Aproveite os 20% de desconto e adicione Voidborn na conta da sua família
Tá na hora de retribuir aquele AAA que você zerou por que outra pessoa comprou (isso com certeza não aconteceu na minha família)

Ir trocar uma ideia e experiência no L.A.J.E. tem sido muito massa, esperando ansiosamente pela próxima edição 👀
Ontem rolou mais um L.A.J.E do Jogo_Coletivo com a palestra do pessoal da @pixelhound.bsky.social e foi sensacional. É muito gostoso ajudar a formar uma comunidade em cima de uma mentalidade de coletivismo e compartilhamento de conhecimento e experiências.
Façam parte de coletivos, gostoso demais

Excellent post about the culture of gaming worldwide and, most importantly, why talking about the Global South gaming experience matters beyond economical reasons.

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities:

My gamedev company - Moonana - is currently going bankrupt slowly after 7 years of hard work and being able to pay all staff (an indiedev miracle). We've made a christmas game to thank our fans over the years and say our goodbyes worse comes to be. This is a thread on our history & our newest title.

The best order of operations for any mid-scope indie game that requires funding is:
- Build it quickly & quietly assuming you'll self-publish
- Pitch to everyone
- If unsuccessful, put out a store page & start marketing
- If successful, publishers will come back to you
- If not, continue as-is

Last hours to get the Black Friday deal on Pitching and Funding by Jason Della Roca.
Got it yesterday and can't recommend it enough if you are looking for publishers.
A bit salty for Brazillians, but super worth it.

Empreender é uma parada puxada. A insegurança bate sempre, “será que esse é o melhor caminho mesmo?”. Nesses ~10 anos empreendendo, sempre tive que lidar com essa insegurança, acho que faz parte.

If you didn't plan to leave Unity yet, now is a good time to consider it.
If you did plan to leave Unity only in the future, maybe try checking if you can do it faster.

So Unity recently decided that the tiny startup I dayjob for needed to upgrade to Industry at 5k/year/seat. We had no chance to contest it because they would have killed our only product. They even threatened people we worked with in the past with the same.
It's not just us.

X had previously been a critical hub for devs to market their games, network, and share creative ideas.
Many hope Bluesky will recreate that experience, minus the negatives

I honestly think people should use more assets from the store.
As much as have a unique art style/assets is great, cost efficiency is super important.
Learning to balance between store assets and creating your own is definitely a skill by itself

Hi, I've been an indie dev for 20 years and shipped 15 games. Here's a GDC talk I did in 2016 that was quite popular. It was about indie sustainability and I'm still here, so that's good :-)
