Currently, 3 games I am actively working on in parallel ... and Crankycorn is in hiatus until I can revive the 3D version, because AI has matured more. But 2D ... AI has gotten so much fun to work with...

this looks fire asf, for my next playdate project, I want to try pre-rendered graphics and do something awesome as it, I have some news to share with you guys soon!

Steam supports 29 languages ... my store page now has 29 different translations. All achievements have 29 different translations. The game has almost no text at all. AI will enhance accessibility. And the translations seem pretty good. Not perfect, but almost for free...

WIP of the portal visuals for Helmet Head. The idea is the cyclops lines up her magical eye with the portal arch, it opens wide to fill the space, and starts up this swirly animation that shows your destionation. Then you step into the eye... #gamedev #godot #indiedev

WIP spiral staircase. Love how smooth the animation looks #indiegame #godot #gamedev

All I'm asking for as an #indiedev is for every single person on the planet, to be sat down, individually, in front of my game, allowed to play the demo, and I get some time to beg them to purchase it. Is that too much to ask?

Their solution for VR seems incredibly mature ... and it has eye tracking! I can't wait to get my hands on one!

The pure evil ... and Americans need to wake up, this evil won't be (and already isn't) limited to starving children they don't care for ... they invited it in, now it will be painful to get rid of!

Making a game for 3 years is passion. Launching the Steam page 2 weeks before release is… optimism.

We are seeing the performance scores drop everywhere, and we need to act. You don't get a second try with kids, and we failed a lot of them already. We need to adopt learning to the new world and put enough resources into the system - 30+ class sizes? We should be at 15 top.

Ever since I started with the fish, I realized how much easier they are to animate compared to legged animals. And took a turn in development...

So much coding lately ... I was in the mood for making something fun. Now more code...

chatGPT has the same kind of optimism I used to have 20 years ago ... "final version" :D

A pretty decent cloud reveal / fog of war effect for the mission map!! #shmup #gamedev #indiedev

And a few hours later...

first version of a "hatched shadows" asset set to tie things together ... I rather like it. And quite flexible. Going to experiment more with thickness of the lines, but somehow these very thin ones still work.

Incredible...

I love the quirky stuff when the AI goes over the rails ...

it is as if the AI decided to throw in a spelling error in protest to "AI WARNING" ... first time it did that!

I loved AI art back when it was just a hint of things to come. Still loving it. =) theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

little by little giving crankycorn a world to explore ...

Today I got another entry into my Mario games collection ... also ordered a CD-i, but with a defect drive... so have to see if I can fix it or not. If I am lucky I just need to amp up the laser or replace a belt ...

And now I need to find out what the best games for a Trackball are...

I actually want to play this one ...

this looks like an interesting game mechanic

My very first Colecovision! Took me over a month to get it working, because it came without a power supply and that damn thing is really not that easy to replace. Then it was a bit of a battle to get working with a colUSB power adapter ... but I won that battle. Love it! #colecovision

TIC TACTIC IS OUT NOW ON STEAM! (launch trailer was too big for bsky so please accept this clip instead) #indiegames #deckbuilder #roguelike

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

Just sayin - but if you are pro free speech and take issue with the Kimmel thing ... that is Disney behind it! So plenty of ways to act on it!

My very first boxed Japanese SFC games ... much nicer form factor and I do dig the vertical format for the logos as well. I wonder if I should make some of those for European games ...

Sorting my 2600 collection (mostly recently purchased) .... that was more work and more fun than I expected. =)

I am very unsure about this ... will absolutely get one, but likely 2nd hand when a lot of kids realize that they do not care about shitty 3D games in an uncomfy form factor. Pretty much only want to play the Wario anyway ... and from there it is likely just going to be decoration.

My room smells like damp cellar now ... but I am still quite happy to have bought these all in one batch! Airing them for a few weeks next... #Atari2600 #Atari7800

what a those masks for in authoritarian regimes?

If you hold CTRL, it will pause Task Manager so the processes don't move around when you're sorted by resource usage

layoffs suck and i'm so sorry y'all. i think i've just run out of words to capture the enormity of how much this whole industry situation sucks. my team is hiring, and it's a lovely place with fantastic people. if you're looking, open roles are here. www.playstation.com/en-us/corpor...

Filing this away in my brain as a perfect example of socialism.

Autopeli, my retro-inspired split-screen racing game, is now done and published on Itchio! :--) The game is freeware, so grab a friend and try it out! ottoojala.itch.io/autopeli #IndieGame #GodotEngine #SoloDev

Women ahead of the curve in dealing with AI hallucinations ... 😄👍 ... can't argue with that!

I just learned something new ... that is actually useful!
