i got a refurbed x390 for cheap and it's refreshing to use a laptop that doesn't die after an hour running on battery (looking at you, legion (gaming laptops were a mistake))

tempted to buy rain world for the third time

do isometric games adjust character move speed based on the projection angle or is the speed the same? because horizontal movement in screen space should be faster than vertical but it feels wrong.

which linux distro community is the most toxic? arch?

more games should be able to make players feel misery and dispair

gonna start a thread here with my findings (& tips for what i already have in my library):

so i just finished jeff vandermeer's annihilation and liked it. already ordered authority but while i wait will give the crystal world a try because i just randomly found out i have it at home lol

looking through the triple-i games on steam in case i missed something interesting during the showcase and is this really it?

gonna start buying obscure games with mixed reviews because a lot of the very-overwhelmingly positive recent purchases have been pretty dull

so so far the triple-i showcase seems to be “what if [game title] but with friends?” and i just feel like ugh

hey game developers, make your splash screens skippable pls

i played arc raiders for like 20 minutes after which i went “alright i’m gonna press that refund button” and downloading marathon now instead so let’s see

a lot of indie games aim to be the “indie [insert game title] on a budget” and that’s fine if that’s what you wanna do with your life but i wish there was more than 3 types of games being remade over and over again

since it's #wishlistwednesday, wanna wishlist my #indiegame? gonna be good (i think (at some point)) #gamedev

prepare for a hunt #gamedev #indiegame

guy and his scorpion dog rotating around their y axes near a tree #gamedev #indiegame

it's a tree #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

does anyone know if it's possible to work with faces in #picocad2 without having to select their vertices first? i would just want to click on a face and be able to move/scale/whatever it but not sure if it can be done.

alright i figured something out and now i can cook. i knew i'm not completely stupid, i'm just a slow cooker. pewpew. #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

jesus this post is over a year old, crazy how time flies. anyway, after a little hiatus i finally returned back to working on the game with a fresh mind and i might have decided on the name which is exciting #gamedev #indiegame

maybe that's not the way to go who knows #gamedev

tried to move my main character into the 3rd dimension lol #picocad2 #gamedev

people are like "making my dream game!" and then the game is metroid

help us obi-wan kenobi

what’s the best way to achieve the 360 degree freedom of movement you get with thumbstick on a keyboard? is it even possible without a mouse? #gamedev

seems that every time i’m in a mood for some bill callahan i find out he has a new album out. always a treat.

i’ve had this game idea where every character would have a mental state which would directly affect how they perceive things and their perception of the world would be projected into the world. it’s a bit vague but i wonder how i could model this, it might be interesting (or might not) to try out.

almost finished with there is no antimemetics division, what to read next? heard ra is good, any other recommendations? doesn’t necessarily have to be a qntm book but something in similar vein.

steam should have an option where instead of refunding a game you can gift it to a friend who you think might like it instead

is there a way to name a quad in aseprite, then parse the file and retrieve it? i stumbled upon slices, is that how i would go about it?

i’m starting to being allergic to auto battlers everywhere

all set #roguelike #gamedev

i like these prison cells this thing generates #roguelike #gamedev

dabbled a bit with some #roguelike things in raylib yesterday #gamedev

9 games

since it’s #bandcampfriday again

caves of qud

people say stuff like “making my dream game!” and then the game is zelda

i love it when steam goes from "have you heard of these traditional roguelikes?" only to present "oh ehm what i actually meant was these roguelite deckbuilders with metaprogression"

i want to set up a personal wordpress somewhere, where do people host?

just chipped in on this, stuff like this needs to exist

i messed up my turn logic and now these fuckers are coming at me faster than i can move aagh help #roguelike #pico8 #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

added movement with mouse to my tiny roguelike. the eternal question is whether to allow diagonal movement #roguelike #gamedev #pico8

every couple of years there’s one game that completely takes over me, i actually finish it and then leaves a void inside. makes me unable to play anything else for a while. nier, death stranding, disco elysium and pathologic 2 are some of those games. still waiting for this to happen again.

splash screen, logos, hud, ui, main menu, text

🎧 i tried putting some of my older music into my #indiegame as a test and it might just work™? #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

so i broke a bunch of stuff while doing so but now at least got some smooth movement so it was definitely worth it #pico8 #roguelike #gamedev

i really love pico8 but part of my brain always dies when i have to write code in lua

had a little time so i added inspect window for my tiny #roguelike #gamedev #pico8 #turnbasedthursday
