"Video Game Execs Are Ruining Video Games": https://jacobin.com/2024/05/video-games-union-zenimax-exploitation

"If we accept precarity in the video game industry, or any other industry, as immutable or just a quirk of the 'culture,' we all lose. Game development does not have a culture of instability. It has a culture of exploitation."

This might throw you back a few years, but I'm willing to make that choice!

Didn't felt any of my games today, so quickly threw together a game from my childhood!

Playable on itch and lexaloffle:

The mines are infested, so be carefull if you dare venture into the mountain!

Little gif showcasing the newly added mines/mountain area for the pixel art tileset I'm working on! The old caverns are full rails and minecrarts, transporting the riches of the mountains, but now vicious bats, skeletons and zombies are guarding the ores.

Uploaded a really old failed 1k Jam entry for #pico8 in a form of a little #shmup!

Added little music, sfx, label and a crude loop, to be a little bit more enjoyable.

"Use GLTF for your 3D assets. It's based on JSON. And JSON is great!" they said.

Well, I regret to inform you that the majority of the game's asset loading times are parsing JSON.

Yes, decoding meshes, textures and animations and uploading them to the GPU are all faster than parsing the stupid JSON. I hate it.

If you're looking for high-quality free educational material for self-study - MIT Open Course Ware is something you should be aware of.

They have multiple courses about #GameDesign #GameDevelopment and #GameTheory (the science)

Here's a search query you can start from:

https://ocw.mit.edu/search/?t=Game%20Design

I started following the CMS.611J course and it seems to provides a solid foundation for working in #IndieDev. Specifically how to create and work in a multidisciplinary creative team.

Do you still remember this concept? Well now it is way more than that!

I have a working turn and combat system! Supports multiple player characters and as many enemies as you can fit on the screen!

The dungeon grumbles in the distance, will you be brave enough to wnter?

Several turns of the working combat system for my dungeon crawler! Supports multiple player characters and alternating turns between the player and enemies!
