Just learned about Priapus and I am now endlessly curious how he'd be imagined in a God of War game.

Yeah, this is our indie game 💊🐈‍⬛ #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamedev

Extra props to Team Meat for (re)posting this on twitter on the same day of SMB 3D's launch.

Naming my own (Front Right) controls: LimbTarget_FR Each time reading my controls: Limb Target, For Real

Houdini APEX doesn't let you animate with quaternions as far as I can tell. The gimbal lock was pretty bad even for small test anims, so all hail the LookAt Knife.

frodo: the burden of The Ring is so heavy, sam. and it plays tricks on me. it twists things until they’re unrecognizable, makes me see things that aren’t there sam (pokémon voice): samwise gamgee

Every now and then I think of returning to TotK to upgrade outfits, and then I remember my ENTIRE playthrough's supply of Star Fragments was wiped out merely upgrading Sheik's Mask.

It is International Transgender Day of Visibility. WOOSH! You have become visible.

missing a few sounds, but a more focused intro to force the player to figure out they can climb up walls I think is effective

hello FREAKS it is time for video game development yet again. come watch me make sad robots hit things

"Relaxing video game music" look inside low BPM track that builds to an emotionally powerful crescendo

That grieving time when you realize your framework has a huge flaw and you have to restructure much of it.

Watchin' Superjail again

S&P 500 is down from 6 months ago

My chud son is starting a podcast

Me starting game dev: I don't really get why everyone is so crazy about ECS. Me after optimizing a game: Oh, that's why.

The first caveman to experience a thunderstorm:

I don't "learn" things. I interpret data sets. And when I don't have the data, I make shit up.

@quitedan.bsky.social Tonight (March 19) 10:30pm EST my friend will stream Squirrel with a Gun on his show First Fifteen. 3 games 15 mins each, & a mini review of first reactions. It will be 1 of 3. He welcomes developers & fans of the game to join in chat. Live or VOD after: www.twitch.tv/kelph1

Happy night for this gecko. There were flying termites all over.

Character riggers: What coloring rules do you use for the controls (arms, legs, spine, etc)? #gamedev #indiedev

*Courage the Cowardly Dog scream*

My game loop! I can't enjoy without learning the game loop!

Found a cat

hey it's that guy who's really good at speed running

This term "parent" will really help laypeople intuit object hierarchy! See, a parent may have any # of children like in real life, but a child can only ever have 1 parent, less so like in real life. Changing hierarchy is called parenting, and it is always unclear which is the parent in this case.

Bullshit: Playful, jokey. Horseshit: Vulgar, scary.

Hey, paisanos! It's-a Mar10 day!🤌 Wah-hoo! Don't-a sue me!

Found a cool talk about the Slitherfang movement in Forbidden West (starts at about 46 minutes) gdcvault.com/play/1027894...

#gamedev #indiedev #ue #UnrealEngine Instead of changing material parameters on CPU Tick, I've started to just set a "Start Time" param and allow the Time node interpolate the rest on GPU. But I was curious when the floating point accuracy breaks down. Here are the results:

Oh that's right, honey. The listen server model is inherently insecure, so we needn't fret over some client-authoritative events for a PvE game.

Not cute, the Line only does this when it's in distress.

Bison, but with a dinosaur sail instead of musculature.

Bad: Doesn't work when it should. Very Bad: Works when it shouldn't.

Bug turned out to be a silly little thing instead of me misunderstanding something fundamental about replication again.

It's exciting getting into byte data types to save on multiplayer bandwidth. I've never had much use for them in single player, what with out magnificent modern computer machines.

I've got a hunch today's stream of totally normal Dream Drop Distance is gonna be a good one!!! Our trivia is all about the needlessly terrorized bees of the Kingdom Hearts series. yeah really, fucker www.twitch.tv/regularpatyt

Working on a way to search for a friend's server with relative ease by selecting an adjective, color, "job," and animal. (tag yourself!)

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Most of FFXVI has left my memory, but No Risk No Reward remains www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ1t...

Uncanny!

My next game won't have loading screens. However, when you enter a new level, the player WILL need to view a mandatory dancing clown animation that lasts between 3 and 20 seconds.

Me and who 🥺🥺
