Epic wants me to use their launcher while bragging about how they were too lazy to make one themselves and instead had a chatbot (that anyone can use!) output some slop instead. Why would I use your service if you were too lazy to make it, and if it provides nothing I couldn't make myself?

I've used EGL for Alan Wake 2 and Prey 2017. I found it inoffensive, but basic. On top of any parity with Steam to make it worth buying more games on their platform, they'd need to have the respect for themselves and for me to actually make the thing themselves.

little experiment with this Anvil LD blender addon because i wanted a good test level. makes blender more Hammer-like, pretty good to use

i just want to drag things around and squish em and use a grid and have all the UVs be normal and this does that. there have been times i tried to get my UVs looking pretty and on-grid _by hand_ like a lunatic and i'm never doing that again

i imagine ProBuilder does all this in unity itself, and probably does it more efficiently for a unity game, but having it all in blender has its perks (using it for godot later)

born to do personal projects forced to do classwork (but having fun)

there are only 3 programmers on this 31-person project that lasts the whole semester. i am the programming lead. somehow i was nervous about my Unity skills being rusty but it's really like riding a bike... this is the fun project i do to procrastinate on homework now. i also get to write fun docs

this is the first thing i've posted that uses Unity (Godot is still my favorite)... everything on screen is by me except the art for the ball and chair, the environment textures, and the timer (the timer was one of the two other programmers)

Biggest game I've ever worked on so far just came out: gadig.itch.io/deadshot

Had a good time at GAMEmason this past weekend! never tabled before.

graverobber has been continuing steadily while i didn't bother to post. this is like a week old now, tonight i've been working on a monologue system (as opposed to a dialogue system)

playing until something breaks. this is for a quick fake game project and won't actually be released so i'm fighting my perfectionist tendencies. will be in a short 5m mock true crime style video discussing some made up history surrounding it that i may or may not bother sharing publicly

the premise for this was something i've had lying around for maybe a year and a half now but couldn't put to gameplay well, so it's definitely suited to a short film. doesn't mean i can't reuse it down the line in case i magically figure out how to make it work

Back in November I got a team together for a gamejam and we made this multi-window night vision physics puzzler called SHODIME. It had a bug where, only sometimes on a level load, everything would freeze, stutter for a moment and crash... It's a dark game so it's a little disturbing.

now with an interface that doesn't hurt!

this thing is due in a week and then it'll be out of my hair forever and ever

I do think the code I wrote is solid, I'm super proud of the systems in this, but actually putting a level together requires tons of one-and-done choreography that I don't like making under pressure. Games with typical reusable enemies are definitely more in my comfort zone.
