Got an (incomplete) map of Lancer Tactics' combat engine up on the wiki: wiki.lancertactics.com/Code_Map I'm still real proud of having hashed out this 3-layer "Celestial Order" system of organizing a Godot project. It's been able to handle everything I've thrown at it for the last three years.

Huh, time loop stories are roguelikes? I feel like there's something there where oftentimes we experience time nonlinearly in our minds. We go over the same memory repeatedly, thinking about it from different angles.

A reason we like timeloop/roguelikes stories is their premise reflects that and provides an escape in which we find resolution & master the wheel. We finally win that shower argument; we choose the other person; we say and do the right things, and the world kneels.

great thread about tenderfoot tactics. so much of it can also be applied to eidolon, a game that rewired my brain back in the day

Boatsim Boosterism@beasmeeply.bsky.social

I was reminded of tenderfoot tactics the other day. it's so dreamlike and wobbly and loose but has such a strong impressionistic truth to it. you're a band of goblin resistance fighters? fighting against a pervasive mist that corrupts and distorts everything, even seemingly the concept of space

Oh also we'll be closing the multiplayer+bugfixing job postings this weekend so I can start working my way through processing them. If you've been thinking of submitting something, now's the time!

Okay! Here’s the opening statement provided by the fired Rockstar workers. Key points: -There was allegedly a ‘mole’ in the union Discord server for over a year who funnelled info back to R* -It’s claimed R* only acted shortly after union members passed the 10% threshold for statutory recognition

My godette arrived! I love her!! She's definitely got less of that baseball affordance compared to the original but she's much more stylish. #godot

Can't believe it's taken me a whole year to get another batch of lego #lancerrpg mechs built. Here's Big Sal, Manticore, Black Witch, Goblin, and Hecatoncheires.

We got over 140 applications for this and it's going to take a couple weeks to sort through them — thank you for your interest and patience. 🙏

We need some help doing technical writing/editing for Lancer Tactics' rules text! Inline glossary tagging, styling, & adapting wording when it doesn't make sense in a video game context. ~40 hours of contract work staring at google sheets; job posting is here: lancertactics.com/hiring-techn...

Big Walk is a game where you sit on a bench next to your girlfriend at a light rail station as you wait for daybreak.

Weird accomplishments: I was the first person in the universe to know there's inhibitory feedback within the vocal circuit of x. laevis I once wrote a Kickstarter post so good staff emailed to say "wow good post! we all read it" I helped develop and name a new class of techniques in fire spinning

I invented an alien conlang for a game, then invented a poetry format for it I wrote/directed a game that got ranked 47th best PC game of all time by RPS I've built a game engine from scratch I once made a soup so bad that Alton Brown came into my mentions denying responsibility

Just manually sold a copy of LT to a player in brazil for half-price because the USD-Real exchange rate is so bad & itch.io doesn't have regional pricing... and it cost $30 to set up our Wise account to be able to directly accept payments. A+ business lol

@wick.works

but for real I wish there was a better way to make it so the US's economic imperialism didn't mean other countries can't really play premium indie games. I'm sure setting automatic regional pricing for a platform is a huge amount of work though.

We just had our first malicious upload to Lancer Tactics' mod.io directory! Somebody AI-vibe-coded a mockup of a companion editor app & provided an evil installer URL file. It's been removed, but stay on your toes. This shit looks plausible at first glance (but hilariously wrong in the details)
