My whole saturday has been trying to softly move our two cats back home. First cat went fine, the shy one is much much harder to move. 😰

@llamasoft_ox some people will always try an exert power - and denounce others trying to do the same to them. Anarchy often too close to unregulated tyrany.

#spillkonvent is starting, the Norwegian Game Industry convention. - probably most Norwegian devs are on bluesky or somethn, but anyhow - here’s to all of us Norwegian devs in the fediverse.

Hey all, I'm looking for work in the CG industry. Primarily, my experience is Blender, but I'm ok with Max and Maya too and have used pretty much every render engine there is.

I'm a generalist, but if I had specialities, they'd be geometry nodes/procedural modelling and FX as well as materials.
I also have a lot of experience creating educational content.

Looking for full-time or flexible part-time. Rates negotiable.

Credits rolling on this wonderful game - Toad Treassure Tracker. Really good game too for teaching analog stick control and camera control. Some levels are annoying but most are chill puzzles.

"If you're reading this message, chances are you know Stingray, and know that our friend recently passed away. We in Scoopex wish to make a suitable dedication to Stingray, and we realise that he had many friends on the Amiga scene that would also like to get involved. We're planning a Message Box style Amiga demo for release 22 June as a Memorial Book, and we encourage everyone who knew him to email stingray@scoopex1988.org with a message you'd like shown. It's best if you keep it short, say 5 to 80 words or so, and please provide your (scene/forum/real) name."

Sketching in some more details, busting a line through the outer walls of the park now that there's skateable surroundings, and blocking the shipwreck.

@danedeasy did not know this trick! 👌

Found this old picture I took from a "hype talk" , I believe at Nordic Game in 2019
- I guess the answer to that question is : "In no meaningful way at all".

I AM COW.🐮

I think my cat is worried playtime is going away

It was so fun being in line for the midnight launch of #switch2 , it just makes it visible who we make games for - and the joy we game developers bring to people. And thank you #Nintendo for all the joy you have brought, and all the hours of .. ehm,. study material.

Mastadon is going full strength now that I have subbed to the #switch2 hashtag. Launch day energy! I have bought welcome tour because I want to study its progression and reward design++, and I have to say, it is stellar. Should have been bundled though, but I got to use my leftover Nintendo gold coins for a discount so I payed 1£

I am going home to play welcome tour.

The U.K.'s Daily Telegraph newspaper has periodically published sob stories about families who can't afford to support their lavish lifestyle due to various government initiatives such as taxing school fees, but the latest took the biscuit. Journalist Georgina Fuller reported on a family who earned £345,000 (U.S.$468,000) a year and were now down to just five annual vacations. But all was not as it seemed. Photos of investment banker Al Moy, his wife, also a banker, also named Al(exandra) were from stock libraries, and no trace of either could be found on the internet. The same goes for their children, Al(i), Harry, and Barry. Satirical website The Poke collated the responses of social media sleuths to the story, which has now been taken down. The consensus? It was AI generated.

@GDCPresoReviews also the talk about dialog/world-response in Firewatch references the left4dead talk - and lots of games have similar systems, so quite an influential talk.

@GDCPresoReviews i really liked this talk and it influenced what I am working on currently a lot. Did not know about the 2005 talk. Will have to give that a look. 👍

@jds hey, nice to meet you! You worked on the tony hawk games? Cheapskate looks like fun! Would be fun to compare combo/goals systems at some point!

Stoked that Skate City New York got a nomination in the Apple Design Awards under the «interaction category». A whole team effort, but especially Daniel Zeller who made most of the original Skate City deserved a shout in addition to colleaguea at Agens and partners at Snowman! 😎
