Something my friend David Snopek is working on, make sure you watch till the end because the first part of the video is looking at functionality we already have. Live editing in VR by manipulating objects in VR space. It's early days but has so much potential! www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Vl...

I was cleaning/dusting my computer case, and from those droppings on my graphics card, I think a lizard might have been using my graphics card as its toilet! I hope it's been eating the bugs at least.

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

Some of my fav signs & costumes at the #NoKings rally in Honolulu today. 🚫👑

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared." - Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Results for the 4th Godot XR Community Game Jam are in! Congratulations to @andyman404.bsky.social for taking the top spot. itch.io/jam/godot-xr...

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising. It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.

I made this protest sign back in April. Now it's September, and late night hosts are being silenced for being critical of the regime. In America, we've now arrived at the point where the government decides what you can laugh at.

Here's Wiener Wobble Dog Park! It's the XR hand-tracking game w/ stretchy wobbly daschunds I made for the #GodotXRGameJam September 2025. [Free, Meta Quest 3 or Desktop VR with hand-tracking]: andyman404.itch.io/wiener-wobbl... #GameDev #IndieGameDev #Godot

I'm on day 22 of COVID-19. I've finally started getting better and recovered a lot the past 3 days. Still have minor coughing and sinus discomfort, a lot of tiredness, and headaches. And now, a lot of difficulty sleeping. Stay safe out there, everyone! 😷💉

I'm on day 15 of COVID-19: I thought I was getting a little better, but last night I had the worst coughing attack I've ever experienced. Chest aches. Sinus headache and nose waterfall. Waiting for call back from doctor. Stay safe everyone! 😷🦠

I'm on day 9 of COVID-19 today. I've lost 5 lbs of body weight so far and have done so much deep abdominal coughing that I think I'm starting to see some 6-pack abs on me. Stay safe out there everyone.

Day 7 of #COVID gave me an even more suitable voice for a sad tired raccoon who’s just barely holding it together. Here's "Home Is Where The Trash Is", the VR hand-puppet game I made for the Sizzling Shrimp VR Summer Jam 2025: andyman404.itch.io/home-is-wher... #GameDev #IndieDev #VR #XR

My wife and I finally caught COVID-19 for the first time after all these years. Fever and sore throat.

WIP 1 - "Home Is Where The Trash Is". This is a VR hand puppet game I'm making for Sizzling Shrimp VR Summer Jam. Turn on sound to hear me introduce the game through the raccoon! #VR #XR #HandTracking #gamedev #IndieGameDev #Raccoon

Here are my stray cat friends from Kakaako Waterfront Park: I call them Fatty, Darkness, & Toupee. Fatty usually just likes to lounge around on the ground. Darkness is so soft to rub. Toupee will stretch out for a good long rubbing and meow at you if you stop too early. #Honolulu #Kakaako

Using OpenBrush to quickly iterate/prototype a raccoon for the Sizzling Shrimp VR Summer Jam. Going to make some mischief and cause some unhappy campers. #gamedev #openbrush

Seriously, why tf does this sugarcane drink list horse hooves in the ingredients!?!?!? No drink should have horse hooves in the ingredients list. I hope that is just a mistranslation. 🤮🐴

Finally home after about 2 amazing weeks in Japan! Somehow, it felt like a lot longer. It was good to take a break from the computer & the 24/7 US news cycle. We walked soooo much, but ate very healthy meals, and were able to find good vegan options. Bonus: almost all of my houseplants survived!

In Tokyo, there is a park with a name which translates to "Sudo Park". I just had to go there. It's where all the super users hang out. #linux

Life-sized Gundam statue in Tokyo! Huge and so realistic. Look at the size of the humans standing near it for scale! 😯

So happy! 😊 My wife & I visited the Meteor store in Tokyo. It is the home of the annual My Famicase exhibition, the inspiration for the "A Game By Its Cover" game jams, one of my favorite yearly game jams.

For my fellow vegans, if you ever go to Tokyo, make sure you book a meal at Veganic Monkey Magic. It's very special and delicious.

Still some ways to go, but the cat is out of the bag. It's finally happening!

#NoKingsDay protest rally in front of the State Capitol, in Honolulu, Hawaii. There were so many great protest signs today.

One of the toughest parts in making this was figuring out how to make these bugs climb properly. They can climb anything that's touching the ground, including other larva. They propagate the "groundedness" to each other with an expiration time for that groundedness. #gamedev #indiegamedev

I planted some random beans as houseplants. Now they have grown & climbed all the way up a rope to the second floor ceiling, about 18 feet up! Fe-fi-fo-fum. #houseplants #plants

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

this is a very interesting read about the state of working in tech. it puts plenty into perspective… “The enshittification of tech jobs” pluralistic.net/2025/04/27/s... “There've been half a million US tech layoffs since 2023. Tech workers' scarcity-derived power has been vaporized…”

Some pictures from the #MayDay rally in #Honolulu, and the march including 20 labor unions, going from the State Capitol to the Prince Kuhio Federal Building/Courthouse.

Painted some simple lightweight cardboard signs this time for the #MayDay rally/march because I hurt my back. Gonna just tape my signs on my shirt since it hurts to hold them up like I did last time.

OMG! The new Black Mirror, season 7 episode 1, "Common People", hits so hard. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Having just gone through this yet again, this is very interesting! #indiedev #gamedev

Amazing #HandsOff protest in #Honolulu, Hawaii. I saw little kids leading protest chants, amazing energy, a "die-in", lots of cars honking in support as they drove by, and an old friend even recognized me because of one of my signs I posted on social media previously!

The antidote to despair is action. If you're going to the protests today, stay strong, stay safe, and let your voices be heard. Feel free to copy these signs. #HandsOff #Resist

I moved from 13 years of C# in Unity to GDScript in Godot about 1,5 years ago and the change in programming language in particular wasn’t a very big deal. here’s a thread on my experience as a professional multiplatform game dev. 🧵 #gamedev #unity #godot

I'm so proud of Cory Booker! I've been watching him for the past few hours. I'm a ball of tears, snot, and hope right now. 🙏✊💙 If you're in America, make sure you show up this Saturday. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...
