Go check out @blueoceangames.bsky.social and the challenge they are doing to offer funding to indie developers and teams!

I've got a project in the contest but instead of linking, I'd rather say just go support what you see!
It's DAY 9 of the #RisingTideChallenge

Public voting closes June 17 and some incredible concepts are still flying under the radar. Which trailers do you think have earned their spot in the top 20 submissions?

One week remains to cast your vote. Help validate the visions that could reshape gaming.

Finished my 3 month #unrealengine cyberpunk ninja prototype and proud of how it turned out. My question for the #gamedev community is, do you ever feel like you're "ready" to apply for a job? How can you tell? I feel like I don't know where the bar is for so many positions, even entry level ones.

For #Screenshotsaturday I've got a background piece I've been working on for Nine Card Isle. Currently doing a lighting test to see how it feels before I finish the buildings.

Happy #Screenshotsaturday to us all. Here's the bear in-game with the color variations that can be unlocked and used. He's just so fluffy. (Project: Nine Card Isle)

Animation setup in Spine for the bear. Shoutout to my brother for the incredible work he did here. (Unfortunately, he's not on bsky)

Color pallets for the bear character in Nine Card Isle. I'll throw up the animation setup as well shortly. Drawing and initial pallet by kokuya who did an incredible job on the characters.

Color test for end-of-round score banners. (Game: Nine Card Isle) The goal is to blend from left to right in the different sets as the score goes higher. (Not a good thing in context of the game)

I know it's not just me that does this but... opening a project I took a break from after working on it for 2 1/2 years straight that was "ALMOST DONE" and running it for the first time.

It's the #gamedev / #indiedev life for me.

For #screenshotsaturday I've been whittling away at making UR in #unrealengine.

Deflecting an enemy's laser attack in #UnrealEngine. Taken from a small project I've been working on.
