no eng manager is perfect but when they use org-mode for note-taking/white-boarding during meetings you know they're at a different level than most

The second boss fight from Bertas Adventure. After fighting the Big Bad Fox now it's time to face death itself. The boss is an homage to the iconic Castlevania boss. There will be a lot of action with the deadliest of all farm tools. The scythe. #gamedev #bertasadventure

Stream starts in about 10-15 minutes over at twitch.tv/ecsodikas. We are doing some game dev on Bertas Adventure. Level design, boss design, design design. #live #gamedev #bertasadventure

Finally, I can be productive again. The last Balatro challange #jokerless is not fun. Too many game ending boss blinds. Too much RNG. But it's done. Alas, I can rest now.

I was a bit sloppy with my stream schedule. But tomorrow 18:00 UTC+2 we'll be back babyyyyyy

Does somebody know how to validate leaderboard data in a singleplayer game? I want my game to track time and you can submit the result after you've finished the game. The problem: i can't just use the inputs and validate against them because there is RNG in the game. I could create a daily rng seed

I'm currently developing my Hardcore Precision Platformer Bertas Adventure and I really hate it when such games have unfair mechanics. So I implemented an unfair mechanic because I'm not the one suffering. lol #berta #bertasadventure #gamedev #godot #platformer #precision #unfair #troll

VC money where?

Whenever I buy a programming book I go for beginners or intermediate because I know that I don't know a lot of stuff. But after those books I feel like I've not learned a lot. So I've bought Let over Lambda a book about Common Lisp macros. That's hardcore stuff. I don't understand most of it lol.

I'm something of a game developer myself.

First peek for the legendary boss fight: Berta fighting the Big Boy Fox Bertas Adventure, releasing anytime in the next few months or years. I don't know, game dev is hard.

Since I bought the RPG Maker MZ I looked at a lot of tutorials from so many gifted people and it brought me right back in my childhood where I was playing RPG Maker 2000 games all the time. I've not built anything myself yet but I always feel joy opening the editor just to put down some tiles.

I just stumbled across lambdanative. A Gambit scheme library that allows you to create mobile apps. It looks awesome. Sadly I'm too stupid to build this thing. :(

I just finished an RPG Maker 2000 game I was playing like 20 years ago. It took me about 20 hours. It's insane what quality of games people made back in the days with a tool as basic as the RPG Maker 2000. I was part of the community back then and I want to try out one of the latest RPG Makers.

Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers. So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up). Every. Time.

My ESC ranking for this years contest. I think the top 5 were pretty outstanding in comparison to the others. This year it felt a lot like people where not trying out crazy stuff as much. 1. Sweden 2. Estonia 3. Finland 4. Luxembourg 5. Iceland

I fucking love the Eurovision Song Contest. It's a very good mix of meme and music.

Today I tried PHP concurrency. Today I wished I did not try PHP concurrency. PHP is just not made for this stuff.

LLMs are fast at generating Code but have you tried Common Lisp macros? (go "brrrrrrrr")
