Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL -
Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers.
You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

Indie devs I am begging you to use readable fonts anywhere a font is present anywhere in your game.
Completely understand desire to use a font that feels appropriately stylised for art direction, but some fonts genuinely hurt your players ability to play your game from accessibility perspective

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️
Artists create universes from nothing.
Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

I'm a sucker for fighting game design documents and really enjoyed this one for the UI design of X-Men: Children of the Atom with comic art pasted in as a representative battle.

Implementing stop-motion style animation for DOGWALK was fascinating.
We animated the characters on 2s (meaning 12 fps).
To make the movement sync up I made sure the animation blending & character rotation is matching that, instead of just using linear interpolation!

I'm organising a technical art meetup at Develop: Brighton! ✨
I found it hard to find others last year so wanted to try running a little group this time. Even if you can't join, do share so others can see it.

Just now finished watching Bandersnatch. Quite an interesting interactive movie on Netflix. It will be removed in a couple of days, so if you're interested, make sure to give it a shot.
Watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch | Netflix Official Site
In 1984, a young programmer begins to question reality as he adapts a dark fantasy novel into a video game. A mind-bending tale with multiple endings.

I made a bunch of one page tips on #gamedev with stuff that I learned over the years. It leans towards the direction + production side.
This is stuff that worked for me, maybe it can be of use for you.
Here is a thread of tips, starting with keeping your project on track with timeboxing
