After some deliberation I decided to move my development stack from Windows to Linux.

I've been using windows for over 20 years and always loved it's backwards compatibility and stuff, but recently it has become borderline unusable and gets in the way of my work.

It took me like a single day to configure everything and it just works, and also works better than Windows too! I posted a thread of my reasoning and experience on BS (sorry):

2d Keyart of our game TRAILS. A white sailing ship with a turquoise sail is moving over the dunes of a stylized desert, leaving a dust trail behind it. The red mountains in the background are lit by a setting sun. The logo "TRAILS" is set in front of the sun.

I'm now confident enough to show off my new app Chimeful 😏
Create "Chimes" that regularly remind you to take a short break, refocus on your current task or anything else that needs reminding. Chimes have individually adjustable scheduling rules.
It was especially designed for people with #ADHD who tend to get lost in thought and need to be brought back to the present moment.
TestFlight open now, any feedback is welcome!

4 days until our 4th annual jam! Games for blind Gamers!

This is my all time favorite jam, I've met amazing people, learned a lot about accessibility, became a better programmer, and I'm super happy that I'm helping run it this year!

If you have time, consider joining! It's a month long chill jam where if all you can do is an afternoon one Saturday, you're as welcome as anyone and we'd be honored to have you!

Making blind accessible video games has been truly life changing, and it all started with making a game for a blind accessible game jam. I learned so much about accessibility, met wonderful people, was exposed to video games made in new and wonderful ways, and felt inspired in new ways to be creative. So that's why I help a yearly jam all about blind accessibility in video games, and I genuinely hope anyone reading this considers joining. itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-ga… #indiedev #Blind #gaming

An article just went up on Eurogamer talking about the Periphery Synthetic game and the state of game accessibility for both blind gamers and blind developers. It features comments from many respected blind consultants and developers including @talon, @shaysters and yours truely. I think it's totally worth a read because it covers the topic from multiple angles very well eurogamer.net/periphery-synthe… #GameAccessibility #GameDev #IndieDev

I WILL NOT SIGN the "Stop Killing Videogames" petition and if you're a game developer with half a braincell left in you, you should not as well.

It is a poorly written attempt at a petition by someone who seems to have no idea that games exist outside of AAA/online-only ones.

And it's a shame because I am 100% behind video game preservation, but this petition is so poorly written, I will actually fight against it.

I explained why it's bad on B: bsky.app/profile/sosowski.bsky…

Where should I put my game's discussion forum? Steam? TIGSource? Reddit? My own site?

(For more details, here's a Reddit post with the same question that I just posted. reddit.com/r/IndieGaming/comme… I'm too lazy to make it into a thread here on Mastodon, sorry.)

To all the indie devs out there:

In case you didn't know, I make open source indie games for the blind and visually impared. This means I need high quality sound effects. I'm wondering if any of you fine people have good resources on finding creative commens, and similar, freely usable sound effects that I could put in the repo with my code? I'd love to learn more about that.

For the record, I know about freesound.org, and have even used them on occasion, but finding anything remotely useable on there can be a chore and a half. Contrasted to the simple search and filtering on something like, say, audio jungle. Tips would be greatly appreciated!

Please #boost if you have any game dev following... Thanks!

Does anyone here have Linux? Specifically maybe Ubuntu?

If so, could you install the Playtest of my game Rocket (Not the Demo, just the Playtest), and see if it works in your Linux?

Really appreciate the help, thanks!

Today I've done some solid progress on the #Liblast character refactor! I've laid out basic decoupled Character → HUD interfacing. I've created a global way to manage the currently followed character (Character's camera and HUD watch for changes and update their stuff accordingly). I've also used @Xantulon 's first person hands model as a better placeholder :D I've created a bunch of new classes for tracking Character state (health, team, score) and damage.
