Gooood afternoon Bluesky!
I've been working on a little #indiegame. And it's made me fall back in love with game dev.

Our phones can be too much. Be soothed by Yosh Pinball!

You can get it on iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/yosh-...
And @itch.io grey-fox.itch.io/yosh-pinball

This was a fun little #gamedev prototype I made after playing some Pokémon Shuffle.

Don't expect to do anything with this one, and I'm cooking up some cool stuff with some ex Roll7 devs at the mo, watch this space 😜

i made a starter pack of former r7ers so you can keep tabs on what we're all up to. great eggs, each and every one, even if they are all scattered to the wind like, uh, disparate windblown eggs..

Take-Two Interactive has now confirmed that it did, in fact, close subsidiaries Roll7 and Intercept.

In May, following Bloomberg's report that the studios were closed, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said, "We didn't shutter those studios, to be clear."

I've been saying I was going to do this for ages, but I finally got around to writing up everything I know about good object pools in Unity. I've dropped the first 2 parts today, with more to come soon!

Increasingly lazy commit messages now I'm not officially "Working". if you can call making games working.

I re-released my very first indie project from 5 years ago. You really don't need to be a good programmer to make cool shit, this code was garbage... but it works!
