The development of this game will take a lot of time, this year will put it on pause a bit, because in March I decided to make a simpler game first, by the end of the year, but also sci-fi but calmer and for the mind.

Atari Jaguar news: This year, there is another JagJam and I'm hoping to see some great, creative new titles for the Jaguar again. The deadline for submissions is October, 31st, which gives devs half a year to make something. So if you are looking for a programming challenge or want to support the jam by spreading the word, please feel free to do so! Cheers!

Hello fellow #gamedevs
As I announced last week, the studio I was working for was unfortunately closed and so I find myself again unemployed. I am in no rush to find another job at the moment, so I am going to take a couple of months to work on my own games.
That said, I have already updated my website in case something were to happen and I needed to look for a new position. Could I get some feedback on what my home page currently looks like? Any suggestion is welcome.
More details:
Rules - contest has two stages:
[1] submit a game pitch idea
[2] selected Finalists create their game
Prizes: $10,000 (Finalists guaranteed at least $100)
The 18th annual competition for our #nonprofit!
Help us reach #gamedevs who could envision & build such games.
This morning I participated in a presentation in Greece celebrating Alexandros Kofteros’ "Computers, Consoles & Video Games" ebook with some other #gamedevs from years ago, hosted at the Cyprus Computer Museum. Free download of the book at https://mathisis.org/moodle/ and presentation at https://youtu.be/nAyQHW_gedc with Robert Holmes of Sierra On-Line, and Francois Lionet, creator of STOS BASIC

Did the paperwork and paid the fee to register my LLC with #Steamworks and get the Steam page for my game. It'll still be a while before I'm ready to start begging for wishlists like all the cool #gamedevs, but the ball is rolling.
France's @STJV is calling for a general strike of the video #GamesIndustry on February the 13th, 2025.
The #union will not accept the worsening working conditions for #GameDevs in the industry anymore. It will fight back!
Solidarité, camarades!
Here is my top 2024 tip for all self-employed creative folk out there - from #gamedevs to #writers to #musicians
Read/watch/subscribe to creative industry advice from an adjacent industry you're not in
For example, if you are a game dev, train the algorithm to give you marketing tips from indie music world
Most of the advice on marketing and product will be valid BUT the snake oil pitches and scams targeting that industry's insecurities will bounce off you
Merry Christmas!
Wow. #Funko / #FunkoPop, #BrandShield, and #IwantMyName must apologize publicly to #ItchIO and the many #gamedevs and #indie #game developers.
This should serve as a lesson for everyone.

"Here's a pleasant surprise: For once an emulator is being discontinued, and it's not bad news," writes @wes.readonlymemo.com for his newsletter, @readonlymemo. He discusses how the Lime3DS, which picked up the code from Citra after Nintendo's settlement with Yuzu, is joining forces with another developer to create a new, yet-to-be-named emulator. "No longer will development be fragmented between these forks, and instead all progress will be made in a single coordinated effort," the Lime3DS devs wrote in their latest update." Also in this issue, an update on N64 core developer Robert Peip's emulator work, and a fan translation of Saturn RPG Princess Crown that is proving messy.
