It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.
There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

How I started making indie games:
Worked in AAA & mobile studios for almost a decade in order to build up £8000* as a safety net so that I could finally feel safe to go freelance and work with indie teams
I always WANTED to indie I just needed the MONEY.

How I started making indie games:
- Wanted to become a game dev as a teen
- Always overscoped
- Had an existential crisis and studied humanities
- Two career changes later, came full circle and work as a programmer
- Game dev has been my most persistent hobby since

In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

During a talk, the speaker calculated how many games he could develop before retiring, given that each one takes three years to create.
Now I'm here, calculating how many #indiegames I'll be able to release in my lifetime.
Please make the games you like, we might not have enough time.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.
We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.
