well well well, who's that handsome devil doing running a successful event

Does any game developer use a laptop trackpad as their main controls? If so, how? It is quite annoying, I must say.

How should @thegameawards.com fix the indie game award issue with smaller games being a bit pushed out? Base it on cost? Cost by purchasing power parity? Feels a bit difficult to not just do self published.

Lovely speech by Jennifer English at @thegameawards.com

The programme was an invaluable experience, especially as the workshops confirmed gamedev is a feasible path for me, and what steps I should take. Thanks to all the talented folks I met, Imirt and special thanks to @leglessgamer.bsky.social for organizing it. Sad I had a trip before the end event.

The Irish Games Talent Incubator was incredible from start to finish and I loved every minute! It was an honour to participate alongside many talented folks. Thanks @imirt.bsky.social, @ardan-ie.bsky.social and special thanks to @leglessgamer.bsky.social for coordinating the programme brilliantly!

I don't know if this is the biggest thing to celebrate, but hey, 100 downloads ain't nothing, and it's a very even number. I randomly caught it on, so I will pretend like I kept looking! Thanks to all 50 downloads that weren't me!

Interesting to see the performance difference in mass entity between replicating transform as fast as you can and replicating a walk target. I could have even more characters with walk target but my computer is currently dying. youtube.com/watch?v=bwct...

As a Swede I have to say the Phillipines is a little too cold, malamig dito.

It would be great if my Laptop could calm down

Only the brightest health bars

Working on selection healthbars for my plugin, turns out Particles are cheaper than UI widgets...

My site on my computer vs my phone... why? 🥲

Took a 100-word story out from a drawer where it's been gathering dustr and put it on my blog. It's an adventure story if by adventure you mean being terrified of dark and tight spaces. www.narramblings.com/spelunking/ #microfiction

Would anyone here have expertise about releasing plugins on FAB or similar marketplaces? I've made a blueprint-friendly plugin using Mass in UE5. If anyone has advice about selling plugins, I would appreciate it.

It's alive! Such a good feeling to see my #playdate game running on the actual console! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

well that explains a lot.

Which engine noise is better? My finger snap (1st) or my mic hit (2nd)

The locomotion system in Unreal with physics is so funny. Please disregard that this model uses world position and not local position (Arms shifting color when it moves). I swear I fixed it later (also made materials double-sided).

Stomach wiggles (yes I call it stomach even though there are more organs there)

I wonder if this makes sense as a mechanic for the Stack O Bot #UnrealJam. Also, it's supposed to be a grappling hook, not a bungee jump...

Noticed my glowing hook glows in the inventory as well

implemented midi

Didn't manage to create everything in my scope (wanted some RTS) for #KenneyJam, but at least there's something there. The base is good for further things afterwards anyway! If anyone wants to try it, I'd suggest waiting until I fix the performance.

A lot of improvements, still some stuff left to go #KenneyJam For example, I just realised I forgot to add shadows to them while uploading this video

Only 6.5 hours more to go, still a fair amount left, hopefully will make it, at least this looks funny.

Finally, the basics are set up for the #KenneyJam, although there are still some issues. Might still do more simulated parts, i.e., hands and leg ends, but animations don't play as nicely.

life comes at you fast

Declaring war on Iran... Peacefully? I guess?

Which shader is better? It's supposed to feel like an energy ball. #gamedev

EA has to be the most prevalent in somehow failing and doing layoffs in studios with massive talent. Pandemic Studios will always be unforgettable, and Respawn has kept getting bad news even with the success of Apex Legends. I guess the only viable title is FIFA Ultimate EA Sports FC MTX. #respawn

The Robots will come for me first. I have made my creations suffer for too long.
