Bought a Switch 2! I'm officially part of the problem. Mario Kart World Tour is fun. Also excited that Mario Kart Live Home works out of the box! Seems to have a better connection than the Switch 1

A few years back Make-a-Wish reached out to me. There was a kid whose dream was to create a game inspired by The Mandalorian. I invited him over, and together we built a game fulfilling his dream! ✨ (The game can't be shared, for legal reasons)

Please be kind to each other!

The .NET team managed to create a prototype running C# on the Web. There’s still a lot of work and testing to do, but we are getting there! #godotengine

I don't understand the hate for the Shrek 5 designs. I've never been so disconnected from the general audience before. I LOVE the new DreamWorks style and was genuinely floored with how good The Last Wish was. I was expecting a new Shrek movie with similar designs.

The mad lads that have been working on WebXR... wow wow wow! You guys have been cooking! I was able to get up and running with a VR app in a fraction of the time it took me to setup Unity with Meta's building blocks that don't even work half the time. Very exciting!

What is the point of games on phones if the phone just overheats?? Why let the phone melt itself from the inside? Throttle the performance but don't turn my phone into a molten brick!

"paradox of rarity"

if you have a reward pool with specific drop rates say, 90% common item, 10% rare item
and you have 100 common items and 2-3 rare items

those rare items are more common than any of the common items

BlueSky experience update: It's better now that more game devs have migrated but why is Game Dev feed still so saturated with non-game dev stuff??
November 5, 2024 at 2:57 AM
Hey is BlueSky doing things again? Is there hope once more?
October 19, 2024 at 2:55 AM
Sheesh. All you had to do BlueSky was let me browse cool game dev stuff. That's it. Instead I never open this app because the "Game Dev" thread is full of random crap that has nothing to do with game dev! Ugh!
January 30, 2024 at 1:49 AM
BlueSky seems cool. All I needed to jump ship from ex-twitter was an easy way to see game dev tweets which was so easy to find. Now we just need, ya know, people to post game dev stuff.
