YouTube video by Retro Pixel Lizard's Retro Game Dungeon Populous (Genesis) - Gameplay

While not exactly TD, if not already played, Populous. I liked the Sega Genesis port slight better than the PC version, but either way lots of fun if you like classic games.

Cold Coffee, Hot Lead in the holodeck.. you can find a copy in the restricted Isolinear chips Barclay keeps in his sock drawer…

why... why... why would Unity make the *default* for OneStateEnter in StateMachineBehaviour in animator run when the layer weight is... 0f. It's like they're trying to make this difficult for no reason. #gamedev

Me having big respect for OP but also having in depth experience that conflicts with OP’s opinion 😅

Nintendo as a publisher in this crowded market is just take a risk adverse position... In the last year publishers have admitted they don't know what gamers want to see and don't want to put forth >$100M to develop new IP that might flop.

I feel seen...

Solid choice.

Indie gamedevs on social media: Down with AI! Slop! Boo! Hiss! <terminator gif>

Indie gamedevs in the forums: So... wait... I can do full body mocap with my phone and not have to touch the dopesheet or meddle with curves?

I totally get that new trek isn't for my generation, I've made my peace with it. ☮️✌

At this point I'm just looking forward to S4 of From returning 😅.

The new meshi v6 with beta low poly support... is like... wow.

I'm glad the government doesn't try to somehow prop it up. Bitcoin isn't supposed to be bailed out, that's why it was created in the first place. It's literally in the founding message of it being against bailouts...

Kurtzman & Landau literally confirmed they based STA off Harry Potter in an interview. Yeah, Jay-den's character felt the most authentic. I didn't see the last episode, I stopped watching after ep1 where Giamatti's character had a tic-tac-toe board shaved into his hair. I just... can't...

Well... since you're watching TNG, your take on Academy should be very interesting. I didn't care for it because I like grounded sci-fi with meaningful character narratives like TNG, Expanse, BSG, Devs, Westworld, Foundation, Silo... Academy is Harry Potter in Space & 60's batman zany.

Added a karambit knife and some ninja-esque stances/movement...

I’ve come to accept it’s not for my generation.

Star Trek Academy is to TNG as 60’s Batman is to Dark Knight… I just want watchable sci-fi again…

everyone wants a large tv and motion At lower Hz causes uneven motion on large screens. You can generally test if it’s off by watching water/river flow on a streaming, if it looks blocky/weird it’s off, if it’s smooth it’s on.

It’s called MEMC, Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation. Originally created as a way to reduce bandwidth and video compression In the 80’s and 90’s, dvds, early internet mpegs. It’s doing dedupe using motion vectors, adding frames instead of saving bits. TVs have it now because…

If it’s a game (6-8 weeks)
Unity (mostly free, sorta)
Synty Polygon ($50)
Mixamo ($0)
IClone/CC ($50/mo) design/mocap
Free tutorials on YouTube (codemonkey)

Just animation (3-5 days)
use AI for ~$100
OpenArt (nano banana pro & wan 2.6)
Elevenlabs (audio/lipsync)
Free tutorials on YouTube

Would swap out Buck Hunter for 1942, Gauntlet, Operation Wolf, AfterBurner, Star Wars, Rolling Thunder, Dragon's Lair, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Hang On, Donkey Kong, PacMan, or Double Dragon.

Looks really good... it's less about if players notice or care, but it adds additional details to the gameplay that makes the gameplay feel more interactable.

You're harshing on my morning indie gamedev vibes man... ☮️✌️

Steam controls the visibility, distribution, and essentially the income for indie gamedevs. There's no incentive for either steam or multi-billion bank/payment processors to change the model. Making gamers dislike crypto simply reinforced the solution model.

Steam bans blockchain and NFT games Valve is not allowing blockchain-based games or those featuring NFTs on Steam, as noted by Age of Rust developer SpaceP…

That is exactly what happened to me....

Gee... I wonder why Steam, Visa, and other payment processors were so against decentralized platforms and crypto in a $500B market that also fueled anti-crypto legislation along with grassroot campaigns in gamer communities to spread misinformation and propaganda.... 🤔

Unity: “We’re doing everything possible except make the engine better for gamedevs to make games. Yes, we could have done motion matching, fix our janky lighting in 3 pipelines, virtualized geometry, a character system, but Walmart gave us a pile of cash instead”.

As for Academy, it’s like Dukes of Hazard, Harry Potter, and Family Ties atom smashed together in a horrible sci-fi dramedy for Generation Alpha. The man villain had a tic tac toe shaved into his head in E1 and I tapped out.

Okay okay hear me out… not sure how far you’re into TNG, but S1 and about half of S2 is really rough… if you can make it to S3, you’re gonna make it to the end.

It is... to see what the UI does, you need to be in Play mode, especially if you use Animator for some nice fx. Then stop, edit, play, repeat. Worse yet, you have to add input code to handle every click, key, gamepad for UI. And.. it's 2026, why is there no snapshot save system for game engines?
