Thousands will lose their livelihood, internet is permanently soiled by soulless content, huge amount of natural resources have been burnt for a very debatable net positive for humanity...

"Only useful tech will survive" is a meager satisfaction for the unconvinced sadly :(

Indie Game Post-mortem - Highrook A rocky road to Highrook So 'The Horror At Highrook' has been…

Ok, Nearly the end of the year, and 6 months since Highrook was released! I wrote a little postmortem, covering some nerdy production info and my thoughts on what it was like to be an indie in the last few years.

Super nouvelle ! (pas parce que vous partez hein, ça ça craint…)

Reminds me fondly of my old cat, regularly wiping her ass on the living room carpet.

Ishtar's next survival game Dead In Antares has a release date! February 19th 2026.

I've been very lucky to be trusted the programming lead for this game and it's been an amazing 15 months journey with an incredible team. Just a few more weeks of polish and it will be ready for you to discover!

Courage !

La plupart de ces jeux sont (pas vraiment secrètement) produits par des gens qui poncent ses niches depuis un bail et c'est pour quasi aucun leur coup d'essai. Juste t'as jamais entendu parler d'eux parce que t'es pas sur roblox ou whatever... Les jeux sont pas juste "cools" c'est le point.

Euuuuuuuuuh ça serait très très très gonflés de dire que ces jeux ne sont pas excellents. Attention, je n'y joue pas et ils ne me font pas envie. Mais jamais de la vie j'irais oser dire qu'ils ne sont pas très bons dans ce qu'ils font. La preuve, ils marchent.

La plupart des analystes et des donneurs de conseils pour gamedevs semblent vouloir systématiquement ignorer que les jeux qu'ils utilisent comme références sont juste excellents dans ce qu'ils font. Et que c'est peut être ça le plus important en fait... Genre... de très loin.

Always amazes me how much just a few white squares and lines can go a long way towards adding gamefeel to a very raw prototype.

NOUVELLE VIDÉO !!! 💥💥

On parle de Jeu vidéo et d'art et de technique surtout et de 𝒞𝒜𝐿𝐿 𝒪𝐹 𝒟𝒰𝒯𝒴 LE JEU VIDEO DE TIR A LA PREMIÈRE PERSONNE NOTAMMENT

voilà, le RT est semblable au soutien aérien (j'ai joué au jeu je jure)

🔽🔽 LE LIEN EST JUSTE EN DESSOUS 🔽🔽 je crois

I've read the linkedIn post of a former game dev student. He argued that genAI art deserved maybe more credits than trad painting or photograph... because you had to overcome your lack of culture first to make something believable.

I kid you not. We are f...ed.
(and yes he was horrible student)

"For the tech oligarchs in charge of this shit, they literally cannot conceive of why immitation is not enough. What they steal should be enough to make it work. Who they hurt should be enough to fuel the machine. And yet there is no magic, just typewriters stretching into empty rooms."

Le jeu du silence. Mine de rien pour moi ça a tout changé le jour où j'ai pu jouer aux gros jeux sony sans un bruit d'hélicoptère dans la pièce.

The early builds of this one did hurt my brain but in a fun way. You might want to follow this one if you're into mini-metro like stuff.

Hu hu... no you certainly shouldn't assume that.

Comme d'hab' avec Ache : c'est pas trop là pour être feel-good, mais ça fait réfléchir.

It's nothing crazy. Certainly not new or ground breaking, but I like how my brain is slowly organizing my code to find solutions to old issues I encountered on previous iterations of this exercice!

I can now expend the controller to do many many more things. Dashes and grappling hooks, here I come!

A graph showing gameplay states and how transition between them can be influenced by states of the previous post or user interactions?

This physical state does not directly change the gameplay states but is used by individual states to decide if they should transition to another state. The same way a user interaction could. On this graph you can see the cause of state transitions :
blue == physical cause
orange = user input cause

A graph showing different states of world interaction based on collisions

But this time I organized the controller around 2 distinct states : the usual gameplay state (stand, run, jump, etc...) and a second physical interaction states dedicated to collisions and contacts with the world. The whole thing is managed at the "base" of the controller and do all collision stuff.

I always struggle to decide what should be managed by the base character controller and what should be managed by individual states of the state machine. Specifically, I'm always struggling with implementation and distribution of collision detection. I often end up with a lof of code duplication...

Working on a character controller always feels good. Including all the little tricks like coyote time and jump buffering... but also finding new ways of architecturing the whole thing to make it scaleable with complexity and compatible with AI scripting. And this time, I tried something new for me 🧵
