I’ll likely delete this account soon. I’m around on Bluesky a bit and very rarely on Mastodon. I still barely post, but come find me there if you want to connect again. Same username.

Glad to be able to work on this last year with Corey and Draknek. I can’t stress enough how clever the puzzles are and how satisfying it is to solve them. The DLC is familiar and yet challenging in new and creative ways and there’s more coming. Go get it!

If you never played Bonfire Peaks, you really should. It's a stylish clever puzzle game that constantly creates satisfying "ah-ha" moments. If you DID play it, you should grab the DLC for even more of those moments. Grateful to work with Corey again to help on the PSX releases.

Didn't I just tweet yesterday? Two days in a row?!? Is twitter broken?
Not yet. But while we're all branching out, you can follow my game dev musings here: mastodon.gamedev.place/@buzz…
I like the hyperfocus on game dev there so far. I'm still watching the train wreck here though.

Never seen them and the lighting show looks interesting. Seems worth a drive down to Brooklyn.

Game Devs - Any books you recommend for those new to the industry? I feel tech books become outdated - though biz, design, and art are constantly evolving too. After 17y in games I should have resources I would point to, but I don't. I'd love recent stuff, but old faves good too.

I feel like they could raise the price and bundle in some games or store credit (Beat Saber is included for the next 4 months) - but a $100 increase when money is so tight does not seem like "moving the VR industry forward".
26 Jul 2022
In order to continue investing in moving the VR industry forward for the long term, we are adjusting the price of Meta Quest 2 headsets to $399.99 (128GB) and $499.99 (256GB) starting on 8/1/22.

This runs beautifully on my 4k monitor on my 1080Ti. It's mesmerizing. I only wish it had a better sky. I may have to hunt something down.

Had to post my notes on the Gigaya cancellation - figured it was best to share it on the #unity3d #unity forums where it has a chance to be seen by Unity itself. Needless to say, I'm definitely annoyed with their unwillingness to finish their sample game. forum.unity.com/threads/intr…

Remember how I tried to be positive about a thing @unitygames was doing? Apparently during their large round of layoffs this week, the entire team working on their new sample game Gigaya was laid off. I'm more concerned about the future of #unity3d now than I have ever been :-/

Unity is so close here. They are actually going to release this "sample game" on Steam. Steam being by far the easiest place to release is still missing a massive chunk of launching a full game, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

A good friend just released a fun lemmings inspired game. I've played his builds over the years and it's been fun to watch become a shipped product. Grab the Xbox version today or Wishlist the upcoming Steam version.

There's my game on the top of the new games list in the Xbox store! Coming to Steam right after Next Fest in a couple weeks. Very exciting! #Xbox #indiegame

There were several times during the porting process that I had to tell @Draknek how great this game is. The new Hint system is fantastic for when you get stumped as you get further into the game. You really need to play this game if you haven't.
19 May 2022
A Monster’s Expedition has a new Hint Update on all platforms, helping you get unstuck or finish exploring every part of the game.
The game is also out RIGHT NOW on PS4 and PS5 with porting help from @Buzzjive!

From Unity Entities 0.50 documentation:
...we will recommend Entities 1.0 specifically to seasoned game creators who have the experience of having previously shipped a Unity title.
Yet another reason why Unity should actually ship games on their own game engine. #unitytips
