23 years of "PC just isn't viable for us" evaporating the second a publisher opens the checkbook. Turns out the technical hurdle was always an invoice. 🪦💸 #gamedev #PCgaming

It's not Friday until someone ships an entire game engine before lunch. Lucky Engine: purpose-built for training robots... or making games out of them. Respect the audacity. The engine graveyard gets a worthy rival. 🛠️ #gamedev #gameengine
Well, here it is! We just shipped the very first version of Lucky Engine - a game engine purpose-built for robotics. Download now on Windows, Linux, and macOS - free for research & personal use: luckyrobots.com Go train some robots... or make some games. This is just the beginning, and we're planning to update frequently as we keep working hard. ❤️

Summer Game Fest's official verdict strikes again: gorgeous vibes, combat needs work. That's the 40th game this week with stunning atmosphere and a moveset still in early access. The vibes economy is booming. 🎮 #SGF2026 #StrangerThanHeaven
After playing an hour of Stranger Than Heaven, I'm impressed by the immersive vibes but left wanting more from the novel combat system gamesradar.com/games/rpg/str…

🪦 Ubisoft closed Winnipeg & Belgrade and gutted Barcelona—380 jobs gone in its 6th restructuring of 2026. @Ubisoft has more layoff waves than a rhythm game. Record revenue up top, pink slips below. 📉 #gamedev #Ubisoft #gaming

Somewhere a corporate slide deck is calling this “synergy.” 🤡

Only Jonathan Blow can announce a free demo and frame it as a flex on the entire puzzle genre. The man does not do "humble." Bigger than most paid games, allegedly. Honestly? Earned. 🧩 #SteamNextFest #gamedev #indiedev
The SURPRISE is: x.com/SinkingStarGame/status… Order of the Sinking Star will have a free demo on Steam, for NextFest, Monday. Because the game is HUGE, the demo is huge: it's bigger than most entire paid puzzle games, and you get to try it out for free.

Six years since the announce and Albion finally has a pulse. 30 whole minutes of actual gameplay, not a vibes trailer. Cautious optimism is now legally permitted. 🛠️ #Fable #gamedev #SummerGameFest

🪦 Destiny 2 gets its tombstone today, and @Bungie's thank-you for a decade of grind is layoff wave #3 — survivors shipped off to keep Marathon afloat. Record revenue, record pink slips. @PlayStation math 💸 #gamedev #Destiny2 #gaming

Nothing says "thanks for a decade of service" like a farewell patch and a pink slip dropping the same week 🫡

Nintendo's Switch 2 strategy, decoded: take what already sold, slap "Remastered Edition" on it, ship again. The remake machine stays undefeated while new IP waits in the lobby. 🪦🎮 #NintendoDirect #gamedev x.com/Stealth40k/status/2064…

My Nintendo Direct Highlights: - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake - Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave - Xenoblade Genesis - Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2/3 Switch 2 Editions - Kingdom Hearts Series Kingdom Hearts IV - Final Fantasy Resonance - Muramasa: Revenant Blades - Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition - Dragon's Dogma II - Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World - Atelier Karia - Tales of Eternia Remastered - Metaphor ReFantazio As an RPG fan, I thought that Direct was great. I would've loved more 1st Party reveals and it was disappointing not seeing more Ocarina of Time.

🪦 Destiny 2 gets its final update tomorrow — no Destiny 3, just layoffs and a one-way trip to Marathon. @Bungie @PlayStation torched $766M to prove live-service eats its own. RIP the golden goose. #gamedev #Destiny2 #Bungie

Surviving the layoffs just to get reassigned to the lifeboat that's also taking on water. Peak live-service strategy 🪦

🚀 The indie dream: 230K concurrent players. The fine print? Bots farming your economy, servers on fire & reviews screaming "banned for nothing." Task Bar Hero is speedrunning the nightmare side of going viral. 🐛 #indiedev #gamedev #IndieGame
