This made me remember how in Fellowship the cave troll's death (even being CG) is presented in this... sad? tone, kind of humanizing how in the end it was a big dumb beast that died scared and confused, while the heroes dont say a word (and all look rightfully terrified even after it falls)

Cuando pensaba que la BSO no me podia gustar más llegó -esa- parte que reusa la melodía de Cold Spaguetti pero como si fuese un tema de pegar una paliza de los JoJos

No joke I'd watch some "unrestricted" olympics where everybody could just be doped out of their minds and wearing the most deranged contraptions to gain the maximum advantage

I want group B rally but for people

I dont want digital scanline generators, I want to use every pixel in a 4K flatscreen to mimic the screenmask of a Trinitron, and then I want a phosphor bloom shader applied at just the right level to make the picture appear cohesive, like a CRT

The logical next step after the guillotine is a man-sized Polytron

I was going through some old folders the other day and found one of my fave concepts done for my comic. I need to make sure Bob gets enough screentime 🥗💣

I've seen this happen before to other devs in other fests where their automatic system decides your game doesn't fit the criteria and after appealing for "human" review they give you a canned refusal... wasn't expecting for it to happen to me for a pvp fest of all things lol

It's alright Valve, my PvP game is not explicitly PvP enough for your PvP fest this february, it's cool, please keep sipping 30% of my income each month uwu

Hay comentarios que uno no sabe si es puro ragebait para pescar una reacción, si el que lo escribe de verdad piensa eso, o si tiene un fetiche de humillación pública

Mussolini was captured by Anti-Fascists, shot and his body was brought back to be hung from his feet in the public square.

¡Buenas tardes!

He hecho mi lista del desarrollo de videojuegos indie hispanohablante ❤️

Sé que faltan MUCHOS estudios y solodevs así que probablemente la lista irá evolucionando 🙏

Si crees que deberías estar en esta lista, escríbeme aquí mismo para incluirte ✨🦆

Se lo hizo y de hecho interactuaba bastante al principio, ha sido al salir rally edge que me he dado cuenta de que se lo ha borrado :(

Alguna vez lo vi postear sobre que le mosqueaba un poco la falta de movimiento aquí (la verdad es que bsky peca a veces de tener círculos un tanto "cerrados")

No está mal, pero hay que intentar hacer speedrun (la que he fallado era una que sinceramente la imagen era demasiado pequeña como para que viese un carajo)

"El mercado de la XR no despegaba"

Otro espabilao que se metió en temas de XR sin tener ni pajolera idea porque se tragaron las chorradas de los "gurús" que evangelizaban sobre cómo "en 5 años todo será VR, bro"

Lo único bueno de la IAburbuja es que nos libramos de estos pardillos

I remember this one, one of the most fun DTIYs I remember doing. I also miss the energy I had back then.

I did NOT think Dart Racer would get 10,000 wishlists in one day... turns out I was right.
But -1 is still very nice! ...wait

Escape From Mandrillia: Local Asymmetric VR+PC on Steam Local VR+PC horror: as a VR player, escape an underground facility full of giant alien monkeys. Up to 2 PC players can help you out controlling friendly drones... or crush you by playing as the enemy ...

Hola! Pues a finales del año pasado acabé (por fin) el Escape from Mandrillia. Multijugador local híbrido de terror (se juega con las gafas de VR y con otros dos jugadores en el PC ayudándote o aterrorizándote)

Me arrepiento de haberme metido en este berenjenal? sí. Volvería a hacerlo? también

One of my fave illustrations done for #biblioclash , a Finnish new tcg that just got funded on Kickstarter a while back! Working hard on finishing the final illustrations atm 💪

One of the most entertaining gamemodes of Mandrillia started as the shittiest possible sketch and I couldn't be prouder of it

This is from updating the editor for the security update right? I had to update mine like a week after the full release on Steam -I can't believe it didn't break anything (especially since for that project I was hard stuck on 2019.1)

BRAVO UNITY

I think gaming in general (VR or not) is in a pretty strange spot rn, but I have some hopes VR might see some slow organic growth rather than the explosive but ultimately artificial boom we saw from the Quest(s)... big question is will there be devs devving new stuff for it

I remember being surprised when I got to that part of the book, what an absolute bitch thing to do (and of course apparently Romero reacted like a normal human being)

The reason BSKY is 'boring' is because before all this algorithm tuning, if you wanted to find something that would be interesting to you, you had to look for it. You had to... search... and keep tabs... and write things down... it was actually really nice and felt rewarding but maybe I'm old.

Otro solodev por aquí (y buscando desesperadamente otros devs españoles chiquitos que también le den a la VR, según mis cálculos tenemos que ser al menos 10 en total!)

Coming from a cintiq 13HD that had terrible drivers and the flimsiest cable I went to a cheap ass huion 16 inch and never looked back. Also for these smaller models if your computer has a thunderbolt connector you only need that one single cable to use it, no power+usb+hdmi tri-cable shit

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.
