So, I have been almost completely away from social media for a couple months now, and it's been bliss.
I'll be back as soon as I find some way to keep it within healthy limits.
I just hate it when people get duped by thinking computers are magic because computers are so fucking stupid and the mystique around them is perpetuated by evil grifters
friends! acquaintances! help!

A short story worth reading...
Back again at personal #GameDev for #GetKeyOpenDoor, my short #PixelArt platformer. This is the introductory level for Gargoyles. It's probably too hard right now, but I'm going to fine tune difficulty when I have all the levels laid out.

Okay I think this is probably the final iteration looks-wise, at least for the basic procedural animations
I made simple shadows on top of my deferred shading - no filters, blur, and pretty visible peter panning, but it works! 😎
Shadow mapping is done using Defold Camera component to "see" the world from the perspective of the sun light ☀️

A quick step-by-step on a pixel art slime.
I have 2 weeks off work for the holidays – something basically every white collar and union worker used to get but as negotiating power eroded has become a rare extravagance
Honestly? I can see why... I've gone 4 days without a deadline and all I've done is cook, make art, and think about socialism
Do you want to make an editor built in Defold?

I just learned something that I want to share;
1. Create an invisible box with an outer shadow
2. Create an invisible box with an inner shadow
3. Place randomly...
TA-DA. Free depth in your texture!
I feel this whole thread so much, I could have written it myself.
Oh, and me and a friend built a SID emulator in uni, but I don't remember the tool right now.
Good news: starting to feel a bit like going back to work on my personal gamedev projects.

A bit in a rough patch lately, and I prefer silence (and some boosts) over random rants and negativity. I hope ti be back posting something gamedev related soon.
Twists are a pretty interesting subject to me.
Overall, my stance would be that while twists by themselves are cool, at their core, they should be about reframing the story.
Something about the world, a character or the very narrative was concealed, but what exactly does this new knowledge mean?
When NOKOMA will be out on Steam, all the versions will have the full and some content:
- Puzzle mode with 150+ levels
- Arcade mode
- Daily Puzzles
- Daily / weekly missions
Can't wait to reach that milestone! 😍

Picture of the new bluesky icon with a slight inner shadow on the white butterfly that gives it a little volume.
Unpopular (?) opinion: I kinda like the new bluesky icon.
making games is great because you can make a source file called "caves" and it's all algorithms for generating caves.
Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements.
One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman:

Well, I lied. Having optional pickup items for each level means you need a level select screen to replay levels. Also, no more total play time but per level complete time. And the level select grid dictated that the game will have 30 levels total 😬

Dustgrave's Revelations Update brought improved visuals to many locations.
Still, our representation of a marble quarry is just people smashing rocks with pickaxes, because who really knows what people actually do in a marble quarry?
