Lost my job. (LFW) Started cooking up a Sci-Fi game alone. Seven months in, this is Riftwalker. If you want to support the journey, $10 will get you early access to the build when it's ready. https://t.co/98A9kdgaa7

I don’t have millions in funding. I’m a solo dev. A dad. A husband. I’m building this with everything I have. If you love The Mandalorian, Dune, and Max Payne, I’m making this game for you. Wishlist on Steam https://t.co/JhAKRRr2jA Support the journey https://t.co/98A9kdgaa7

Slightly concerned I'm being buried on here of late; reasons unknown. 🥹 In case I am, can I ask all #GameDev spread the word and make sure to smash it when #PitchYaGame goes live November 1st. 🙏 Please & Thank you! 🫡 Might need co-announcements (if anyone's willing).🤔

Decided to do something useful: whipped up a quick Internet Site for all the Unity folks who now want to learn Unreal and don't know where (or whether) to start because it's daunting as hell. https://t.co/dWOhACumZ8

I was having the typical design problem where the player can't interact with the NPC merchant if he is far away and absent-minded on the other side of the bar. After thinking about several solutions (hidden triggers, events by proximity, etc) I ended up putting a buzzer. 🤷♂️

This thread is absolute gold for #worldbuilding and game design.
The ongoing game & virtual cities design thread starts here. So, well, 🕹️🌆 🧵: - Try to steal from and be inspired by real-life urbanism, architecture, and engineering. Reality and history are packed with fascinating cities.

Exceptional piece by @doctor_oxford today in @guardian
@RishiSunak & @SteveBarclay are hiding in plain sight. They ignored our call for parliamentary recall. Make no mistake, this is a deliberate and systemic demolition of our National Health Service. https://t.co/sJ3UEvxoNx

Two months ago Liz Truss said the prospect of rising mortgage rates due to borrowing was “project fear”. We’ve kept the receipts. #WhereIsLizTruss
