What a beautiful flesh tunnel!
Always have a tagline!
Yes it helps for marketing, but it also focuses the game very succinctly!
DitherDream is a “trippy little exploration game,” and anything that didnt fit that got cut. Thats the only way I was able to break through my own scope creep tendencies and release it.

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

I’m starting to think that I should really pull that Holographic Night game out of my backlog at some point. Might be something to learn from there. People seem to like it.

I always figured he had just killed himself to avoid punishment, which is a thing people do.
But this feels like actual hard evidence!
There’s another possibility though: The files were deliberately conspicuously edited just to distract or mislead people.
Don’t mind me though, I’m crazy 🤷

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

If you haven't already done so, you can start now.

Not unless I just need the money to survive, and then it’s a temporary gig until I can find a better way to get by.
I work to live, and creativity is pretty core to my existence.

(Indie) Devs from my timeline, big question:
If you get a job offer with a very good salary, but in exchange they forbid you to develop games on your free time (due to being a game company), would you accept the offer, or decline it?

I've been having trouble settling on exactly what I want my next project to be, so I'm just gonna start posting prototypes here! That'll be more fun than silence anyway. 8)

I added clouds today!
They exist entirely within the sky shader, which feels right for DitherDream, and I think they look quite nice already! They really help anchor the scene in just a little bit of reality that I think was missing before.
They'll be in the next update in a few weeks!
