any time a successful indie game is made by someone with a totally unhealthy relationship to work and no work/life balance it just creates that expectation for everyone else. you can't make an art scene off of people who are isolating and torturing themselves with work
you need to be shenmuemaxxing. you need to appreciate the mundane beauties of your urban environment. you need to third wheel with immigrant hot dog venders and their hot girlfriends. you need to be eating lunch with your boys on the docks every day. you need to play hang-on
Sometimes Making a Game Means Creating Your Own Genre…Sort Of 🤔 #indiegame #indiedev #waxheartgame
one wonderful thing about the new game making philosophy i'm seeing emerge is that people aren't trying for a commercial edge, they're just doing things they're excited about. we're all doing weird specific and complimentary experiments in parallel. we're all collaborating and enriching one another.
went and wrote about gameplay loops :)

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.
I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!

I'm absolutely becoming the annoying Nine Sols guy but DO NOT SLEEP ON NINE SOLS!!!!
no matter what you do in games, no matter how successful or unsuccessful your game is: you are on the chopping block. the executives will sacrifice you to pad their wallets.
Thank you!! Also wanted to say your Stylized VFX in RIME talk is amazing and a big reason I started learning realtime VFX 🙏

If you’re interested, the full project is here along with all of the references I used and a very high-level explanation of the process: github.com/rdgh0st/FFT-...
Hey everyone! My name is Rob, I’m a game developer who’s especially interested in tech art, graphics programming, and most recently realtime VFX!
Here’s the completed piece I’m most proud of: a realtime ocean simulation in Godot 4 inspired by @acerola.gg ‘s videos!
