Syrsly

The Physics Placer asset is now live! store.godotengine.org/asset/syrsly...

This cracks me up, because it's basically a dev going "I got no character assets" then finding out he has tank models and running with it.

I showed my beach sim stuff to a friend and they immediately asked "Does the ocean push the player down the coast?" I never thought of that. Adding it now. I already have a current system for the river tool which can be repurposed. I'm also going to add faster currents further out.

Last four games I played! What are yours?

I secured my physical-ish copy from Amazon. Hopefully, it'll arrive in time for me to play all day that Friday.

I saw Wicker letterboxd.com/syrsly/film/...

I only practice vibe coding when others pay for it and say I have to use it at work... but that's not game dev, and > 90% of my work is still manually coded/designed/implemented because I'm actually competent.

The scariest game of the year was the grind of Valheim 1.0.

I updated my profile to have links in the little cute tag-like bubbles. I'd prefer they just make the bio text length limit longer, but whatever.

I might get to 1K followers on Bluesky before I get to 1K followers on Twitch, and that's funny af.

I don't know who said this originally, but I'm stealing it.

Left a few discord servers this morning, so I got room to join new ones if anyone wants... but I rather use a different platform altogether. 😉

Going live on Twitch with Salamander County Public Television, then Arcade Emulator Stick! Get on the chat, and let's see what this emulator thingy can do! www.twitch.tv/syrsly

Nice theme! Could be taken so many ways.

Street Fighter movie was dope!

#EpicGames switching to vibe coding is the weirdest lose-lose gambit i can think off: if it doesn't work out you have buried your technological lead, and if it works, then any kid with a claude subscription can give the #godot foundation a deferred rendered that outcompetes your licensing terms.

I'll be going to the Street Fighter movie on Friday, so I likely won't stream again until Saturday, and this weekend's stream is going to be all about my emulation arcade machine because I just think it'll be interesting to see what it can do.

I've been looking at paid godot converters, and one of the ones I found on Itch was labeled not to have used AI but it looks like a typical AI interface and it is by an account that made tons of AI-generated YouTube shorts just a year ago. They also don't have a code portfolio at all.

Not one issue has been reported since release! 😆 Too early to declare this bug free? J/k... I was aware of several bugs before I released it. I'm not currently working on fixes, but I'll get around to it eventually

Should I stream my new arcade emulation station? It was an actual product, not custom built, so curious if that would be bad? It's clearly emulators on a joystick, though.

I will be streaming in a short while... gonna play one of my side distractions from the Steam Autumn Sale. Might be playing Valheim later tonight as well, though we haven't been streaming that as much, because the grind is real slow and my friends and I like to take frequent breaks.

This fan game holds up nearly 20 years later!

What's ACTUALLY going on inside of a digital projector?? It turns out the answer is... 𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 (I finally made a new video! I think you'll LOVE it 👀👀) #youtube #science #optics #bolognasandwich

Secured my Street Fighter tickets for a week from now and grabbed the center DBox seats!

I made a Blender addon a couple months ago and published it here: syrsly.itch.io/shape-face-b... Well, I'm making a similar but separate hair tool that is likely going to be very useful for PS1/N64/PS2 era hair cards. I know it's a little niche, but it's a style I wanted to emulate, so here we are.

Next stream, I'm switching to a Razer Kiyo Pro I found in a bulk bag of old webcams. It's still only 1080p, but it has great low light image quality and a great stereo microphone. Its mic shall be used when I don't want to wear the headphones.
