One of the best things about building your own apps or running side projects, is you can literally ship a cool OKLCH gradient in your components

Hey devs, We are a small, family-run publisher based in Switzerland. We are currently looking for PC games to publish this autumn, as well as for 2027 and beyond. We'd love to see your projects!

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.

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.

Been a long time since I posted anything remotely design related on here - trying to get back into the swing of it!

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).🤔
hey @rossplaskow is it possible to just run/chain timelines in a row in rive? This seems to just play the second animation constantly:

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. 🤷♂️

#PitchYaGame Video Trailer Tips:
🔹> 2m (but not super long)
🔹Cut straight to gameplay / meat
🔹Blend logo over top of gameplay footage
🔹Throw in a "hook"
🔹Thumbnail shows footage (not blank on preview!)
🔹Include Audio + Transcriptions
Winning! 🏁
Did I miss anything? 🫡
This thread is absolute gold for #worldbuilding and game design.

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