I designed and 3D printed Elk teeth. If 3D printers become a common household tool in the future, I hope designers will create things for people to download and print so they can use them in their art, crafts, and regalia. Insourcing design and production will eliminate the need to order materials online or buy them from a trading post or craft store.

How I designed the Elk teeth:

Who was looking forward to the second devlog for my survival game? Nobody? I don't blame you. It's a train wreck. I'm going to take a step back and learn more of the basics before I try to tackle such an ambitious project.

You've all been waiting for the update on my survival game. Here you go! It's a mess! I would have just left the progress untold but I felt that the project ...

Want to check out the game I'm working on? Here's the link to the first devlog. It's terrible. The player gravity behaves like a motorcycle. The rabbit is derpy. Camera collisions are terrible. Eating food and drinking only work half the time. I still love it though! Any help would be appreciated. Click the link to find me on Discord and other social media platforms. :)

I finally got my Arduino working. It's not as intimidating as I thought it would be. I look forward to learning more and building some amazing things. 🙂

If you're looking for inspiration to reclaim your health while simultaneously supporting an indie developer, try my app. It allows you to keep track of how long you've been fasting, set a fasting goal, and provides resources on the health benefits of different types of fasting.

Fasting has been and still is being practiced by cultures all over the world. I've always been aware of fasting your prayer and ceremony, but only recently have I added it to my regular self-care habits. The results have been amazing.

Don't forget to try my "Bears with Bad Hygiene" game too! :)

This was my first time using PlayerPrefs in Unity. Thanks to Wayra Codes and his High Score tutorial on YouTube, I was able to create a high score feature, and also understand how it all works in the script.

I'm working on a fasting timer. Fasting is a vital part of native health and wellness so I wanted to make a very simple app to help track fasting time.

I'm learning how to create dialogue in Unity thanks to Brackeys and Blackthornprod on YouTube. None of my three demos are perfect and I still have lots to understand, but I feel much less intimidated when it comes to creating dialogue for my games.

Sorry it took so long for an update. I've been busy with other things. I realized I have no idea how to program so making a RPG is unreasonable. I'm going to take a step back and take time to learn programing and learn Unity more before I start making actual games again.

There are also some social and political issues with native representation, so I need to rethink how to make my games both accurate, educational, and not politically sensitive.

This is an open world MMO sim game that had the potential to facilitate thriving online communties. Let's hope the gameplay is as amazing as the beautiful art.

Singularity 6 has announced Palia, a new Stardew Valley MMO by developers from Blizzard, Epic, and Riot.

Blizzard 2.0 is coming! A lot of the old top-tier developers from Blizzard have quit and formed their own game studios after Activision took over and started ruining the integrity of Blizzard's game development. Game design should be focused around the player, not around financial incentive.

Frost Giant Studios has teamed up on an advisory basis with Mike Morhaime's Dreamhaven, and it is licensing Unreal Engine 5 from Epic.

Hello everyone! Just sharing the game I made. Feel free to give it a try. It's similar to the NES Mario. Jump on the enemy's heads to kill them, don't fall off the platform, and reach the flag at the end to complete the level.

Sorry but it's not available for iOS. Apple makes it very difficult to publish third party programs on their app Store.

This is a supertrope for any way that designers communicate things to players using level design. This is Show, Don't Tell style stuff, techniques you can use to inform players without having to bore them with text. Often, instructive level …

Chris Metzen helped create the Starcraft and Warcraft universes, so people have high expectations of him. I think it's safe to say he exceeded expectations! This looks awesome!

Warchief Gaming launched its first tabletop sourcebook today on Kickstarter.
