#nintendoswitch2 ,
I have one very big hope - revamped digital store - with seal of approval and that games has to pass quality control. At one point in time, it was good that we opened up for everyone to freely self publish . Nowadays, there is no value in this, because indies with great games […]

Hello all followers (not that many), but anyhow. I have bridged my gamedev.place mastodon account to bluesky - and please follow it : @havchr.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy
I like mastodon more, but most people seem to have jumped onto this ship - That account is my gamedev/english account.

Since it seems so many are on the bluesky-train, I need to bridge my mastodons and my bluesky somehow. I refused to go 100% bluesky based on prior social media going tits up at the will of corporations. Anyone got good tools for that?

Blue skies, a dreamlike valley filled to the brim with silicone - all newcomers came like an exodus from the x. We should all just jump ship to something less venture capitalist-backed. Lets go back to the rock at appolo 440 - or, in other words, internet like it was meant to be - hosted everywhere.

One of the most useful pieces of code I have created is the PivotAdjuster. It is a Unity tool, context click gameobjects in the hierarchy and move them around to make pivots nice. Please Enjoy!

Veldig gøy med Spillmatic på Skate City release-party , men en rettelse er på sin plass : Agens er ikke et reklamebyrå. Agens er et selveid selskap, med egen spillavdeling. Agens som selskap gjør mye forskjellig, men Agens Games, som underavdeling er spillutviklere, ikke reklamefolk ;)

I have a sense that Steam might be able to compete somewhat with switch 2, but it will be interesting to see. SteamOS is a very decent experience on a Lenovo Go(bazitte), and the steam store is magnitudes better than Nintendo’s e-shop.

The #LDJam and #GameDev community are the best. 💜

I had only started making my announcement that I was stepping away to "make money to pay scary bills", before the community stepped up to say "nah". 💜

I'm not ready to say LD2025 is uncancelled, but things are optimistic.

Skate city 2 is out!!! It was so fun working on the first game and the sequel is packed with even more skate spots and tricks!

Also massive shout-out to Joar Renolen for helping out with the final touches on the SFX and all the sick tracks he added for pro-skate mode 🛹✨

I've been reading "machines that think" by Inga Strümke , quite good for a layman introduction to machine learning techniques and avoiding hyperbole. I think it's only published in Norwegian.
TLDR : in chinese

It has been a long time since I have done any Blender stuff. I wanna get it back into my fingers again. I just gotta find some fun things to model - and maybe animate.. or maybe even resurface some old projects.
