Rami, as always, delivers an absolutely excellent talk.

I learned a lot! Maybe you will too?

There's Slavic Game Jam going on right now, plenty of cool people there. I am on summer holidays with my kids, so I'm missing it.

Vekari: Remote Bypass homepage Has tabs along the side for quick navigation as well as a regular menu bar, the world time and date, and a short poem as an intro Lay thy head to rest, souls quickly spent. The world has fallen, left no means to its end. A harrowed sea bathed in neon light, Steel yourself. Metal tends to bite.

Enoch Favonius Part 7 Enoch gives Kori a tired look before waving his hand to freeze her in place, her angry expression frozen in time as he plucks the purple VR token from her hand, preventing her chip from scanning it. "I told you, I really don't like doing this." He steps just out of the room, grasping the token tightly and quickly patting himself to ensure the box hasn't been lost in the mess, before he unfreezes her and begins to walk back down the hall. Her yells and the sound of clattering metal is heard from behind him, but he doesn't stop or look back. Before long, Kori's footsteps approach him from behind. Rapidly. "YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET HIM GET AWAY?" Enoch steps to the side, watching the small woman sprint past him and tumble onto the floor in a failed tackle. He lets out a sigh. "No, quite the opposite. I'm making sure he can't. Are we really doing this again?" Continue Reading

Gareth's Gears Gareth looks up from his desk when you step in, a warm smile on his face. "Ah, always good to see a familiar face 'round 'ere! Glad ya came back in one piece. What can I do you for?" "Of course I'm not dead" "I was going to offer for free" "How much for 30 minutes of you?" "How much do you know about breakers?" "I got your message" Back to Faktoria

Hi, do you like reading/games?

Are you aware I write cyber-fantasy with gay people? Like a giant, open, choose your own adventure with real consequences? That the polls are open and plot ongoing? And that you can explore the world as yourself? And it's free? And has human art?

Went for a summer walk in the park. Things went well.

I have days when nothing goes right, sure, but not today. Today I find that the code flows from my fingertips like my spirit and the machine's spirit are intertwined. I can feel the game shaping up second by second.

HOT DAMN, it feels so good. This is the high we're chasing.

Returned to Pokemon GO recently, and while I loathe the FOMO-driven event mill that the game serves these days, it is giving me reasons to go out and walk around, which I badly needed. It's easier to do so if I want to catch mons for my kids.

So: methods? questionable. results? positive so far.

Changes to source code even after generating new solution, cleaning and rebuilding don't change anything in my Unreal project, and I'm slowly losing my mind.

As the game is being developed, our artist, @lukaszjunczyk.bsky.social, has started working on the trailer. Here it is in full glorious temp art! Animation of pressing the elevator button is truly a masterpiece. Henceforth I shall be pressing all buttons like that. #gamedev #indiedev

#Gaurodan is out!

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

Today I have encountered a pair of wild boars, with a bunch of young ones.

Spent like an hour observing them. They were in high grass so didn't get any excellent pictures, but I had great fun watching them feed and play around.

I have to say that over the course of last couple months I'm more and more considering moving to a different OS (though I'm partial to FreeBSD myself) for my daily driver.

That's the idea :D

Recently at the office me and a group of friends were given a task to design a cool game and make it.

It's an action/survival horror, we're trying to pour into it our best memories of games like AVP, F.E.A.R, and GTFO.

We've just started, but I like where we're heading :D

I really should write and submit my talk on best practices for writing code in Unity that you can easily port to Godot.

#indiedev

Creating my very own portable console at @amazefest.bsky.social and having so much fun!

I did a thing! Thanks @amazefest.bsky.social and @zoewi.bsky.social for letting me do the thing!

I hope you liked the thing.

And thanks @imakecoolstuff.bsky.social for the picture!

they took pirates of the dark waters from us too early

Other people designing: awesome art, detailed documentation
Me: drawing stick figure kaiju doing cool shit

So I found my new favourite game at @amazefest.bsky.social . Time to find some more!

Time flies fast, only 2 week till AMAZE. Wonder if there will be a #godot meetup there like last year. Gotta speed up development of my project to have something to show!

Praise Blake!

(it's 38 minis, because it turns out that infantry comes as two separate mini/card per unit in ComStar, as far as I understand)

I kinda wanted to have a proper Level III, but it turns out that 36 units is quite expensive, and to get equivalent BV to the Jags I ended up using a lot of REALLY cheap hardware. I think I could only afford one or two Clanbuster loadouts, everything else pretty much Succession Wars standards.

After painting 20 minis of Smoke Jaguars I decided that never again will I take on such a big painting project and only paint small forces from then on

So then obviously the next force I started on was 38 minis worth of ComStar to fight them

Seriously though, next one will be smaller

#battletech

Every turn takes forever though :DDD

After weeks of painting, I've finally set up 1000 v 1000 point Alpha Strike ACES game where me and my kids play as ComStar and defend Tukayyid against the invading clan Smoke Jaguar.

Let's get rolling!

#battletech

After years of "I can't pull this off I am not an artist" I embraced "programmer art" and I am going with ASCII art for my new project.
I am done implementing v0.1 of my love2d powered engine and now I can focus on implementing those mockups!
