I just disabled the local AI full line code completion in Rider. While it does dodge the worst AI problems by running locally, I still found it incredibly distracting. Sometimes, the suggestions would be helpful, but most of the time it threw me off the thing I was coding. #gamedev #programming

I'm trying to write a shader in #godot (4.3) and according to this page I should be assigning the final colour value to COLOR: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/shaders/screen-reading_shaders.html BUT, I get an error because in fragment() COLOR is a constant that can't be […]

I'm working on a #puzzle where the enemy is feeding on the anxieties of four NPCs and the player needs to talk to the NPCs to help with those anxieties. The main idea is that the NPCs can actually help each other (e.g. NPC who is anxious about not being able to feed their kids can get help […]

Anyone know about VDSL modems? Like, apart from the obvious differences in wi-fi speeds and number of ports, is there something to pay attention to when getting one? #hardware #vdsl #modem #network

I just watched a video on Spain's economic growth that's surpassing both rest of the EU and US. So what's their secret? - High immigration - Lots of renewable energy - Raising minimum wage and strengthening the unions I can't fathom how Finnish economy (among others) is doing so badly when […]

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

My desktop often looks like this after coming back from sleep mode and I'm beginning to wonder which of the #Lovecraftian dreamworlds my #linux visits during its slumber. #lovecraft #cthulhu #horror

For decades (no kidding!) the reason I've thought I can't make a 3D game from scratch has been my inability to handle skinned meshes. I've dabbled at it a few times before without much success, but finally FINALLY I managed to write a c++ / assimp […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Reminder that if you publish games on @itchio and want to get the most out of your game page, I have created a bunch of templates for all of the graphics you could need! ✨ https://jannikboysen.itch.io/easy-releasy #gamedev #indiedev #itchio #gameassets

I'm looking at #Steam analytics for #pointandclick #adventuregames and the median revenue is higher if only looking at games with the #pixelart tag. So I assume a vast part of the audience is looking for games that are like the 90s adventure game classics, rather than new more innovative titles […]

:apple_inc: 😅

Ever think about how Nikola Tesla gets ripped off by rich people even decades after his death?

For #TuneTuesday #FlowerPowerMusic I wanted to share a rather obscure Finnish black metal track from the late 90s, but turns out it's so obscure it's not available as a single track anywhere online (that I could find)! So you'll need to find it from the album yourself 😅 Artist: Black Swan […]

If I have a Component called Animator, does it go in the namespace components or animation? 🤔

A fair point fellow nerds... America is not safe. #Worldcon #SciFi

Ever get tired of how modern society is like a kindergarten free-for-all where we spend our days ripping toys from the hands of others while the teachers celebrate the biggest bullies? #capitalism #politics #CapitalismIsADeathCult

I have always wanted to make an #adventuregame - you know, the #pointandclick kind. Yet, during my 16 years as (mostly) an #indiedev I've never done so. Main reason is that I'm not an #artist, and the genre relies a lot on the visuals, so I haven't had the chance to do it solo, I haven't found […]

I'm making a small #cpp project from scratch with #opengl and can't decide this architectural detail: should I have a separate renderer class or put the rendering code inside the mesh class? #gamedev #gameprogramming

I'm doing a concept research/prototyping workshop tomorrow and looking for examples of steam games that are at least moderately successful *and* could have been prototyped in a weekend. Vampire Survivors is an obvious example, but what others should I include? #gamedev

Author, game designer and transgender woman, Crystal Frasier wrote on Blue Sky, "In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means […]

I've been using #linux for almost a month now, and I have been really happy with it. I managed to botch the boot manager so I'm not even able to boot back into Windows, but so far haven't had any need to, as I can access the NTFS drive anyway. I have #arch_linux and it's been treating me well […]

TIL: This is actually allowed (if not advisable) in C++ #programming #cpp

☘️ Totoro statue at a bus stop for the children Miyazaki Prefecture 🇯🇵 - More great street art and public art on www.streetartutopia.com

Totally anecdotal and not based on anything, but I think one reason people on #Mastodon and #Fediverse are so welcoming is that they genuinely care about the platform and the community. I've seen similar things happening in other small online societies: new people are welcomed with open arms - […]
