Got myself my first apartment just now. It's a bitter sweet thing, it'll be the first time ever that I live alone. I've always been living with *someone* through my 35 years on this planet.
It's scary but exciting! HALP!

I'm having WAY too much fun with my side project atm! Working on something that isn't too heavy on story or atmosphere and more focused on mechanics and silly fun. It's a tower defence where you'll be able to build your own towers and unlock so much stuff!

I hope to be able and show off a bit of my tower defense project soon. A video with some commentary! Super early stuff but I hope it might be interesting for some 😛
Im having so much fun atm with making new mechanics and balancing numbers! So different from the story-heavy stuff I'm used to. Haha!

I feel personally attacked.
Only difference is that I gave up and now I'm trying to get started again.

I just finished a few hours of work on a project I shelved but started a few year ago (no, not Partum Artifex, sadly) and I had so much fun...! It's outside my comfort zone, it's slow progress, but it's fun to learn and create...!
I've missed this feeling. I hope it'll stay for a while 💚

Happy New year everyone. I hope that 2025 brings some joy in my life a new start perhaps.
2024 wasnt enough, apparently, so here's hoping. 💚

I think it's obvious I'm not a big fan of new years.

Question. You can't claim AI work under copyright... no? If that's the case, it would be fair play to copy all of it and post it on other platforms. All these upcoming AI generated articles from EDGE and co. could just be put on other websites without any problems, right?

#gamedev Bisky! I'm designing a house where my game will take place (two floors + attic + basement). I'm looking for a good Windows app to make floor plans for my level/environmental design. Ideally open source, or at least not super expensive. No online tools, preferably. Any recommendations?

As Bluesky gets more popular with time, more bots will show. Just renember that on this platform they cant purchase a damn checkmark to market their voices as much.
I hope that wont happen here... I understand ads, I wouldnt mind ads to be here as long as they are controlled!

It's not that people are giving positive feedback, it's that most people here seem to have brains - kind brains at the very least 😁💚
I feel like you can get fair, constructive feedback here rather than negative rude opinions.

Why have so many people in the games industry shifted to Bluesky?
Devs say the platform is a promising "fresh start."
"It's a great [place] to share early development and get early feedback from kind people."

My favorite thing about Bluesky vs. X is that it is Discussions vs. Arguements, angry, close-minded arguements.
Here, people are generally open and share their mind without losing their shits and going into name calling.
I'm so damn happy to have jumped ship. 💚

When you are let lose as a level designer into the realm of surrealism, juxtaposition and nightmares... then it is fun (and hard) to keep adding new cool areas for the player to explore!
But... maybe the gameplay need some work as well... 😅
