I feel the same, and in some Souls-inspired games the movement is restricted, which makes me blame the game instead of myself which is a key insight into why From's design works so well IMO.

That's more than I knew! Interesting, and makes sense.

Ah that one is unfortunate. Sounds like something that should *just work* automatically.

Wow that is awesome stuff :)

I've begun the process of setting up a SteamWorks account. Luckily I could re-use some info from the App Store setup like bank account etc. Will probably take a while until there's a proper page for the game, but it's good that I've finally started at least.

I've heard that Godot currently lacks some 3D features compared to Unity. I don't know in detail which they would be, but is that something you've encountered?

Beware of xenophobic bomb goblins!

Tried to do a full playthrough of the current state of my demo content yesterday, but it was too hard.. Though I had an immense amount of fun, which was very positive. Now it's clear what I need to adjust for the next session. #screenshotsaturday

3 seconds max or I’m out 🤐

Trying out some new bomb mechanics. Unfortunately this mob has around 90% physical resistance so it's mostly just damaged by the lingering fire. #screenshotsaturday

That's terrible 😂 I'd probably resort to just code in some texteditor and build from the terminal but would miss having a visual debugger, code completion and instant feedback on compilation errors/warnings. At least valgrind would be easily attachable I guess 🤔

Have you considered any alternatives, and are there any features they lack to be viable replacements?

You asked and you shall receive! Now you better watch it cause it took me two days to make this! (unless you're really enjoying Windows 11)

How to switch to Linux as a gamedev?

Haha! Then I guess you got that part covered already 😉

I would probably have gone with a bit more minimalistic approach, but I like that you would be able to use the PSG for basically everything including music and sfx etc if you wanted. Also, being able to set random parameters and changes over time in the PSG could be a bonus :)

I generally go with low-end hardware for dev to be able to do performance testing so I got the cheapest one and found it very usable so far. The only upgrade I might consider is adding more storage to be able to install huge games etc.

VLK Tracker; the audio tool I've been using for my games for a few years is heavily based on random parameters to provide a way to get variation in music and sfx. I'm now adding row and pattern jumps that will trigger on supplied probability which I expect will be equal parts silly and powerful 😄.

Nice! Haha probably didn’t notice since I always have them turned off 😆 I’ll fix it in the next build, let me know if anything else weird turns up 👍

I've mostly been occupied with other projects this week, but have laid the foundations of a scenario / questline handler. I feel with the addition of characters that it's starting to come alive a lot more than I expected! #screenshotsaturday

Updated this old repo with some hard earned learnings.. Should at least provide some example of non-blocking thread sync and how to structure it, but that will be for when I actually have a good solution for it 😅 github.com/lundstroem/r...

I think I've found the culprit with the failing audio init, but there are a few threading concerns I need to look into also. I'll try to get a fix version up soon! Thanks for giving me a reason to pick it up again 😄👍

Just to confirm; pressing space on the keyboard does not move it either right?

Oh, seems like the audio init fails for some reason. I’ll look into it, thanks!

Not as malevolent as BonziBuddy but probably more distracting 😆

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Join the snibbetracker Desktop beta Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.

I've made a Mac App Store version of snibbetracker that is ready for beta testing here: testflight.apple.com/join/f5uyH7VR I'm still on macOS Sequoia but it should work on Tahoe as well hopefully. Could you check if it works for you?

Haha nä jag fattade aldrig heller. Läste dock en bok om Karl den XII:e för några år sedan och han använde tydligen uttrycket rätt frekvent 🤣

Lappri säger trasdockan!

Been looking forward to hearing how the switch went! I'm a happy Mac user since 17 years but Linux would definitely be my goto if I ever had to jump ship 👀

I had to take a pause from this game as the stakes got too high. Resurrections are costly and trapdoors on level 3 were pretty bad. Would've liked a QoL feature where traps previously fallen into are marked on the map, at least when casting Dumapic.

Got a bit confused again by macOS showing different names for sandbox folders. I have a hard time understanding how anyone thought this was a good idea.. nisus.com/blogs/big-su...
