What do you think is the best route for indie game companies or projects to establish a Mastodon / #fediverse presence? I recently went self-hosted for tentaclehead.games but that won't be practical for everyone.It feels awkward to me for a company to rely on an account on a volunteer general server.There's mastodon.gamedev.place but that still feels aimed at individuals more than small co. or projects (could be wrong).#gamedev #indiedev

The server mastodon.lol has indicated it will be shutting down in 3 months.If you or somebody you know on that server would be a good fit for sunny.garden, registrations are open and we have the capacity for 500-1000 additional users.sunny.garden is a community for artists, musicians and creators who draw, write, design, program, play, sing or build (or garden!). You're also welcome if you just like the vibe :blobsmilehappyeyes: Check out https://sunny.garden/about#FindAServer #mastodonlol

My folks are visiting me in Japan, and today we went to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden…I’ve been a couple of times before in years past, but today was exceptional. It has been rainy all week since they arrived, but today was sunny, the perfect temperature, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. :BlobCat_Flower:#japan #sakura #shinjukugyoen

Tokyo Skytree yesterday. :blobcamera:We did go up, but this is still probably my favourite shot of the day. It’s really hard to get one up top that does any justice to the view.#japan #tokyo #skytree

Spam Comes To The Fediverse :yell: You may have noticed an increase in spam messages lately...Wrote up a little blurb about what's going on from my perspective as a server admin, and a couple of options users and admins have to combat spam (not a lot of them at the moment, but some).#mastoadmin #spam https://hub.sunny.garden/2023/05/17/spam-comes-to-the-fediverse/

Wish I'd seen this earlier, only 3 days left to apply, for Canadian indie game devs:"We are offering up to $10,000 CAD, along with professional mentorship opportunities, to game creators that are transgender, non-binary, women (cis or trans), and genderqueer people. This funding is a grant, so there is no recoup, no publishing, or specific platform requirements."Applications are due before 11:59pm EST May 25, 2023.https://pixelles.ca/pixelles-creator-fund/prototype-fund/#gamedev #indiedev #pixelles

sunny.garden has limited newsie.social as it currently hosts https://newsie.social/@Newsmax a far-right american media outlet, and will consider increasing this to a suspension in the future if newsie.social demonstrates a willingness to continue platforming far-right and transphobic media, against its own stated commitment to the Mastodon Server Covenant: "Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia"In the meantime, I would highly encourage media outlets such as @ProPublica to migrate to their own independent fediverse instances with all due haste, where they will have greater control over their presence on the fediverse, and avoid "both-sides" entanglement with other organizations which do not share their values.#SunnyGardenAdmin #newsiesocial cc @jeff

Five years ago I started working on a tutorial, Game Programming Basics in Lua and Love2D...I'm relieved to announce that I have now finished Part I (the Lua-only part) :yell: It's aimed at beginners, and assumes no previous programming experience. I started writing it based on the experience of an artist friend who took it upon themselves to learn programming as well, in the hopes that it could serve as a guide for people doing something similar, or anyone looking for an approachable path into game development.https://brookmiles.ca/game-programming-lua-love2d/#gamedev #lua #love2d #programming #tutorial

Needed some exercise motivation today so I set off for a park I haven’t been to before a couple of stations away, Hikarigaoka Park in Narimasu.It was very pleasant and surprisingly large, lots of different areas and facilities.#Japan #成増 #光が丘公園

They put a bakery in the park. Genius.
