I wrote a thing for all of y'all getting into Unreal Engine and/or gamedev. Most of this is very specialty (and even engine) agnostic so hopefully many folks can find something useful here!

Since Potions' console launches shipped (crash-free!), I was able to buckle down and add new content to Game Dev Foundry, including "Stages of Game Development" with best practices!
I hope these free resources help others on their #gamedev and #indiedev path!

Heads up - usually after I put out this call I've had 200 emails already. This time, so far, it's just a handful!
While the grown ups at Kotaku are all off distracted thanking turkeys or whatever it is they do, I wanna promote as many unknown indies as I can!

Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025!
If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at jwalker@kotaku.com with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku.
Rules next. Reposts appreciated!

Stop just 'announcing' stuff. Ask a direct question: "What should we name this enemy?" "Rate this new shader 1-10." Make people feel like they're helping build the game. 🫡

It is unfortunate that many places in the world don't have proper laws and elected officials actually doing their job defending their constituents working in the video game industry. But Edinburgh seems to have that! I hope justice can be brought and the message heard throughout the world.

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

A successful next fest run needs a lot of strategy (and luck). It's not going to magically give you wishlists
So... Steam Next Fest happened again, and the number of folks that have been disappointed by their game's performance seems to be growing higher and higher.
I looked at the number of demos launched on Steam in the window of each Next Fest the past five years, and.... 🤯

Did you know that the Unreal Engine EULA does not mandate you to show the UE logo at the start of your game? If you want to use it, you actually need to ask us for permission to show it.
You only need to credit UE in your credits, per unrealengine.com/eula.
