Posted this on X, but I guess people there are busy coding new game engines using AI. I wanted to learn more about 2D game programming. Haven't touched C++ since college. This is my first attempt at a bouncing logo screensaver using #SDL 3. Any pointers? pastebin.com/PFwVxXyU

Remember to eh... touch... the sun? Grass. Grass! Well the sea view is nice too- 😅❤️

Gotta lock in

Can I beat the game as I am?!

It's a good thing bad animation is not illegal otherwise I'd be in big trouble. #dontshootthenovice #programmerArt

Me: okay l! Got work to do so I’ll play a bit of Zelda:BOTW , I’m one step from fighting Ganon - I’ll focus on upgrades so I can finish it! Me after an hour: now a homeowner in a small village decorating…

It's been almost one year since HAZE was released and I happen to have a few leftover vouchers for it to give away✨ Are you working on something cool that could use a bit of atmosphere, fog and volumetric lighting? 🌫️ Drop some more info in the comments 👇 and I can DM you a code to try HAZE out =]

ahhahhaahahahah

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

haahahahahahahahahhah

Apple HomeView feels like HomeWatch?

Debugging a little bit of physics / articulation body issues in Unity has my brain melting.

Here's a proper software engineer opinion.

I saw Kyle Chandler on Lanterns and I was like... oh! a reboot of the Early Edition would be awesome...then realized... do people even know what a newspaper is nowadays?

I think I need new attire.

Have an awesome day people!

There goes my Macbook 12" Steam gaming. I know it's old, but dang. I can also not find an alternative 12" laptop to replace it with. It's a perfect size for traveling with :(

Yesterday, during a talk about the games industry, this scene came to mind. People should have the chance to make games because they can be fun, inspire us, maybe even make the world better, whether or not they’re financially successful. That’s purpose enough.

“GAME OVER” in Zelda:BOTW turning yellow if it’s by thunder is a special kind of f-you.

decided to learn a little bit of neovim and I now think we're all inside a neovim simulation

I ported a game to the Switch! - not released yet, but runs awesomely on the dev kit! <3

I find Zelda:BOTW fun but also frustrating because I can’t find what is the next sensible thing to do and life is too busy for me to just explore and fail multiple times for no apparent reason; Is there a guide I could use that won’t take much away from the experience?

All I want this October is a 1-year anniversary Keeper physical edition 🙏 @leepetty.bsky.social @doublefine.com

This year I'm taking part in this amazing program!

I bought BOTW for the Switch 2 but I only see this screen? ffs, it's hard for me.

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅

Research is research... (even if it's a 6 hour long interview)

It feels like we now need a similar screen but for AI.

After years of company stalling, Blizzard workers win mega-contract that applies to all unionized teams aftermath.site/blizzard-union...

apparently humans evolved to be extremely sensitive to the sound of a baby crying. -I think I’ve evolved the same trait for the Teams ping.

Keeping physical media alive reason #24123123 Finding a perfectly working copy of a game, next to the recycle bin, near your place. Thanks stranger. P.S. Never played this really...

@xbox.com how can someone from Greece buy your 25 years anniversary console?

Someone told me they are going away on vacation for 3 weeks and I'm *not* jealous. I'm telling you, I'm *definitely* not jealous.

No DLSS 5. Just good art direction. #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev

Back home, but the indies are still with me. #gamescom #indies #indiegames

I just returned home from gamescom after about 12 hours of travel… I guess I could….?
