I still like to pretend Facebook is relevant and post long, obnoxious rants there. If it's worth saying enough to make people nope the funk off in the first paragraph, it's worth putting on Facebook. www.facebook.com/Benjamin.Mar...

Maybe a charming messy? The heart of animation is in the humanized parts. The brush textures, organic glitches and thumbprints in things are things of the soul of creator and creation, or something.

My @Bandcamp fan club is live. No merch yet—just me doing it solo: art, code, music.

People spend $$ on unused subs. I’ve got albums and a Steam game on the way. That’s more than nothing.
Support helps. One crash, one rebuild at a time. 💜

Updated my bleep bloops on Bandcamp for Circuit Bent Syndrome. More coming soon—assuming the Effexor withdrawal doesn’t zap my brain into a fine mist. Making games is hard right now, so I’m anime-binging until my soul reboots. 💀

New stuff, saves and modular ship system points that allow parts mounted on parts. You can mount parts onto parts that have mounting points. Modular ships are comming along great. Also a save system is in place but still needs things to save. Needs sectors, more parts, roguelike thi...

The updated Blaster Kit is now available! Each blaster has been remade and now has more detail, all models share a single texture (optimized!) and both scopes and magazines are removable ✨

Free to download, and use. No need to give credit!

Well, I decided to accept all friends on Facebook and see if I can squeeze any networking or promotional use. It feels like I'm doing something. I'm not. I'm kinda just reporting people that steal other people's photos and try to catfish with them. Maybe I can get some attention here. X is bad too.

She all like, "Mmm, I wanna just snort him up my nose."

Laying down: does it make you lazy? Can you work vertically? I think I'm having trouble focusing since I set up compy in the bedroom, but it's just so comfy and I can drift in and out. But I can't really get as much done and I get distracted even easier. Maybe I should try upside down? Inside out?

That was a low blow... 😏

I've got a question for you fellow gamedevs: How do you plan your levels? Paper, clay, lego, in engine/3d, greyboxing, etc.? I'd love to know.

Ripples says hi, btw! 😁

Been using Blender's Grease Pencil a lot for 2D/3D design lately, but also VR and—heh, lucid dreams lately. I get too much REM sleep and the majority of my dreams are development dreams because my head is in it somting stronk!

YouTube video by Chet Callahan Creators: if you're ambitious but lazy, please watch this

I needed to watch this. I have a hard time with advice. It's not that I don't take it, I just end up winding other ideas into the advice so it's a strange creature to tame when I go in, with a strange creature, but not great plan. This seems like a great plan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES4q...

I feel like some people are aware enough of the Dunning-Kruger effect as a concept that they overcompensate and curb their intuition. Anti-Dunning-Kruger effect? Unconscious competence and imposter syndrome could cause them to judge others as well? I know nothing.

A techno-hermit here. I think it was pretty on the nose. Be proud of your work. I avoid technology that I can't personally have exact control of what goes in and out. Otherwise, I'm using it wrong on purpose by installing plugins that block both "features" and my ability to scroll.

Quantum Drifter by Gemini Squish Games Prototype for my space shooter inspired by Asteroids, Solar Jetman, Factorio and others.

I uploaded a web version of Quantum Drifter. I don't know if this will support future versions or not, but for now it might work? Let me know. gemini-squish-games.itch.io/quantum-drif...

Update for PreChristmas Alpha status, yo! Hope to have a first demo before Santa comes! Started the Blender version of the default ship. Note the Pod and pilot. The escape pod will give you a chance to get back to your station. The Pilot graphic is for testing out other things, but also....

Development update for Quantum Drifter:

YouTube video by Ben "Hair Done Hat" Allen Space Shooter - Devlog - Nov 2 2024

It's been a while. Some updates on my top-down space shooter ditty, devlog time: youtu.be/gc8m8jrc_b8

Its home for Alpha is here: gemini-squish-games.itch.io

Let's get excited and make this a great game... um, as soon as I release the demo. Which will hopefully be soon.

It may not be called Fatalspace: The No-No Zone by the time I'm done wit it but it's still a thing I'm doing. In Godot. For great Justice and all the Ziggs I can take off. Gotta wonky prototype and Alpha versions will be here: https://gemini-squish-games.itch.io/fatalspace-the-no-no-zone Modular Stuff Update (Fatalspace is still Go, like Thunderbirds but less so)

Had a tough May! Lots of wonky things and ick but I managed to plunge a bit into the alpha of my Shooter. I'm not referring to it as anything in particular. I get a bit carried away with the future, dreaming, and visions. So, it's a tentative shooter, with modular ship parts, youtu.be/JA70zNG3DeU

Check out my game as I develop it. gemini-squish-games.itch.io/fatalspace-t...

A space shooter with classic elements and more!

Latest Fatalspace update vid! 0.1.6p. Bombs are more dynamic and have settings giving them fun, tactical uses(still wip needs tweaks). NPC Dialogs with Animal Crossing like voices! Better Shields and fixes so I can use a better physics engine than the Godot default.

Yo, I gots a Trello, with a somewhat organized feature plans + roadmap kinda dingdong dingus going on. Check it here: trello.com/b/OQxw21Eh/f...

Love them. They've really grown big as an indie and make some great titles that keep my attention.

Right? I hope that's a popular concept and I can have moments of fast drift, turn and pew while also that feel of playing moving Operation with finesse hopefully with lateral options for everyone's play style.

Fatalspace: The No No Zone by Gemini Squish Games Prototype for my space shooter inspired by Asteroids, Solar Jetman, with humor inspired by pop sci-fi parody favorites. Available for Windows

Hello! I hope you will take some time to check out the game I'm developing on my itch.io page. It's still prototypey but coming along. Gamedev is hard and I need interested people and funding if you are interested. I have a devlog there also. gemini-squish-games.itch.io/fatalspace-t...

I'm not sure an open-world, top-down space shooter can be a bullet-hell. I've been trying to figure out how that would work. Not when you can just power boost away from the bosses if they spew thousands of pews at you. I can probably get inspired bythe genre. It'll lack the shape puzzlish aspect.
