A video game can really be anything you want

This was fun. 46 tris, 128x128 texture.

Fun fact about me: I'm a bit obsessed with Pepsiman and have made many pepsi-like prototypes. I think what will eventually drive me mad is forever yearning to make a pepsi-like knowing nothing could ever be Pepsiman.

Clouds have been on my list for while. Nothing fancy, but they go a long way for making the world feel less static.

Found some old platformer prototype characters. My animation abilities begin and end right about here.

i have a lot of trouble with self-promotion, but i lost my insurance and SNAP benefits a few months ago due to federal level hijinx, and am really struggling with the day to day right now. i could really use your help! i'm trying to get back up to $1000. www.patreon.com/vacuumflowers

Anyone have any experience/recommendations with GBA dev? Been getting the itch to tinker.

First pass on some basic parks/plazas. #screenshotsaturday

You learn so many interesting things when researching for games…

Hi #PitchYaGame! In Biolune, play as a robot fascinated by organic life. Gather friends and resources, and cultivate evolving ecosystems where there were once deserted moons. Including seriously bizarre procedurally generated plants and animals. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3070190/...

Yume Nikki PS1. Demo out NOW! It contains two dream worlds to explore. You can run it on a real PlayStation 1. This is a fan game. I put a lot of love and care into it. I hope you enjoy it. #yumenikki #ps1 #psx #gamedev #homebrew

The demo for this will be out on my Itch page (eliasdaler.itch.io) in about 1 or 2 days. 🙏

Stay spooky out there.

I always think, “I should’ve made a little horror game for October” the day before Halloween. Never fails.

More games should have a recommended reading list like The Sims.

Did you know that street trees can reduce ambient temperatures by as much as 15°F (~8°C) and save up to 60% in street resurfacing costs?

Little walk around the block.

This is now my response to all bug reports.

As you can see, the generator is perfectly fine and in no need of immediate attention.

Why yes, I am making trees to avoid the structural work I've been putting off for weeks. #screenshotsaturday

someone should make a collaborative lsd dream emulator project like those yume nikki fangames with 100s of maps

Clouds have been on my list for while. Nothing fancy, but they go a long way for making the world feel less static.

We need more adventure games with backgrounds like this

🚲

Haven't gotten much fall weather here yet, so I'm making do... #screenshotsaturday

Procgen friends who’ve worked with WFC: anyone ever tried to combine the overlap and tiled models?

even if your game is funny and stupid take it seriously and lean in, don't try to be self aware, don't wink at the audience, don't be insecure about it

Million dollar idea: modern retro handheld based on Japanese feature phones. You’re welcome.

Got to tinkering and ended up with two more plugins for #gbstudio, so if you were wanting to make something car- or tank-based, you're in luck! github.com/tzschk/gbs-p...

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I doodled a couple niche scene types based on a bygone era for #gbstudio this morning, so I thought I'd share them with y'all. I don't know if they'd be useful to anyone, but feel free to play around with them! github.com/tzschk/gbs-p...

hey everyone: I made a pretty substantial youtube playlist of long videos of just.... walking around. Often fall-related, with rain and parks with leaves and stuff, very atmospheric with that nice autumn aesthetic. great to have on in the background while working www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I think about this a lot. A lot of devs (and players, for that matter) in recent years get hung up on some analysis they saw in a video essay. The point of studying art you love is building your own intuition. Trust your gut. Get weird. Alienate players. That’s how art works.

I want to make a mystery dungeon style roguelike game and friendslop about cave diving and a fighting game and a word game and a puzzle adventure game plus I want to remake my top down shooter about casting spells and I want to make a first person dungeon crawler RPG and I want to make a platformer

Started playing Sims 4 on a whim. Have not played The Sims since Livin’ Large. Somehow I thought this would be more relaxing than Death Stranding.

Haven't got anything new for #screenshotsaturday, so have a thread of some stuff I haven't posted here.

I could write endlessly about what each of these games means to me. Maybe it’s rose-colored glasses, but being a part of the TIGSource forums at that time was magical.

Sometimes I worry I put way too much much thought into what is undoubtably an extremely niche game, but then I remember putting way too much thought into anything is basically my exact definition of fun.

So, I get a lot of questions about generating procedural environments, but I was never great with the whole "show your work" thing in school, so let's try something: if you got questions, ask them here and I'll try to answer them* because learning is fun. *Answers not guaranteed to be interesting.

Haven't got anything new for #screenshotsaturday, so have a thread of some stuff I haven't posted here.

Realized I haven't posted much of this project on this site. It's a very-much-work-in-progress infinite urban walking sim.

Been really itching to get back to this lately...

Prototyping some more stage hazards. I feel like I could get a few decent levels out of these. #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy

Really wishing GB Studio had a better way to watch for lag than just eyeballing it. Even just a frame rate display would be nice.
