I ported the classic flash game Bloxorz to the Game Boy Advance. You can play it now at nostabyte.itch.io/bloxorzgba Anyway, here's the trailer I threw together for it #gamedev

I'm up to some shenanigans #godot

Did a huge refactor and now I have baked tile lighting. I love the way it reveals ore as you mine now.

I told my dad about how I was looking at buying a kei truck and now he's sending me facebook market place links. I think he wants one now.

Some good progress during the week. Added a crosshair, breaking animation, and physically simulated items that drop and can be picked up. I also figured out how to make a radar/minimap by drawing directly to a bitmap.

started working on my entry for the gba jam 2026

It's refreshing to see a readme without emojis now. So sick of this slop that reads like a linked in post. I just want to see a code example.

Now I wait to see if this project continues or gets canned...

I stand with taco bell

just added a feature to my current project that will ensure i can't see what users are jerking off to. this will all make sense if i actually release it

The only reason I have the reddit app on my phone now is so i get notifications for my town's subreddit. This week there have been 4 posts about UFO sightings.

I'm in uri encoding hell at 1am

Working on this project again. Finally added a notification toast system and used windows live messenger as my inspo. I want to recreate the frame around the profile pic at some point.

It works with the new area light and reflections too!

Somebody put my bloxorz gba port on retroachievements and now they are speedrunning it retroachievements.org/leaderboardi...

Downloading the android beta just to feel something

Somebody tell me why I shouldn't make my own game laucher/updater right now

It's weird having a project so small in scope that I might actually finish it this week

Has anyone coined a term for when the geometry is really fucked up due to some graphical glitch like this?

I broke it

I got some basic rope physics working. I decided I needed it for the next mechanic I want to add. If you look close enough you can probably figure out how it works. #godot #gamedev

Why did nobody tell me gimp has non destructive editing now? I have been avoiding it for over a decade because of it's workflow so maybe I'll give it another shot.

I made a lot of progress over the long weekend but I would have made more if I didn't make my reflection probe test into a bouncy ball. I have probably spent over an hour just doing this and tweaking parameters. #godot #gamedev

I was looking for something on my drive and found a bunch of screenshots from a project I abandoned 2 years ago. Looking through them is making me want to return to that project again. #godot #gamedev

I want the new steam controller

I made another addon for Godot instead of working on my game... jacobcoughenour.com/posts/gdscri...

I haven't been doing a lot of gamedev this week. I'm almost one week into my usual two week Minecraft phase

don't roll your own auth. it's a trap

I remember buying portal for my white 2010 MacBook from school because my sister and her friend were watching @hankgreen.bsky.social play it. It ran like shit on that MacBook and I only played the first 3 chambers.

The wise man bowed his head and laughed. “Video games have come a long was since Pac-Man” he said, finally.

Wheel World is good

My cats watching the birds on the bird feeder from the window

I just figured out you can use the Color Picker tool from PowerToys to debug shader values

My Variant Inspector plugin is now available on the new Godot Asset Store store-beta.godotengine.org/asset/jacob-...

I've been waiting years for the stencil buffer PR to get merged. just in time for me to redo my postprocessing stack with some crisp outlines

I love how extensible the godot editor is. I just threw together this launch profile switcher this morning to make it faster to switch between single player and multiplayer launch settings.
