I probably won't do a lot more gamedev than that today, but a new error in the game has been added on Logistik😄 (With additional automated gameplay tests to check it, of course! c:) Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3928180/... #indiedev #solodev #trains #indiegame

Slowly, but I'm closer and closer to 60% code coverage on the game, which is not bad at all, since I'm only doing gameplay (e2e) tests 😄

Here's the proper announcement! Announcing Slop-Inator, a Chrome/Firefox extension that provides more information on genAI usage in various games on Steam. Supports store pages (games, DLC, demos), search results, sales, ... (1/?) #indiedev #webdev #gamedev (kinda)

I've cleaned up the code a bit, made it easy to add new games through PRs, added a new badge dedicated to marketing, ... I won't publish the next version right now, I want to add a bit more features (steam categories support & improvements on SNF), and additional games data too 9/?

What about even more improvements on tutorials? The text now go straight to the point, and I added GIFs :) (Also, yes, I was working with the steam deck game resolution, so I can check everything looks fine even in the "worse" case 😄) Demo: s.team/a/3928180/ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev

Tutorial #2:

After the update around 3 weeks ago, the game actually feel pretty well balanced! I will probably break this balance very fast once I add new features, but atm, it's satisfying 😄 Demo available here: store.steampowered.com/app/3928180/... #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #trains

The first task of the list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Not much, but another piece of UX to make the game even clearer! The cursor can now go in "denied" mode when you're trying to do someting forbidden (like a very irrealistic angle!), in addition to the already existing grey color + errors on click. s.team/a/3928180/ #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Wishlist deletion are very high on Logistik this month. I'm starting to wonder if the game is really interesting enough, if that's worth it to put hundred of hours of dev in it 😅 (Yeah, I'm not in the most optimistic mood recently)

The usual organic wishlists I used to have on my other games are not here anymore (because platform/market changes through the years), that's probably the big difference with them.

Not going to lie, working on this project has been hella fun. It's been a long time since I just spent 4 hours in a row without any distraction on something just because it was fun working on it. I love this feeling, this is why I became a developer 😄 7/?

I also plan on adding new ways to tag data. The goal, of course, is to make it easy to have badges and the crowdsourced data being the cherry on the top :) Licenses are MIT for the code, and CC-BY-SA 4 for the content, so you can re-use the content for more tools if you want! (but credit us!) 5/?

Of course, the project is open-source and I'm open to contributions and issues. But keep in mind it's a small project in my free time, it may have some delay. github.com/Dysnomia-Stu... And finally, you can download it here: 3/?

Okay, it's really going somewhere now 👀 (Also, the first versions of the extension have been accepted on both Firefox and Chrome store! Will do a full public announcement once the next update will be live)

And now, I automatically link the current app with its parent metadata if needed :) (So if that's a DLC, a soundtrack, a demo, a playtest, ...)

Ok soo.. I tried something I tried going on the whole bsky.app/starter-pack... list, I've got (kinda manually) 115 different games on Steam, and then added them automatically to the list It works ... but it took me 1.5 hours. I will definitely need community help if I want this extension to work 😅

115 indie games using no genai that will now be tagged as no genai in the next version. I feel like if there was some kind of community work behind, we could easily cover the whole next fest for example 👀

But once the list was built in my script, I could add the hundred of games in a matter of seconds in the extension, at least 😄

Well, I tried, it's ugly (especially when doing the transition), I don't think I'll make it work properly for now. It's not a priority. It could look cool, but maybe it's too much work for the result 😅 We'll see later #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

But hey, at least, I've written a function to lerp between colors (spoiler: converting hex to number, then lerping is not a good idea 😂)
