I got some art in my little c++ prototype, so thought I'd share! Really enjoying working on this little maze game so far. Not sure how far I'll go with this, but I'll share progress as I do.

I've been working on a little prototype in c++ lately and I think it's the most game dev fun I've had in years. I've never felt this connected to the project when working in a bigger game engine

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

Kirby Air Riders really does feel like if the guy who made Kid Icarus Uprising made a Mario Kart

Bad news: I got laid off from a project and rent is still late, I'm afraid I'll receive an eviction notice soon. I managed to pay part of it last month but we're still struggling. Any help is appreciated!

We need to start indoctrinating moms into far right movements so the kids will think it's cringe and become leftists

I went to 4 different stores today to look for a maze book and came up short, which means it's either an untapped market or there's no audience. Anyway, here's a maze I drew!

Blegh, very tired of this take

The problem is not too many games. Not everyone needs to play every game. Not every game SHOULD need to make a huge sales splash. There is a problem with getting games to their audiences. It's a curation, literacy, storefront, scope, and legacy games culture problem.

Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled β€œTransgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines β€œTransgender Ideology” and β€œTIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

My 2 cents: Silksong is a game about achieving something difficult in an unfair world. Its gameplay is often unfair and difficult to support the aesthetic and the story, and I think it's able to pull it off in a way few games do.
