Howdy! Follow for political cold takes and intermittent game updates Unfollow for strife and ill tidings Follow at a distance to see where that mysterious hooded figures goes to at 4PM

Getting back into the groove of writing my networking library. Having fun. Working on projects like this is really fulfilling. I want to make more intentional time for them.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

my candle is burning on all ends. my candle is completely burnmogging your candle ..

(me looking at a tangle of nodes and UI overrides I no longer understand) "Best not mess with success"

1/ People keep saying AI is inevitable. History disagrees. Plenty of technologies were called unstoppable, and societies stopped them or shrank them down to a niche. A thread 🧵

i've just released v1.5.0 of @icons, my godot plugin full of cool custom node icons to make your scene trees more readable! :) this version adds 24 new icons, and is available on github and itch.io (and soon on the godot asset library, and godot asset store!) voxybuns.itch.io/at-icons

Patiently twiddling my thumbs waiting for 20 More, Somehow Even Smaller, Mazes to release. (Shoutout @flebpuzzles.bsky.social)

I think the cure for all my problems is finishing more projects

Distorting space with sine functions #math

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

I agree with everything Zi is saying here. Absolutely gorgeous piece of software

The game idea -> overscope pipeline is real. All I wanted to do was make a silly social VR game. Now I’m making a decentralized networking library.

Figured I'd put this out there again! Under 1k follower creatives! Mostly gamedevs and artists, but a few music folks in there too! Still some space for more people, too! #starterpack #gamedev #art #creativity

It’s actually okay that the exit and on ramps are so short in LA, because you’ll never be going more than 35mph on the freeway anyway

I feel like this was a lesson they could’ve learned for far less time and money

Been waiting for this for *years*

Do you ever read a technical article where it goes “and this is why approach A is terrible and no one should use it” and you go gulp I use approach A

Every time I learn something new about Rust it makes me happy :) Shoutout static promotion

correct they view words as a tool to be applied as necessary to achieve their end goal (power and money) and good faith does not register as a real concept to them, which is why you see them pivot in lockstep to the new party line and why they seem so confused by genuine showings of principle

All our games are on sale on Steam right now! 🎒 A Monster's Exhibition -70% 🔥 Bonfire Peaks -70% 🧟 Spooky Express -30% ⬛ LOK Digital -35% And more! store.steampowered.com/developer/dr...

The Penguin Festival team have not, do not, and will never use generative AI in any aspect of our work. We'll continue to tackle everything as creatives who care about the world outside of just making games. Thank you for your support so far. We hope to see you at the festival soon! 🎉🐧

Derelict Star now has a Steam bundle with @borbware.itch.io's Emuurom. store.steampowered.com/bundle/79719...

Threw this into my SDF renderer. Makes for a more fun result. (also highly recommend their [article on signed distance functions](iquilezles.org/articles/dis...). Very helpful resource)

This was not the case. The path is winding, rocky, and covered with shards of broken glass. No man can save me now, for I have forsaken my god and bent to the will of the RenderingDevice

looks like update 1.2.0 of my icon pack for #godotengine @icons will contain a little over 100 additional icons! release planned sometime this week :)

Had a fun time at #AWE! Especially great to talk to fellow Godot devs and also the wonderful crew of people maintaining the engine and supporting devs through W4!

Shoutout to robbing yourself of the joy of creating something beautiful and outsourcing it to the “lies and bad ideas” machine

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

Enjoying Mina the Hollower so far. I don’t think I *love* the bone loss on death system (as others have mentioned). The idea that I need to bank more and more each time in order to actually “save” them kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Bagels from scratch!

Either I'm being fucked with or Haskell has some seriously scuffed syntax
