Fatcicada Games account, Cable St. Armory, Tweets way too much about russias hybrid war and the collapse of USA. I'm *trying* to post more on gamedev. Still Unity. 🇺🇸/🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇺🇦 neonliberal https://mastodon.social/@FatCicada https://fatcicada.itch.io

I made a deliberate decision not to put Bad Apple or Doom on this, YouTube commenters be damned. But I'm going to put Doom on it, aren't I?

I ssh'd into my beaglbone from my phone, while 3d printing something. There is now no way to come back from this, as if building game stuff wasn't enough. I'm officially a nerd.

back again... I've managed to stay off mainstream socials for months. lurking in discord. have touched DQR in probably 3 months. Been busy doing other stuff, mostly worrying.

Core gameplay mechanics ? build a new level ? work on story progression ? no, I must set-dress an area of an existing level which you can't even get to and see from 100ft away through some open arches. #gamedesign #madewithunity #isthismarketing

Absolutely bangin' choon

Fine tuning the end of the Keep level, it could be longer but I have to move along... still grinding at this project, 5 yrs in ;) Yes I'm alive, busy, keeping an eye on things.

I finally played Deathtrap Dungeon again, 27 years after it was released. I think I only ever played a demo back in 97 or 98. It's an odd feeling but I realize just how much it is an influence on DQR even though I barely played it or remember it.

I don't think I'm going to be on here unless I have something to share. I quit facebook and I have to quit scrolling bsky too. It's a shitty habit and just makes me mad, nobody should come here just to get mad. Actual DQR updates only, to follow. And if I must scroll and read...

don't have a great UI interface for it, but you can switch between save files now. also making progress on persisting global settings between game restarts. #godot #gamedev

If you are voting in the local elections today, do remember there is a free IQ test too. Simply enter the voting booth and if you find yourself voting Reform, you'll know you're a thick twat.

Snowboard trails are way harder to make than ski trails 😅 We just used Unity’s trail renderer for ski tracks. Ended up making a custom trail renderer that generates a mesh based on board orientation vs velocity, it was easiest that way 🙃🏂 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3D #indiegame #indiegamedev

💀 65% of game dev projects die in the prototype phase. Your biggest challenge isn’t finishing - it’s surviving the excitement of starting a project. Keep it small and expand gradually without polishing too early. #gamedev #indiedev

🆘 The White House terminated the entire staff of the State Dept.'s Historical Advisory Committee this evening. This threatens the integrity of the declassification of foreign policy records, the objectivity of our historical accounts, and undermines current and future policy makers.

This was entirely foreseeable -- Trump told us exactly what he would do. Everyone who spent a single second of the election doing anything other than working as hard as they could to prevent Trump from being elected should feel like shit about it.

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

When I released my demo I was shocked how many showstopper-type bugs it still contained... I really had to sit down and fix them, so I updated the demo. One issue I had to admit defeat about was that the shadows are too weak and so new we have these strong ones. #gamedev #indiegame #mazestalker

I should probably be stocking up on 3d printer filament...

What are you doing? I was for this before. Now I’m literally in the process of buying an AR-15 and I’m pissed I have to buy one that’s stripped down to the point of absurdity because of California’s current gun laws. Know the moment, dude.
