Hi new followers, guess it's time for a new intro post. I’m David, been working as indiedev ~15 years, made a few games, I like coding my own frameworks in SDL/C++. More "recently" I've been doing contract work using Unity/GM2 etc for consoles, so been vverry slowly working on my own new game.

NEW DLC OUT NOW! Forbidden Solitaire: The Discarded DLC is out now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/... We hope that you enjoy it :-) Please share, thanks!

not sure if this info is useful for anyone, but if you want to look into which controllers to make sure your game supports on Steam (and the icon glyphs too maybe). for my own game, 58% of play sessions are using a controller, majority with an Xbox controller followed by Steam Deck.

Good news, GameMaker 2 is now free for commercial games if you use the new GMRT runtime on desktop, mobile and web.

if you are grabbing an iPhone Duo, I updated Quest of Dungeons last night to take advantage of bigger screen, it adapts to folded/unfolded mode. also added a virtual DPAD and bunch of other things. v4.0.1. let me know if bugs as I don't have the device. have fun. itunes.apple.com/app/id698726...

omg look at this fully functional custom 3D printed laptop!!! slurpburgers.com/slu...

2 weeks left for Ocarina Time remake!! I never finished OG back in the day, got stuck in water temple I think, excited to finish it this time around.

The Matrix is full of great cinematography, but this has to be my favorite still of the movie, I can’t explain why, but there’s something about the whole setup.

Wrote a new blog post about something I’ve been thinking about, it seems Software developers are anxious and burning out over the current state of tech. Dunno, could be wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometimes I forget QoD is over a decade now, and some people who played it as kids are now all grown up, it really does warm the heart when people reach out to say they had a good time with it.

what the heck this watch looks sick, MP3 player, retro futuristic vibe. I would wear it back in the day for sure. www.casio.com/intl/w...

Valve is out there making software to run Windows games on Linux with 0 changes from devs, translating completely different apis on the fly with matching, or above performance. I would not bet on a performance contest even as a joke.

😂 Valve was like “hold my crowbar” store.steampowered.c...

So I guess Epic Games is desperate for attention at any cost? only reason I can find

took some time to setup Godot C++ module system to get it to run my own C++ code instead of only gdScript, and I'm finding myself "more at home" now, the convenience of a powerful editor, and I can still use GDscript on nodes if I want to. might be my optimal balance here.

The game I'm making: Even though I've specialized in algorithmic super adaptive music for quite a bit, I've never done something this complex before The only way I can reasonably exceed how the music adapts to gameplay, I need to be a dedicated musician on a project, and not do the other stuff too

Seventeen years later… The time has come for Machinarium 2 🦾🔧 Wishlist NOW on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1619280/...

I've had a MX ERGO trackball mouse for 6 and half years now, battery still holds for weeks with heavy daily usage, very comfortable, just requires a bit more maintenance then regular ones due to trackball dust accumulation. one of the best mouse I ever got.

Firefox updated to the rounded tabs, I don't dislike it visually, but it's making my mouse muscle memory aiming precision go wonky, not a big fan, although I'm sure I'll adapt.

Aseprite (a pixel-art creation tool) is 40% off on Steam. I purchased this 8 years ago and it's an incredible value for it's price even at full price. Actually even if it was double the price. Steam: store.steampowered.c... Directly from Dev (DRM-Free): aseprite.org/buy/

September 28th, daylight. The monsters have overtaken the city. Somehow, I'm still alive...

I'm going to play modular synth music tomorrow on twitch. It'll start at Monday 01:00 UTC (this will still be during Sunday for most who follow me) 03:00, Swedish time www.twitch.tv/nifflasgames

Been testing iPhone Duo simulator and added response to fold/unfold/rotation events for various layouts. Instead of scaling the game, I increased the view when unfolded which works out like an iPad version. I like it. Will have to be one of those "I only tested on the simulator though" updates.

Ran into a “multiply blend state runs on x11 but not on Wayland” Linux situation but I’m now convinced my base assumption on the alpha channel was wrong and before x11/windows/other platforms were just ignoring it. Or maybe it’s too late/early in the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a millennial a lot of slang already flies over my head, but it seems everyone is the world is either cooking or cooked. Where’s all the ppl who are just … chilling?

I need to grab some Godot stickers.

Of course I grabbed a bunch of stickers I had around to put on my Steam Machine, that’s part of the use.

Interview I gave for a Polish website about QoD Switch 2 launch, it's been so long that my most recent "not that bad" photo was from the Wii U

Several studio merges here if I get this right. Activision developing Halo on a new separate team, Bethesda absorbing (?) Obsidian, Playground and Turn 10 into one studio.

DLC ANNOUNCEMENT! Just when you thought the card-flipping horrors were over... new secrets are unearthed. Introducing a brand new story-driven DLC, Forbidden Solitaire: The Discarded! Please wishlist and share: store.steampowered.com/app/5238350/... New levels, enemies, jokers, sigils + more!

I imagine between release of DX1 and DirectX 9 these were breakneck speed to pack in features every year, but with DX9 release it had a big impact in gamedev and became a standard. There are still hundreds of games today running on DX9 on latest Window versions.

Because of that “you can see everything” trailer that was circulating a few days ago, I was curious about who the reporter was, discovered Nathan For You tv show and this is brilliant, already on 3rd season. Top tier comedy.

We want to tell this story bit, but it's been a while since the player pressed anything... QUICK TIME EVENT!! now, where were we...? ah yes, about the giant squid!

I had this idea the other day. Someone creates a steam game that just plays the Rick Astley rickrolling video, we funnel up all fake key requests to that “game”. Kinda tempted to see how many would end up in gray markets.
