Well this is going well so far Sent a friend the Godot project for my map editor and they've been hacking together an exporter for valve220 and have files being compiled into bsp now I still need to figure out a good workflow for exporting, but a promising start so far 😅

only took 5 hours but i can finally save and load projects in my map builder fuck yeah

on todays episode of godot one-liners that feel wrong but are completely valid GDScript

@venitstudios.bsky.social things are getting worse for me

i just love washing my hands and feeling a massive pain where i apparently have a cut on my hand

made a quick demo video of the map editor im making in #godot :)

I hope Sam Witwer stays around for more star wars projects, the dude is such an absolute nerd and has led to so much of the good Star Wars stuff recently

got it to a point of being able to make demo scene!

finally making decent progress with my map editor after taking a break with it and i've now added a UV editor! next step is hopefully implementing actual brush creation.. #godot #godotengine

Writing the campaigns went well I spent 5 hours, got a basic event line going then realized I have literally no idea what the hell I'm doing and now I'm researching...

finally consolidated all of my docs into one... organizing is a nightmare

Mostly finished off the new Arbiter model, still need to fill in some "decals" though. #blender #b3d #ucupaint #art

Accidentally applied the wrong texture and made a new fren. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Also my obligatory message saying you guys should listen to OK Go And the adjacent possible. It's just a good album

To no one's surprise OK Go is my top band on my yt music recap

been thinking about setting up a ko-fi and/or a patreon for my solo dev projects but haven't really settled on what i could provide to make it worthwhile for supporters. i'm already openly posting regular dev updates here, and i open source a lot of my tools.. any ideas?

chat did i cook

so twitter's evil bluesky's evil mastodon is impractical for a lot of people what social media platform is socially acceptable these days? are we all expected to use fucking newgrounds?

researching while i write some lore, WHY IS GORDON FREEMAN HERE?

Been researching other indie games and oh my god can we stop putting massive effects on everything I'm not easily overstimulated but almost every indie shooter these days is an overstimulating boomer shooter where every little action has a bunch of effects So Please, can we stop?

only took all day, finding a focus issue with godot's FoldableContainer, giving up with that route, experimenting with UI, but i finally have a working lobby setup UI and backend. one thing i still need to do is have per-gamemode settings show up in the UI

you know shit's wild when a subreddit has to be marked as NSFW because the mod team doesn't feel like doing their job of removing all of the NSFW content

been making progress here! got full vertex manipulation and textures working now #godot #godotengine

got face movement working now.. the next thing will be going through every face, finding shared verts, and extruding them 😭

taking a break on the game for a bit to focus more on some tools i've been wanting to make behold, face selection! #godot #godotengine

be me, not post in 8 hours, come back and post something completely unrelated to game dev. yep that's how it works around here 😎

so apparently the singer of my favorite band is married to al gore's daughter and his sister directed pitch perfect 3. what a legacy lmao

figured it out.. kinda

how the hell do people do UV unwrapping

I record every match of Titanfall 2 that I can and I often listen to music while playing.. If something cool happens, I post it on r/Titanfall, maybe it blows up, and then there's always one guy complementing me on the music. It's just whatever I'm listening to at the time 😭

Also the difference of yt shorts and tiktok is insane. Uploaded the same videos on either platform, tiktok got 11 views and 2 likes while YouTube got 1.1k views and 14 likes. The accounts are practically the same age.

man I might have to make a xwitter account to reserve the username and attempt marketing 😭

I must be getting followed by bots, I've been looping through 215 and 220 followers all day 🤔

This mission continues to lead to some of the weirdest headlines I've ever seen.

Genuinely, shout out to @watchexp.bsky.social for having some incredibly detailed videos while also being entertaining. I've been watching them since their g*mesp*t days and love the content. from watching their content i've learned a lot on a topic i knew nothing about when i started this game.

been working on a new rifle model for frontier deadzone NOW THAT I ACTUALLY KNOW HOW GUNS WORK i think i cooked? still need to do some materials. bonus view of the gun in game. #b3d #blender #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

i keep telling @freedomforgestudios.com that he can't go around yoinking people but he won't listen D: anyways wishlist astro yoinkers, i'm occasionally losing braincells helping on this project. store.steampowered.com/app/4456960

Update on this Someone is now challenging it and saying it should be blocking behavior and treated as a bug. I love open source so much

And now I'm getting YT Premium recommended for listening to locally stored files (mostly my own stuff) in the background, a behavior I can have for free hmmmmmmmmmm 🤔

The NIF is one of those things you rarely hear about but when you do most times it's because they broke a record on power consumption

For as much as I want to push for this month to be an art grind, last time I attempted one I just ended up refactoring every system I could. Hopefully I can start to get a marketable product soon 😕

I didn't even notice that Jerry got verified I just saw that his profile picture changed

Converting this to an SMG is gonna be a pain.. The chamber is directly between the ejection port and the vents up front, and it's modelled as a gas piston system 😐 Might be able to do what the SCAR did and just shorten the entire body, add a hand rest then shorten the barrel.

Finally managed to fight back against my undiagnosed ADHD and managed to get a rifle mostly modelled 🥹 I still need to do geo cleanup, add controls, UV unwrapping, texturing, animating...

no one told me i'd be taking an engineering class just for some weapons in my game

i play titanfall 2 way too much and i feel like this clip proves that.

whoever decided the ai overview was a good idea i searched for "godot docs scene tree" and it gave me this lmao

* Shakes magic 8-ball * "Is the software on the Artemis II sufficient for the astronauts?"

For the first time in nearly 54 years, humans are officially headed toward the Moon! The Trans Lunar Injection burn began at 7:49pm EDT (23:49 UTC) and lasted approx. five minutes and 51 seconds. Mission Control has confirmed a successful burn. Let’s go Artemis!! www.youtube.com/live/8n1GGe0...

fun fact NASA posts photos on flickr www.flickr.com/photos/nasah... anyways, new desktop background!
