  1. The dopamine hit of writing three lines of code that improved test suite performance by 40%, holy heck #gamedev

  2. normal C++ code written by a normal person who definitely hasn't been warped into somehow enjoying this language

    #gamedev #cpp #unrealengine

  3. Having made a few spacesims (Liberation, Cell Sword, Low Earth Orbit Adventures) I've always been intimidated by hardcore spacesims and fancy cockpit setups.

    Finally bit the bullet and got a second-hand #HOTAS and bit the other bullet and got #EliteDangerous... kind of underwhelmed by the controls. Very little is intuitive and so many buttons to remember.

    Even though I have a lot of room for improvement, I do a pretty good job with my games in hindsight!

  4. In the before-times, it is said that the above-land was a lush and vibrant place, where kitties could freely frolic and hunt for prey, the lights of the night painting a colourful canvas as a backdrop for their midnight mischief.

    These sky-projectors, salvaged by the Kitty Corps from now empty bunkers, contain lost fragments of skies untainted by the greed and folly of the two-legs.

  5. also, we really should ban volumetric clouds

    they still suck ass

    until there's a chance to raymarch them at full res without upscaling/TAA (so perhaps never), they'll continue to look blobular, unstable and porridge-like

    the beauty of IRL clouds is in how well-defined their shapes end up being

    we often seem to miss the artistic qualities for the simulated ones and it takes us a lot of time to go back to the artistic approach (we're clearly not there yet with clouds)

  6. Play free on your PC's browser: zerodutch.itch.io/dawnfall

    Two days trying to break Dawnfall on my phone. My hands and fingers found bugs my tests never did, and a mobile version is close now.

    How deep have you gotten?

  7. One trillion gems, I mean, one trillion plates of food, one trillion unique instances in Godot, 144fps. Mine, save, load instantly (world is procedurally generated, but once generated, it's unique, all instances remembered). Compute shaders go brrrr 🚀

    I've been doing only tool development, so decided to give a few days to new game experiments.

  8. #wip #animation #gamedev #NES #OC
    アマットのアニメーションはほぼ完成と言ってよさそうです。ハンマーを描く。
    3Dモデリングツールもさらに作りやすく改良しています。

  9. I didn't plan to hide part of the room when I made this, but that's a tool that emerged since then... I like what it adds to the room a lot! #gamedev #mazestalker #indiegame

  11. My #Luanti games will benefit from a few other new #Luanti 5.17.0 features:

    ▶️ HUD elements can now be force-shown even if the player hides the HUD with F1. This is useful for full-screen effects like splats, vignette, etc. which aren't really considered HUD
    ▶️ Some text widgets can now be aligned to the center or right. This simplifies GUI design

  12. Zaskoczyło mnie, jak bardzo niepokoi postać, która tylko patrzy.
    Hariti nie straszy głośno — działa subtelną niezgodnością z tym, co mózg uznaje za „normalne”.
