I hate tower defense games. so I'm making a TOWER ATTACK GAME #LDJAM

Streaming Ludum Dare. Came up with 50 theme ideas yesterday and they were all garbo so I'm going to make a game that's been in the mind palace for a decade and work the theme around it twitch.tv/alexrosegames

Ludum Dare isn't dead. We're gonna keep doing it anyway Full keynote: ldjam.com/events/ludum...

Is Ludum Dare dying? My LD59 keynote www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2nu...

@distraction.engineer is it easy/possible to reenable twitch on the ldjam front page? last jam it was harder to watch people playtest because the twitch feed wasn't up so only regulars knew about it

@gamedesigndan.bsky.social youtu.be/-k4yjCo8JWs

just won my tenth ludum dare medal ayyy

Final day of Ludum Dare. 4 hours sleep. Can I still pull it together? Who knows? Who cares? Me! Making the dumbest game of all this quarter, here we go! twitch.tv/alexrosegames

once again I am streaming ludum dare. making a truly ridiculous game but it's starting to come together twitch.tv/alexrosegames

Day 1 of Ludum Dare I'm making something really dumb. twitch.tv/alexrosegames

LUDUM DARE THEME PREDICTION TIME twitch.tv/alexrosegames

I am generally offline nowadays but IT'S LUDUM DARE THIS WEEK, THIS IS NOW A LUDUM DARE ACCOUNT post your picks

requested a Rider/unity feature a while back: the ability to test platform-specific code/preprocessors without hard switching platform (e.g. use intellisense for PS5 while unity's in xbox mode) they put it to public voting so if you have a rider account: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-...

just signal boosting this hour long, very well edited video someone made on my game haha www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf7h...

Leftfield submissions are now open for EGX London, Oct 24th-26th: airtable.com/appIQDFmYU3o...

Finally ported Rude Bear to switch and just passed cert first time after 8 days of testing. can't catch me. it also runs at 120fps throughout on the ORIGINAL nintendo switch (which required gutting everything Unity in existence)

just come across the first problem in my life where I understand the problem and solution perfectly but I'm completely unable to make other people understand what the problem is, why the solution is necessary or how the solution works

after 23 years of rolling morrowind characters (always saving the main quest till last), I have actually managed finished the main quest (and every other faction) for the first time ever just now I have still never played any major mods for the game or the DLC so it will keep on giving haha

so, I decided to go ham on rude bear for a few weeks and make the best switch port ever because it was running at like.. 40fps and I didn't want it to ever get drop below 60 it's now running at like 200fps even on dev builds with deep profiling on

I'm excited but I don't want to jinx anything so I'm just writing this cryptic tweet

finally just got hit by a 9 year old curse from my past self

that's actually hilarious that they're still selling horse armour

if there is a saturation slider to make it green again I am all in

I'mma need to see some benchmarks on this shit asap to see if I need to get a 4/5 series rtx before I buy it lol

that's wild they're just beyonce dropping oblivion. with morrowind voice actors. wow

making my Ludum Dare game where you descend into hell on a tour bus tentative names: Strafe to Hell, Eternal Tour-ment, Tourist Trap

Day 2 of Ludum Dare! today I make the fun twitch.tv/alexrosegames

okay my Ludum Dare idea. it's not a shmup, it's SHMDOWN you're taking a photo tour to hell. streaming day 1 now www.twitch.tv/alexrosegames

I never realised (some??) americans say DK with the cadence of "decay" instead of like "deacon"

I am all in for a bloodborne spiritual successor

that's extremely unfortunate for dodgeroll

it's actually very clever that they can ship RTS games on switch 2 with the mouse. will be interesting to see if it's any good

no melee haha

MELEE??

wow props to supergiant getting straight in after elden ring and before capcom

by taking advantage of the nintendo switch 2, you can play the new pokemon game at a consistent 30fps!

ds download play is back baby

nintendo is really spending 10 minutes to explain the concept of discord

just leaving a tweet that is 299 characters long to see if the database admin team regret this april fools joke years down the line when they forget they did this and it breaks some major system lorem ipsum blorum blipsum morum mipsum rorum ripsum gorum gipsum yorum yipsum vorum vitsen xorum xitsn

decided after many years to finish porting Rude Bear to switch armed with 8 years of porting experience involved some mega tasks e.g.: - got rid of multi cameras, exposed sorting layers in textmesh - removed unity ui - rewrote input to use raw native calls - rewrote fmod to not use 3d attributes

disclaimer: this is now a ludum dare hype account for the next 2 weeks LUDUM DARAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

someone edited a really well edited 30 minute of their sanity degrading playing my game, I'm sure they would appreciate a like youtu.be/U0zJxpUVCrs

anyone know any podcasts that are purely audio and interesting enough to listen to but not dangerously interesting to an adhd person such that I start googling every 2 minutes

yesterday I was like "hmmm I bet I can take these png images and turn them into a font. there's probably a python library for that!" little did I know what I was getting myself into

just a heads up to anyone who's ever ported a game that has a Season Pass type DLC (not relevant to durables) make sure ingame purchases are still working on your live retail games. DMs are open if you want clarification

@darbotron.bsky.social this is your update that this is now the longest like to reply ratio ever. unfortunately it appears your half of the conversation has been destroyed, alas

here's a fun challenge. come up with a way for a human to generate numbers as randomly as possible without any tools or equipment

any clever people know about VRR? say you're in windows and you run a game at 60fps but your windows output res is set to e.g. 165hz, will you get screen tearing when you run it in windowed/borderless windowed mode? but in fullscreen you get full vrr? what about if vsync's on?

I am officially coining the phrase "log lag" to replace "console spam". use it freely. you're welcome.
