😯 that sounds legit!!

Jura huh? I'll have to look into that!

My coffee machine started working again. There is hope for the world.

This is epically cool.

It is, frankly, about damn time.

Amen

It's been a powerful process, though not always a pleasant one.

It's kind of amazing how many people (most of us) go through life just fine accepting what nature and nurture has done to us.

Thoughtfully creating yourself is something more people should do.

Thanks man! 😊
Doing better.

🎉🎄🕎🎁🕯️
Happy Holidays Everyone!

I hope you find yourself in a place of Peace, and Happiness, and loved ones.

If you're alone, remember that you're in good company.

There's one or two python courses that would otherwise be interesting... But with this shit show of a bundle you have to assume the content itself is also AI slop.

Damn... I don't have a quest anymore but that looks amazing.

Designing Cities for Video Games _ Learn how to design memorable and believable cities for video games by an experienced game urbanist with a PhD in urban planning.

Think I found it actually:
www.d6learning.com/course/gamec...

It sounds very interesting. Who is it designed for? (What kind of experience level and tools might someone want to have?)

Shame I didn't see this in time.
(schedule wouldn't have worked anyway)

I'm traveling this week for work, but I'll try to remember to check it out when I get back!

I always seem to want to talk about what I'm doing. And if anyone notices, it goes from "Expression" to "Stewardship"

I pressure myself to do it well, keep momentum, not lose the community, etc.

A predictable path to burnout & I do it all the time

Gotta allow myself to slowly be bad at things...

Been doing a lot reflection this past yr
Healing old things & noticing others

for example: My weird need to turn every passion project into a monument of pressure tied to my very concept of identity

As I work through changing that - I'm trying to remove that tendency from GameDev.

Someday maybe, but for now I just need to design a surface to put a city on that is more interesting that a flat plane. 😀

On a related note...
Do any of you #GameDev peeps know of an online tool for creating fictional elevation maps?

I would be cool to play with something to get a terrain shape I like before trying to actually create a model.

Awesome thread!

Thanks for sharing!

I can relate my friend.

Sounds like a good idea. Take some time and remember that you're doing it for you.

Wanted: Suggestions for:

Learning to make a terrain "base" model with nice drivable hills...

That I can place my city buildings & streets on seamlessly...

And be able to find/address the nearest street & maybe even individual lanes.

#gameedev

It doesn't get any better than that.

That's awesome.
I'm always amazed and envious of people who can lose themselves in the art of cooking. Not only is it impressive, it's a great life skill.

That looks amazing!

Damn that's a great trailer!
Looks legit scary - congrats!!

🤔 I don't watch live events or sports enough to justify the YouTube TV subscription...

Totally agree.

What would be a more fun #gamedev reintroduction project?

🔹Godot game starter : game states, input mgmt, game saves, screen transitions... etc

🔹Blender tutorials : I need to get better here overall
