@NKCSS That's probably a good way to put it :D

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

Does anyone in my network have real-world experience building and running an MMO, particularly on the backend side? Networking, packaging, data persistence, scaling, all the good stuff. I’d love to connect!

[Ben Dicken @BenjDicken]

Whoah he's right.

As we're wrapping up 2025, it's time for another "Studio & Future Insights" update!

Over 1 million copies sold, plus we have a freshly updated roadmap! 🥳

If the devs in your company are zoned in right now, you're probably behind on AI #cursor

@AWSSupport @_ricbra Also confirming, connection timeout on https://t.co/GV0odqvJKu.

[Matt @mattgamedevguy]

Updated to show that you are only charged once for an active install, not per month.

Surely this isn't a terrible deal?

@TekaSixxRacing It’s only gonna get better, promise! 😁

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

@JustGlennBE I wish :D it’s scam. All requests for Startup Company and always multiple keys.

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

I get more daily emails hitting my "Youtuber requesting 3-5 free Steam keys"-folder than I get in my spam folder. Like... for real. #gamedev

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

@CharliePryor It’s all for Startup Company unfortunately :D It’s scam, any keys will go directly for sale on G2A or similar.

DJ WANTED!

We want to create an in-game radio station for our game "Big Ambitions". If you know someone who can act as radio host (with a New York accent) and can take care of the audio production (we handle the music + licensing), please point them in our direction ❤

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

@levido_games I hope you’re right! 🤞

[Jonas @jhovgaard]

We hit quite a big milestone for Big Ambitions today: Median playtime is now higher (by 4 minutes) than for my first game Startup Company. Finally! #gamedev

[🕹️ Hovgaard Games @hovgaardgames]

Today Big Ambitions reached another milestone: 40,000 wishlists!

For reference, Startup Company had 20,000 on release day.

I'm super proud of the whole team. Next up, 100k! 💪

Thank you everyone for your massive support! ❤

Have you ever felt confused by all the Anti-Aliasing acronyms out there? What are they actually doing to reduce those jaggies on your screen? Here we look at some selected features of FXAA, SSAA, MSAA, and TXAA.

[Joey Lorich @joeylorich]

Idea: An anonymous "vote to end meeting" button where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

@JulianJBall Been following on YouTube for a long time. I’m so curious how well it will perform. My fingers are crossed, it looks gorgeous.
