Wtf did I miss StarFox news?

Me in therapy: "I wanna tell everyone who wants to embrace AI in our workplace to stfu, and I want to be somewhat hostile about it-- please tell me not to." Therapist: "No can do. You need to yell at nerds for your mental health. That'll be $150 please."

Every metal show in Toronto is dreadfully oversold

Too much juice? #gamedev #explosion #blastfx #godot #oops

Let's play "WHAT IS MATT GETTING AT?" So, humankind already possesses technology to travel space way faster than we do, bringing Mars and beyond within reach. But we never built this, because for it to work, the material cost, danger, and surrounding ethical concerns were too great.

Tonight's drone. #shmup #lowpoly #godotengine

People have children, and they rightly wanna raise them instead of doing creative nerdy shit with me. But that's where my queer friends come to the rescue. They will always be there to do nerdy shit with me. #friendOfGayDorks

Smart investors know it's all about Landfills in New Mexico.

@tributegames.com it's not presently possible to play Panzer Paladin on Switch 2! :(

With all the engine finagling almost done, I can return to streaming and game art-- that's more fun to post. Then I can drum up trailers and hype, etc. #godotengine #thunderaxis #shmup #lowpoly

0.4mm is the correct size for a felt tipped pen. At least if you're writing small enough to fit in the lines of a Leuchtturm 1917. #papryophilia

Today I ate a bagel with hot honey, cream cheese and chives. And I did it without writing a single line of code. (I'm gonna end all my social media posts with that like LinkedIn AI bros, especially when I procrastinate and therefore don't write a single line of code.)

A brief tale of a bad-ass.

I moved my CG learning community to Matrix: matrix.to#/#rtcreative... If you have CG expertise or need CG help, whether for #GameDev or #Animation, come help me repopulate so we can help with #Maya, #Python, #Godot, and more.

Dies Irae? Dies Nuts. (That's been burning within me since I thought better than to say it on a stream lest I be banned for life by @cranewreck.ca )

I've debated with 10 year old nephews who come at me with more defensible stances than this.

⚡🌐! (No good emojis for this!)

This one hits hard.

Due to popular demand, here is a demonstration video of how to make 3D printed PCBs using just vector drawing software, a 3D printed (PETG filament for mine) and self-adhesive copper tape. Any questions, let me know!

Any word on everyone's post Discord platform choice? #Discord

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

What does it mean that most people I butt heads with in this industry have "#open to work" on their linkedins? I'm down to gloat and enjoy schadenfreude but also-- what could it mean? Any force making jobs vanish is concerning.

if you’re in line to hate AI, STAY IN LINE!

Someone on my feed said something very salient and smart. When I clicked on it to see the reaction, I see "Post not found". As usual, speaking fuckin' truth is punished by scared peers.

On my lunch-break I finished this "Wave Editor" for foes in my upcoming #shmup is finally feature complete. Took ages to realize all the things that I need, and I could do more still to make it cozier. This means my time can be spent on the actual game, which means more streams.

Are you ready for it? #shmups #stg #arcade #retro #gamedev

In the early 2000s, proto "tech bros" fawned over the tiniest drop of realism in their graphics. In the age of gen AI slop, suddenly that doesn't matter? I think this proves that some people have an eye for visuals and some don't. Related- My teams' work, 100% AI free: youtu.be/W6FO84CBpqA?...

A reminder to all the copy editors who choose "was fatally shot" instead of "was murdered": You're looking for the tenth bolgia - when you get to the eighth circle, turn right at the thieves and go down three more levels.

Time for the yearly ritual -- binging @mclasspodcast.bsky.social to defeat travel anxiety. Join the Miles (O'Brien) High club. Let me try again... Join the Mile B'Thai Club. You know what, this is harder than I thought.

Wonder if Expedition 33 would have still won the awards if they didn't patch out their gen-ai crap.

Getting to the pew-pew part in now that the experimental exploration stuff is done. That flash shader was actually very confusing to implement due to the wacky shading techniques I used to make it look pixelly and crunchy. #lowpoly #shmup #godotengine #indiedev

Syntax Error. #gamedev

New game idea SO GOOD it threatens my brain space. But I will finish Thunder Axis.

This is my teams work! youtu.be/QFDgVebB_60?... I don't do shots anymore, I build and support pipeline! The creature team I support forges ahead and kicks ass whether my tools are ready or not though!

I worked at a particular studio in the Toronto VFX scene for a year and a bit. I later let amazing riggers and TDs who were there before my time, and they mentioned the tech they set up. There was no evidence of that tech remaining. Hours of investment in rig propagation and pipeline evaporated--

Saw a cringey rigging bug in a major trailer for something cool. But I didn't say anything. Rigging is hard enough.

Black-Friday anti-sale. Normally many of my games are free, today you can pay $4.99 for them. Proceeds go to buying me more time to find a job before I lose everything.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

If you can't focus on your work-- There's Enslaved to help with that. youtu.be/24Rc5Bjr0_4?... #blackmetal

Writing my first renderer ever, and I feel so good about I can just TELL I'm at the peak of "mount stupid" on the Dunning-Krueger graph.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

More people should be ashamed of more things

didn't really have time to promote it but Chico DX, my game-boy style puzzle action game, is on sale on @itch.io for the Halloween sale! If you wanna check it out, you still have a chance #gamedev #indiegames #gamedeals daikongames.itch.io/chico-and-th...

When the week begins and I do my real job, not gameDev, I still have to whistfully load last nights build again and appreciate it. #gamedev

The RPG half of the "ShmupRPG" is coming to be. #shmup #rpg #godotEngine

Whatever happened to the anti-woke Godot fork? Did those people go extinct?

Those who run the system are fucking idiots. youtu.be/ozVb14bNwzQ?...

I know what bad code looks like, I can recognize it in the wild. I'm still gonna write lots of it this week.

Yeah, so DO apply normal maps to 2D pixel art. I would. #godotengine #shmup (character art by @jeffpennington.art )
