Heya!
I'm magelock (they/them), I like coding silly stuff

currently working on a tycoon game about building computers, and a modding library for Disinherited, a game made by @drydenthomas.bsky.social !

I use godot to make games, and bepinex to mod (unity) games

i also enjoy making 3d art

An intellisense suggestion saying that I should replace a boolean variable with a ternary operator that returns true if the boolean is true and false if the boolean is false.

Intellisense is wild today

Thank you!! I really wanted to keep what was charming about the old one (and for a long time while drawing this I was starting to think I wouldn’t pull it off 😆)

Redesigned one of the oldest characters in my game this week! What do you think?

Old Redeye gives you the tools to survive… but he’s also a bit of a heckler.

(Hopefully it’s obvious which one is the new one 👀)

Thanks VCD, RIGHT back atcha!!!

Sometimes I wish github had a comment section so when a repo saves me hours and hours I could just comment “I love you”

finally got the dynamic music system working enough to be able to show it off. check out that seamless transition between main menu theme and game theme! #gamedev

Sometimes I’m writing a melody and it flows a little too well and I go “wait …

…am I stealing this?”

And there’s no search engine for that, folks

Heya! I’d love to be added :)

I’ve had an unfinished draft of this song for 5 whole years, and now it’s out!!

If you like noir-y stuff, Bond themes, or lofi, I think you’ll be into it

Advertising is just one piece of marketing. Marketing encompasses everything about how you fit your game into the current landscape of what’s being sold. Personality, visual design, gameplay hooks, target audience, gauging demand—it’s all marketing, for better or worse

Hey should I get Metaphor RE:Fantazio while it’s on sale even though the chances of me having time to play it in the near future are less than zero?

Oh gosh, I’m honored!! Thank *you!*

Ascend with meeee

Ayy thank you!!

BlackthornProd invited me back to be first on a Pass The Game Challenge, with the irresistible prompt that I could make whatever music I wanted.

Noir ensued!

A ghost saying “oh no”

Downloaded Balatro
Played for “a little while”
Guessed what time it was
Was wrong by 2 hours

Made a starter pack of Game Dev Youtubers. LMK if I missed anyone.

I actually removed Twitter from my phone and deleted my account.

It felt really nice.

All I was getting from it were notifications that tended to harm my mood… so there was really no loss 😅

a color coded image by Freya, comparing the summation and capital pi notation in math, to their equivalent in code using for-loops. The summation notation sums a set of elements, while the product notation multiplies a set of elements. Note that Freya is keenly aware that neither the math notation nor for-loops are fully explained by this image, and that this is only a subset of the use cases, so luckily you don't have to explain that to her, in case you were considering doing that!

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops

Woo thanks it worked this time! Last time I DMd the autolabeler it didn’t reply (it was super new at the time so I figured I’d come back to it later haha)
