Hey #indie #gamedevs, what do people think about open source (non-profit) projects in this era? I have a unique concept for a Bronze Age RPG I've been working on, but know it isn't feasible for a solo project or tiny team without funding. Are open source community projects even still feasible? 🤔

Hot #indie #gamedev take: if you want to stand out, stop forcing yourself to blend in. For example you want to make a fantasy ARPG, forget medieval Europe, all those stories have been told ten thousand times, look to the Bronze Age, forgotten civilizations, there are new stories waiting to be told.

My latest Apply DBuffer decal method in #UE5. Put a lot of effort into this one experimenting with different ways to blend, but with just a few changes to the default function this is easy to achieve. Textures are very low res and use breakup noise or SDF sharpening. Grunge mask/normal from Quixel.

I'm considering porting my Untitled Mars Game from UE5 to #Godot. 🤔 I understand the tradeoffs, UE5 has been amazing, no problem with Epic, but the desire to explore the wild open source frontier is tempting. This was made in a week, tree from a friend, optimized megascans, all shaders from scratch.

Posted by @deanhall.bsky.social on reddit, anyone using #Unity needs to take a serious look at what is going on. This is a direct threat to hundreds (thousands?) of studios and tens of thousands of indie developers with games built on Unity.

It is incredible how morally bankrupt the tech industry is. The latest trends in AI are mostly catch phrases without meaning or purpose, but don't think for a second they don't intend to take all our jobs. And we're expected to be... excited about it?

Quixel Megascans, the ubiquitous enemy of the texture pool. Slay this beast with in editor texture packing! Several texture packing plugins are available on the marketplace, but I built my own for this specific use case with advanced options.

It is nice to see more experienced graphics programmers adopting #Godot. I've stayed away in large part because even as an experienced technical artist it can be quiet limiting, and I'm simply much faster in any other engine. Next year I have a small scale concept that might be perfect for Godot.

Why the hell are most games so similar? There is so much untapped potential, especially in story telling, existing cultures and historical settings for inspiration. Yet, looking at the industry you would think players like buying the same clones over and over. I know why, and am very against it.

There is a lot of missinformation going around regarding one of UE5's flagship features, Nanite. Gamers and even devs either think it is a silver bullet, or causing poor performance, a problem I think Epic have made worse by statements like (to paraphrase) "Nanite should be used on everything".
