11-Bit Studios on succeeding at publishing – but missing out on Cult of the Lamb How the studio's sideline delivers meaningful revenue to cover the gaps between its own games

11-Bit Studios says its publishing arm accounts for a "substantial chunk" of its revenue - although it passed on a few titles that became big hits. "Would I love to have Cult of the Lamb in our portfolio now? Quite possibly!"

I once had a project that we used one of these services because we were making a Y2K Rave inspired level and we wanted to be 100% sure that any of the slangs and or symbols we used were a drug/sex reference.

Yup, it was for the woke anti-drug or innuendos in kids game agenda.

I love dumbasses that never worked gamedev thinking that having a consultation group is some sort of illuminati meeting-behind-closed-doors deal instead of, like, having a guy that producers can email to check if blackface is still bad or if medieval knights had flintlocks or something

#Blocktober Turbine (UE4,Doom 2016)

The player needs to power a tram terminal on the surface of Mars by aligning the three wind turbines (high/mid/low).

This level work no matter which turbine you decide to approach first and the layout/enemy variety creates a lot of movement/flow for.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’d love to share the progress I’ve made over the past few weeks for this #Blocktober. 🚧

I’ve been working on a third-person action level inspired by Uncharted and Tomb Raider, focusing on platforming and level scripting. 🧭🎮

Man, looking at this again...it's such a bummer that they canned this version and turned it into a regular action game. Anyone know what happened behind the scenes here?

Starter Packs - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Ok new #TTRPG and #Newsky fam, I have a whole new thread for finding stuff on and using Bluesky.

Student handcuffed after Doritos bag mistaken for a gun by school’s AI security system Armed police handcuffed and searched a student at a high school in Baltimore County, Maryland, this week after an AI-driven security system flagged the teen’s empty bag of chips as a possible firearm.

Hyped AI garbage is quickly becoming endemic. And it's going to get people killed. One nervous cop on a false weapons/terrorism call is all it takes.

BREAKOUT-DOCKSIDE_UPDATE_002 - This is a HUGE update! I finished the left side of the docks and then began placing the important props and gameplay flow pathways and tightening up the map and design areas. Hope you also like it! #Unrealengine5 #Leveldesign #Gamedesign #Gamedesigner #Gameart

WELCOME IN!

For those doing the #blocktober challenge, please post videos instead of those pesky screenshots with a bunch of lines.

The crowd want to see the level being played not the guiding lines!

I made a Level Designer Starter Pack, so will be easier to find, share and get found as a LD in bluesky (and also makes your feed really blocky as a side effect).

If you want to join just post at least one (1) unit of Blockout (as tribute) and ask!

To celebrate #Blocktober here’s a side project I worked on not too long ago! Not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but had a blast making it :) I also love experimenting with new tools for side projects, for this one I used @maxpears.bsky.social LD-KIT and really enjoyed working with it!
