We just launched a new cozy game! 🦊🦊🦊

If anyone is cool to share, I would be mega appreciative!!

It's called Piece by Piece, and it's a cozy repair shop game where you fix broken items for woodland folk :)

[Tom C W @imtomcw]

After launching Piece By Piece yesterday, we're #1 on New & Trending!! An absolute mix of excitement and chaos happening right now, and again thank you to everyone who's played the game, shared it and supported us through all this, really means a lot to our little squad!

【ニュース】Steamで「まったく同じ名前のゲーム」が“ほぼ同時に”リリースされる珍事発生。担当者らもびっくり、仲良くなってバンドル販売へ

Two unrelated indie games, both named Piece by Piece, launched on Steam just one day apart.

Instead of conflict, the teams turned the coincidence into a collaboration and released a combined "Piece by Piece Double" bundle that offers both games together at a ten percent discount.

【珍事】全く同じ名前のゲームが1日違いで発売される

カナダのインディースタジオと、イギリスのスタジオがそれぞれPiece by PieceというゲームをSteamでリリース

→しかも発売日がたった1日違いだったことが発覚

→ 話題になり両社のスタッフが集結

→ カナダスタジオ側は有名パブリッシャーと被ったと知り最初は相当焦ったと告白

→ しかし相手側は「歓迎」、一緒に大笑いして和解

→ Piece by Piece Doubleとして2本セットのバンドルを共同販売することに決定

ゲーム業界タイトル被りといえば法的問題に発展するケースも珍しくない中、こんな結末になるとは誰も予想していないほっこりニュース

A question for my freelancer coder friends, where do you usually go to find jobs? #gamedev

[Kenneth Azcurra @KennethDevelops]

@TheJackyMartin This would be very helpful for the community, also to understand what a Publisher would normally agree on given certain factors such as company portfolio, current market opportunities, etc

[Kenneth Azcurra @KennethDevelops]

@IndieBandits money, finishing a game, and marketing

[Kenneth Azcurra @KennethDevelops]

@ThomasStewartW I had an issue years ago trying to explain this to a very advanced student but I think he felt like I was discouraging him when I just wanted to explain that sometimes in games it doesn't make sense to spend so much time refactoring something it already works (and well, even)

[Thomas Stewart 🎮 @ThomasStewartW]

Programmers make the worst game devs.

We are perfectionists who over-emphasize the importance of code structure.

Yeah, that’s useful in large enterprise situations, but not for indie games.

Games that actually launch have sloppy code.

@maxy_dev Inception! Now there's no cream. I swear one day you'll say good morning with cream on your hand and no cup haha

@ThomasStewartW No work = no money = no coffee. Therefore, want coffee? need money, need work. Perfect motivation formula

@BobbeDev @maxy_dev he ran out of coffee haha

As a way to encourage the younger generation to try out programming, most of the keywords in C# have been permanently renamed.

This should increase the amount of younger game developers coming the next few years.
