For context, Unity once did an open source project called Chop Chop: github.com/UnityTechnol...

If one like it started today, would folks join knowing code and assets could be reused freely? Any concerns?

Question for fellow game developers out there. Would you consider participating in an open source community project if it meant that your contributions were open for everyone else to use? Meaning anyone could freely reuse the code, art, audio, etc submitted to the project commercially or otherwise?

Go check out GOOD INTERNET magazine and support my good friend @binarydigit.city with her first ever magazine contribution. Liz is amazing and just the sweetest human being. Without her support I probably wouldn't be doing game dev or streaming. Keep being awesome!

Almost there! ✨ Thank you for all the support you've given to make the Kenney plushie become reality, we're almost at the goal. If you haven't yet, do consider pledging and supporting free game assets!

15 years ago I uploaded my first game asset to OpenGameArt.org - and I haven’t stopped since! It’s been an incredible journey, all possible thanks to the #gamedev community. Huge thanks to all of you! Here’s to another 15 years of #gameassets! 🥂

I just found out that @ludumdare.com might be back on for April!! I will definitely be trying to participate! Special thanks to @distraction.engineer for all his hard work in putting these together. I don't think I'd be a game dev without dabbling in jams like these. Who else is excited?

My wife is very proud of the jalapeno she grew from seeds my son got from space camp. These seeds actually went to space. "Hallie Peño" will soon become space guacamole 🥑!

This is a great pack! Let @lana-lux.bsky.social know if there is anything you are looking for in the way of additions!
I'm revisiting the 3D asset packs I made a while ago (making new packs and updating old ones).

Does anyone have any requests for new assets for the food / kitchen pack?

It'd be great for any cooking games! 🍗🍌🥕🍩🍕

This is an amazing package and @kenney.bsky.social makes amazing stuff for the game dev community. If you are able I strongly suggest giving him some love and support!
Created some new screenshots to show what you'll be getting when buying Kenney Game Assets All-in-1. It's nearly impossible for me to show everything... there's simply too much content. ✨

If you need help coming up with a 'hypotheses' you shouldn't be a scientist. Every scientist I know has 100 project ideas and lack time to get to them. No on is sitting around twiddling thumbs without an interesting question to ask.

We are in the dumbest timeline.
Need some help with your research? Google's 'AI co-scientist' will come up with hypotheses and research plans for you 🧪

The key to it is "self-play" - a bunch of AI agents arguing among themselves - and the few scientists who've tried it so far seem impressed

Can Google's new research assistant AI give scientists 'superpowers'?
Researchers who have been given access to Google's new AI "co-scientist" tool are enthusiastic about its potential, but it isn't yet clear whether it can make truly novel discoveries
