that miniboss can't take bullet damage while the armor's up... except while it's entering the level thanks to some physics hiccups :(. Fixing! Fixing.

adding cute lil' eye bats to let you pick your boss fights!

just realized the background pipes aren't moving in this vid 💀.

really pleased with this dork's weird attacks and how you can match-3 to get around its shields.

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

10 snow days sure did wreck my work schedule, but my kids are going to school again.

Death Starfish is incoming!

A black lab mix in a snowy field opens its mouth, preparing to catch a snowball that is midair in the photo.

The dog’s teeth encircle a snowball, about to catch it.

A dog catching snow in its mouth. Slight surprise enters its eyes.

Dog.

co-op is coming to Match Shot Chimera!

It wasn't in the plans a month ago, but spending the holidays with family can change priorities!

The queue for conflicting block shots was a pain to make. I hope you never notice it ;)

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

This next trailer at the game awards is from a small, independent solo indie studio that paid 250 THOUSAND US DOLLARS for this next independent indie trailer

Repost for the mornin' folks! Remembering how much time I spent animating those conveyor belts, and seeing how unnoticeable they are now... 💀

New boss incoming for Match Shot Chimera!

MAW MAW is a mother and a mouth. And a deadly robotic factory. Introducing garbage blocks that turn into homing missiles and bombs! Hooray!

I've got more to do, but I'm hoping to get an update with two new bosses out soon! #gamedev #shmup

Two hands have an idea to give each other matching tattoos. Lefty gets a beautiful eagle tattoo rendered on their arm. Now it’s Righty’s turn to be inked, but he looks scared as Lefty wields the tattoo gun to draw a childishly-drawn sloppy eagle

Trying to decide if I should name this koi boss Carp Diem or if I should go all out with Carpy Die 'em. #gamedev

it is always so fun working on high areas of the map and fine tuning the beautiful vistas you see from up top :)

- work in progress!

(game is ABYSS X ZERO for those who do not know! an upcoming low-poly 3D metroidvania, developed by me and @ironfairy.bsky.social)

This seems like such a good idea both design-wise and for how within the dev’s wheelhouse it is. Thrilled to see it!

XF Extreme Formula - "Chapters" 0 & 1 - Trailer. YouTube video by LakeFeperd

Ooh, new trailer for XF: Extreme Formula, and it's leaving early access this October?

F-Zero like racer by the Spark The Electric Jester dev. And it looks like there's going to be a lot of walking, talking and brawling outside of the cars between races. Which is basically all I wanted from F-Zero.
