Some days I wonder how much damage Discord has done to online communities (generally it's not even its direct fault, only a consequence of its popularity).
A couple of things come to mind:

Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you.

Mario Kart World had no right to be this fun!
Honestly it's been a surprise. I thought I was tired of the Mario Kart series after 8, but World is great. Power-ups make it unpredictable, but the driving is really technical and expressive. There's a lot of tricks to perform, and to win you have to!

Shouldn't have clicked on the new Mario movie trailer. It ruined my morning.
I really hope Nintendo stops with the whole "let's make tons of movies by just giving the IP to third-party" power dream.

Gross tbh. Zerocalcare is a GIANT, and he actually spent time in war zones to understand human stories, instead of writing centrist conspiratorial nonsense where the baddie is called EVIL MAN. kotaku.com/hideo-kojima...

This is a great read.
Also: important to realise that this industry has become *persistently terrifying* for your favourite devs, and that is no atmosphere in which to be creative.
Try to buy games, if you're able. Buy lots of games. Review and share them if you love them. Talk about them.

Sat down for a lovely chat with @clert.bsky.social over @eurogamer.bsky.social To talk about my games and how I'd like to keep making and improving them sustainably. To step away from the launch, meme and hype driven madness that has taken root in games.

As viral hits like Escape from Duckov and Megabonk change the industry, Falconeer developer Tomas Sala has found another way to survive
What if you didn't have to spin the roulette wheel every time you released a new game, hoping for it to find an audience? What if there was a better way?

I mean, The Game Awards... what do you expect 🤷🏻♂️
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

The entire Pokémon Legends Z-A map is just ONE single model. That explains why the game has flat buildings everywhere.

Unbound is really cool. The ability to build with volume is such an appealing way of creating game worlds. And now with physics...
Unbound's joyful, intuitive sculpting experience is now even more powerful with physics. Use collisions, triggers, constraints, physics logic blocks & APIs help you set up complex rigs and behaviors for your game.

It's a good hour long taste of our adventure: you'll use your tongue, learn to climb, find veggies you can build paths with, and borrow a stranger's backpack.

I hope that whatever is coming will be a natural evolution of the Affinity suite, and not some garbage AI-powered tool*

Serif has stopped purchases for #Affinity apps in preparation for a "big announcement" and are responding to user concerns about subscriptions or genai with meaningless doublespeak. Feels bad!!
