I've been #writing a lot lately. I have one #manuscript I'm trying to #publish traditionally, and a second I'm working on to self publish in the same world. Should I go ahead and post to sites like #Inkitt and Royal Road while it's a work in progress?

Why are spam invoices always "Geek Squad"? Can't they be a little more creative?

XKCD seems to have predicted large language models going off the rails: xkcd.com/1354/ #AI #ChatGPT

I've released my first 3D model! It's a low poly bowling set, with the entire design being under 2000 vertices. turbosquid.com/3d-models/low-… #3dmodeling #lowpoly #Blender #gamedev #indiedev #bowling

I just created a low-poly game-ready bowling lane, including ball and pin. Should I release this? It would come with the ball, lane, guard, pin, and the structure for the pin deck as well as textures. #3dmodeling #gamedev #indiedev #Blender #design

I launched a tutorial blog today! The first one up is on Bubble Shooters, and comes complete with demo and assets: hexquill.wordpress.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #development

I have a longer programming tutorial that I was intending on posting to Medium, but they apparently discourage anything over four minutes, let alone ten or split into parts. Can anyone suggest an alternative platform? #IndieDevs #gamedev #gamedeveloper

Would anyone be interested in this? I created a system to build dynamic 2D/3D grids, with relative positioning, and put together several demos for it: storage.geeklicense.com/matchforge/ youtube.com/watch?v=sp7P_8… #indiedev #gamedev #gamedeveloper #unity3d

What the heck? Codepen's new "Pro" system is getting very annoying, very fast. You think they'd know better, with direct access to the things people put on it. #developers #webdev

Hey @pizzahut - I haven't received any updates, and I still can't place any web orders. I'd really like to not make a new account just to do so, and no previous suggestions have worked. The site shouldn't be "optimized" for just Chrome for any diagnostic step to work either.

It's been hard to not program this week, but it's finally Ludum Dare time! I've been avoiding creating something related to games and relaxing to prep for the weekend! #ludumdare #gamejam #indiedev #developers

I'm getting ready to release a plugin for Unity that provides classes and methods for grid-based action games. I'm a little bit stuck though - should I package it with demos, or sell the demos separately the way Surge does it? #gamedev #indiedev

I've been working on a little system in Unity. It provides a set of three classes to make different game types though it's still a work in progress - here's the demo: storage.geeklicense.com/matchforge/ All three games are actually nearly identical in code. #gamedev #unity3d
