There’s a bit in this around sixteen minutes in where Lu chops up an airhorn sample and it’s better than every viral livecoding clip you’ve ever seen, how do they do it, man.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

New Blog: Let Games Die "Let Code Die is rooted in a trust that if we have code that we like and we lose it, we can write it again. What would it mean to trust ourselves as game developers, designers, critics and players in the same way?"

Speaking of im-sim adjacent stuff, I am downright upset that Rhell only has ~120 user reviews so far. It's a fantastic, beefy game. Like Scribblenauts by way of Baba Is You. A world full of problems and SO many verbs to solve them with. Also challenge modes, a built-in randomizer and more.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops:

So that recent shader preview plugin for Godot? We're discussing how to implement it as a native feature.
github.com/godotengine/...
I see it as breakpoints, personally, and made some rough mockups. Would you find this kind of presentation helpful?

My main way of controlling difficulty was through the game speed. But at one point it becomes impossible to avoid oncoming cars. So I'm adding a "hard mode" to the different hazards. For instance, having a train of cars rushing from behind you instead of just one.

Made it so that the center of mass of the fingers is lowered slightly if they're grounded and pressing the button, making them roll backside up. Adds a little bit more control. Also trying out speech bubbles.
