I understand the desire for verification (domains can be spoofed and may be hard to understand) but I feel like adopting the verified “iconography” from Twitter is a mistake

My unpopular opinion (?) is that Link *should* speak full dialog, and should have a fully fleshed-out, well-defined personality, in both the movie and in at least one mainline Zelda game. Their (arguably) greatest game (BotW) was achieved precisely by subverting expectations of the Zelda franchise.

“No Added MSG” 🚩🚩🚩

I would like the ability to hide posts that I can't reply from my feeds. 🦋 I understand why the feature is needed (harassment, flame wars, etc) but at the same time reading something I can't meaningfully interact with almost always feels like a waste of my time, and a bit of an unfair asymmetry.

my kidself from the 90's feels this so hard. XD

An update: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'll have to move my March 6 talk to a future edition of the Bevy Meetup. (TBD) Still looking forward to watching Hennadii and Pete’s talks! Thanks @rusticorn.bsky.social / @rustunit.bsky.social for the understanding/support during this unexpected change.

📣 I'll be speaking at the Bevy Meetup #9 early next month about my experience using the Bevy Engine for my indie game project! The talk will be live streamed and later made available on @rustunit.bsky.social's YT channel. Check out the meetup page for more details! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

ABYSS X ZERO work-in-progress: In between dungeons, you'll explore large open fields, with roaming giant creatures, like this one! I'm now working on the procedural animation system that allows it to walk on any type of terrain elevation, react to the player, etc #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegame #AXZ

Started panicking when I glanced at my CPU temperature readings, then I realized for whatever reason macOS had switched to Fahrenheit 😥

Doors and (fake) mirrors 🚪🪞 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #BevyEngine

Still getting some physics jitter, but doors are finally working as intended. I'll try switching from fixed join constraints to compound colliders to see if the jitter goes away

Currently attempting to implement doors

Just posted the first development update video for my indie game, VARG, on YouTube, showcasing the first daytime stage, destructible walls, and the fire axe melee weapon. 🪓 Check it out! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Hey new followers! 👋 I'm a solo indie game dev currently working on an old-school FPS inspired by Brazil's most iconic UFO case 🛸 If you're into boomer shooters and have a moment, wishlisting it on Steam would mean a lot!

Intention: ☺️ Reuse existing damage system to implement breakable walls ☺️ Outcome: 🩸🧱 W A L L S T H A T B L E E D 🧱🩸 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Working on some daytime environments (having a much harder time than with the nighttime/indoor ones I've done so far) #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

The Nintendo Switch 2! The successor to the Nintendo Switch. Not an accessory, not an add-on, not a special edition! It is the 2, the second, the sequel, the next one! Not a Switch Plus, not a Switch Extra, not a Switch Deluxe! It is 2, two, dos, ni! The next! The follow-up! The successor!

The trauma with the Wii U runs so deep that the announcement video was 100% devoted to visually driving the point that the Switch 2 is in fact a successor and not an accessory or add-on to the Switch

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop. I want our World Wide Web back.

One of the biggest problems of the Internet right now IMO is that bandwidth should be several orders of magnitude cheaper. Current prices make self hosting video prohibitive, which means the most widely consumed/created content type can only exist subsidized within massive commercial platforms.

I understand the concern about energy use (especially because data centers are often powered by non-carbon-neutral power plants) but I'm *deeply skeptical* about these water consumption claims. Water used for cooling is mostly recirculated and just topped up, the loss is typically minimal.

Experimenting a bit with Async Rust. The interaction of “traditional” multithreading (with mutexes, queues, etc) and async/await is so deeply unintuitive to me, as I've only been exposed to these in isolation, I keep reasoning incorrectly about things and introducing serial bottlenecks in my code

So I finally watched Sonic 3, (it took a while to arrive subbed in theaters here in Brazil) and I'm really happy that I somehow managed to stay spoiler free, despite not really trying to, because there were so many cool moments in there. 13-year-old me would never believe this in his wildest dreams

Slowly ramping up work on my game again after New Year's break, and it's interesting how different it "feels" now with a set of fresh eyes. A lot of the things that I though looked bad are actually okay, and a few of the things I thought looked good now look terribly unpolished #gamedev #indiedev

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

VARG's inventory screen is starting to take shape! Not a whole lot of visible progress, but implementing this properly took a lot of behind-the-scenes work on UI layout, menus and #i18n. Menus are now nestable, mouse controllable, and support 4-directional navigation. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I kinda wish Apple would go back to a two year release cycle for macOS updates. The new features haven't really justified the yearly cadence for a while now, and it would really help with stability. Imagine having a 15.8 or 15.9 version you could wait for and upgrade to with all the fixes and polish

UI Scaling Thread 🔍🧵 I want VARG to be playable (and look good!) at both low and high resolutions, which means making sure the UI scales properly (and finding good vector matches for the pixel fonts!) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #BevyEngine
