Indienytt fra Spillhistorie.no - Spillhistorie.no Retrogamingpappa hører hvordan det går med noen av de norske utviklerne vi har snakket med tidligere.

Det skjer mye i den norske spillbransjen, og @retrogamingpappa.bsky.social har tatt kontakt med noen av utviklerne vi har snakket med tidligere for å høre hvordan det går.

Her er blant annet skjermbilder fra Overvåkerne-gjengens nye spill, Nekroskredderen.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*

In Folklands, your folks go about their lives in-between their tasks.

Why is this lonely woman sitting on the beach, heart-broken? Nobody knows.

Fast Lakes and Rivers Computation for Small Terrains Given a relatively small heightmap (128x128 to 256x256), compute the water distribution from a source to the borders of the map

I've made a small entry @thegodotbarn.com about it : thegodotbarn.com/contribution... I've not explained the algorithm tho ... perhaps i should.

Slow-paced settlement builders like Caesar 3 and the classic Anno and Settlers games are some of our biggest inspirations.

Amazing games you could play and enjoy in your own pace ✨ What was your favorite memory with these classics?

Just found out my wife might be losing her job, so I'm desperately searching for work. Contract, full-time, freelance, whatever. Press, PR, consulting, anything. I have 16 years of editorial experience and have been writing about games for 13. Reviews, news, previews, guides, etc. RTs appreciated.

Sometimes you have to take a step back and just realize how much your game can improve if you just keep working on it.

These shots are two years apart.

Keep at it.

You can easily do 80-90% of contemporary gamedev on Linux. It's not perfect, but that 10x less time having to deal with Windows.
