Teaser why I wanted to get the time to show the initial loading screen down as far as possible!
My game is set in a world of magic, so the portal you see takes you right into the game (not shown in the video).
All assets (~2.5GB) are loaded during that screen.

more games should support a seated VR mode
would add so much more value to VR setups to have games that are traditionally flat screen but can also be played with an HMD and a standard gamepad
steam should have tipping. it should have tipping. there should be tipping on steam. on steam, you should be able to tip the developer. the tip money should go straight to the developers who worked on the game and not the publishers or valve. they should make it so that on steam, you can give a tip
If you need a new rhythm game to sink your teeth into, this one has a free demo on Steam: s.team/a/4265140
Gamepad, keyboard, or whatever can pretend to be one of those works!
Solo-developed with a custom engine :)

Less than 24 hours are left to get Beat, Heart, Beat on sale!
If you've been thinking about getting it, this is your chance! Buy it now for only $6.74!
Did you know:
The game will automatically mark each song in Steam's own video recording timeline!
No need to set up capturing software like OBS, just click the song in the timeline and hit export.
pro tip for game devs: you almost never want to store data that's useful for the current frame if you can otherwise _infer_ it or recompute it instead. any time i reach for this, i know it's a hack and likely to lead to bugs later, so i avoid it whenever possible.
guYS With the power of Crack GPS Asstra 6.9, Claus Opoops Slopnet 5.5, I was able to Mod EVERY GAME INTO ONE, I did it all myself with hard work by my typing and coding thanks to AI assistant!!! THE FUTURE IS HERE AND NOW
Did you know gaming facts? In the British English localisations of the PS3 "It Only Does Everything" ad campaign, the entire slogan of the campaign was changed.
Yup, down to 8 seconds by naively distributing each font of a typeface to a separate thread.
This is for multiple typefaces with up to 6 styles each and Latin + Japanese character sets taken from a localization file.
Making a game without an (established) engine creates a special kind of paranoia when bugs are brought to your attention.
Sometimes it's an AMD input assembler bug in drivers from 2021 and prior coming back again and again.
Sometimes I actually just wrote some bullshit.
Today it was the former :)
I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups.
Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts!
