I made a Steam Revenue Calculator and wrote an Article since most calculators are worthless and intransparent. E.g. you can calculate your break even sales numbers and see if they are realistic to achieve. #gamedev #indiedev #gamebusiness #steam #taxes

I am now trying to untangle this URP grass shader into reusable sub-graphs. Wish me luck.
This is a shader for my grass mowing system. Regrow, flatten, cutting, flow in wind. All in one shader.

My plant grow simulation finally comes together! Working on this on the side for my garden simulation game. Actually ingame this is not supposed to grow in realtime, but it could!

Sometimes it is worth to look backwards if you can't see a horizon in front of you. I am amazed how much progress we made so far!
I was unsure about the core direction of the game but am now convinced that a #deckbuilding #citybuilder is exactly what CityPunk has to be.

After a long time of finding a suitable prototype I can proudly announce our new Project CityPunk, a vertical city-building puzzle game! We aim for a smooth blend of relaxing gameplay and strategic depth all set in a vibrant neon cyberpunk universe.
Stay tuned! #unity #indiedev #gamedev #cozygame

WIP of the Cyberpunk Vertical City Building Game.
We made some early blockouts and are unsure where we should go, fill out as much space as possible or leave some room?
Of course various infrastructure elements will be generated inbetween blocks. #gamedev #indiedev #unity #gameart #3dart

Recently I defended Unity and blamed 3rdParty tools for constant crashes. I was right, it was the RIVE UI plugin. I don't want to bash them, bugs happen, especially when we update engines. But avoiding 3rdParty tools has safed me so much trouble in the past! #unity #unreal #godot #gamedev #indiedev
February 13, 2026 at 2:41 PM
Don't always blame the engine, I think the main issue people have with their projects crashing are fishy (third party) scripts. #Unity has it's flaws, but I can't even remember the last crash I had before I jumped into this project of a customer, which does it always. #gamedev

Some devs still use simple text editors and no propper IDEs and I think that is a mistake. Even the basic autofill suggestions can safe you 30mins per day just by completing lines like these. Testing and debugging becomes so much more productive. #visualstudio #vscode #programming #gamedev #ide

Do you remember the "Make MMO" button that we joked about in game engine communities? I wonder how long it will take to be a reality with agentic AI. I don't mind how good or bad it might be, but the fact that it will finally exist produces mixed feelings. #gamedev #AI #indiedev #unity #unreal

Whether this decission was legit, studio heads who can't work together with their employees should step down or not even start that business. It's hard to make game dev work, but it's easier if you make it work for everyone involved. Yet Ubisoft is not known for good team building. #gamedev

Ubisoft closes Halifax studio weeks after workers vote to unionize
Workers at the Canadian studio voted to unionize in December in search of security in an era of 'studio closures, layoffs, and increasing instability.'

Working with two #Unity projects (20GB of assets each) and merging a sub-project into main while the core team is actively developing. I migrate folder by folder and occasionally rebase onto main while I tidy up. The .meta files do their job and GUIDs stay intact.

Nothing spikes user frustration faster than a UI that won’t let them click. Even a barely visible shadow can ruin everything.
Fix: Put the shadow or background graphic on a separate layer that doesn’t block pointer events.

Nearly a year ago I prototyped a grass shader. Now the grass reacts to mowing, footsteps, and object pressure. Basically there’s just a simple brush system behind it and a lot of shader nodes. Maybe it becomes a cozy garden-sim someday…
