Dreams like Cam in Godot working in Editor with a Controller. This is the way. You guys don't know how much freedom you give up by using KB&M! ☝️

Unknowingly, I had Overwolf in autostart because of Minecraft experiments some months ago. Suddenly one day when starting Silksong, Overwolf showed the full map as game overlay, without asking any questions first.

Everyone is fired! The 35 year old Amiga was faster than this.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

"Hobby coding" feels like the least in-the-moment experience just for the joy of it. Does it ever apply in this way? I feel like there's basically always some extrinsic goal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHAq...

I'm so glad they versioned it in the filename, so it's easy to pick the right one.

BREAKING: Xbox is canceling Contraband, announced in 2021 from Avalanche Studios (Just Cause), after four years of radio silence, sources tell Bloomberg News. This news arrives weeks after a mass layoff in which Xbox canceled several other big titles.

Imagine if they could just let you keep the old theme, and not force new looks upon you. Why is there no option? Why do you have to relearn how to find new ugly versions of icons? You're the paying customer, but you have no choice.

I am excited to share this new single-header C library I have been working on for a while now: vecmath.h, a comprehensive vector/matrix math library for graphics/games/3d. It allows you to write vector math code in C that looks like this:

Can't help remembering King's 2024 GDC panel about how the Candy Crush company uses AI where they said it was taking care of mundane tasks to free up staff to spend more time being creative.

The first release of Asset Cooker is here! github.com/jlaumon/Asse... The repo was made public almost exactly one year ago! Many bug fixes and improvements were committed since then 🙂 And now that the release workflow is setup, I will try to make more frequent releases, with proper release notes!

I tried out the new slnx format, and it's easier to generate from a custom buildsystem. Requires a recent vs (just some weeks old). devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio...

Been using ark-vcs.com for a few weeks now. Not done anything advanced, not even branches. But it seems like a better version of Perforce. Hopefully it gets more users and more active development. I'm happy to not be using git for hobby stuff anymore.

Changing stairs into a ramp without removing the handrail first. Common level design mistake.

The git that keeps on giving.

Added support for Cosserat rods to Jolt Physics. This is a stick constraint with an orientation that can be used to attach geometry. Can be used e.g. to simulate vegetation in a cheap way.

The terrible state of shipping binaries on Linux: jangafx.com/insights/lin... Glibc needs to die and GPL was a mistake. Lots of the APIs are terrible too, so everything is just about backwards compat. Learning all junk just to get around it is not the future. We need a new OS.

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, why is it so difficult to program, and why is it the gold standard for fighting games? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev #AnimationVERSUS The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...? 🧵

Time to turn off HDR in Windows10 again, since it misbehaves when enabled. I had it enabled only for playing Indy which looks much better with it. But I've finished that game now. It's the first time I like a movie-game. 45h spent, very buggy gfx & gameplay. Avoid AAA PC gaming.

I hear @iquilezles.bsky.social does recreational pottery with pure thought.

Windows 10: Pick between "Update and shutdown" and "Update and restart". You pick "shutdown" it says on screen "Restarting". "Please don't turn off your computer". What do you mean, that's what I asked YOU to do when you're done. When it's done, the login-screen shows up again.

Added the ability to watch the rays in my path tracer bounce around as an animation. I'm excited about this more from an education POV, I think it helps explain how path tracing works far more easily than I could describe in words
