Ok! Now that I have a face, I'm ready to say hello :)
Hi Everybody, my name is Edgy, and I'm Technical Director on Hell Is Us.
I like and follow indie and retro games. Canadian Indie Devs get insta follows! 🇨🇦❤️
Too many hobby projects going on at the same time, but trying to manage woodland.

"Isometric games don't exist" is a guide with 40 detailed charts about perspective in videogames.
It teaches you everything about isometry and what all the other game perspectives & projections are and how they work.

I asked a support person at Unity if they were an AI model today because they keep sending me non existent CLI commands. Their answer was:" I understand your frustration, thank you for your feedback"
They probably use an AI to write their emails though, even if human, cuz they sure read like AI.

If you are interested in game preservation, arcade game history, or what could have been the first arcade rhythm game, you should watch Recovered Rhythms, the story of how Jammin' (Atari, 1985, unreleased) was rescued and reconstructed from backup tapes: youtu.be/fyDi5I-12NE?...

With David Rosen's death, bad information about Sega as a company is starting to re-emerge across the internet.
I will try to give a very condensed version of the Sega corporate shenanigans here as to clear some of the air. 🧵

I started Cross stitching just before the holidays.
It is fun and relaxing, and makes you feel productive while watching braindead tv since you're not on your phone.
Made these two so far, working on a third.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

I've been trying to learn FreeCAD to make plans for an arcade, and it's the bane of my existence. I could have sketched the plans in a short time, but instead I've been fighting for hours with a software where nothing is intuitive.

Great box pusher, this!
Played quite a bit, stopped in the Ice World. Found the puzzles there fiendishly hard.
Maybe my brain was getting tired from playing the game non stop for days.
Xmas time is perfect time to try again!

There's plenty of free or cheap fonts out there. I implore you, find something which adds to your game.

I really need to play more of Hell Is Us. It's exactly the kind of polished, slightly offbeat AA game that needs to become the backbone of the industry as AAA crumbles under its own weight.
No Unpacked today since we had an episode out on Monday.
Instead, please take a few minutes to listen to @nickjcal.bsky.social gush about why you should not skip out on Hell Is Us this year.
It's criminal how few reviews it has on Steam.
