My new game is starting to feel like a real balatro-vania #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

Anyone else going as Pumpkin Hill from Sonic Adventure 2 for Halloween this year or just me? 🎃⛰️ The costume has a treasure hunting minigame where you can move Knuckles across the “level” and the radar necklace will blink as you get closer to the hidden emerald in the pockets 💎 I love Halloween!!

call her remote code execution the way a single text from her has me doing things i shouldnt

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

fuuuuuck

Steam algorithm really has me figured out.

Wrote a new thing for the first time in forever! This is a guide to making multiplayer games in Godot, though mostly focused on helping you understand how it all actually works. Hopefully you find it interesting/helpful! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine sophies.games/blogs/b4352f...

Somehow fallen into replaying Star Wars The Force Unleashed. I wouldn't say time has generally been kind to it, but one aspect that's aged really well is the portrayal of The Empire as a specifically colonial evil, something I haven't seen done in official media outside of Andor.

brutal

I often think meat-eating makes an interesting analogy for a lot of things. It's so normalised most people do it without thinking, but there's no way to write a defence of it that isn't obviously absurd. "Animal abuse? The environment? Sure, but have you considered meat is tasty?" it's just silly!

Seen on instagram but its cooking with Bluesky energy

i rebooted minesweeper as a AAA shooter. loot boxes coming soon minesweeper.mikelacher.com

Here's my next game, ROTETRA, a tetromino stacker where you spin the whole board and juggle multiple pieces at once! It's a little bit cursed, but I've been having fun making it! Play the demo (and wishlist 👉👈): store.steampowered.com/app/4306820/... also, on web: sharkwithlasers.itch.io/rotetra

All of these segments are stunning in VR. My jaw is on the floor constantly. Video doesn't do it justice.

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

yeah this is how I've been thinking about it. a basic attempt at safety would involve trying to only deliver the useful thing to end users, so the danger is contained; like a nuclear power plant delivers electricity. AI companies are like "but what if we shipped fissile material to your house?"
