Much like how butterflies have tear-away wingtips to help escape damage from birds, biologists have noted a recent increase in bosses' non-essential extremities displaying glowing "weak points"

Any #godot brained folks able to help me with this? We have audio assets in the project that get compiled to FMOD banks, so don't need to be exported. However, I've tried every method of excluding them to no avail (gdignore, export modes) and nothing works besides deleting the folder before export.

oh no the girls are z-fighting

I'm really struggling to find the motivation to add V3 NPC support to Witchdice. It's fiddly boring json format work. If you use Witchdice for Lancer, I'd be interested in hearing: - is WD still relevant? What does it do that C/C doesn't? - is there any point in keeping backwards compat for V2 NPCs?

Surely **this** time pushing a new build at 5:05pm on a friday will work out with no problems. wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti...

One day when I open commissions again I'd like to add the Lancer Tactics style isometric sprites to my offerings since I've done so many, and I'm sure people would love to mod in their own designs that way

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

One of the best things I realized about writing for Lancer is that people like Kat or Ash & Gold are not my competitors. People who buy Shadow of the Wolf or Midnight at Iphigenia are probably going to be interested in In Golden Flame as well. Their success lifts me up, and vice versa.

Hey all, I'm planning out my year and I'll have some availability in the mid-late fall for game audio work if people are in need! Feel free to shoot me a DM or reach out via my website- I compose, handle technical sound design, and am super comfy with Unity and version control :) lexfeathers.ca

I added a new shader to my portal asset. Now you can use a texture combined with a mask texture to create more cool portals! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #godotengine #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

Today's the LAST DAY to apply to speak at Game Devs of Color Expo! gdocexpo.com/apply We're taking games applications for longer, but if you want to speak you'd better hurry up!

the kickstarter is done, the contract fulfilled, the seal broken, my soul is free

It's been three years since the three-years-of-funding Kickstarter campaign for Lancer Tactics completed. Time for a report card! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wic... Additionally, the Module Editor is live. Lancer Tactics is now equipped with essentially a miniature visual novel editor.

I hope Jeff Bezos collapses dead and no one around him cares

Oop, didn't manage this week. Writing a report card for a 3-year project was more emotionally taxing than we were expecting & need a bit more time. However, we'll also be doing a livestream celebration/Kickstarter phase wrapup for Lancer Tactics! April 15, 3-5 PST :: www.youtube.com/live/30huanm...

Might touch up some details, but think this one is just about done

Backed this in a heartbeat. And now kick back and dream of a world where we trade moons and sentences on on IRC channels like fansubs of Slayers avis.

Today is trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ but more immediately for me it's also the 3-year anniversary of Lancer Tactics' Kickstarter campaign. Writing up a larger retrospective for the next backer post, but it's cool to see how far we've come since then.

An informative read about military "kill chains"; Kanban boards for airstrike targets, and decision momentum in organizations.

found this on my desktop while changing laptops and realized I never posted it. am I too late to chase the trend (aoe2 is the grungler; included for how big an impression the map editor made on me)

good webbed sites: 1. wikipedia 2. craigslist end of list

Hey you! I'm playing the newest build of Lancer Tactics on my stream tonight! Did I mention I helped with this game! Thank you to @wick.works for the amazing opportunity to work with one of my favorite games of all time! Twitch: www.twitch.tv/neosoulgod TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@neosoulgod/...

New Lancer Tactics build is up: wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti...

It makes me so happy how many times I've gotten to update names in the backer credits because somebody transitioned since the kickstarter

I understand why it exists, but getting this notification from Kickstarter always makes me *so* mad. I'm literally already writing the update and you're out there obnoxiously tapping on the glass of my aquarium.

"video games make u violent" is actually true but what people don't mention is that that violence is channeled through societally acceptable outlets like "joining the military" (they use games to desensitize and gamepads for drones for a reason) or "being a cop"

I'm improving editor performance by only redrawing the area around the changed tiles instead of the entire map every time, and accidentally invented Lancer Minesweeper

Muito forte esse trem de asa

Today I switched to using my steam deck as my main game dev machine: 1. Godot forward+ no longer runs on my intel macbook 2. my old PC laptop tries its best but is a bit of a 2018 clunker 3. I was holding out to get a steamcube but the AI bubble has destroyed new computer prices and availability

SHIRTLESS ON A ROOFTOP V0.9.5 is now OUT! Now with BETTER Layout! Uppercut someone into a window, do a chainsaw grind on a wall, kick someone through a train car, you can do all of that when you're not busy solving a case or simply eating delicious food. Check it! eldjester.itch.io/soar-shirtle...

The steam page for Lancer Tactics is now up! Throw us on your wishlist! #lancerrpg #mech #mecha

Two Lancer Tactics news items: 1. We have a debut trailer! Critics (disclosure: me) are saying it's the best game trailer to ever be made?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GywP...

I played the latest build of Lancer Tactics, based on the Lancer TTRPG, with the developer @wick.works ! youtu.be/aI-eBkUySFw?...

I know I only get away with it because I'm white and don't look poor but I get such pleasure in saying "No thank you! :)" and briskly walking past the grocery store security guards asking to see receipts at the exit. Something something intentional disobedience ++ resisting security theatre.

Damn nothing makes you believe that other worlds are possible like listening to a David Graber book. Our political realities are so so narrow compared to the vastness of what has been and can be done.

New build for LT is live! v0.6.0 adds the last of the player talents and is coming up on halfway done for the rest of the NPC optionals. Plus some cool new FX and icons: wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti...

i have such a love/hate with #godot. I'm so glad it exists and I know other engines have problems too but I stg there's always some cursed problem that crops up right as I'm trying to release. This morning I found that our portraits are broken post-4.6 upgrade but only for the exported build.

I've adored this illustration by @badbucket.bsky.social ever since I first saw it in the lancer core book and was delighted to learn they have it available as a print 😍 :: www.inprnt.com/gallery/badb...

ICE just murdered a man- they had him 5 on 1, on the ground. A mile from my house. This blatant and insidious. www.reddit.com/r/law/s/1HIJ...

Today in cursed problems: I just discovered that the "exclude files/folders" export filter hasn't been working so our pck has been twice as large as it needed to be (ie duplicates of all audio files), like +160mb. #godot

Fantastic breakdown of Tactical Breach Wizards' AI! We have a similar approach for Lancer Tactics of having the "brains in the grenades", but this also showcases a clearheaded priority approach that solves for too many weights causing an AI to do crazy things. Wish I'd seen this three years ago lol

now that 1.0's been out for a bit, wanted to share some of my contributions to Hades II! had the pleasure to work with the team for the past few years - not comprehensive at all but here's a small sampler of icons and small illustrations that can be found across the game

it turns out a lot of people play Lancer

holy shit

I'm one of the three! Great article.
