Welp Unity fork bombed my computer, joke’s on me.

We did it. GGJ2026 good night! Now for blogs? Need a break this year's been all gas https://zackxevious.itch.io/midnight-masquerade-ggj-2026 #globalgamejam #unity #gamedev

I love getting to the art push of a game jam, really comes together after seeing so many capsules

It's #globalgamejam and I learn (again) that Unity hates dwm :( back to KDE I go but now I learn Unity also hates alt-tabbing!? Fun to see Unity's familiar face again even if these problems are also a little too familiar. #linuxgaming #gamedev

Finally got my HTTPS server converted to #zig it is now handling WebSockets (for my Game), Gemini, HTTP (just redirecting), and HTTPS. All on one thread using epoll and openssl. I've got CSV statistics running for a while, HTTPS is certainly popular […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

I think it's really funny I'd rather write #zig to make a hundred symlinks than deal with regex/bash. Maybe it's that I know the zig will work (or error) before making a huge mess that requires another regex/bash script to clean up a hundred symlinks.

Ripping my parent's CD collection, fun time. My disk drive gets LOUD with *some* CDs, not sure what that's about, maybe that's the RIP part.

I have too much fun with Kirby air riders, no screenshot saturday, game on. 500th post, surprised to see it. I recently downloaded my facebook data over the course of at least fifteen years, wow! Maybe a dozen posts/replies on there, I suppose mastodon feels more open and fun! Maybe I have more […]

Threw together a video player! It relies on Godot's OGV stream player. Also seen: yesterday's Godot plush in-game. I want players to be able to make a home :) CRT model from loafbrr! https://loafbrr.itch.io/crt-tv-asset #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Love adding in-game Godot plush from this addon; also finally using that 4.5 stencil based outline. https://github.com/haunted-loaf/godot_plush_addon #godot #gamedev

Friends of mine have released their game! Check it out! I find it deceptively difficult! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3475110/Draggin/ #indiedev #gamedev

Fuck USA healthcare system and their horrible websites if it wasn't already a scam enough. Entire footer, contact, privacy policy, terms of use, all 404 pages. I have no idea how to log in and desperately hold onto the open tab until I guess I get mailed a physical card?

Games maps love to use "fog of war" systems that work best in RTS where vision is an advantage, but in survival crafting like Minecraft and Valheim filling out a map is an absolute chore, waddling around staring at the corner of your screen hoping you don't skip a pixel. Miasmata has a […]

Added this gzip bomb to my site (specifically the HTTP -> HTTPS re-director). It's fun to imagine it working but I'm mostly getting nmap/nikto scans that do not unpack gzip. Every now and then I do get a dropped connection while writing the bomb though, could be a fluke but I want to believe […]

I've been to the austin aquarium this week for my anniversary! Then I've been working on boring RISC-V compiler rewriting, but I wanted a #scre enshotSaturday so I threw together a "data graph" node to compliment the other wire-debugging "data display" #godot #indiedev #gamedev

For screenshot saturday I got a sum of sines water shader working! #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Haven't crochet'd in 3 years... 5 zig versions have passed.

I wonder if minecraft is any fun if you are trying to beat it

Having fun with gemini space, exploring, lots of good reading, and easy implementing. Think I mostly enjoy markdown/gemtext as a format. Hate that google stomped over it's name. gemini://gerthouse.com/ #gemini

I have a gemini capsule now :) it features a little blog about writing the server for my jam game and a note on the gemini server. gemini://gerthouse.com/ #gemini

Got exterior/interior working, now we can leave the ship and walk on land! Next I will need to add some kind of radio control and the ship can very much leave you stranded! And of course a better water shader :) if anyone has some real nice looking […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

So I've got a QR code scanning app that does me a great thing by simply saving the scanned links (few scanners do this, would you believe it?), but now how do I put this vault of links on my computer...

Finally I am done! Updated the jam game to work in-browser, play it! Leave a grave for the next player! Let's call it an off-by-one error for #screenshotsaturday https://gertkeno.itch.io/part-of-the-continuum #godot #indiedev #gamedev #zig

Was hoping to have this jam update out today but the itch page was locked again for a voting extension. Finished my TLS WebSocket server, in non-blocking beauty and only depends openssl, all #zig. I feel epoll is not so hard to reason about, may prefer it to using asio style libraries. epoll […]

Huh openssl isn’t that hard *clock reads 1:00 AM*

Glad to have a game jam done, but I don't want to show it off until I have a web-playable build. (so I am not tagging this, but will next week) Wanted to try out atomic style network operations, so I made a server store persistent data across clients. I'm afraid it could be considered an MMO […]

Anyone have experience with Crayzgames or Poki? Is ad-based game development for the web a worthwhile excursion? I feel like I only see my students play old games I used to play, or jank fnaf shooters lol. #gamedev

oh boy I did a OBS studio pull request; largest open source project I've contributed (or trying) to yet. Fun time working in C without the ++

No screenshotting this saturday for me, been re-writing my #riscv parser/assembler, mostly the parser part. After adding a in-game debugger it's become a lot easier to find bugs lol and my first parser was cooked up quick, one-pass mess, to try out the game. Debugger post here […]

very tired... want to play minecraft...

Added a debugger to my RISC-V programming game! Really helps to directly check registers and players can finally see error messages for their compiled programs. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

oh no I'm back on dwm and loving it! Taking time to learn and have systemd services take care of on-startup applications and services helps immensely with these lesser desktop environments

I've found something to do with the `ecall` instruction in my game's RISC-V sandbox! Connecting a "module" will change how the ecall functions but for testing it returns the epoch seconds in register a0 and fa0. I want to add GPS module where `ecall` […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Havin' fun loading hacks on the switch. Good for a laugh, but the HewDraw Remix is great for melee heads like myself. And it's fun to play BOTW as linkle

No screenshot saturday, been working on our typing game a lot though. May have an update here soon https://luckyson.itch.io/hextype-mechapop

Added a couple more wire tools? they're not exactly basic gates, since it's full i32/f32 data. Anywho I can make this horrible mess instead of using the computer for a total of four RISC-V instructions. I want to encourage programming so I'll ensure […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Working on rooms again now that I'm making the interior in blender. I live for automatic doors. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Bobo bay's demo just got an update! Real excited about this one. My username is part chao, did not know 'keno' was some form of gambling as a child, it is infact the randomly choosen name for my favorite chao. https://youtu.be/qaPXfHE5dzo?feature=shared

Working on blender-ifying my CSG models! Imported textures from juliovii on itch, feels like I'm moving into the backrooms atm... need to figure out that "art direction" thing. https://juliovii.itch.io/ #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

I have been writing a RSS reader/notifier for systemd users because I want notifications but I do not want a lil thing open all the time. Using libcurl has been a blast! libnotify *almost* a blast! It's great to run a program, it reads through a list of rss urls, and notifies if any pubDate is […]

Added wave totals to my plugin, so I can easily see how the health and value total of each wave scales :) I love making tools #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godot

I added a random number generator to my wiring + programming game, with it's model inspired by Cloudflare's Lavalamp wall for encryption. To avoid making the content I really need to I've been implementing all the graphics options I can think of. And […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Oops I made another display. Showing off the first one again with indexable pixels, then a 2 bit-per-pixel display allowing for much faster writing and bigger 16x16 images. #godot #indiedev

Goofin' around again, made a programmable display #godot #screenshotsaturday #indiedev
