Oops… I did it again. Instead of finishing my main project in Unity, I got sidetracked learning Love2D/Lua... and then sidetracked again with Godot 😄 Now I’ve got a nice little classic Zelda-like prototype.

Yes, I think I was mostly thinking about games catalogue, which in a way may or may not be tied to the hardware. N64 sounds like a good candidate because of the jump to 3d and the relative lack of experience amongst the developers

Hey fellow #gamedevs (and others), lately I was wondering: what do You think is the console that overall aged the WORST? #retrogaming #games #retrogames

Noo!

I probably should keep working on my current project instead of learning Love2D and Lua… but here we are.

The #homebrew project,
"G-Zero" by "gasega68k"
recently received an update

The original demo already served as an impressive tech showcase,
replicating the #SNES' iconic Mode-7 3D effect,
but on the #Sega #Genesis

Get it here:

Protests at Rockstar Stretch to Rockstar Toronto As Local Game Devs, Academics, and CWA Canada Reps Stand With Fired Workers A group of CWA Canada reps, local Toronto game devs, and academics protested at Rockstar Toronto in solidarity with the 34 fired workers.

We've heard a lot from the 31 workers who Rockstar fired in the UK, so when I was told there was a protest happening to support those 31, and the three fired here at Rockstar Toronto, I made sure to go meet those protestors to speak with them and see how it all unfolded. wccftech.com/cwa-canada-t...

Rebuilding my enemy state machine this week!
The old version worked, but adding new behaviors felt like surgery every time.
Now I’m switching to a more modular, flexible setup so I can plug in new enemy states without breaking everything.
Wish me luck.

DirtWorld is a gameplay mashup of Spelunky and Blue Prince with 80s dark fantasy movie vibes.

Absolutely loving this edition of King Sorrow by @joe-hill.bsky.social! What a ride! I’m not even done yet and it already feels like a modern classic. Shoutout to @blackcrowbooks.bsky.social and @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social for such a stellar edition!

I had to take a longer break from development and then had a hard time getting back to it but playing @megabonk.bsky.social has me motivated again :D
I thought I was the only one with boss portals 😅
