Finished Devil's Plan S1 on Netflix. ORBIT was my fav player. He enjoyed learning and playing games almost more than winning, and was as stoked gaming-out other people's strategies as his own. Surprised to see some much hate for him from the reddit peanut gallery.

Games called DELIVERY MUST COMPLETE now #gamedev #indiedev

COVID vaccine kicking my ass. My whole body feels like ass. 🤕

Evening Star is looking for an Art Director to help us create our new game! Our ideal candidate will have a wide range of experience: knowledge of 3D art pipelines, and managing art production of 3D games with a mix of remote internal and external artists. eveningstar.studio/careers/art_...

Episode 2 of our perfectly named Patlabor and labor history podcast, Pat's Labor, is here. Join @claytonashley.bsky.social, @pizzasuplex.bsky.social, and @thesaintoftous.bsky.social as they discuss "Longshot!" www.rogue.site/podcasts/pat...

Talking about how the 4DX effects get programmed with my boys @caseyponey.bsky.social and @itsmigdalltime.bsky.social from @thatguttershow.bsky.social. from Anime Sickos ep 232

Quick Blender block-out for new fighter proportions -- better than I was expecting as a jet, but not super happy with the transformation. V2 I wanna think about the "thighs" more; I want them to rotate-back like a VF-01 Valkyrie, rather than slide, but I will want them to taper towards the front...

Pretty chuffed at all these easily accessible X68000 arrangements that I only ever read about but never got to hear back in the early days of da 'net: youtu.be/wyIY8473hqI?...

recovering from being very depressed these last few weeks, so progress has been slow (also working on stuff I can't show yet) So here's an art repost from ABYSS X ZERO, with a few adjustments on models + animations since last time! Music by @ironfairy.bsky.social #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #axz

I agree laws should change, but in a larger structural way. "as if that shit was seriously damaging their bottom line in any measurable way" Nintendo's enemy isn't individual pirates -- it's all the other much-larger game corps who can exploit any weakness in their jealously-guarded IP armor.

I've sent my top man for the job

there's no grass in the world of ATS, so we can't do tall grass stealth so we do low mud

Alien Earth E5 is violence against me, personally: a water-bottle power-user.

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

Extremely excited to announce I'm co-hosting a NEW PODCAST with @pizzasuplex.bsky.social and @thesaintoftous.bsky.social and even better, it's part of a NEW WEBSITE! www.rogue.site/podcasts/pat...

Lunchtime warmup sketches / practicing speed coloring. Anyone got any tips for laying down flat colors faster in Clip Studio? I've been using lasso fill and the paint-bucket.

Literally impossible to design a frog friend without whistling this the whole time: youtu.be/q7229hdxcSM?...

Some #math this week: converting a polar coordinate space into a "diamond" space (a sub-problem of a sub-problem of an animation blending problem)

Love the self-owning defenses of Coding Agents along the lines of "Yes, LLM suggests are idiotic, but I am an even bigger idiot, so it's useful for _me_. Checkmate."

ACUVAC is 20% off till Sept 3rd ✨ We've just about wrapping up the first week of launch, and now we're pushing for ⭐️50 Reviews⭐️by the end of the month! Even short reviews go a long way! #gamedev #indiegame If we reach our goal, we'll drop a free asset pack to the community!

Begging Google to use different colors for different apps, instead of the same "corporate branding" on everything. I cannot tell them apart.

If a programming language doesn't have ergonomic discriminated unions, people should ask, "where is the discriminated union?"

As AI panic/cope increases, I'm seeing more references to the hype-cycle/trough-of-disillusionment graph. To be clear: that's pseudoscience. One might as well talk about startups balancing their four humors.

Every time I see the "Abundance" jargon in the wild, I'm like damn, yinz really wear that dunce cap with pride, huh?

UE5 StateTrees are interesting conceptually -- e.g. with scoped data-binding, etc. I think where I'm struggling is UX. There's just a lot of mouse clicking.

Today's jogging fit.

They've got sweaty, body armored DEA impotently patrolling the National Mall in clusters like they're out to pick a fight with Kazuma Kiryu.

Good stream today! We got the wheels swiveling and rolling in sync with the movement! VOD: www.twitch.tv/videos/25347... 🎶 DISCO PRINCE (Katamari Damacy) 🎶

Gonna #stream at noon PST, in about 30. Just a chill hangout where I do some technical animation with the legs to get the wheels swiveling and spinning. #indiegamedev www.twitch.tv/tinygalactic...

Listen, I had to.

Rationality is not immune to absurdity -- you can logically game-out the consequences of an absurd premise, but the results are all still absurd. That's why appeals to logic and reason, absent beliefs or values, is at best juvenile delusion and and worst willful obfuscation of underlying cruelty.

more billboard 3D fakery :) The ground is just a repeating .gif. #pixelart

After all the other critiques of AI the one that really gets me is: the hype money-sink has crowded-out investing in actual services for years. Sectors that *could* have had healthy development will instead wither and die before the bubble pops.

Every left-vs-right pressure campaign feels like a million people with $12 vs. a dozen people with a million dollars.

Hey, I'm a pixel artist and animator looking for work! I love animating sprites as well as cinematic scenes! You can find my work Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog, ZONERS, and the upcoming Scott Pilgrim EX! You can find my portfolio at: kbutzkorner.com and thank you for checking out my work!

Adventures in bringing an old MacBook air (2012) back to life with mint: - set intel_iommu=off in grub linux args or the SSD isn't recognized - WIFI drivers not installed by default, but manually findable in the install USB

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

This is how battles look like in 🛡️G l o o m G a t e⚔️ #indiegame #playdate #1bit #gamedev

i put off UVing and texturing this forEVER because i totally borked my topo doing some reckless chomp booleans but i fixed it, and spent the last two and half hours throwing some dithers around in Aseprite by way of texturing is it scrappy? yes. am i unreeeeasonably proud of it? ALSO yes 🍔🧋

LOL, Pet Shop Boys ripoff in Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. Leitmotif at 4:07: they're not even filing off the serial numbers. youtu.be/XfSDt5Oqx_A?...
