There's a bit on the whole "You're really efficient at x, but going max efficiency for more than 4 hours will drain you of your remaining energy for the day" Anyone else has that?

Anyone else ever had the situation where there's some VERY complicated math on part of your game code, and you wrote a guide on how it works And it's like... the 7th time you're reading this because DEAR GOD the math is terrifying Having the hardest time with uneven frame count animations #gamedev

Aside from sprite work, I’ve been learning and doing some VFX. Here’s a compilation of the ones I made on Threads of Time:

I'm afraid I was completely cooked I was read like a book and nothing else can be done besides retiring My gaming career is over due to draconic tree sentinel

And the shapes are done! Really think that a wrist moulinet fits pretty well a lightning-wielding character, and making the animation as fast as possible feels gud

Have been working on the trailer for a while, but I'm back working on the animation of the characters for now And there's such a great satisfaction of being able to nerd about martial arts Not many other games I can justify animating a wrist moulinet because yes Anyways, here's today's progress!

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

It's dangerous to go alone.

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵! Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games! Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!

Chroma Zhulong patrolling Keeping an eye out while you rest and get ready for the next mission An digital painting I worked on last year 😋 #Warframe #Fanart

Update for today's mechanics: - Fumbled landing (also known as landing lag) - Run turnaround and reverse jump (Reverse aerial rush) - Strong attacks fully functional

A more recent look at the roster of Soul Parade

#Warframe Reaaaally feel that we could work on making Chroma's Effigy an exalted sentinel And the breath weapon being moddable with elemental mods be only damage boost And spectral scream scaling with the effigy's breath weapon, like Excalibur's slash dash in the future? Yum

As part of this challenge, here is Spark, the electric jester, using the Pico 8 palette :) #pixelart #pico8 #fanart #sparktheelectricjester

Today's furry character of the day is... Slade from Dungeons of Aether!

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

Hi eveyone, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted here (I think?). But I wanted to give you a fun challenge if you wanna join me: Making a character you like on a 32x32 canvas, that is the only limitation, here is a WIP of a Samus redesign I did on my style for the example!

Transitions #gamedev #pixelart

Oh yeah, a view of the first four characters of the roster Two of them with the moveset already set, the other two halfway there

Posting some old stuff I've done while coding some lots of mechanics is ongoing #PixelArt #animation

Well... listing out why a fighting game is good is weird. At least, listing well enough for you to be able to know where to break the mold and still keep it fun. Probably for every game, but for fg's, you can't really control the skill ceiling, so it gets finnicky. #fgc #fightinggame

Wait a minute! This site has VIDEO now! I can show the sprites I made for Savant Ascent Remix here! This is the Scarecrow. Reanimated metal ghoul that throws its own spirit essence to reap you. The tiny spirits are called called Eeps! #pixelart

Showcasing how you can combine many different movement abilities when platforming in ABYSS X ZERO! We're trying to mix the flow of 3D platformers and the methodical exploration of Metroidvanias Wishlist on Steam to support us! 👇👇 steampowered.com/app/2872300 #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegame

I feel like the antidote to imposter syndrome that no one talks about is treating yourself as an eternal student. It’s ok to not know what you’re doing! It’s ok to fail! Even if you lived forever there is still much to learn! The world is huge and beautiful and you are learning to be a part of it!

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Some routines are just so heavy in gamedev Doing the animations for the first fully functional prototype is taking a while, and while I know that I could do programming interchangeably, programming the mechanics doesn't take a third of what the animation takes But Im sooo cloooose 😓

What makes Bluesky better : the timeline does NOT Auto-refresh!

Wow, last month of college! I'm going crazy with everything I have to do, so if I disappear, you know why 😅 but whenever i have some spare time i work on this little challenge #pixelart

I was working on it for a while but I never noticed How the frame timers for a fighting game are an absolute mess Two frame startups must be shown even if barely noticeable, "impact" frames need to last longer depending on the weight of the move So you end up with frames on 33 to 250ms. Its wild

“𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥𝘺.” ― Ishirō Honda

Going for keyframes to hasten the last few moves for testing, another version of the grounded, two aerial versions and then one more special left, and then a big battery of coding to make it all work in game! Soon will be some UI, and then some smaller testing to see how the game feels

The aerial version of the move! It'll serve a bit of a movement niche along the common usage of it #gamedev #pixelart #animation
