I hope the Mario Galaxy Movie has a game breaking arbitrary code execution or crash exploit that stems from Yoshi Nearly every game that has Yoshi be able to eat something has a crash associated with Yoshi eating something he's not supposed to

Good news it averages over 30fps with some Degradation of quality

this funny little weekend afternoon side project has immediately over scoped and now i want to make a full demo out of this, except i have an actual game to work on

god dammit now i actually want to do this.. the brackey's jam is coming up soon, maybe i can experiment with it for that 😅

BEHOLD! Yeah this actually wasn't too difficult to do I just forgot that depth textures aren't linear out of the box

threw the source code for this up on codeberg for those who want to mess with it: codeberg.org/venitstudios... #godot #indiedev

added a distance fade and experimenting with using noise textures as the input

got bored, made a voxel space renderer in #godot using a canvasitem shader and a basic player controller in gdscript ported from the code examples given in github.com/s-macke/Voxe... mostly as a "tech demo" but it could be interesting to make a game with

someone for the love of god tell me what im doing because i feel like i lost the plot

been going the route of the gameboy architecture and hoooly sharp was cooking with making that cpu the most cursed thing in existence the idea was to make the z80 more usable but just became a weird combination of the z80 and i8080

how tf does anyone design maps? i've been at this for like half an hour and all i have is a fucking google doc and some squares

After all of this research I have a new idea for the weapon overhaul that I've had planned Except its gonna be a pain in the ass to implement Everything would hopefully be modular and procedurally animated in one way or another

I have been binge watching exp's videos basically all evening Johnathan Ferguson's voice and face is now ingrained in my mind and I have a 3 page google doc about firearm design I can't even tell if this is research for game dev or just a niche hobby

I feel tempted to make a gun for deadzone that is so ridiculously stupid just to bother Johnathon Ferguson

I've been going down the strange rabbithole of vehicular sports that are active in China They usually include a car having to drive out of a pit covered in something I am curious to how this started

On the topic of music it'd be really funny if i got stephen barton to do the soundtrack for deadzone Only issue is i'm sure he'll cost a bunch to commission

you know, alan walker ended 2025 off strong with quantum beats but i'm not really excited for his upcoming album.. also what the fuck is void? someone told me it's melodic dubstep but the drop sounds like a beginning producer tried to make progressive house

I hate UI Development especially when you have to reuse code to the point where you might as well just merge the functionality of some elements into a single scene but then it'll just create a messier main script so you need it to be a separate script

i have some real fun comments i write sometimes erm akshually, primary is handled by the class 🤓👆

chat i feel like i need to get an announcement done on march 11th

it is a miracle anything in my codebase functions.

as part of my research into titanfall 1 (i don't own the game so i've been going off of youtube videos) i've found a lot of still-active youtubers that used to make a load of videos on the game. marketing is gonna be fun :D

on today's episode of cursed UI code with CSLR

you know, i really wish godot had a stylebox that could contain a shader that only applies for that specific stylebox

making this decision early will probably not be releasing in the UK, i would rather lose a market than deal with their stupid laws.

Still not done with this by the way This is more or less the current state of the Loadout UI, not a whole lot to see right now.. I also need to decide on the style of the selection UI I want to go with. It's gonna be a Separate interface that pops up for each item to modify, though.

why have AI generate a kind of complicated script for you when some guy on reddit has done it years ago? thank you, random redditor

after seeing the changes they're making to disable some voice lines in apex legends i feel very uneasy sure, there's a competitive reason for not having as many legend voice lines but for casual players with them missing the game just doesn't feel as alive.

Anyone else just binge retro video game mechanics explained? I'm too young to have nostalgia for retro/arcade games but I just find it interesting how they handled stuff with their limitations

space war with large robots

This might also remain one of the last things I maintain support of on GitHub I have some future foss projects I plan to work on that will most likely reside on codeberg

Someone has consistently ordered bagels from a bagel shop across the country from me while using my phone number for notifications I'm pretty sure this is an automated notification cause it's from a different number each time and the order # is consistently 30 ahead each morning

tsoding is the goat of programming on bluesky

Honestly after iron lung's success i hope the trend continues but I know it probably wont The film industry has been in a rough place for a while and Netflix won't always find success with indie projects I wish the best for indie filmmakers 🫡

In the pit of burnout again Most likely taking another week off I will see you losers in hell... Probably.

next time you get mad at nasa for delaying a rocket to a hydrogen leak i want you to try storing the smallest atomic element at near absolute zero temperatures

Artemis II: No decision on rollback, but confident the work can be conducted at 39B. So trending towards no rollback. They need to work the data before a final decision.

Bust out the champagne we hit 100 stars on GitHub 🥳 I genuinely can't tell if this is a lot or not lmao

In the midst of doing a large refactor to my codebase you know what I've done today? Played titanfall 2. For like 5 hours. You know what I should have done today? Make UI!

you know you've played too much titanfall 2 when you can just snipe a pilot out of the air with the 40mm cannon

My groundbreaking theory on why some #indiegame Genres work so well on Steam

Gonna have to complete this in the morning Making The loadout UI has been a little difficult since I didn't really have much of a plan

Quick note: please be mindful when leaving negative reviews on Steam as they can heavily impact a game's score. If you have questions or need support, reviews aren't the best place. Opening a discussion thread helps everyone. Reviews are best kept for sharing your experience!

looking through old titanfall concepts to see if theres any inspiration i could get out of them and OH MY GOD I NEED THESE CONTROLLERS

5 hours in to the LOADOUT refactor. i've since completely remade the player spawning system, i still need to remake the titan spawning system, re-integrate weapon attachments, make new loadout interfaces.. fml

so my new loadout format just works apparently? the old loadouts json file was 2kb, the new binary format is only 400 bytes and should hopefully be a lot more modular

this is probably how constructors are supposed to be used but it just feels wrong.. #godot

do you ever just write a function to try and make it as efficient as possible then realize after writing it that it looks AI generated? yeah i've been there

Well it's 2am and tomorrow I have to do the largest codebase refactors I will ever do. My Loadout System needs to undergo massive changes and then I need to make literally everything else use the new Loadout System... And it'll need to be networked 🫠
