No stream today. Got too much exploratory and design work to do that isn't good to do while on camera.

Bringing back a classic #LancerRPG

Just a few days until the gig!

Breaking in the new controller. Been a while since I played #KillerInstinct, gotten sloppy (not that I was any good to begin with)

🤍😊

Okay. Happy with the flatbox I put together (with a lot of help from people better with a soldering iron than me) so I should actually look at fighting games that were released this decade Which ones do my friends play these days that have online multiplayer training rooms? I assume Strive and SF6?

Again I am linking to this youtube account of someone who's apparently made it her mission to follow creativity tutorials with zero prior knowledge and using it as an example of why whatever tutorial or guide you're writing or taping right now is not good enough www.youtube.com/shorts/dhTC-...

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

At Wizards, we learned from painful experience that the game designers in R&D could look at sketches and diagrams and evaluate a game proposal without it looking nice. Everyone from other departments needed the game proposal to look nice or else they'd get caught up critiquing the visuals.

If you'd like one, I've thrown the STL up on Cults. Since this is more my own design I've put this one up as a 'pay what you want' deal. Which can be 'free', if you like. But y'know, if you wanted to throw me enough to buy a Freddo I wouldn't complain.

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Every software company is like “we care about UX” and UX to them means “whatever the designers think looks neat.” There’s an entire body of research behind UX and most of it goes wholly ignored by everyone. UX isn’t opinions. It’s ergonomics. It can be tested and refined.

May Plans - Prototype: Finish the core of the battle system; the basic attack, entity "death", differentiating between player and computer controlled units (but not actual computer controlled units) - Other Games: Start dev work in earnest on them - Enjoy my birthday

End of April Report - The tactics / turn based CRPG game engine has the skeleton to handle reactions and mid-action argument calls, and multiple UX strategies. Attack and Damage systems in progress but now we're at the point I need to start designing the underlying RPG elements for it. Stats, etc...

I'm going to hold a lecture about procedural music and also modular synthesis in Umeå VCV Rack is very nifty and I'm using it to solve all my audio utility needs. Like this patch for example. It takes an input signal, and segments it and writes the segments into multiple wav files based on volume

my series THE HISTORY OF CHARGING THE MOUND is about the history of charging the mound. here's the first episode, now free to watch on youtube

Post a horse from any game as a reply and I'll tell you my opinion about it as a professional horse game consultant and certified video game horse expert also repost this so much that I'll regret posting it, I need an excuse not to do any other work today

Last regular non-specialist member of the Kill Team here. I think this one turned out really well. Probably the closest I've gotten to the Red Corsair aesthetic so far! More pix in the thread! #kitbash #wh40k #paintingminiatures #killteam

Sophie's Grids is playable now! (for FREE!) Your first solve will maybe take a few minutes, but with practice you'll be doing it in seconds! Play in the browser: sophieh.itch.io/sophies-grids On mobile: play.google.com/store/apps/d... Or Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2310850/...

Okay. Been a while but my #LancerRPG group found a day this month we can actually play! Stella, Scarecrow, Sunset Blue, and Morgue-N are almost destroyed and limping to the guerilla headquarters. Surely I wouldn't be horrible and give them more combats? Spoiler: yes www.twitch.tv/kaynsd #actualplay

Most days I'm trying to hammer out my personal project, livestreaming the programming process. Today is one of those days. Come watch for a few hours www.twitch.tv/kaynsd

It's me. I am the person who points at Blaze & Blade Eternal Quest and goes "a e s t h e t i c"

Hey folks, I've finally gotten around to adding Demonschool to my Steam curator page, a game I had wanted to give a thumbs up to, but desperately wanted to see through to the end before doing so, as I was utterly captivated by it. Especially that soundtrack! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

behind-the-scenes 😉

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

Not got much on the dev platter to show off today so no daily dev stream today. Going to tak an R&D day that isn't particularly entertaining to share with people. Will do a short dev stream tomorrow before Lancer.

I am apparently "poorly disposed for productive conversations"... or more likely someone's scraping the replies to Ed Zitrons posts again.

NEW: IWGB union workers have taken legal action against MindsEye creator Build A Rocket Boy over alleged privacy violations. Separate legal claims have also been filed against the studio accusing it of mishandling a redundancy process that took place last summer.

I am now wondering what kind of revenge @ramiismail.com is going to get on @mikerose.bsky.social for the trolling he's getting put through on the Who Wants To Be An Indie Developer episode of their podcast.

I will be presenting my "Create An Interactive City In Text using ink" course, discussing texty interactive cities, and introducing you to @inkle.co's ink narrative scripting language this Thursday, April 23. 🏫 Grab a seat here ⇢ www.eventbrite.com/e/1980617816...

I know everyone is bitter, frustrated and traumatized. The world is growing increasingly unhinged by the day and the economy is squeezing us tighter every moment. But the least we can do is hold fire until we know what we're shooting at. Don't go lashing out at everything based on gut feelings.

Okay, this isn't a live-service game. It's a small, $15 regular 5v5 multiplayer game. The only DLC is a $5 'supporter pack' that gives every character one more skin and the soundtrack. It's exactly what people have been demanding because they HATE live-service games. And then gets punished as one!

Weekend stream. Painting some Red Corsairs #nerdlings www.twitch.tv/kaynsd

You live in a cyberpunk future.

Why was I invited to Beast Studios? youtu.be/0dwagg5wYY4

Managed to stream four days worth of game development this week and it's been wonderous for keeping my focus on my turn based battle project and keeping my mind off of a currently unfruitful batch of job-hunting Let's see how often I can do it between now and when the money starts to dry up.

While I'm out of work I'm doing gamedev streams in the afternoon to keep my attention span up and my skills sharp. www.twitch.tv/kaynsd

Sadly the job market is in such a state that companies could ask us to move barefoot across country with nothing but the clothes on our backs and they could still probably hire perfect senior unicorns

Anyone going to be at London Games Fest on Friday? We (Helen and Callum) are showing off Forbidden Solitaire there! Go and take a look - if you dare ...

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!
