Thank you for sharing this. I got a lot out of this talk.

crossfade_sprites gdscript function that fades in a sprite and fades out another in parallel.

A useful little gdscript function to crossfade sprites.

Phew busy morning. Gonna highlight things I'm part of!

First: NEVERWAY IN A NINTENDO INDIE WORLD. RELEASES IN 2026!

Sooo happy to have them as part of @outersloth.com and loved that @saint11.art and @isadora.codes did their presentation in Brazilian Portuguese. So cool!!

Haha! Thanks! 20% sugar, mini boba, and fresh taro.

Nice list idea! Would love to be added if there's still availabubbletea.

both, haha

it certainly has its disadvantages esp with scaling and it's time-consuming, but a certain part of me likes that no one can impose their will on you. Once a proxy for value (AKA money) is digitized then it is beholden to the digital systems that control it.

yeah, there has got to be a technical workaround to avoid using visa/mc directly. Don't know much about it, but there must be obstacles/gatekeeping (by banks and lobbying by current monopolists?) that prevents more PPs from disrupting those 2.

would crypto currency work or just someone giving money without it being associated officially with the item for purchase?

or, yeah, I'd actually be ok with going back to shareware-like model--send me a msg with id of online giving transaction and I'll send you back a TLU to download the game. I'd almost be ok with snail mail and physical media for low volume purchases, but that maybe would not scale if things take off.

Maybe we can move to a world where you can still share your game on itch and the page has links to paypal/venmo/etc accounts to give money directly to itch and the game dev/publisher. That way it's not associated with the purchase of the game itself so payment processors can't prevent the purchase.

Looks fun to play and loving the ASCII art/effects.

Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine) Thoughts, tools, and libraries I use to make games

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.

You’ll grow things. You’ll lose things.
You’ll become something you don’t recognize.
Neverway trailer is out. Wishlist now on Steam

#NEVERWAY

Spent some hours playing with raymarched SDF primitives and smooth minimum to render a humanoid-like thing out of blobs. It was fun but takes endless hours tweaking the math in the fragment shader. #sdf #raymarch #gamedev

Hello and a warm welcome to you.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Had fun blending 3d SDF shapes. Now, making custom 2D Renderer for a classic roguelike. It's a single full-screen quad where fragshader renders tiles & sprites. Batches of quads likely not needed, although that would allow the pipeline to cull the vertices for me. Hoping to share screenshot soon.

I would like Custom/In-House Engine please!

I am building my engine in zig and OpenGL. Thanks!

Stay safe folks travelling to #GDC these aren't the fun times anymore.

I'm 47 years young and having a blast working on a game and homegrown game engine. Hope to share them with others one day soon-ish.

Finally was able to verbalize what Joe Rogan experience podcast's "business model" is --> Oligarch Laundering.
