Creating a Editor Script to automate replacing the old portal system I used with another.

Thank fuck for Odin. Regular Editor scripting is doable but also can be annoying(Don't look at the variable names...). Also, automating stuff in Unity. To be confirmed if this was the right call.

I've done it 16 times before (+ gamejams) and it's still not easy. But at least I can tell myself I've done it before.

No. 17 coming up soon...

modified from mysillycomics' "a true conversationalist" A guy says "hey 1979 IBM training manual hows it goin?" Photograph of said manual reads: "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION" *the guy looks on with a melancholy expression* "yea"

*repetitive strain injury from tapping the sign*

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results

that human element elevates the work

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.

Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

Or you just could have not destroyed any faith the community had in your products in the first place?

FFS why is this so hard for people to understand?

Former Critical Reflex Employee Alleges Harassment And Unfair Labor Practices Ex-employee Evelina Zemljic accuses Critical Reflex of sexual harassment, unpaid labor, and poor working conditions in a revealing YouTube exposé.

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively.

Lone Wulf Studio 2025 Indie Showcase Submission Submit 15 seconds of game footage from games you worked on in 2025!

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

Beyond Sunset represents a collaborative effort from too many people to name in a single post. It began as a solo project in 2015. Today, it's a first person shooter made with love by a bunch of extraordinarily talented people. #indiedev

the way of the gun: part 2 of building a better shooter So! Last year, I wrote a thread on social media talking about how much I missed a specific style of first person shooter — they just don’t…

I'm BAAAAAAACK!

That's right! it's me, Doc, and I'm here to tell you all about guns in first person shooters, hopefully helping you be way more creative in your weapon design by breaking 'em down into the basics
