Yet another developer that gets bored way too quickly.

I work as a Python/Django Developer and I'm writing a CC-licensed ebook on game development that may have become unmanageable.

Hey yall. Unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

๐Ÿ”Š๐ŸŽ›๏ธ I have nothing on Audacity, but my little sound effect library manager now has a simple audio mixer where I can trim, fade, and layer effects directly from the library!

The tool will be FOSS, releasing in a few days ๐Ÿ‘€

Moin! Iโ€™m new here ๐Ÿ˜… What should I expect? Whatโ€™s different around here?

I make games as a hobby. On the Google Play Store you can find Meowglider and Mobile Doomer Simulator.

On itch.io Iโ€™ve released a calm little RPG called Auf der Suche nach dem verschwundenen Kรคtzchen (German only).

And on Steam my main project Purrfect Galaxies will launch for World Cat Day 2026.

If you like this, any support would power up my dev-energy! ๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿš€

Finally, an idea I am happy with! This is the third mockup for the Uplifting #gamejam that I want to enter. It follows on from the card game theme of the second, but with a different setting and mechanics. Now to actually make it...!

Hey friends, after ten years in the industry the layoffs finally found me.

I'm looking for roles in front end engineering and/or the intersection of engineering and communication (tech lead, developer advocate, that kind of thing). If you hear of anything, or you need some web work done, or maybe you need a programmer to get your Godot game across the finish line?, hit me up!

Kind-of-porting an Autosplitter to LibreSplit: https://penazarea.altervista.org/en/coding/autosplitter.html

If you're interested in LibreSplit, a native Linux speedrun timer with autosplit support (based on "Urn") here's the source code too: https://github.com/wins1ey/LibreSplit

My experience when porting an autosplitter for the game

I've been working on some dynamic game music #BespokeSynth - it exports stems automatically (just puts them in weird places).

Version 0.7.12 of "2D Game Development: From Zero to Hero" sees the light of day.

Also the project is approaching 33 thousand downloads on itch (only 30-ish to go).

Thanks to everyone for their help and interest in the project.
