Big congrats to everyone at @DSDambuster for shipping @deadislandgame - it’s been through a special brand of development hell, but awesome for it to finally see the light of day!
Definitely improved since the build I last worked on… seven years ago 🙃
After suffering through the process of building a game prototype in Unity, we burned out - hard. Current #gamedev tools just don't value a collaborative, design-first approach.
So, against all sensible advice, we're building a game engine for #indiedev 🤪 quantifun.com
Hey #gamedev! we're running a running a six-question survey on the topic of game engines - if you've got five minutes and are interested in venting, or you'd like to wax lyrical about your favourite engine, we'd really appreciate the input!

Programmer: *sobbing*
Can we all just admit that Elden Ring’s NG+ only exists to provide extreme catharsis through a whirlwind tour of vengeance?
And I like it 😏
Some entertainment from the weekend, featuring terrible gameplay and the weirdest laugh ever captured by a microphone

Just learned that Mathf.Sign(0) == 1f in Unity, and now I don't know how I can trust anyone ever again
Today’s the day! Finalising the Steam build for our prototype playtest, then going to hibernate for a week or three.
#gamedev: not even once

So many of the rights we have - from the weekend, to maternity leave, to pensions - exist because trade unions fought for them.
To fight for better rights, protect yourself and your colleagues, join a trade union this #HeartUnions week 👉🏽 tuc.org.uk.
