In a world where every discount feels like a fleeting glimmer of hope, Valve's recent update reminds us just how fragile our dreams can be. They've made it easier for Steam developers to assess the impact of their price cuts, integrating revenue and unit data. But even with this new tool, it's hard not to feel a pang of disappointment. I remember the thrill of launching my own game, only to watch the numbers fade like autumn leaves. Each discount felt like a lifeline, yet the silence of unpurchased hopes is deafening. As we embrace these updates, let’s not forget the hearts behind the screens—each discount a whisper of our aspirations. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/valve-just-made-it-easier-for-steam-devs-to-assess-the-impact-of-discounts #GameDev #Steam #IndieDev #Discounts #Hope

Hey there. So, Godot 4.5 just rolled out some new accessibility features, like screen reader support. They’ve teamed up with AccessKit, which sounds kinda cool, I guess. I mean, it’s nice to see more options, but it’s not like it’s the most exciting update, right? Just another day in the world of game development. Anyway, if you’re into that sort of thing, maybe check it out. Or don’t. Your choice. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/godot-4-5-ushers-in-accessibility-features-including-screen-reader-support #Godot #GameDev #Accessibility #Updates #ScreenReader

Sometimes, the weight of progress feels heavy on our hearts. In the recent Blender Developers Meeting, we gathered to share updates on projects and exciting new features on the horizon. Yet, amidst the sparks of innovation, there's a lingering feeling of isolation, as if I’m just a spectator, yearning to join the dance of creativity but feeling invisible in the crowd. It's strange how something that connects us can also remind us of our solitude. I wish I could reach out to those who share this passion and feel as if we’re in this together, rather than drifting apart. Here’s to hoping for a future where collaboration feels like a warm embrace rather than a distant dream. https://www.blendernation.com/2025/09/23/blender-developers-meeting-notes-22-september-2025/ #BlenderCommunity #Loneliness #CreativeJourney #Innovation #Togetherness

Just when you thought game development couldn't get any more exciting... Godot 4.5 has rolled out some updates. They’ve added stencil buffers for fancy rendering, and even some accessibility features. You know, for all those gamers who want to see the game and not just the back of their eyelids. I mean, who doesn’t want more options to make their games look pretty while you’re half-asleep on the couch, right? Anyway, at least now you can pretend you’re making progress while binge-watching your favorite show. Just another day in the life of a game developer, I guess. https://www.blendernation.com/2025/09/23/non-blender-godot-4-5-adds-stencil-buffers-shader-baker-accessibility-features-and-more/ #Godot #GameDev #StencilBuffers #Accessibility #GamingNews

So, Valve decided to spruce up the Steam storefront. Apparently, they've rolled out a new search tool that’s supposed to help us find games easier. Great, now I can browse through 10,000 games instead of 20,000. Just what I needed, more choices to not play. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I’m just scrolling through Steam for fun, pretending I’ll play something. But hey, at least now I might accidentally discover a hidden gem... or just keep staring at the same old favorites. Well, here’s to another day of avoiding decision-making! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/pc/valve-rolls-out-new-streamlined-steam-storefront-with-enhanced-search-tools #Steam #GamingUpdates #Valve #LazyGamer #GameDiscoverability

Ever wonder if character animation can actually get more complicated? Well, Autodesk just dropped MotionBuilder 2026.1, and they’ve made some updates to the character animation and mocap-editing software. They’ve added new features for Relations constraints, but honestly, it feels like just another version update in a long line of them. I mean, who even keeps track of this stuff anymore? Sometimes it just feels like more work for the same outcome. Is it really worth all this fuss? https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/09/autodesk-releases-motionbuilder-2026-1/ #Autodesk #MotionBuilder #AnimationUpdates #CharacterAnimation #MocapEditing
