put into this collection is inspirational! It is a great opportunity to have one of my games posted on Steam as part of this collection, especially as I've just started doing gamedev 🤠

Introducing: The WHEELJAM Collection 20 games from WHEELJAM 2025 and 2026, bundled on Steam for your convenience, and updated with new content, bugfixes, and more. Releasing October 14 on Steam for FREE, and with ZERO use of generative AI for ANYTHING.

I think the absolute fastest way for a #gamedev to master social media is to spend 40 seconds posting a literal screenshot of code and watch it outperform highly edited and VO'd posts of your Magnum Opus by 400%

Lost and Andor should be somewhere in top 10. Lost seems to have been mostly forgotten in the cultural zeitgeist, but that just makes it even more special for the people who discover it and realize how special it is

My hottest NYT "Best Shows of the 21st century" takes: - Better Call Saul should be higher Breaking Bad - Somebody Somewhere = top 20 show - Lost should be in top ten consideration, if not top 5 - Succession should be in the 20s, not the top ten - if Bluey isn't in the top 20, everybody's lying

Went from 28 FPS to a rock solid 60 FPS on Steam Deck just by tweaking my SubViewports #Godot Quick Tip: If your project uses a lot of SubViewports (as I do for signs, labels, letters) and chokes on low end hardware (like Steam Deck), drop this script on them Huge performance boost for a #gamedev

Fun fact about our #indiegame Alone With You: it's VERY Canadian if you're paying attention. 🍁 Characters named after Prime Ministers 🍁 Space-faring company is "Hudson-Cartier" 🍁 Cast reflects the diversity of Canada 🍁 We never shy away from injecting Canada into our games. #gamedev #gaming
