A pixel art screenshot of a work-in-progress battle scene. The top of the image has an FFX-style "turn order" indicator that includes a screenshot of each unit's face.

Oh hell yeah.

I got scalable headshots working for turn forecast.

Because character unit appearance is composed at runtime, this one took a bit of work:

- Render the unit to a headless canvas
- Position headless camera
- In-memory screenshot
- Bind screenshot copies to UI

Thank you!

I've been working on so much the past several weeks without posting any screenshots.

Here's a new wingaling for a late #ScreenshotSaturday

My sprite fade out method wasn't removing drop-shadow shaders, which pins the mannequin (bottom) layer's alpha channel to 1.

So every time I tried to do a fade out, my sprites stripped naked before disappearing.

Hiiiiiiiiiii screenshot saturday! iv been solo developing my funny puzzle game Rhell for almost three years

Its a game where you combine key words to create 100,000,000 unique spell effects in order to solve puzzles

An official front-profile character sketch of John Hardin, a supporting character in Squaresoft's "Vagrant Story."

This guy's name is John Hardin.

Queer-ass game.

An official front-profile character sketch of Sydney Losstarot, primary antagonist of Squaresoft's "Vagrant Story." He is shirtless, his pants have a plunging waistline, and his shoulder armor ties around his neck with straps.

The primary antagonist Sydney Losstarot.

Queer-ass game.

Ashley's official figure includes a pound of cake visible through assless leather shorts.

Queer-ass game.

A behind-side profile character art of Ashley Riot, the protagonist of Vagrant Story.

Name a Squaresoft game that's more queer-coded than Vagrant Story. I'll wait.

Elementallis key art!
The Steam page is here, take a look! store.steampowered.com/app/1304280/...

I wrote a custom input registry stack for a previous version of this game and it is still serving me well a year later.

Go me. I rock.

This movie released on my birthday, which was just way too cool.

Amazing movie.

The first one. The weapon gets stronger against the enemy.

I think armor also gets affinity to protect better against enemies.

Oof. What an (old) brat.

A screenshot of the weapon equipment screen in "Vagrant Story," a classic PSX JRPG. The screenshot highlights a dagger named "Soul Kiss" and shows its damage affinities: Human: 0 Beast: 0 Undead: 26 Phantom: 14 Dragon: 0 Evil: 5

In Vagrant Story, the more you kill a certain enemy type with a weapon, the stronger it becomes against that enemy type.

You can rename your weapons, too, letting you build storied legends for each weapon.

"Soul Kiss, the dagger that silenced the restless dead of Lea Monde."

Anyone who chooses to say something like this to a stranger is entitled. If this is public, everyone who sees their comment will immediately recognize them as rude.

I'd like to think people who act like this are young. I know old, immature people exist, but this screams "rude pre-teen" to me.

Face reveal. Wrong answers only

We've submitted Quartet to lotcheck for approval on the Nintendo Switch. Playstation will be submitted shortly. Plan is to launch both at the same time.

Wish us luck!

Hey LLMs are people too! Why is it ethical that humans stay alive? LLMs aren't the only people collapsing society! I, Sam Altman, also consume energy and threaten to destroy us all. Where do we draw the line?

A screenshot of my steam homescreen, showing some of my classic JRPG games that I backed up to my library today: Vagrant Story, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

The magic of backing up my classic JRPGs and seeing them in my steam home screen will never fade.

4 panel silly comic in black lines only. A blob guy has a big pencil. It says “I draw”. In the second panel he seems happy with his drawing and it says “all done yeah”. Panel 3 shows him holding up the drawing of a triangle with legs and a happy face. He goes “come on”. In the final panel he’s very pleased with himself, closes his eyes and tells himself “I’m a bit incredible”

Come on

Btw, first time I've ever commented on your posts, so I have to say:

Big thank you for Iconoclasts. The game is a GOAT for me. Legitimately changed my perspective on life at a time it needed to be widened, and it's just a total delight to play, all around.

For sure. Games won't die as a medium.

I think a lot of people are feeling "Games are dying as a career," but vocalizing it as "Games are dying as a medium."

It's hard not to see the current moment as an employment void for thousands with no recovery in sight, and I feel that.

This tileset looks fantastic. I love it.

That's the problem. She didn't leave a prominent AI role.

Oops, sorry for the weird phrasing. I meant "Early player surge"

"Ship has sailed" was supposed to be a separate phrase.

I just had this last week with the boss at the end of Zanarkand.

Devs pull a "you die to cheese" mechanic, then you get to watch 5 cutscenes.

At Zanarkand:
- Don't remove zombie, or
- Cast auto-life

None of this upsets me as much as Bevelle Temple, though. That cloister is the playthrough ender.

I wanted to try it, and I'm worried by the time I do the early surge ship will have sailed and it will be even more inaccessible than it is now.
