Hi! I'm a long time gamer who always wanted to make games, so now I'm following @GameDevTV courses to learn and build my own game ideas with blender and unity. If anyone wants to say hi or suggest someone to follow, please let me know! #gamedev #unity #gamedevelopment

@_akseliv @DevLand95213410 I'm looking forward to trying this!

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@_akseliv That looks like a nightmare!

@VideoGameiacs Hi! I'm at the beginning of all this and learning to create games. I'm going to complete my first game soon, it's a 2D platform game made in unity where you play as the Easter bunny. It's pretty rough, but it's playable and fun, which is plenty for me right now 👾

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@MRay_Games Sometimes, yes. I like having games of different lengths, but often it feels easier to pick up a shorter game when I'm busy.

@gaminginthewild This was basically standard for box art in the 80s/90s. They did usually put some photos of actual in game graphics on the box somewhere though, which I think is fair to customers.

I'm back blogging, this time writing about something I find fascinating - time and turns in games. #gamedev

@_akseliv I think I'm stuck because I didn't collect enough of the shields to get though a door, I have two and I think I need four

@piros_dev @thekitze I just checked my domains on Google and it says they're being transferred to Squarespace at some point. I'm not sure what that will mean for the pricing, but Google was great while it lasted. Thanks for the info!

@LzyIndTky I'm seeing this all over x. On my recipe account I'm seeing people post pictures of lemons or cheese graters with "what is this?" And getting huge amounts of replies. Fair enough if people like this, but it's a mystery to me what's appealing. Maybe they're just easy distractions?

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@piros_dev @thekitze Google is £10 a year I think, so that's been my choice for a few years now, are they even cheaper than that?

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@KenneyNL It's always been weird to me that sometimes players complain about the engine. I just play the game and go with meaningful questions like am I having fun?

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@_akseliv I played more! It definitely gets tougher, I like the dodging and timing going on to get though screens. I'm not sure what happens next from here, I'm just at a wall?

@thatstraw I used Linux for about 20 years and loved it. The thing is, I'm busier now and windows has sorted out the problems that made me go to Linux. I'm finding it very stable now, and it has the biggest compatible software/games library, which is a big incentive to use it.

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@UnityCodeMonkey Thank you, that is what I will do then!

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@_akseliv I've been playing it this evening and having fun. Love the music. I'm not sure what I should do at this point though? Does the game continue from here or am I at the end of the demo?

[Ben Hardy @game_dev_ben]

@Friedemann_A Yeah, that's pretty accurate to some of them 😂
