Things that really peeve me off. Lack of common sense, a billion year old coffin dodgers driving at 5 miles an hour. Neds. Anyone really.

Huh, they're also removing the option to use C++ for gameplay.

Here my out. Valve did this for us. Here's the link to official Valve's Dropbox with templates, ready to use, properly prepared. dropbox.com/scl/fo/cvkwbosmr…
Steam developers -- 🖼 Here's an infographic that shows (most of) the capsules/banners that Steam requires. (Includes an example capsule for Witchmore, my game.) Do you have any tips for making images that fit within the very different image sizes? #MarketingMonday #IndieDev

I built a tool that converts static mesh trees into Nanite skeletal trees with Dynamic Wind, in one click, inside Unreal. Foliage Toolkit Plus is out on Fab 🌳🧵

Games made with tools built on the THEFT of other peoples work SHOULD BE DISCLOSED. Or can we steal everything Epic has made and resell it? @TimSweeneyEpic

Forcing developers to write a political statement to be used against them by the hate mob they’re helping organize is abhorrent.

Timmy, you can host ALL the AI games. @TimSweeneyEpic no one will complain.
There is a real economic cost to Valve’s foray into forced political disclosures. Besides taking 30%, they’re also taking a potentially even larger fraction of developers’ revenue and livelihood by undermining their business with these AI hate campaigns.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Steam requires disclosure of generative AI for player-consumed content via its standard Content Survey (alongside ratings), shown on store pages for transparency, not as political statements. Steam's base 30% revenue share matches major console platforms. partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingsta… eurogamer.net/steam-revises-…

Comrade Musk and Comrade Trump doing their best for Mother Russia.
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Yesterday i asked how you all market your games: i expected 4 comments, but instead over a hundred indie devs showed up. I turned every tip, every number, every "nothing works" into one readable doc: what worked, what flopped, what to do before launch and at launch. It's free ofc, it's for the community, it's for my indie bros who, like me, don't have an idea of how to launch a game. Properly. Thank you all. Seriously. Go wishlist each other's games now. You can download it from the link in the first comment👇

@edfenergy Hello there! One of the reasons I moved from British Gas was because of the less than stellar customer support. Another reason I moved to EDF was that getting a Smart Meter would not be a problem.

So can you tell me what on earth is going on? Why is it seemingly impossible for me to get an appointment to get a smart meter? Lets make a deal, you repay me every single penny I spend on gas and electricity until you install both meters?

That sounds fair to me, like it would be a real incentive for you to get your fingers out of your behinds and do it! Failing that, who do I have to complain to? Offgen? Local MP? God?

Still waiting for that update... I guess the update is in a queue...
Heads-up! 📢 Please prepare to download a new Steam client. Everyone currently in-game will be logged out. When booting back in, you'll be put in the server queue. We'll then let players back into the game in waves to ensure stability.
