Intro threads are a thing now apparently.

Hey all, I'm Jordan Carroll! Senior developer, currently in web, formerly in mostly-non-entertainment game development for the HoloLens (RIP).

I have some game side projects, like a 3D Arcade Fishing game with o v e r t o n e s called Fish Heaven.
I started working on my 3D engine for #playdate a little over 3 months ago, and took copious footage of the milestones and interesting failures. All footage is timestamped with the date of capture. Enjoy!

Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips:

1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS

2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience:
- follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them
- interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers)
- post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

Behold the dog that covets,

the beast that cannot wait

His piercing gaze will rend your soul

‘til crumbs fall off your plate.

This is wild. The Indie Game Awards retracted Clair Obscur's GOTY/debut indie wins for undisclosed use of AI during development.
The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients.

Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq

Just ran into a new type of hellish job application form that *required* supervisor name and phone number for previous jobs that I authorize them to contact for reference. My last company doesn't exist anymore and I don't have the phone # of any of the 5 managers I had at Microsoft.
