I just published my first
#godot
asset! A multi-touch pan/rotate/zoom proof of concept I made for a future project. Wrapping my head around all the matrix transform math to convert between all the contexts took a minute, so hopefully it helps someone else.

Check out our new minimal deck-builder, "Totally Balanced Card Game!"

We did this originally as a game jam, but it had so much potential that we just had to make a "v2". Enjoy!

Me,
@benbergman.ca
and
@overtonewarpzone.bsky.social
did a game jam, and have a big post-jam update nearly ready, but need some playtesters to help bring it over the finish line. (play the game, take screenshot, fill in a short form) i.e. Want to playtest a short Deck-Builder? :) Then DM one of us.

A look behind the curtains (or behind the canopy? 😜). The collision geometry is completely rigid. To fake the look of physical response, the shader just has a single radial wave that is reinitiated for every impact detected.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

My first thought when making a solo mode for a chess-like game was "What's the point? How could you ever simulate a meaningful game of chess without simply doing chess puzzles?" Then I had the idea to make it sort of like a top-down arcade shooter... no, stay with me... 😅 🎲✂️ 1/5

Orienting a RigidBody with precision timing requires something beyond a naïve "accelerate-towards-target" method. Here's a slow-motion comparison between the naïve method vs. what I call the "Akira slide". Green line indicates acceleration.

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips! Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI. Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.
