I've just released the TYPECAST demo... two years after the initial game released! Here's the catch. It's not really a demo. It's the whole ass game for FREE but without leaderboards. If you want to compete upon the altar of pain then you gotta give me $4.99 gutter-arcade.itch.io/typecast

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is my brother's friends coming over. He got them hooked on Towerfall last year While they wiped the floor with me in 2024, I'm proud to say I returned victorious this year

these 2 methods save me so much time

I had the .gm6 file for one of the Jumper games and would make certain levels easier for myself so I could complete the game. As time went on, fewer and fewer obstacles had to be removed

What are folks using to transcribe audio? I want to generate captions with timestamps, to use as subtitles via code

Throwback to when I was 13 and obsessed with @maddymakesgames.com's An Untitled Story and wanted to make my own

Foiled again by text rendering!! There's a lot of fonts out there that don't handle outline strokes well at large values (or in this case, even a width of 10)

Love looking at things like this!! Especially the ones that are calculated based off of other values.

Ok quick thread on Game Mechanic Museum-like resources 1. Geoffrey Engelstein & Isaac Shalev's Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design, genuinely changed my brain chemistry www.goodreads.com/book/show/45...

Why you should hire me as a narrative designer: • I've got creative & technical chops • I obsess over the process in ways you couldn't imagine • I write both sins AND tragedies

this fall I worked with the core Git folks on writing an official data model for Git and it just got merged! I learned a few new things from writing it. github.com/git/git/blob...

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Recent work on Canvas Lord has forced me to become more familiar with TypeScript's tsconfig.json files and npm/package.json files There's so much I'm still not entirely certain about, but I think things are getting closer to a good state?

Does anyone know what this is from? I gotta see more

In the US Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 2nd edition video game from Eidos & Jellyvision, entering your name as "Regis", "Millionaire", or one of the actual $10^6 winners on the show would result in the game changing your name to "Faker" or "Cheater". So I could not play the game as myself.

Hey #gamedev community! I'm curious how y'all handle ANGLES Do you use both degrees and radians? Wrap radian-specific functions with a degrees version? Only use radians? I'm working on some helper methods for angles and wanna know how folks actually interface with the two standards

you're telling me a duck typed this code?

That about sums it up.

do stuff badly stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well draw badly write badly code badly sport badly only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good unless it's a job good isn't the point

this is so good

I wish there was a good place to put a poll asking what game dev folks are using in lieu of Twitter, as well as just social media in general How are they using it? Are they mostly posting/marketing? Lurking? Finding leads? Staying in touch with friends?

There's a new VSCode update that adds a tab titled "Agent Sessions" at the very top of the sidebar, focused by default I found out you can disable ALL AI-related features by toggling "chat.disableAllFeatures" Source: code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot...

MY PARTNER AND I GOT SOME AMAZING NEWS! WHICH MEANS I CAN FINALLY ANNOUNCE CONFIDENTLY. I AM MOVING TO BE A FULL-TIME INDIE GAMEDEV. I GET TO LIVE MY FUCKING DREAMS. OH MY GOD. I'M FREAKING OUT.

I am excited to share this new single-header C library I have been working on for a while now: vecmath.h, a comprehensive vector/matrix math library for graphics/games/3d. It allows you to write vector math code in C that looks like this:

I thought it was "manual" as in "with hands" ("manus" in latin)

But, also, maybe. The two "man" parts (snicker) in "human" and "manual" are hypothetically different roots. The one in "manual": Latin manus "hand, strength, power" > OE mund "hand, protection, guardian". The one in "human": PIE mon "human being; man" > OE mann "human being; hero; servant".

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

Y'ALL Resident linguistics and etymology enthusiast here I've always seen "manually" and "manual" + "ly" but always thought of "manual" as a single cohesive unit BUT IT'S ALSO TWO PARTS "man" + "ual" MAN LIKE HUMAN That is all, thank you

Just spent 10 minutes trying to find an article I read earlier, only to discover that it was something I read in the Substack app Having history spread across so many different apps is incredibly annoying :/

I'm house-sitting for a friend, and gotta say, being able to walk to a grocery store in under 15 minutes is so nice Where I was staying prior, it was a 20 minute drive to the nearest store!
