protip: how to calculate decceleration rate from desired initial speed & distance at compile time

i made 3 new ogmos today and I have ~6 more ideas to prototype

Vancouver ppl: you ever notice how there’s no Saskatchewan street? It just skips from Alberta to Manitoba 🤔

Q: would you feel weird about Ogmo's pronouns being it/its? Originally (back in 2004 when I made the first Jumper game) this was their pronouns. I've been leaning toward they/them this time but I'm curious about the implications of it/its pronouns considering the dehumanizing history of their usage

my absurdist adventure game, Boots Quest DX, is 50% off right now — a funny, heartfelt exploration-adventure about obsessively collecting boots. sort of like if a 2d zelda had jokes instead of combat or puzzles idk. check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/2093950/...

yea i got havana syndrome. havana fat ass

It was such an honour to accept the Mohammad Fahmi Storyteller Award at the Indie Game Awards! And I totally didn't cry while listening to @lena.fyi's lovely words presenting the award 💕

this level is making me feel like, yeah, this moveset is working :)

the button mapping for Jumper is a bit odd- B: jump, Y: air-jump, R: duck (nintendo button terminology) putting duck on a trigger and separating air jump into its own button are not intuitive but I think ultimately once the player internalizes it, it allows more precise & expressive control

transgender for everybody

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

What it feels like when someone praises my games online

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know: you are loved you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Metroid Prime 4 Beyonic

making platformer levels is always fun :)

i think we can all agree that god isn't setting the foundations of my games through me, but maybe satan is

Dude I am officially so done with speedrun leaderboard discourse

creativity is the process, not the final product. You're eliminating the process from the equation.

Hey you! Stop playing Fortnite!

the capitalist version of success, essentially, winning stability, which in many ways precludes freedom.. this is a goal that is fundamentally divorced from any artistic goal we have ever had or ever will have. it is entirely separate from art, it’s purely the ability to continue creating

since people seem curious about it, this new Jumper game is one of 4 prototypes that @noelfb.bsky.social & I are developing, borne from wanting to get back to absolute basics and make something small and fun to make :) i'm not committing to finishing it yet, but I think it has a lot of potential!

Last night I played a heavy, multi-hour, systems-y boardgame for the first time since having kids and it was a lot of fun. I'm so excited to get back into the hobby :) we played Arcs and it is very interesting & dynamic!

my debug play stats panel for Jumper so far- lets me see (in order) the player's state, current velocity, velocity boost to be applied by currently-ridden platform(s), and height reached above the ground last time they left the ground

I become so attached to these numbers as I slowly finetune a platformer player class. This one has a lot of them because I tried to cram as many types of jumps into one moveset as I could

As said of old:

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.

Demon Tides is getting physical release thanks to @fangamer.com and I'm super happy to have done the art for it !! It was fun to work both games and their styles into a single image :3 You can signup to know when it goes live! -> www.fangamer.com/pages/demon-...

Live now!

Finished Prime 4 today. Took me about 12 hours. And I had SO many thoughts on it, I had to write over 5000 words on it. Metroid is very, very important to me, and I was so sadly disappointed in Prime 4. I think I'll be sad for ages. Here's a link to my review: lizstar64.github.io/ramastery/20...

NEW VIDEO: Big business is a death cult worshipping a many-faced Techno God. In an industry full of takers who want to eradicate the makers, so-called AI promises a nonsensical fantasy where games are made for free and sold to a world of laid off former workers. It is unhinged. youtu.be/xcB_kqpYNhc

butler's recent book, Who's Afraid of Gender, completely called this shit. essential read.

Having the sum of human creative output called “ai training data” is frying me
