I've been using a kitschy bit of freeware called LameXP to convert my audio files to .ogg. There are probably better choices out there, but this one has a lot of charm. Yesterday there were turkeys in the UI - how can I say no?

I've been playtesting this. It's really good! This is not a "number go up baby sensory video" kind of roguelike. This is a roguelike about surviving by being clever and adapting your strategy to every fight.

Been bashing my head against a mysterious crash bug for a few days now. No stack trace, nothing obvious in the profiler. Reproducing the crash is unreliable and random; attempted fixes are starting to enter the realm of superstition. This is what game dev is all about babyyyyyyy

HOWEVER, i think the common response to this on the internet these days is 'boo gatekeeping' and imo this is a really bad response/take, the issue is the illusion of gatekeeping's removal. there are always gates and if no person is keeping them then some algorithm or accident of physics is.

having encountered many times over the past few years large online tech platforms deciding not to let me put my stuff on them for strange and arcane reasons and refusing to elaborate i really feel this--it's nice to read another account of such a Platform Experience.

I made another mix

The new Oneohtrix Point Never album is really something special. Dense, chewy, hard to classify. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzPh...

I need to finish this. It's good.

still looking for level design work! I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2. portfolio ➡️ iibo.games

My strategy game, MORSE released this week! MORSE teaches you Morse Code through timing, tactics and telegraphy. Learn a secret language, build your own telegraph and jump head first down the rabbit hole of ham radio. 🔥⚓️⚫️➖ #hamradio #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #morsecode

Working on portal inspired Light bridges. Classic, but the space folding mechanic makes them interesting. Wishlist on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3664840/... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

my least woke opinion is that microsoft teams is fine

Some other angles. The lighting has been in all sorts of different states so it's kind of between looks atm. Been bouncing around colours trying to echo the look of 70s pulp sci-fi and films like Outland. But I feel I ended up drifting too far away from brutalism.

Announcing that Rhythm Doggo has a steam page now! It'd be super helpful if you wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/4090240/... Key art by @1neila1.bsky.social

Another solve. If you've noticed from Outpour's trailer, the gargoyle can pull blocks from afar. I've been reworking how pulling behaves, and its appearance. #indiedev #puzzlegame

WIP music and sound for UDLR (which will soon be renamed to Clover's Quadrants)

This album changed my life when I first heard it. Incredible stuff. Rest in peace.

Today I learned about Gerhard Munthe, who, in the early 20th century, designed some extremely Atari-looking tapestries with titles like "Blood Tower"

With some availability opening up in my schedule, I'm on the look out for any opportunities to fill that gap. Have a website or app you want help building? Some web dev issues that need fixing? Or looking to hire a part-time full-stack developer? Let me know! orbital.industries

Someone made a video that shouts out my 2017 TF2 map mvm_steep. Neat!

please can the best humanities minds of the world and also people who have survived at least three (3) forum wars create a psychological protocol to prevent people in power losing all perspective because people routinely shout at them

Palette-swapped an already artpassed level and I don't hate how it looks? Definitely needs some tweaking. Makes me want to go back and add more harsh contrast like this to older levels.

I really want a resurgence of Fuck Makeup, Fuck Fashion, body neutrality feminism. It seems like we're moving farther away from it, and that sucks

I am genuinely pissed off. My friend @entropy-tempus.bsky.social has received and absolutely ridiculous amount of hate for her map Demolition. And now the chud brigade has gotten her kicked off YouTube. I've already had a low opinion of the general TF2 community, but this is a new low.

10 years ago i watched some australian youtuber win the jackpot on a japanese coin pusher game and it permanently etched itself into my speech patterns

This is a really good game. Surprising amount of depth packed into about 90 mins of gameplay.

It wasn’t always this way, felt like we made some decent progress here until many developers started getting too much abuse online to want to bother putting themselves out there at all.

dinner with friends

this is how i do level design. sage advice

I've been working on UDLR the last week or two but it's all backend stuff. Completely overhauled the editor's file management UI. It used to just put every level in a single giant list, but now it shows only one chapter at a time. Much easier to navigate the 200+ level files in the game.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

My first contribution to TF2 in 10 years is removing my deadname

I know people are mad about the recent itch.io news but please give this more than a couple hours to shake out. The team has made it clear that this was done in haste, and they clearly know this is a really bad PR move. Be patient, and give them some time to fix it.

MEEEEEEEEEE

I just discovered the work of May Tonkin and I'm losing my shit over her plain air paintings.
