Why do I have to write shit all weird sometimes? While writing an application I followed a checklist, and it was written like "In the last 5 years, have you ...". So I wrote that I haven't done crime in the last 5 years. I meant ever!

It's frustrating to apply for a job listing I'm a perfect fit for, be rejected because they allegedly filled it, and then continue to see dozens of fitting listings and then hear them pop up on the news as expanding their hiring further, like.... hello?

Hey it's not every day that your landlord incriminates himself in writing. Gosh I just need to get out of this harassment and stress!

I wonder what medieval caravan traders would have thought about modern high-speed-rail.

Serendipity is when there is a one-leg train directly between the two small cities that usually would take me between 4 and 8 legs. Reality is when this train is so delayed I might miss the last bus home. :|

The best translation errors happen when it's the most important not to have them. In front of prospective landlords, Standesamt, bosses, etc.

Too many Apps have blue icons these days

It's so amusing seeing Telekom ads for "Vollgas!" with a coax cable (or sometimes fiber optic) when all they are selling in the ad region is overpriced VDSL

Ok but he's right though

Working on Multimesh+ for my game, a simple multimesh editor in #GodotEngine. Add, delete, scale, and paint. MM+ is designed to facilitate the editing of multimesh instances and divide them on a grid for 3D culling. All available on GitHub :)

Uff... Shrouded Suns just hit "Trending Upcoming" in "Space Sim" on Steam and I think it breaks some law of honest indie self-promotion if I don't share this. Want to keep it in there? Cheeky Steam-Link: store.steampowered.com/app/4060820/... #Gamedev #Indiegame #Godot #GodotEngine #SpaceGame

Okay, something different: sharing some older prototype I did in Godot a while ago. I CANNOT be the only one that tends to put far too much work into these things before noticing that they are no fun without spaceships? Anybody else wanna share from their #ProjectGraveyard ? #indiedev #godot

Gotta be honest, I've never tried getting an apartment in a "tense" renting market before. Struggling to even get a baseline for expectations. I've been ghosted while job hunting but honestly never had that with apartment hunting before.

My wife @nebularinkstain.com describes this as "Opacent", which is a word that doesn't exist but 100% should. #gamedev #blender

Holy crap, it's silent again. I can hear again!

heres what im working on rn, learned how to make an interrior mapping shader off yt and now im trying to figure out how to apply this to my building facades, babysteps for now

OMFG I just found out that they poached the project guy who was in charge of media funding when they got approved for TWO consecutive funding rounds. Talk about impropriety!

SMH at watching the CEO of a studio that makes more money from government handouts than from their games make a 3000 character LinkedIn post whining that they can't check the "No AI used" box on a funding application because "it's not that simple".

I miss demo discs

Overheard my wife saying, "I wish it wasn't cold in the winter" to herself. lol😆

When productionizing a jam game, do you usually rewrite everything or refactor in place?

When you think about it, busses and trains are a kind of clock

when building a game, you just keep on developing internal tools.. you think you won't need them and then later you do. In this case: I needed to inspect how different terrain textures influence grip and other driving behavior..

Somewhere between chaos and calm, among ruins and clouds, hope still flickers.

The problem with talking about being in crisis-mode is that each crisis is different and the impact is different. Right now I'm in crisis mode like this one, where the thing I'm freaking out about probably won't happen but could be really, really terrible if it did. Maybe I'll roll high?

Took a break from the project I should be working on for a little side quest. I've wanted to try making a desktop idle game for a while now. Little Desktop Runner sits on your desktop and is about going for runs and slowly improving. Wishlists appreciated! store.steampowered.com/app/4167350

Got a lil' bit fed up with myself for how much of my output lately has been fanart, wanted to try making something that was ENTIRELY me for a change. Hope everyone enjoys my new son as much as I do 🌱💙

If you're a first-time #indiegamedev looking for someone to check out your game, sign-ups are open for my once-a-month Debut Devs showcase forms.gle/3d7pTaRu4ipm...

An even more egregious example in the article: Ubisoft accepted 6 million euros from the German government in some sort of arts fund, only to machine translate the German language option.

Strange that the Steam version of Godot has strange UI focus issues for me, but the downloaded executable doesn't.

these industry professionals, are they in the room with us?

In case anyone has been wondering why a certain Godot camera addon has been on a bit of an unintended dev hiatus since summer 🥲

Robot Detour, my first Steam release and small puzzle magnum opus, turns 1 today! 🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/2666840/... It's on -50% sale for a week (just 3 bucks), you literally have no excuse to try this game. It's short (~3 hours) and inventive! 1 year in and we're still at 100% positive 💚

The best part of #GodotFest was leading people through unfamiliar Munich streets in the dark with nobody really checking if I was getting us lost.

I don't wanna give Deutsche Bahn any ideas, but tbh I'd rather my whole train be cancelled than have literally every toilet on a three hour train be out-of-order!

And suddenly… Godot. @godotengine.org @godotfest.com #godot #godotengine #godotfest #gamedev #munich #münchen

Highlights from #godotfest let’s fucking goooo - randomly meeting *some guy* who turned out to be @smitner.studio and absolutely losing it - a dinner party that just kept growing, like one massive snowball of game devs and godot contributors - the plant rendering speaker talking about TREE-ometry

What felt like the biggest compliment at #GodotFest was being asked how much I doctor my screenshots :D I myself think the game looks way better in motion. My only trick is I made a button/script to pause gameplay without locking the camera. That way I get a janky photo mode, but I don't even use it

GodotFest turned out to be too short actually. Man. Greatest community ever. #GodotFest #GameDev

Thanks to everyone at GodotFest for being yourselves! I had a lot of fun and it was exciting getting to meet everyone and feel a part of the community!

What an amazing first day of #GodotFest in Munich - so many interesting talks, so many friendly people. The venue is as good as it gets. The atmosphere is positive & full of energy. And #Godot turns out to be an absolute beast! Inspiring!

Did not post for a long time, have been busy mostly working on gameplay. So here is a small update on the lighted scene, but it will still be filled with more gameplay content. Also those are wind-waker lights using Stencil Buffer. #godot #godotengine

Yay GodotFest!

Traaaaaaaaaaaains! 🚂

The "tech job" market is such a disaster.

A) When did Flir become Teledyne? B) Did nobody tell them that "Teledyne Vision Solutions" sounds like the villian megacorp in some dystopian cyberpunk story?

ugh, I hate when I code myself into a corner with a prototype and need to figure out how far to backtrack

omg maybe finally

I have this daydream that if I just make the perfect LinkedIn post, I can show that I know (enough) what I'm doing that I should get a Rust job writing performance-critical code but no matter how I try to think about it... that just feels like such a foolish imagination

New blog site (with RSS!), and UPDATE ON MESH CONTOURS! I've rewrote that whole part of my star blog article on how to render lines for games, by adding my own PhD work that makes it now possible in realtime! Read it AGAIN! panthavma.com/articles/lin...
