Entiendo que es difícil organizar un evento, pero si ya era feo no pagar la charla a l@s ponentes patrios para dejar la caja en traerse a famosetes de fuera, ahora me encuentro que ya ni se cubren gastos de viaje. Vale, si no hay dinero, mejor prescindir de famosetes y se hace kedada en el discord.

I mean...

Built a new version with the latest updates and played through every level on my Playdate to make sure I hadn't broken anything. At the start, I didn't even know if this was possible. Now playing it feels surreal. Which reminds me: Celebrate each win, no matter how small, they matter on their own.

Playing the Biohazard 2 beta and comparing the old police station to what we got in the released game is fascinating, a great lesson in level design. The old level was... fine. Realistic, samey, aseptic, bland. The new one returned to the more unrealistic design, with more "out there" architecture

Tras ver que la respuesta ante el canon de la sgae que hizo dinero a costa de arruinar las distribuidoras locales de informática fue nula, sé que nos va a tocar vivir con internet continuamente bloqueado y con servicios dejando de funcionar de forma totalmente aleatoria. Y van a por las VPN también.

Looking at System Shock 2 I've realized how simple their textures are, some are just black and white. They let the lighting do all the work... some good references for my Playdate prototype 👀

Hello darkness my old friend... I guess I'll have to start working on this 💀

Nobody talks enough about how much of game dev is just... not quitting. Just showing up again after the build breaks, the pitch is rejected, or the playtest doesn't go as planned. if you're still here, that counts for something! #gamedev

Spanish dev: we can't tell you anything about the game, it's very secret, not even signing NDAs, we can't allow anyone to know about its development, not even the players... especially the players!

Making games is hard.

First two done. One more to go! (tomorrow).

TBH my chart is more like this

Los dos perros.

Complexity in game design is like weight on a space shuttle: you want as little as is necessary to achieve your goals. This is primarily true in player-facing systems, but it's also true on the backend, because player perception is the scale at which different outcomes are legible.

If there’s even a chance project might get localized, when you’re designing your ui take a reasonable piece of placeholder text and translate it to German before deciding whether you have “enough room”.

Another one. Cuts (swords, knives, etc) feel MUCH more like cuts if the hitstop occurs after the weapon has passed through the opponent, with some kind of slash VFX / smear on top. Hitstop while the weapon is overlapping with the opponent can feel more like a blunt strike. bsky.app/profile/cata...

Don’t assume the team testing your work knows everything you do. In fact, assume they know nothing and provide exhaustive documentation. Visual targets, known risks, the reason for the feature, design specs, etc. Arm your QA team with knowledge and you will get bugs you never would’ve thought of.

If measuring performance, always talk about milliseconds or microseconds, never frames per second. You can do math with milliseconds - add them up, subtract them, average them, etc. You cannot do math with FPS, and you look like a newb if you try.

So I guess today is the day. I'll try to get my seamless map loading working in my Playdate prototype. I like it the way Half Life does it, so I'm going to see if I can use the same approach...

Build your core gameplay framework like this: - Entity actions - Buffs/debuffs - Attribute set / property bag - Tags - Support inheritance - Data-driven, designer-driven workflow With that your team can build almost any game without collapsing under complexity: platformers, RPGs, 1v1 fighters...

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

While fascists were busy killing hundreds of innocent people, the DEI woke mob went to the moon and back.

Os juro que cada vez que leo "guadalindie" pienso que porque no se celebra en Guadalajara 🤔🤔🤔

Millennials and genz just trying to go about their day while the world is about to end.

Now we can say "the last time humans went to the vicinity of the moon women would die of miscarriage because of the abortion bans and girls and women access to education, sports, healthcare, etc. would be systemically denied and illegalized all over on Earth because it was considered political".

Día de limpieza. El botón A no terminaba de registrar todas las pulsaciones, así que ya tocaba limpiar contactos 🤓

Tiene que ser la leche poder ser "apolítico", enviar tu currículum donde sea, currar en cualquier país o empresa. Yo mientras me paso el día viendo este tipo de mensajes lanzados por los dueños o "compañeros" de los sitios donde tienes que intentar conseguir un puesto para no morirte de hambre.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Organizar una "master class" en tu centro formativo de una empresa cuyo CEO se pasa el día soltando proclamas machistas y anti LGBT, es darle voz y promocionar ese discurso, o las charlas de creación de videojuegos son apolíticas, aunque el resultado sea un all cis male panel de pensamiento único?

Here's a picture of Christina Koch using hardware I designed the electronics for and wrote the firmware of

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

La próxima vez que un opinologo saque su columnita llorando xq los hombrecitos de ahora no se sienten representados le pasáis esto.

Replaying Thief and Half Life in software mode to study their level design. They still look great, I personally think that even better without texture filtering.

Con la de cosas que hay que criticar de la formula que nos han metido... Esto es de lo más inocuo que han hecho, un spot publicitario que no molesta a nadie en absoluto. El circuito si que es un problema real.

Buenas noticias: he podido reparar el OSCC, ya vuelve a funcionar tras reprogramarlo ❤️ menudo susto me dió 😅

Cada vez que veo una "anécdota" de estas de pareja me dan ganas de gritar

It would be so easy to be "apolitical", to hide your ethics, your ideals, your real self, and just be the most bland, normal, popular persona of today. You'd be invited to everything, get all the gigs, be promoted. Being a sellout is so easy: you just need to sell your soul, then it's all profit.

El PSOE tiene una larga relación con la industria de los videojuegos española, los Pérez Dolset pueden dar fe de ello.

Cuando te pones a investigar la logística para poder vivir en una camper mientras viajas de país en país y teletrabajar te das cuenta de lo poco que le gustan a los gobiernos que tengamos libertad de movimiento. Y lo más triste es que estamos perdiendo esos derechos, el Schengen se lo están cargando

Buenas noticias al fin: parece q Nikita con la dosis actual el tratamiento funciona. Kira esta tarde me paso a recoger los resultados del PCR y parece que es lo que sospechábamos, también tiene tratamiento. Ambos ya son crónicos, pero por lo menos con tratamiento mejorará su calidad de vida.

Por culpa de ir a buscar un enlace he encontrado otra pala de machismo rancio de la comunidad retro española 💀 Aún sabiendo el panorama, cada vez q le echo un ojo a las opiniones de 💩 de los q se consideran muy tolerantes, los de "ni feminismo ni machismo, croquetas" me entran los siete males.

Tenéis hasta las 19:00h de hoy para disfrutar de un descuentazo del 67% (9,56€) en #TheStoneOfMadness, título que sacamos el año pasado en @thegamekitchen.com... ¡que no todo va a ser Blasphemous! 😁 Por si no lo conocíais, os dejo aquí unos videos resumen en la cita y el link a STEAM. 💗 🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽

"El fascismo sube xq los jóvenes de ahora se sienten olvidados por la sociedad" Bitch, nuestro idioma literalmente usa el masculino como género por defecto y nos pasamos nuestras vidas excluidas de todas las comunicaciones sociales, nosotras somos la otredad. Y votais genocidio por leer "todes"?

Menos mal que siempre me aseguro que mi renta me salga ligeramente a devolver. Este año que no tengo otros ingresos se agradece especialmente 😅

When a meme has better writing than your latest official game you know you're in trouble. youtu.be/OCZXvblpNSM

Se que me repito pero este último episodio de Invincible...

"Coherence but in space" someone please let's make this movie.
