Regardless of your new social network platform, create yourself a blog too, for your work, studio or random stuff. You control it and will last longer than any other app. Don’t forget the RSS feed. If you have a gamedev blog post it below so I can add to my feeds.

Half-Life 2 is free to get until 18 November, was updated to fix a variety of things & plays on Steam Deck too. If you never played now’s the chance to see one of the best FPS ever made. I recommend starting by HL1 if you haven’t though for story, it’s current on sale < $1

I watched Alien Romulus a second time and I wanted to talk about it, but instead of spoiling stuff on social media I did a brain dump on a blog post. It's not a review it's just stuff. obviously tons of spoilers, but yeah I like the movie. david-amador.com/2024/11/alien-…

Once in a while I get asked so I took a bit of time to write a blog post about my experience moving from Unity to Godot. Some thoughts, frustrations, and why I'm overall excited about it 🚀 david-amador.com/2025/04/switch… #godot #GameDev
