Rain World: The Watcher palettes are encoded as interlaced-PNG and at a resolution of 32x16 I can't figure out a tactical advantage to doing this. Current theory is that's just the way they were encoded: no reason other than that.

field bio dev content posted by me and not @bitilope.itch.io this time can you believe it its just me finding some poke'pokes with the camera (to show off the blinking) #godot #gamedev

being a hobbyist software engineer sucks. world's most stressful hobby, and most of the time it's not even cool enough to show off.

guys I might need a fresh Windows install, this last update ruined my laptop genuinely, I can't run Vulkan applications anymore

guys a Windows 11 update (non-consensual) on my laptop made neither of my graphics cards detectable. Thank you Microsoft.

my stimming ass would chew on the rarefaction cell tbh

You know who will never have a controversy? Pirated mp3s on local storage

Reworked water in Field Bio to support flows, rivers and elevation #godot #gamedev

Watery Graves from classic Plants vs. Zombies fucks so hard, arguably even harder than the higher quality mixes used in the console releases (rare case where I prefer the crustier version)

Every single time I see rust mentioned it's either a C user saying it sucks, or a rust user saying C sucks. Can we all just agree that computers in general suck?

getting better at level design

Working on the best mod ever with a friend rn

developing for Windows be like "an OpenFileDialog will delete a random file out of system32 and email a cock pic to your mother (this is legacy behaviour from Windows 98)"

Fox has been added into the game, and with this we're about ready to upload the new build for betatesting! #babaisyou

Zenity has saved my life. I think GTK distros probably have it installed by default. worst case scenario: end user has to 'packag-manager install zenity'. Linux users are used to this bullshit anyway.

GTK devs don't deprecate a function for 3 days straight challenge (difficulty: impossible) every code example online uses deprecated functions, and the GTK documentation is hard to follow. fellas it's over.

society if GTK was as easy to use as QT

QT5 and GTK4 compiled into the same executable is having a massive skill issue. PLEASE I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMPATIBLE PROGRAM

The coolest thing about writing a custom game engine is when the first game you make in it isn't even a game. Rain World modding tool is not what I planned for KitEngine.

It'd be really cool if QT5 was installed by default on every distro. Linux could really use a reliably available open file dialog. I need to add a GTK fallback and a KMS fallback if that too fails.

This place is by far the most boring social media site I've ever used. I literally come here to find art and occasionally say something stupid.

this compiles with zero issues

I can't believe other languages use characters that my engine doesn't support.. I have to rip the copper wiring out of my walls and replace it with std::wstring now

i cant believe saudi arabia has bought EA... they were the last bastion of ethics in gaming, and now EA is going to ruin them

I am so close to releasing my Rain World room viewer. I even got the Windows compile working. It'll be the first KitEngine application. it is so cool to have a functioning application built in my engine for once. Soon I will be among those who have actually done something.

KitEngine's project file has crashed the Windows version of Visual Studio 11 times in the past 2 days. Only one of those times was in a virtual machine, the rest were literally real Windows running on my real laptop.

Wasn't expecting to see so many people upset about EA getting bought out. Was there really even a single thing to like about EA?

I keep having this horrifying recurring dream. I should be able to see her in my dreams in a way that isn't agonizing. My subconscious won't let her rest. anyway unrelated; I got frame blitting in KitEngine to work somewhat, I just need to make it less broken now.

Society if RDNA gpus didn't cause the screen to flicker when the vram clock changes

It's crazy how after a 3 day productivity streak and overall good mood; I suddenly have no motivation to do anything, not even breathe. I think reality is finally setting in. my best friend is gone forever, I will never get to play with her again.

Sometimes I forget I'm a L*nux user. I haven't opened the terminal in months.

My real-time Rain World room preview program is so cracked. It will even update in real time if the room it has loaded is changed in any way (i.e. you re-render a room you're working on)

They should let me drink effluent. Purple pipe looks so much tastier than blue pipe

very sad today is the rapture.. imagine all the people who wont get to experience the watcher update

I better not get fucking raptured 2 days before the Watcher update

new KitEngine UI framework is pretty easy to use.

About to make big edits to a long fragment shader that I never commented. (This action will kill me)

Wish KitEngine had a whole dev team so I could lay them off before bonus season uwu

The burger is a reference to how edible this art style is.

Physically Based Rendering (PBR) implies the existence of Physically Cringe Rendering

Love seeing Mario vs sonic discourse. "So glad Mario Kart world still has higher reviews-" bro try getting hyperfixated on a game with < 1k concurrent players. Once you realize you can form your own opinions you will become enlightened.

How it feels to never unit-test

*throws this at you and skedaddles* #rainworldfanart #rainworld

i miss my dog

I was making such good progress on my rw map viewer, and then got devastating news and lost every last ounce of wanting to be productive. it's so over for the sand fox finishing a project economy.

🍃👙

dogshit work schedule has been actively delaying progress on my Rain World map viewer. and it stings because I actually tried map design with my viewer as a companion program and it sped shit up at least 3x. I need to make this thing presentable and that sadly means 10th KitEngine UI rewrite
