You know you've reached gold gamedev level when you spend hours hunting down the cause of a performance problem and it turns out to be Windows or Nvidia driver issues that you have no way to control, fix or account for.

Illustration of the serpent elf Prinzessin Schlangenfratze, holding her ritual mask fashioned from the egg she was born from.

Prinzessin Schlangenfratze was the first of the serpent elves to be produced from the seventh elder wyrm. Shamed for her apperance, she made a mask from her birth-egg for a ritual to be reborn as someone else. The ritual instead rebirthed others into the first serpent elf tribe.

So far, the decision to make games has been financially disastrous.
Out of respect for the hard work going into indie games, I've pretty much stopped picking them up on sale and usually go for the extras too.

Microsoft support 'cracks' Windows for customer after activation fails In an unexpected twist, a Microsoft support engineer resorted to running an unofficial 'crack' on a customer's Windows PC after a genuine copy of the operating system failed to activate normally. It s...

Usual discretion with running stuff from the internet is advised.
BUT
It's open source and it has been around for several years. Apparently even MS Customer Supported uses it (though I wouldn't overstate their competence...): www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

So I'd assume it's safe.

I feel like we're stuck on repeat now, because decentralized alternatives are too much work for people that just want to be served endless garbage.
Any platform owned by a single entity will inevitably go to hell, because that entity wants to make money.
Except Newgrounds, somehow.

The timeline worked its magic

Five years into this bullshit and tech is still trying to figure out how to make money from AI.
Meanwhile the only industry that has been "supercharged" by this horseshit is scams and phishing.

Decided to replace the boring lines of kesh stars with more fun shapes.

🎃October is here! 🎃

By the way, Little Nuns will celebrate its 1400th on the 9th.

Holy shit that's sick! Basically what I always wanted to make but it already exists!

1396. People can change.

Drawing of Lina Inverse I did a while back!

Boy am I glad that I used consistent naming for all sprites. Makes grouping relatively painless.

Turns out the source of the micro-stutter issue was texture decompression. Just prefetching ALL textures solves the issue completely, but I feel like that a game like this shouldn't require almost 2GB of VRAM, so I'll be doing a bit of grouping and targeted preloading.
Big relief, tho

I've hit a real headscratcher.
Very rarely, the game *seems* to micro stutter, but the FPS is rock solid, the profiler shows nothing, I'm 80% sure it's not the camera having a freak-out and it feels wrong for the movement code to randomly get weird or something.
I'll sleep on it.

No worries, I assumed that but not being a native english speaker myself, I thought I'd ask

Trying to fix issues for 4k resolution when you don't have a 4k screen is a whole issue unto itself.
