Grip Fast Gameworks

ko-fi.com/gripfastgame... We NEED 10 more original songs! Support culturally authentic, human created music (never AI) for #goingforthgbyday! See the thread for sneak peak music teaser! #gamedev #egyptology 🎼🪘🎻🪈🫶

Some very nuanced points made about the intersection of gaming, music, storytelling and art. youtu.be/BujJaUg04D8?... #chronotrigger #art #games #storytelling

Una cornetto por favore! #art

Another day, another input quagmire. Guess what I forgot to plan for the re-mapper? Yes, that's right, our favorite handheld device the #steamdeck! #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev @valvesoftware.com its just a placeholder. 🙇‍♂️ I'm tired boss. 😫

Well, PS Dualshock inputs can now be semi-customized. So. Many. Inputs. Thank heavens for @rcubdev.bsky.social add-on to get me going. No need to look over here @godotsteam.com 😱 #godot #gamedev #sologamedev #indiegamedev

Some of the academic books we are using for radically authentic historicity for our game set in the ancient Egyptian afterlife. #egypt #arthistory #ancient #metroidvania #goingforthbyday #Bayek #sologamedev #archaeogaming 🤓

Hey @mozilla.org why isn't this a standard option to put the FindBar at the top of the browser were all eye/input interaction occurs? Should be a checkbox in settings! We shouldn't have to continually update a userChrome.css profile every major release. The desktop isn't mobile.

Having some fun with arrow prototypes: Don't turn your back, don't look away, and DON'T blink! #videogames

Since I have dwarf papyrus plants, I made miniature paper! Don't forget to tickle the soil now again my #gamedev friends; your future Akh (Ba + Ka) will thank you for millions of years. #plants #gardening #mentalhealth

Being historically fanatical using primary sources whenever possible: this placeholder will now get transformed with a real bronze arrowhead of Neferkhawet, New Kingdom, ca. 1504–1447 BCE. The shaft and fletching will get painted by hand, later. 🏹 #Egyptology #videogames #design #handdrawngame

First real physics bug, testing arrow projectiles. Launching in 3, 2, 1... 🏹🚀 Hey @walaber.com, I get it now, its fun! 🛋️🛻 #gamedev

Understanding @nathanhoad.net great input re-mapper addon! Oh wait, lets create a sling-shot right thumbstick controller for ranged weapons so players remap that left? Wait, expand weapons list Old Kingdom and New Kingdom. Wait, now need even more animations? SCOPE CREEP IS REAL. #gamedev #indiedev

Time for another edition of embarrass yourself speaking ancient Egyptian! Can you guess what these phrases might be? #Egyptology #ancientbluesky please no hints for the gamers. Only roasts on my transliteration will be accepted. 😳 #goingforthbyday #gamedev #indiedev

They say custom tooling is everything in gamedev. So made a little python companion app for both Godot Launcher and Godots programs so now Godot Engine aware: 1 click git + rsync NAS pipelines. Many cumulative mins per week regained. Also started on a pause menu. Teaser image, far right. ⌛

GamePass = xCloud to get hourly limits? @valvesoftware.com wins again!

Teaser image: after weeks of gamedev while adhering to an ancient Egyptian papyrus aesthetic, this Video Control menu is finally FINISHED AND 100% FUNCTIONAL. Don't ask about translations, yet. 👨‍🏭 #screenshotsaturday #madewithgodot #goingforthbyday

Thurs. 1AM update: Upgrade #Godot v4.7.2 ✅ New SFX character pipeline: ✅ Restored PPA deb install GIMP 3.2+ with Rofi! ✅ Dynamic scaling finally obeys video controller system. ✅ Brightness/Contrast is smooth and immediate. ✅ Upscaling for fullscreen + borderless modes 🤔 #gamedev #goingforthbyday

Very small details can be quite beautiful in a #handdrawngame.

Recently broke a gampad controller manager really good + vibration events too, so decided to relax with simplifying the blog. Mostly back-end upgrades, new security suite, simplified visual difference. I remain a master strategist. 🤡️ blog.gripfastgame.works/

Peter. No. #optimusprime

Is 795 fps on a 9 year old GPU good? Its just a slightly animated settings sub-menu (sfx and a few live point-lights) but that seems pretty good for 4K windowed mode? #gamedev #linux

Whoa, someone just purchased my super cheap in-editor #godot video preview tool script (GPLv3)! I hope you find it very helpful, as I have. Now I can buy some more masala chai spices! 🫶☕ #gdscript #indie #solodev #gamedev gripfastgameworks.itch.io/godot-video-...

Cool, dynamic video settings! Wait, why did I build an additional dynamic label that updates in real time vs the live options if the stupid checkbox literally tells you that already. Don't be dumb like me and build things you don't need. 🤦🤡 #godottips #godot #gamedev

@plante.bsky.social this is a big step for us. Its official. 🎙️🎮😎
