@lritter @jk It's always important to remember that AAA games are not "gaming".
It's one niche. The one with the biggest budget and the biggest marketing, because they are financial investments by rich people who care nothing about entertainment, but really not where most of the interesting new and creative developments happen.
Just like Hollywood isn't cinema.
Jurl for the Sinclair Spectrum has now become the most successful game i've made as an #indiedev - overtaking Jurl for the PC.
Ok, it's only $10 but it still counts

Start of a new week is a good time for a hot discussion.
Here's a story of how I brought my FOSS app to Steam, and the unfortunate conclusion based on that experience.

I know Kung Fu
And when I say Kung Fu I mean making a basic Behaviour Tree in Godot 4. This past week I have been quite busy wrapping my head around it, as I struggled quite a bit understanding how to organise and separate the different bits of enemy logic in the project.
I made a simple AI (of the good variety) that consist of the different behaviours:
- Wander inside an area
- Detect Targets
- Chase
- Attack
- Flee
- Center the move area
Hi everybody! And welcome back to our miniseries dedicated to rendering 3D scenes in shaders using the ray marching method. In the third episode, we will bring the previously static scene to life – adding combinations of objects, rotations along different axes and pivots, multiple lighting sources, and morphing using the so-called smooth minimum. #Godot #Godot4 #GodotEngine #GodotTips #shaders #devlog #indiedev

Some sketches I made on my Nomad for the hammer game. Some of them are ideas for enemies and boss battles, the monkey is a draft of the player character.
Made a wee TikTok to promote my new "dinky little Mac app" Substage (https://substage.app)
Is that even a thing, do people successfully promote indie apps on TikTok? Also what's the latest on TikTok in the US, is it broadly available or not??
appreciated, if that helps our master and overlord, The Algorithm??

Today's #ScreenshotSaturday is the colored animation that Daikon's been working on for #Hamayumishi!
This hasn't been added to the game just yet (there are still a few more scenes he's working on before the full opening cutscene is ready) but you can play the demo for Hamayumishi on @itchio right now!!
My guys decided to build a radar tower...out of sticks
Unity have finally done something that #Unity3d developers have been asking them to do for ages.
They created their own game, from concept to publishing, using Unity 6. Let the dog fooding begin!

Messed up the terrain mesh a bit... Anybody fancy some low-poly terrain lasagna?
Hey, is it a good day to announce something?
So, if you're enjoying Bosca Ceoil: The Blue Album (a free and open app for making music that aims to fit novices and indies, by the way)...
...You can now donate to its development via Steam!
