yeeeaaah i hate it when this happens like, every time i leave my room i also suddenly lose my head, and my whole body also implodes into a lumpy, wet ball of twitching flesh. desperate for help, yet making no progress...

this video made me curious, if stop killing games was discussed in the uk parliament, what was the conclusion? and... oh boy, it's pretty much what i feared the worst

Remember what they took from us

time to stop being a pussy myself. im gonna attempt writing my own 2d physics engine "but mores you can use box2d with gamemaker" yeah except gamemaker's implementation is kind of limited. i want FULL control. and for that, i have to get balls deep myself

We love open source! So, we decided to open-source the GameMaker libraries we use in production at Distant Illusions. - wFSM for state machines - wTimer for scheduling function executions - wRNG for seeded randomization - wEase for animation curves Try them out here: distantillusions.itch.io/digm

We've found plenty of keitai freeware games, but "Super Merio" has shown up on multiple devices. As the name suggests, it's a Mario clone. Released in 2001, it's one of the earliest pieces of keitai freeware that we've preserved. It has two sequels (?) and even a spinoff called "Dr. Merio."

"okay, so this part isn't finished, so ignore that. oh and that part is a placeholder, ignore that too. this part is gonna get replaced as well, don't worry about it. anyways, do you like my game?"

i think i made a huge discovery apparently operius dx performs worse on switch 2 than on switch 1?

idea: an open source game where anyone can contribute, however they want. there are no limitations, all PRs are accepted as long as they are not malicious

godot is free. gamemaker is free. heck, unity is free too! what's your excuse?

incredible things are happening in gamedev twitter

November-themed official "Super Monkey Ball 2" (GCN) wallpaper. [スーパーモンキーボール2]

It's that time of the month again! No not that one. Gross, dude. Anyway, the newsletter is here again, in this deep dark month of not quite winter. distantillusions.com/blog/post/di...

oh ok, that was convenient

do you guys like my halloween costume. im dressed as "change instance" from gamemaker 8

i actually like everything here! - replies from accounts related to me appearing first? twitter already did this and i think it was for the better! - dislikes feature, acting as a "not interested" button? yes please, this is great, and i like that it isn't global

my original plan after operius dx was to release smaller games while also working on a major project on the side, but now that operius dx has dropped and nobody really gave a fuck about it, im really questioning if that was the right call

the discussion around bias in wikipedia is kinda funny to me because ive been saying that english wikipedia is very much biased for years by now there's a heavy nationalistic bias towards western countries, as well as communities/ethnic groups with a strong english speaking populations/diaspora

Wow! The Scudember 2024 release of #GameMaker is here. I love making games with #GameMaker, the ultimate game development tool for making 2D games, used by indie developers, professional studios, and educators worldwide. Thank you for blessing us in the month of #Scudember.

the fucked up part of ai is that it's built by programmers, so all the ai programming tools are made to assist programmers, and work far better than you'd think meanwhile, ai art tools are always about "replacing" artists instead since these ai people see dealing with artists as a waste of time

earlier today i wanted to start writing the character controller for my game and somehow blacked out for like 10 hours i woke up like an hour ago, naked in a dumpster near a parking lot, with "PHYSICS ENGINE" tattooed on my forehead. and turns out the game STILL doesn't have a character controller

the sweat baby made my games woke

apparently i can set dashie as my gps

they should add it to the snapchat spectacles. imagine the possibilities

mozilla will go ahead and document every single web api, only to tell you that they are the only ones not to implement it, despite the extension in question being around SINCE 2018 with every day passes i become more and more anti-firefox-pilled

is this also an xbox

9. im very intimidating and mysterious and badass

ITS BEEN A GREAT HONOR BEING THE CREATOR OF THE FIRST EVER ALARMO GAME !!!

there's something extremely funny to me about miyamoto never saying that about movies. like, wasn't that quote about delayed games completely made up too? we're just making shit up about him now and everyone's going along with it because it sounds funny enough LOL

yeah i use godot. it's better than gamemaker btw. oh and i code in rust. it's better than c++ btw. i do all that on linux. it's better than windows btw. what distro? it's arch. better than ubuntu btw. and buy my games from gog. better than steam btw. and my browser is brave. better than chrome btw

we must destroy reddit

i hate the idea of windows constantly scanning what's on your display, but i dont hate the idea of using natural language to navigate the os. after all, the search box is a very basic application of this very concept, and we use it all the time like, it'd be huge for accessibility!

apparently it's #portfolioday! im not much of an artist BUT i make video games :D

playing around with shaders again

chat, how do we feel about these nintendo news sites giving publicity to shameless ai slop just because they are from a known slop publisher, then ignoring independently published switch games that have actual human effort?

apparently it's #portfolioday! im not much of an artist BUT i make video games :D

a good quote i heard once was "a game for everyone is a game for no one" make weird games, everyone

i used to be way more centrist with my politics, and held the opinion that both sides had their shit. i still don't like to box myself to one camp, but these days every single person complaining about leftists are such fucking shitbags that i find my politics constantly pushed further towards left

inbred

what

you absolutely STILL have the time to vote for me btw! not just for operius dx, but for ME apparently the finalists get 12 months of enterprise license, and that shit is Very Expensive, so this is genuinely one of the best ways to support what i do
