please i'm begging you no more scanline fx in games 😵 (all other forms of krangling are fine tho)

Insane Hellebuyck performance. Wow.

mein gott in himmel

happen today maybe it will

Gotta love an indoor bird in a public space, just being cute and waiting for crumbs to manifest

Indisputable chain of takes

Sleestaks were playing a match-3 game, prove me wrong

Little update: I freshened up my itch page to include Ballionaire (on steam), as well as all the games I worked on waaaaay back in the day (as Mobygames links). I also restored the original Ballionaire prototype just for run :) Give my itch page a visit and a follow!

So about Moore’s Law

This utility of this makes zero sense until you remember that Unity’s business model is now ads and not gamedev. That some people can make real games with it is now an accidental byproduct of an elsewhere-directed effort. ps: switch to #Godot ✌🏻

What video game has the best feeling dice rolling?

Finally saw the northern lights. Only had to go to the Finnish arctic circle in February to do it. I’ve had terrible luck in other “probably visible” scenarios so finally bit the bullet to ensure a “will definitely be visible scenario”

Really enjoyed this chat with @aarimous.com, thanks for having me on Scope Creepers!!

Every member of civil society has de facto permission to rip these things off goobers’ heads and smash them into the ground

Hawkssssss

Waterball transport is an efficient means of travel but being retrieved by the claw arm is not for the feint of heart

And cook @danschumacher.bsky.social did!!! Get this now!!!

Bought so much soup stock I'm a bullionaire

Finally have a ball in the boat game

My wife doesn't think "Nirvana 2" is a good band name

One of my top albums of 2025 -- OPAL VESSEL "Flesh Grinder"

would you wanna hang out in this world? (full mood board here: www.canva.com/design/DAHAM...)

just vibing at dusk

Honored for Ballionaire to be included in @jank.cool's games of the decade list!!! Thank you!!! www.jank.cool/the-best-gam...

wake simulation shader WIP thank god for godot @tool scripts because i would go insane if i had to run the game each time I made a change to tweak/debug this

plopped some land in and it felt absolutely awful. weird. but i think you have to listen to what the game tells you

Experimenting rendering w/ mixed rez (water is 1920x1080, world is 480x270) & eh it just doesn't look as good as I'd hoped. The effect is defeated by the shared depth buffer being full rez. Also breaks SSR for reason I don't understand. A full solution would prob req Compositor but I'm not motivated

omg was The Prisoner just an allegory for Patrick McGoohan feeling typecast

*taps the sign*

taking PepPep's slalom challenge i think(?????) i finally figured out how to encode videos of this game better.

updating my google entitled "SICKOS" with the list of sickos i dream about collaborating with some day

Tried to get a routine service appt. for my car at Toyota. Was forced to interact in voice with an AI over the phone. (No disclosure that it was an AI, took me a minute to realize it!) The service valet came a week early to pick up the car (on a day where I needed the car). LOL absolute shit

Reminder to follow all these awesome #indieDev folks! 👀 go.bsky.app/SP54fP8

There’s always been something consolatory about Chapo’s smug humor but they sound genuinely despondent the last few episodes and it’s low key freaking me out

The thing that cracks me up about Satya is -- you just know, there is no way this goober wasn't at some point taking a shower, or on the toilet, or trying to fall asleep, and thought: "Bill and Steve let web and mobile pass us by. I can't have the same inaction." - and that's driving this, in part.

“Look at this big shit sandwich I decided to start eating. Please god someone help me finish eating this turdburger. I can’t even hold it with one hand. It takes both my hands to munch this much crap.”

My weekly schedule for game dev ideation/prototyping: Maaaaaybe Mondays TOTALLY Tuesdays What If? Wednesdays Think About It Thursdays FOR REAL This Time Fridays Second Guessing Saturdays Sick Of It Sundays

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

omg lumines is not pronounced "loo-mines"? what

cargo capsules (firey from atmospheric re-entry) about to splash down in reservoir #6

special delivery

i think ppl forget how insane and good Magic Carpet was (also horribly motion sickness inducing but w/e)

wait why don't i just make an IRL ballionaire board game where you flip a coin or w/e at each trigger to go left or right

Is Steely Dan the most “snuck it past the censors” name of all time?

SSR but this time with the low-rez render -> upscale -> dithering + other fx pipeline. Kinda surprised it all worked with no real effort for me. I just need to make the water less glassy and also reduce metallic factor of water where there's foam and/or SSS. Very promising! Nice job #godot team!

Holy crap WHAT all I had to do was set METALLIC/ROUGHNESS in my ocean FBM shader to get THIS?? before/after

latest build of prototype adds a headlamp to the boat, time of day settings, and variable ocean chop. also some more points of interest in the world :) (holy HELL do video codecs hate this prototype, not even sure i should keep posting video here... if anyone has any advice lmk)

first prototype of the last half a year to get to the point of having a settings screen. golf clap
