havchr - Norwegian Oslo based Gamedev

La oss gå hardt ut mot USA . hopp over til Mastodon.

Hei- jeg ber dere, både forstå hvorfor det er viktig, men først og fremst - å støtte opp under fediverset gjennom å være tilstede på ActivityPub-platformer som Mastadon. Den demokratiske utfordringen med algoritmestyrte medier tror jeg dere forstår, håper dere skjønner at dere kan gjøre en forskjell

Wink wink
bluesky :( Mastadon :)

#nintendoSwitch2 ,
I have one very big hope - revamped digital store - with seal of approval and that games has to pass quality control. At one point in time, it was good that we opened up for everyone to freely self publish . Nowadays, there is no value in this, because indies with great games […]

Hello all followers (not that many), but anyhow. I have bridged my gamedev.place mastodon account to bluesky - and please follow it : @havchr.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy
I like mastodon more, but most people seem to have jumped onto this ship - That account is my gamedev/english account.

Since it seems so many are on the bluesky-train, I need to bridge my mastodons and my bluesky somehow. I refused to go 100% bluesky based on prior social media going tits up at the will of corporations. Anyone got good tools for that?

I liked Animal Farm a lot better.

Just here to cordially remind people that heavily privately funded social media will turn and twist eventually. Fool me once etc, the second time - I ended up on

Blue skies, a dreamlike valley filled to the brim with silicone - all newcomers came like an exodus from the x. We should all just jump ship to something less venture capitalist-backed. Lets go back to the rock at appolo 440 - or, in other words, internet like it was meant to be - hosted everywhere.

Looking forward to launch, Ive been enjoying the demo on my steam-deckish lenovo go

3 Video Games You May Have Missed in January Skate City: New York lets mobile gamers pull off kick flips in Central Park. With its corkboard-pinned family tree, The Roottrees Are Dead makes sleuths of us all.

One of the most useful pieces of code I have created is the PivotAdjuster. It is a Unity tool, context click gameobjects in the hierarchy and move them around to make pivots nice. Please Enjoy!

og igjen, takk for at dere kom på fest, spilte masse, og snakka om spillet vårt! 🥰

Jeg tror forøvrig min karisma er så langt unna reklamebransjen det er mulig å komme </introvert> 😆

Veldig gøy med Spillmatic på Skate City release-party , men en rettelse er på sin plass : Agens er ikke et reklamebyrå. Agens er et selveid selskap, med egen spillavdeling. Agens som selskap gjør mye forskjellig, men Agens Games, som underavdeling er spillutviklere, ikke reklamefolk ;)

I have a sense that Steam might be able to compete somewhat with switch 2, but it will be interesting to see. SteamOS is a very decent experience on a Lenovo Go(bazitte), and the steam store is magnitudes better than Nintendo’s e-shop.

Accidental Rennesance - OK, wholesome fun.
Accidental Nazisism - NOT OK! (also not really accidental was it... )

There was an old school top-down sci-fi shooter that was rats in mecha-balls, shooting, mazing in the maze and upgrading weapons and shit. Good inspirational reference.

But what you lament, happens in the comments - conflating the idea of a person being a skeptic and wanting a civil discussion with some vague online community of «skeptics that are assholes». We are so quick to label, pigeonhole and put in boxes. See a person for a person.

I was there for the first one as a 16 year old kid who had just learned how to program. I can honestly say, LudumDare is what got me into gamedev. Thank you.

The #LDJam and #GameDev community are the best. 💜

I had only started making my announcement that I was stepping away to "make money to pay scary bills", before the community stepped up to say "nah". 💜

I'm not ready to say LD2025 is uncancelled, but things are optimistic.

Also - it is not «kickflip over the circle», it is «kickflip inside the circle». 👍
