Error message reading: Condition "p_size.height < 1" is true.

I've just been viciously emasculated by an error message.

How's your day going?

good luck with the launch!

This'll be the finalized character portrait for Yurushi. We're very lucky to have @tg-marlo.bsky.social, that's for sure - she turned out perfectly. <3

if you combine it with little polished marketing pushes when you hit certain milestones, you could get the best of both worlds

sure beats getting an article in a gaming publication and not being able to spot it in sales data. I'm rooting for ya

sharing an office with my girlfriend is great because I get to sit here and grin like a cheshire cat while she's in a call about being given a promotion

Especially the parts that aren't making the video game.

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

A cute cat called Bisky lying on my arm while I'm trying to type. She has big eyes and fuzzy cheeks.

the world can be pretty shit sometimes, but at least my cat is still cute

that's the spirit!

A tip for aspiring game devs:

Don't.

If reading that dissuades you, you probably don't have the stomach for it

Got UI and sound effects implemented. Hopefully this small showcase gets the idea of the *basic* TRPG gameplay loop across, but there'll be way more toys and mechanics implemented later for sure. Melee and E-warfare in particular. #GameDev #IndieDev #godot #Devtober #Mecha #lowpoly #Heavensfall

Crystal is the perfect character to introduce the Bond mechanics for us. She's practically Yurushi's already best friend by the time Heavensfall takes place, aside from being her maintenance technician. She's...enthusiastic, about her job. #digitalart #indiedev #yuri #Heavensfall

A screenshot of the game HEAVENSFALL. A unit targeting a capsule shape in 3D space. 5 lines are drawn from the attacker, to the centre, top, bottom, left and right of the capsule. All lines are blocked by a building, except one.

Benefit of having a messy desk:

Using empty mugs to visualise 3D space when working on AI targeting.

They even have a handle for which way they're pointing, it's perfect.

Is it even possible to buy a dumb TV anymore? I just want something that displays moving pictures sent to it via HDMI

Two character reference images on a grey background. The one on the left is labelled "Crystal Saint-Claire, Chief Engineer, Mechanical Service Bottom." She wears a white labcoat, glasses, and sandals. Her eyes are blue, and her hair is a bright auburn ponytail. On the right is "Yurushi, ANGEL Unit 0, Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl Bot." Yurushi is a visibly robotic girl with white and bronze armor plating from the neck down. Her face is more human, with green eyes and light blonde hair. There is a curving strand of her hair that resembles a halo.

Our first two characters, courtesy of @tg-marlo.bsky.social ! These two are inseparable - a prototype robot girl and her maintenance engineer/best friend - which is good because #Heavensfall is as much about relationships as it is about giant robots. #indiedev #mecha #yuri #digitalart #robotgirl

I don't trust people who wear cowboy hats

Prior to this project, I'd never worked in 3D, nor had I programmed an AI before, so I'm pretty damn proud of what we've managed to accomplish so far.

It's been a lot of fun ^^

The basic enemy AI is working nicely now. The presentation isn't pretty, but having the functional bones put together is still incredibly exciting - especially since even those basic elements are surprisingly engaging. #indiedev #gamedev #heavensfall #mecha #godot #lowpoly #mech

a cat under a desk, looking like a tiny dingus I guess

sincerely addressing my cat as "tiny dingus" and pretending like it's normal human behaviour

I hope GDExtension works, because I can feel myself getting closer to diving down that rabbit hole so I can write in Odin or something

Why can't I bitshift floats in GDScript.

I had such a cool idea and now I am sad.

Is this "game developers have used AI since the days of pacman" all over again?

It is a little confusing when looking at it from that perspective, but the docs do cover the default theme -
docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tu...

If you have a pile of money and you're not funding artists to make cool shit then you've got some confusing priorities my guy

"I wrote too damn much about how payment processing works and what happened to Valve and Itch and I know no one's going to read all this crap, but it's out of my brain now. voidfox.com/blog/payment... "

You beat me to it! Butz is the man. I've worked with him for years on several different projects, and I can't recommend him highly enough.
