Grumpy old developers who spend their days sitting behind chunky desks filled with vintage toys, turning coffee, cake and vitamin supplements into great games.

Welcome to Summer Vale Farm! Things are getting a little more complex. This farm has Ducks and Chickens too, aren't they lovely? Unfortunately, Ducks are picky and won't sit in a Chicken nest, Chickens don't like Duck nests either!

@Chavenham The games work with newer generations for the same reason they worked originally. They've not lost what made them fun in the first place - the only issue really are the problems with being able to play them. Emulators and/or original hardware aren't easy for most.

@xoxoGiGiRip Make sure there's not a non compete clause hidden in that NDA. I've seen a number of games companies trying that one on recently.

@DeTomPlays Most genuine game developers are great, not everyone however is a genuine game developer. :)

@BeanJuiceStudio I started making games in the mid eighties, there wasn’t any path throught education back then for this stuff.

[_dareDev @_dareDev]

@BeanJuiceStudio We're getting to the point where you have more of a chance at engineering a MMO than making a game in a saturated genre a success.

@DeTomPlays Well, I've been at this for a while. 🤣

For the most part, Streamers are all pretty cool people. Most of them just love games which is always something that's great to encounter.

I think they're cracking down on bots and engagement farming on here soon?

@DeTomPlays My lot come from a naval background, not posh enough for the RAF. 😊

[_dareDev @_dareDev]

@DeTomPlays These days? A Zzap!64 reviewer once said he wanted to smash the joystick through the screen when reviewing one of my 8bit games. :D

I try to engage with streamers, it's healthy. Everyone is just doing a job in this loop after all and deserves kindness and respect.

@DeTomPlays I'm a naval nut, so there's also a bit of naval history in there too.

@DeTomPlays Company creation rather than my personal inception date. :D

[_dareDev @_dareDev]

@DeTomPlays Developers have fairly thick skins, so are forgiving of the odd slip up here and there. :)

I the past, we could to speak with games mag's staff and get feedback, while it wasn't always pretty, it was there and helped. Now, streamers pretty much seal themselves off from dev's.

@games_rozz You could be honest and diplomatic? 😊

Framing even something unpleasant in a non-confrontational way isn't dishonest after all.

[_dareDev @_dareDev]

@Ahwhwh2740394 That it's just like playing games.

[_dareDev @_dareDev]

@LikeToBeBossy Most of my friends are dev's - so you learn how to present feedback in a neutral fashion. Like most things, it's not what you're saying, it's how its said.

@sensational965 Marketing for obvious reasons. 🙂

@Lizzergas Put a bounding volume around your world segments and only allow the player to zoom out to that boundary. This way you can have different zoom levels based on the size of the segment.

@Berna7224 Trying to support and pass information on. 😊

@TheGingerPerks I caught a little of it - looked like a visually quite interesting game.
