Ah! Sorry I didn't know you were in there

/13 Why? For proximity to power. For prestige. For attention. Some tongues were made to praise God. Some tongues were made to sing. Some were made for poetry, some for prose, some to agitate and some to soothe. But some tongues were made for the boot.

J6er Jake Lang got punched yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan during his anti-Muslim march.

How I started making indie games: - Learned programming in undergrad - Used Unity for a psychology experiment (VR stuff) - Kept a "normal job" for ~10 years - Did many game jams for fun - Got a master's in CS - Decided to "make a real one" and overscoped :) #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

November morning, A neighbor came to visit Get outta there you!

A few Dwarf Fortress sketches

TT1 did not dissapoint! Hard to photo because of poor lighting. We can't wait to share the in-game versions with you. These will be the players refuge. #gamedev #Egyptology #art 😍😍😍

All that work for a small change... The purpose of the vision approximation is to cull destinations for combat; the enemies should choose locations that they will be able to see you from after all! #gamedev #indiegame #fps #indiefps #unity3d #solodev

Get ready for.... The ANGELINE ERA RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT!! We'll be premiering it live, Nov. 17, 9 AM Pacific. See you soon, Bumpslashers! ⚔️ youtu.be/VU9i_DK2kc4?...

Scrapping the bilinear filtering for the vision approximation, testing out some simpler versions. The final version here uses a weighted average, which seems to give pretty good results! #gamedev #indiegame #fps #indiefps #unity3d #solodev youtu.be/dpbHLJJrKUs

i have a lot of trouble with self-promotion, but i lost my insurance and SNAP benefits a few months ago due to federal level hijinx, and am really struggling with the day to day right now. i could really use your help! i'm trying to get back up to $1000. www.patreon.com/vacuumflowers

More work on the vision approximation system. I'm able to get the data out, but the interpolation needs some work (there shouldn't be any discontinuities). If anyone has a method getting barycentric coords based on angles, I'm all ears! #gamedev #indiegame #fps #indiefps #unity3d #solodev

our next game is about getting swole as FUCK with the homies. in order to facilitate that, we've built a rig that allows individual muscle groups to scale up and change shape. are you a bad enough dude to skip left leg day only?

Felix Zhou's u-Segment3D is out: www.nature.com/articles/s41... It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a ‘consensus’ 3D segmentation. It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Indie Game Roundup (November 8, 2025) virtualmoose.org/2025/11/08/i...

Adding the vision checks meant that the old "store in texture" version needed to be upgraded. The data itself wasn't bad, but storing it on disk took a couple of versions. Best of all, it compresses into basically nothing! #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #solodev

Hey #PitchYaGame, for the past 18 months I've been workding on 𝘚𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦, a sword-and-sorcery retro-FPS! ⚔️ Fast and impactful combat 🏃 First person stealth and parkour 🎮 Gameplay inspired by Dying Light and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Follow here on Bsky for updates!

Lastly, action games are highly-concurrent, formally an intractable series of interlocking differential equations without closed-form solutions. So we use numeric approximations, which in variable timesteps introduce intrinsic RNG . So high-level players cannot reliably "reach the ceiling."

Code is cheap. Of course this is a nuanced topic but I generally feel this way.

Adding in pre-calculated vision approximations: each voxel gets 26 casts and the distances are recorded, totaling just 30 bytes per voxel! Still need a way to query this, but this will help enemies choose sensible locations in combat! #gamedev #indiegame #fps #indiefps #unity3d #solodev

Due to a race condition in the initialization, you could occasionally kick your own ass. Might consider this bug a feature 🤔 #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #fps #indiefps #solodev

Do folks have suggestions for heuristics for NavMesh distances? Need a way to know which destinations are "close" without actually running the calculation... Just using eucliean distance keeps having them choose points on the other side of walls... #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #solodev

Missing cohost rn...

Fixing an issue with steps (that the NavAgent doesn't recognize) and added jumping/dropping to round out the humanoid movement. Still need to update the animations to match, but this should be all the control systems done! #gamedev #indiegame #fps #indiefps #solodev #unity3d #screenshotsaturday

Made egg drop soup for the first time. It's pretty simple, just egg + drop

It's nice watching old movies cause that shit actually happened sometimes
