my top 2 games this year are Rain World and Megabonk. there is not a top third because those are basically the only two games I played all year

Secret 5th option is just give the artist a basic idea and otherwise complete creative freedom because they'll come up with something way better than you ever imagined.

Me trying the downvoted answer on stackoverflow because it's the only one I can comprehend

yea

I wonder how much more I'd accomplish if i wasn't adamant on using the world's worst programming language for everything

It's insane, I think I know exactly what the "gnight gamer" line in Rain World is referencing but I'll likely never get confirmation. And telling the story would make false positives possible, as it was an event that happened in a D2 LFG voice chat 6-8 years ago.

Wow I actually finished something (to the point of being able to release it, I am going to continue working on it) My #RainWorld Live Room Preview program can be downloaded from the modding-resources channel in the official Rain World Discord server.

It was actually some weird AMD vulkan driver (shitty iGPU flavor) that would mark a window as un-minimized *before* the window had dimensions greater than zero.

KitEngine has this cool bug on a very specific laptop where if you minimize the window it will freeze. I'm just trying to install vs so I can pause the process and see exactly where it gets hung, but vs is taking actual hours to install an update

imagine if installing visual studio community 2022 didn't take an entire hour

If a problem is improved by sleeping, it's probably a race condition. If it's a race condition, then sleeping is never a correct solution to the problem... you're just making it less likely to happen, not fixing it... fixupx.com/i/status/199...

The every alternate windows theory

I fell for a rage bait post.. age is catching up to me

Why the fuck does this look like a little big planet loading screen

The true watcher ending was insane, especially the very end where its revealed that all of it was a Family Guy cutaway

I genuinely had a nightmare that I was writing a shader but any change I made to it would never affect the output and it was pissing me off.

tonight after fixing some heap corruption caused by a single cpu op having undefined behaviour; I added a neuron glow to my #rainworld map viewer, so that darker maps can be seen properly. It's not exactly accurate yet, but it's looking pretty good I think

guys clang's __builtin_ctz(u32) and __builtin_ctzll(u64) both have undefined behaviour if the input integer is 0x0. very fun fact.

I keep seeing posts of people straight up malding because they saw a dog in public and it ruined their day

Just found this music player by KDE called Elisa, and it feels so good to not be using VLC for music anymore. VLC is great but it isn't a proper music app

my year wrapped: time spent working on KitEngine: 20 minutes time spent playing Rain World: 500 hours (the latter one is genuinely true)

Me when I need to encode a video

<the worst pet opinion you've ever heard> followed by "coming from the owner of two <insert high maintenence breed here>"

still working on this

one time I spent like 2 weeks adding OpenGL 4.3 support to KitEngine as a fallback because I thought Vulkan 1.3 was a high min spec. Today I found out Vulkan 1.3 has wider hardware support than OpenGL 4.3...

The only legitimate software development methodology: 1. Think very hard about an implementation 2. Don't do anything

A common misstep I see when people criticize generative AI is saying things like "that doesn't even look that good" or "look at all the little hiccups" All those comments say is "AI needs to be improved", and chances are? it will be Your hangup should instead be the total lack of human involvement

The blue collar grind be feeling like the library in Halo CE ong

When I stop being burnt out, I'm gonna make something great and never finish it.

mnyeh ~

Just wanted to see what my sona'll look like with a bit more rounded face

Fellow artists, when exporting a drawing with a transparent background always make sure to write your credit card info in the margins and then erase it as a silly joke. The eraser tool totally clears the rgb channels too

testing out the new mirror-mesh player model & animations in my game #gamedev #DISENCHANTED

I need to play Tokyo Jungle so bad it's unreal

guys they're so scared of me they're literally partnering with Unity now. I'm not making this up, you should all send me a bunch of money because I am very important to the plot of the universe

Epic games keeps sliding my boss Benjamins to give me more mandatory overtime because they fear the day I release KitEngine and take over the industry.

I should stop doing performance benchmarks and optimizations while accidentally compiling in debug mode. With compiler optimizations enabled KitEngine can create ~1,200 game Objects with renderers in 4ms.

I'm doing my part

Average KDE Neon user experience is receiving an os update and everything looks nicer and the file search somehow got even better.

Imagine having voices in your head but its Gilbert Gottfried and Justin Roiland.

I've had heart burn for 8 hours straight. I have a feeling I am not going to have a fun 30s if my mid 20s are already this fucked up.

woah... mandela effect..

Yo! If you’re a Vinesauce fan, we’re still looking for an artist or musician for our Team during the #ShroomJam25 game jam, which is starting next week. We‘re two people looking for one more team member.

whenever I play rain world I'll tab-out after a difficult cycle and then forget I have the game running for 3 hours as the rain sounds put me to sleep like a dog.

YCHs and Commissions still OPEN ko-fi.com/fennekfuchsi vgen.co/fennek Feed a small disabled Artist ❤️ I let no one wait long and do it in several days. Please share #commissionsopen #ychopen #furryart #vgencomm #kofimission #paypalcommissions #ychfurry #coupleych #disabledartist #queerartist

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.
