Panel 1: Exec: "Ok guys ok ok we won't kill Adobe Animate." Crowd: "Phew" "thank fuck" "That's better" "I'm still switching to something else." "No yeah you really should"
Panel 2: Exec: "Unfortunately we will also stop adding new features to it." Crowd: "WOO!!!" "It's a dream come true!" "Yeah!" "Finally!" Exec: "... um. Why are they cheering"

Ratios *do* have units tho, we just hate recording them for some weird reason? Like mentally I always use 16 widths : 9 heights to rationalize whatever aspect thing I do.

Or 10 parts water to 1 part coffee is explicit.

But the lack of standard is annoying. Alongside "50% more X than Y"

๐Ÿ’ต MONEY for GAME? In 2026??? ๐Ÿ’ต

There have been more and more successful-game-devs-turned-game-funders popping up, so here's a lil' thread of some of the more recent ones I've seen.

Hopefully this helps you get some $$$! ๐Ÿ”ฝ

Here's my thread of 2025 games made with Black leadership you should check out.

I'm not an advocate of supporting things just because X group made them - I share genuinely unique games that have something special about them that I think are worth checking out.

I just focus on #blackgamedev

There was a tweet sometime ago saying that everything benefits from being microwaved at half power twice as long, and I strongly believe they're right.
Also a touch of humidity, if you can swing it.

I'm going to throw some cold water on the anger about this.

It is now considered ROUTINE for AAA games to spend as much on marketing as they do on Dev. Dev costs $200M? That's the starting point of conversation on how much to spend on marketing, PR and ads.

It's got a big list of good games in it, maybe you should read it.

The Game Awards is nice, but I chose a different kind of multihour trial this evening.

Actually not Fibonacci but it woulda been cool if it was necessary, just increasing po2 I think will reducing patterning.

If multisampling isn't allowed for some reason, then it might be interesting to try an increasing Fibonacci? I haven't thought this through much but, starting small localizes against patterns, but the min width of the max value will grow such that I believe it must always converge.

19.10.2025 02:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I feel like a 1+2 distance multisample combines the approaches to reach a middle ground. You'd converge twice as fast, but avoid patterning with the near sample.

This feels like a gaussian blur or similar GPU operation, so there might be something inspiring there too.

Pokemon logic says that if waist-height boulders got you blocked, jumping off a two-story building is a reasonable detour.
