I'm working on a new (free) interactive dialogue creation tool called Samwise. It provides a VSCode extension that allows you to write and test dialogues on the fly. shorturl.at/2AeS0 #gamedev #vscode #unity #gamedesign

To the lads out there who think plagiarizing art is bad while plagiarizing entire codebases is ok.

For many of us, making games was a way to create a meaningful connection with the rest of the world, to prove beyond doubt we could achieve something difficult, to live an adventure through creation. We are moving toward a world in which making a game means absolutely nothing.

#neverforget the time the actor playing the creepy Nazi in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK was missing for this shot, so they just balanced a fuckin BLACK HAT on the seat and hoped nobody would notice. #moviemagic

Amazing stuff I never noticed before: the game One Must Fall 2097 - just another awesome game nobody never talks anymore - was basically created by a 24yo solo dev in 18 months (Rob Elam.). What a beast!
