If you're a lead at a European studio, push your executives/HR to publish the percentage of devs who have opted out of the Working Time Directive.
Push to lower the percentage in order to attract more experienced devs looking for long-term careers. Show your studio understands crunch isn't sustainable.

Less than a week until Marie & I's first game launches for Windows & Mac!

It took a while, but Terrain system and tooling in Unity is getting some updates ;) https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/10/10/2018-3-terrain-update-getting-started/

any time i've started working with a codebase that wasn't mine there's always a period where i don't know what's going on and i'm afraid to change anything because i don't know how things work

and inevitably i find out that nothing works anyways so i can just do things my own way

I worked hard on this trailer. It's not amazing, but I think it does what it needs to. More importantly, Lost Exodus is shipping soon! \o/ #gamedev #indiedev

This post on code comments by Redis author is great http://antirez.com/news/124

I just played the free game Monstrüous on #itch, and what a blast!

It's a great gameplay idea and use of 2D animation/comics in the French tradition I grew up with.

It plays like an animated short film (5-10 min of gameplay), go ahead and try it!

(Ah, and made with #GodotEngine, which makes me quite proud :))

What I'm working on right now: https://gitlab.com/mikekchar/testy

It started as an experiment in creating a functional based (mostly) pure OO system in JS. I'm really enjoying writing code this way, so possibly when I actually start writing my game (instead of pretending), it will be like this.
