The limitation is out: unpredictable rules. Which is cool! I was already about doing emergent gameplay so that fits pretty well with this game jam! I hope I can find the time to complete a game itch.io/jam/major-ja...

What is the universe trying to tell me?

Last update was Feb 5th, it traveled around 2 hours north and the AirTag is still living near the beach, but not that close anymore. I wonder if it’s happy there and if I’ll ever hear from it again

Had a great run at the used bookstore

Hello Bluesky! I’m looking for software engineers in the gaming or movie effects business in #Scotland! Please DM me if you’re interested and repost for visibility! #hiring #pipeline #jobs

My wife lost her AirTag at Costco last year. It went to San Francisco and now it’s living in Malaysia

More info. I also checked how much faster it is when the number of files you match is drastically smaller. I compared two scenarios: a > 95% match and a < 0.6% match. The difference is not huge, but some methods, like glob, have a more significant difference. #profiling #python #filesystem

I was wondering which method was faster to iterate through files in #python and find all files of a specific extension. So I tried glob, pathlib, os.walk, and a listdir + a recursive function. Here's how long it takes (in second), for different sizes of file systems. os.walk is the fastest method

My last article of the year: How to Build an Optimization Toolbox. An overview of the types of tools you should have ready when your game's framerate drops, with specific recommendations of programs I have used in the past. larstofus.com/2024/12/30/h...

According to #AI, the #universe is much smaller than I thought.

And to add a note here, when you have a table of tasks and dependencies you can make a critical path. Once you have a critical path, then you most likely be able to parallelize tasks and start naturally getting floats or slack times that you can use to avoid having to do crunching

I’m learning about optimal stopping. It’s a great way to know when to stop looking and start choosing things. What things? Well, any things! A relationship, an employee, a house, which game to develop, which publisher to choose from, etc. And there are variations! sites.cs.ucsb.edu/~suri/ccs130...

Random Tip 005 on #UnrealEngine #DearImGui is awesome and there's a plugin: github.com/segross/Unre... However, it's not updated for a while. It has version 1.74 while the latest on DearImGui is 1.91.6 So until a hero updates this lib to UE 5.x you're going to have to make some changes yourself!

Random Tip 004 for #UnrealEngine In #VisualStudio, you might find a file you need and want to check adjacent files, but the solution explorer doesn't update. Make sure you check the "Track Active Item In Solution Explorer" under Tools > Options > Project and Solutions > General

Random Tip 003 on #UnrealEngine Still on the topic of asset discoverability. With a custom filter, you can quickly find those Data Assets you created in C++, and there's no way to show just them quickly

Random tip 002 on #UnrealEngine Collections, on your content browser, are like, groups of bookmarks of your favorite assets. AND you can share those collections on the project with other people. It's a great way to onboard folks. "Where do I get stuff for the main level?" - check the collection!

Random tip 001 on #UnrealEngine If your project is too big, make sure to learn how to make custom filters and learn the search syntax: dev.epicgames.com/documentatio...

Do you like reverse engineering stuff as much as I do? It's like a huge sudoku puzzle

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head

Conway’s Law is the idea that people will design systems that copy their communication structure. So small distributed teams will generate software that is modular and large teams working together will generate a monolithic architecture. Is this the case in #gamedev?

We created a virtual accelerometer in Maya for the previs artists to visualize how much g-force was being applied to the actors in some scenes. I’m really curious to see how it turned out! m.youtube.com/watch?v=NOhD...

Is there any social network with weighted likes? I mean, the more someone matters to you the higher the amount of likes you will see in a post that person liked. Might create even more bubbles and divisions, but at least it would be configurable and not something an AI model does it for you

I found out that Paul Pedriana, one of my mentors in computer science and software engineering, passed away three years ago. He taught me a lot when I was at EA; he was one of the core developers at Maxis and wrote foundation code at EA, such as the memory manager.

There's been a LOAD of new folks on Bluesky since I created the 'Indie Game Publisher' starter pack as a resource for indie devs, so time for an update. If you're an indie game *publisher* then reply and I'll add you 👍🏻 Reposts welcome folks. go.bsky.app/DAoKtHj

I started this as my first isometric #pixelart in 2020 and enventually made a small series out of it.

Interesting article about how our culture have been moving away from art and entertainment and towards to distraction and addiction What would games be if it has its own row here? www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-...
