Got caught holding the bag on a significant and surprise expense hitting me at a bad time. If anybody needs short term (part time, 3 mo. max?) commission work to write or polish the physics/controllers for arcadish jeeps, planes, spaceships, vehicles, etc. send me a message!

Been using variations of this code for over a decade now. One of my favorites.

Sparing the technical information, what this project is, is a romhack of AC2 that uses a specialized emulator for performance reasons. It doesn't take away from my development time from Aggressors as a lot of the code is actually reused such as the missiles and flight models. Done with no AI.

Sicko mode hacks like this are my dream. I want to do this with Rogue Squadron.

One of the easiest ways to get me to fall in love with your game is to have really cool lens flares.

The year is 2067, and people are still putting Desert Eagles into stuff when they need a big powerful gun that looks cool.

Great video from a C# developer in Godot taking a stab at the question. Short, sweet, and to the point, with the conclusion that it's more about the ergonomics and tradeoffs than performance. I'm personally quite opinionated on this, but this was a very well made and grounded take on the matter.

I don't know how like, controversial a statement this is, but I really love how file paths on Windows are case insensitive. It makes manually typing and going through directories a total breeze in a way that I find really annoying on other systems.

Not only held up to my memory of it but actually exceeded it. I remember it being very juicy, and I love how it absolutely commits to its visual effects being so over the top and cool that it can actually get in the way and it's so much better for it.

Spent a lazy Sunday making a gas giant in Godot, that will serve as a backdrop for a few missions. I wanted the clouds to move and random lightning to happen, so a skybox didn't cut it. The in-mission version will have more stuff going on in orbit :D #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame

Colony Wars: Red Sun (PS1) (2000) 1/5

The trailer actually looks pretty good! I really, really, really want Squadron 42 to be good. Star Citizen is so far removed from the game I backed 14(!) years ago and has scope crept into something extremely not for me, but Squadron 42 always felt like a "safe" bet as a modern Wing Commander.

Cool website with screenshots of every ship from X-Tension, the X: Beyond the Frontier sequel that made the game open world and let you fly every ship. www.elite-games.ru/x-tension/sc... The site can be really slow, but the Web Archive version has most of the images: web.archive.org/web/20180706...

I just realized I never posted what I did with my PHYSICAL copy of the hit 2023 video game, Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines. Before framing it, I made an ISO of the disc to have a backup, because it's really neat actually that it comes with a 100% completely standalone version of the game!

I had a home ec class in middle school and I think it was one of the most important classes I've ever had in my entire life.

Here we go, my take on the X2 Rolling Demo. I wrote a ton in the description if you want to learn more about why it's so annoying and difficult to even record a good version of this demo and why my version isn't "perfect" either, but I do think it's better than every other version I could find.

My computer stopped booting. It turns out it was because while mucking around in the BIOS trying to underclock it to record the X2 demo (and play a tiny bit of IWAR2), I accidentally OVERclocked it to ~9GHz. Turns out setting the CPU Ratio to 90 does not mean 90% base clock rate!

I sometimes say is "He ate his Wheaties" or "Didn't eat his Wheaties" and I don't know why I say that or where I got it from. Like, obviously it's a cereal, so I have to assume it was an old commercial or something? I really have no idea.

This has driven me crazy for many years. When you create a new object in Blender, or apply an operation, when would you EVER not want to see the window that lets you see and adjust parameters? If you need to hide it 0.01% of the time sure, but why in the world does it DEFAULT to closed?

Out of curiosity I searched for every space sim that was released on the PS2, and you can fit every game classified with "space flight" on the PS2 on one page.
