Map for my Lancer campaign.

We just had our first malicious upload to Lancer Tactics' mod.io directory! Somebody AI-vibe-coded a mockup of a companion editor app & provided an evil installer URL file. It's been removed, but stay on your toes. This shit looks plausible at first glance (but hilariously wrong in the details)

Lancer Tactics now officially supports mods! The newest build includes community implementations of the Caliban, Sagarmatha, NPC Rebake grunts, and more: wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti...

I am very strong for not rushing and doing another friday release

Godot 4.7 added visual control offsets which makes animating UI 1000x easier, so I spent the evening sprinkling it in on various screens.

unintentionally hilarious email from itch.io

People Make Games does it again: youtu.be/Is8N7B9b0GQ

I keep getting contacts about localizing lancer tactics which claim to not use LLMs but the emails are very clearly written by LLMs. 🪦

NEW B-TIER WIZARD HAS DROPPED

Thank you to the organizers and volunteers of PIGCON @pigsquad.com! This weekend was so much fun & I loved how many cool conversations I got to have with folks. Looking forward to the next one ;)

!NEW COMIC! A Songs we Sing comic about a girl and a deity Art by @calpidrink.bsky.social and writing/cover by myself! You can download it now on itch.io! gentrigger.itch.io/lost-lamb

"this will be my final business card design," 2020 me said, "I'll just have my website and the one social media site that'll stick around: twitter."

Very much looking forward to showing Lancer Tactics at PIGCON this weekend! See y'all femmes at the meetup this evening :)

We gave ourselves a C grade in organization for LT's Kickstarter. Here's our postmortem about some of what we struggled with: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wic...

Declaring summer 2026 Hot Union Summer

[Now that's public] I've cancelled my donations to Wikipedia after some of us found out this happened. Again, "benevolent" executives are the fucking problem.

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/...

Super Cooking Kart Tactics Survivors

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
