Today I am happy to share the first trailer for Age of the Deep. 🌊 Explore a fantasy ocean 🦈 Fight creatures of the Deep 🧜‍♀️ Choose your mermaid 🏝 Defend islands from danger #pitchyagame #unrealengine #indiegame #rpg

This is why i say if the game flops it's on me. I'm the one out here antagonizing everyone and everything the team has made is gorgeous. If the gameplay is bad, or if anything i've said has turned people off is 100% my fault. Even as an indie dev it's important to be this aware.

This post is unavailable.

Someone start a petition that lets EA know we left them behind.

It's mentioned in the article, but EA developers across multiple studios are being heavily encouraged (though, not mandated) to use generative AI technology such as Claude. This is not going down well with staff, but management is adopting a 'get with it, or get left behind' mentality.

This week on our show, Eric, Victor, and Nadia are joined by @brazyazn.bsky.social to discuss Final Fantasy Resonance, as well as give BioWare the sendoff of the Blood God. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll learn about hockey homicide pod.link/969659784/ep...

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

And of the 50 I looked at this was the only one I could be reasonably certain was made by a person. So again if y'all are doing kickstarters please be loud about your art somewhere on your page. Trying to help but make it a little easy for me. If I have to be a detective is bad.

Day 452! Tibbles was hungry. I fixed the shark behavior. Now they properly track their snack and resume wandering when they lose interest. Complicated bit of service work with the octree. Still gotta work on its turning anims. Not a bad night though. #indiegamedev

I don't even know how to ask anymore, or know to bother do so... I'm told by those close to me i need to keep doing so for hopesake. But I mean I don't know how to sit here n agongizing pain and ask for any of this, I'm tired of feeling less then human by society... I feel dehumanized this point.

North Mist Studios is a collection of former BioWare video game developers, including senior narrative team members behind the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series. Now, we're working on a brand new title: The Concierge, a story of Canadian Assassins in a Spy-Thriller Office Drama.

This is like being super pissed the burger joint you loved closed down after letting a stranger convince you you didnt like it, but now you want the burger, but no matter how much you ask the taco stand to make a burger they can't get it right cuz you forgot SpongeBob LOVED making that burger.

So my understanding is that there are a few camps of savemasseffect- like the one Kala is on and did the billboard. THAT one is prodevs. The big petition is just a guy, and per the petition, just wants the game made, even if its another studio.

I stay sane even with all that’s going on by putting more effort into encouraging and engaging with art then I do talking about the shit that corporations are doing. They want you to have no hope or joy to make their moves easer. Don’t let them take joy from you without a fight.

"Ai can't complain" Yea i know it can't tell everyone that you were horrible to work with. Cant sing your praises either though. Try some of that trust building on for size. Work with artists instead of counting them out. I promise you'll love it. Just be good to them.

For all you Christopher Chaos fans and lovers of the reanimated, the TPB version of The Perfectly Monstrous Life of Adam Frankenstein is now open for preorders with your local comic shops! FOC 11/23!

Paying artists is literally the best way i have to let everyone know i am making a game. Even if it doesn't work out I still got really beautiful art and maybe made an artists day and that always beats paying for an ad that doesn't do anything.

Wendy Xu@wendyxu.bsky.social

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

A história que eu venho planejando pra Kalia é sobre o que vimos nessas 3 semanas: esperança e mobilização mesmo em momentos de desespero. O #KatFS será apenas o prólogo desta história. Nessa semana, pretendo revelar mais sobre a lore da Kalia e seu mundo, pra dar um gosto do que o projeto almeja 🤘

Found lots of artists in here. Think about getting some comms of your indie game blorbos from a few of them.

If you are in an indie game studio and you release a game that becomes a huge hit, I'm begging you - please don't sell anything to a giant publisher. I know the amount of money will make it hard to resist, but... <gestures wildly>

I’ve been working on some things under the hood. Including targeting. I’ve also finished this officer the face is off a cheap action figure. #screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #indiedev
