Sometimes #gamedev is about how well you can patch up holes! We just encountered a doozy that we "temporarily" fixed using some box colliders haha! #indiedeveloper

We are only a couple of reviews away from Sky Squadron moving up the algorithms on #steam ! If you’ve picked it up, it would be awesome if you could leave us a (hopefully positive) review, it would mean the world to us! #reviews #indiedev #gamedev #VR

If you enjoy me not tweeting on Twitter, you can now also enjoy me not tooting on mastodon @jamesbowling@mastodon.gamedev.place
It says something about how low the parenting bar is for being a Dad that I just got a “Worlds Best Dad” achievement in #SomervilleGame for cleaning up after my kid. This was just closing a couple of drawers. I hate getting a pat on the head for basic parenting skills.
