Time for a short entry on my adventures in gamedev 🎮✨🏝️💜⚔️

Unfortunately, these games are no longer available. Such is the fate for the majority of digital media...

Tight technical constraints create optimization-conscious artists, and I think that's beautiful 💖🎨🌴🏡💗

ℹ️ gatdesoia.es/flying-sheep...

please don't rob yourself from the time to create things. and become little vaults of art at home. keep the dvds, buy books, save those pdfs, download the flacs, get drm-free versions of everything. reject the tool that saves you from thinking. any industry or market can fall, humanity should not.

Honestly peak endorsement in my book

LT Gaming out there doing the good work and giving me a jumpscare by having my own game pop-up in my YouTube sub-feed AND binding it SEO-wise forever more to FreeSpace(my beloved)
Some outdated footage hurts my heart, but well <3

Well, that is just flexing :D

Yarp, it is sooo useful for different workflows involving Godot. Extra efficient, if you add "Export all collections" to your Quick Favorites menu, so you can just go Q->Click and have a dozen different GLB files updated

The Onion:

YES, PLEASE

No need for shitty AI to make me unable to understand my codebase one year down the line! I can do that all by myself, with my baseless self-confidence, about being able to understand that 400-line-long class I wrote in the middle of the night, with the only comment being "TODO: lmao, FIX".
#gamedev

Thanks, mate!

A painting of a man holding a brush and easel. Behind him a skeleton playing a violin whispers into his ear.

Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.

You mean start over from scratch with new children?

What separates good parents from the bad ones is not doing it, not not thinking about it every so often. 😜

I added implemented FLAK turrets and replaced 12 of the Carrier's CIWS with them.
Did that improve the balancing? Nah.
But hear me out: I rewatched all of Battlestar Galactica (2004) over Christmas.

That's it.

Thanks so much! It is honestly difficult to tell after a while when everything just starts morphing into a Magic-Eye picture from staring at it for too long. So positive reinforcement is always a relief ^^

In-engine screenshot of Shrouded Suns. Fighter in the foreground. Flying toward the work-in-progress command carrier. A planet can be seen in the background.

It helps my motivation so much to have the pipelines in place to get even half-done versions of ships into the game and see them going to town on other ships. Or, in the case of the carrier, just annihilate 1km³ of space with 28 CIWS. TODO: balancing.

That is the perfect sentence. Sign me up as a playtester, please :D I don't even care about timezones. Sleep deprevation adds to the horror, in my experience.

Work in progress screenshot of the back-side player's home carrier in Shrouded Suns. Showing the engine clusters with a total of 20 thrusters and a reference fighter model in the foreground.

"We lost 3 engines, but we still have 17 more."

End of last year was crazy. Now working on the base carrier and it turned out to be 802 m long. I only have two hands and I have never been happier to not have gone photo-realistic, because this would kill me XD

Me wearing a shirt with a picture of Pluto and the text "PLUTO - NEVER FORGET 1930 - 2006"

I can't believe it's been 20 years.

Gone, but not forgotten.

#Pluto

Captioned: "Me trying to explain my game's story to my wife". The image is an altered version of the "Pepe Silvia" meme, showing me wildly pointing at a board with "Space", "Eldritch Horror", "Aliens?", "East India Company Analogy" and "Godot" written on it and a poster for "Shrouded Suns" in the background.

"I'll also explain that part later. It makes sense in context, I swear. Stay awake, please."

Those cubes are amazing! Props for the design work! For readability sitting at the table and added stability, a trapezoidal prism shape, with the print on the angled sides would maybe be better, but probably waaay more difficult/expensive to produce, I guess?

In any case, looks fantastic!

If I tell you a lie that nobody can disprove, does that make it less of a lie?

The kids turned out okay after all.

*Old man voice*: You kids nowadays with your intuitive UX and your undo functions don't know what good software looks like!

One of Igor's former masters had made a ticktock man, all levers and gearwheels and cranks and clockwork. Instead of a brain, it had a long tape punched with holes. Instead of a heart, it had a big spring. Provided everything in the kitchen was very carefully positioned, the thing could sweep the floor and make a passable cup of tea. If it wasn't carefully positioned, or if the ticking, clicking thing hit an unexpected bump, then it'd strip the plaster off the walls and make a furious cup of cat. -Pratchett, Thief of Time

these kinds of videos always prompt a certain Pratchett quote in my brain, from Thief of Time

a man in a blue shirt and tie is pointing at a bulletin board with a lot of papers on it . ALT: a man in a blue shirt and tie is pointing at a bulletin board with a lot of papers on it .

Do I need to use a corkboard?! This shit cannot be normalized.

Oi! Pinterest! Why the actual fuck is this the default setting? Rhetorical question. FU

🤖Need input: Windows 11 is a pile of trash and I'm thinking of setting up a dual boot with Linux as my daily driver.
Most things should should work (TM), but doe anyone have input on 2D software specifically and also tips regarding preferred distros for #Godot dev in general?

If you want to mess with your Steam Replay, just do the basic implementation of the Steam SDK during development and then kinda forget about it watching while you work for the next 4 months... XD
