Speaking of The Knightling...
We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️

One of the best parts of our game being built around actual rc cars is we could try things in real space that we may want to put in the game

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

please ask me anything regarding character illustration, blender, anything really.
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

"Oh sure, let me instantly generate every storefront image at once" is something no game developer ever said... until I added this feature to Kenney Game Assets All-in-1! 🎉

NEW: I spoke with the reporters behind Post Games, Aftermath, Game File, People Make Games, Rogue, and Rascal News to learn about the trials and triumphs of going independent in a shifting game media landscape dominated by conglomeration and layoffs.

Can worker-owned outlets create a brighter future for video game journalists and their readers?

Working on Multimesh+ for my game, a simple multimesh editor in #GodotEngine.
Add, delete, scale, and paint. MM+ is designed to facilitate the editing of multimesh instances and divide them on a grid for 3D culling.
All available on GitHub :)

Unlocking new vehicles isn't just about the cosmetics, each one performs differently, so you'll want to collect them all to explore everything!

Few places the Oxford comma would be more syntactically vital than in the phrase "eat shit and die". Am I to do nothing more than eat and shit until I die? Or am I to die as a result of eating shit?

In our game you don't always want to send it at 100% speed, sometimes it's better to take things slow to make it over obstacles, so here's how the throttle limiter affects your driving
