Satisfying pseudo 3D effect in PIXI.js

If in doubt, make it a function :)

Lil suggestion, but you could have an apply damage method on the enemies, which takes the damage for the bullet as an argument. That way, if you add armor later, for instance, that could be a factor in the applying of damage. There doesn't seem a need for a bullet to "know" how much HP an enemy has.

I do love that it's "confetti" particles look like diarrhea, literally.

Web Gl Easter Egg Hunt – Single-file Html A conversational AI system that listens, learns, and challenges

Here is chatgpt's attempt at making a simple easter egg game for an ecommerce site as a promotion. It's both impressive and utterly useless. Impressive in that it wrote it's own webgl "engine" from scratch, useless in that it'd take so long to turn into something usable.

It's devaluing the industry because clients, which are typically not technical people, think a game can just be magicked out of thin air with a few prompts. As an experiment I thought I'd try chatgpt 5 with a simple brief for a game I made some time ago. Let's see what it came up with.

I don't often post on here, but if I did I'd mostly be moaning about AI garbage like many game devs on here. I see so many contracts now asking for "vibe" coding games (read: I don't want to spend any money).

Thanks mate. Keep me posted on your games progress :)

Top tip, use a matrix2d, the y dimension isn't that important from the AI's point of view ;)

Ah that's cool. Exactly how we did it, good to know wasn't a crazy solution :)

Looks great. I worked on a football game few years back, was tricky creating the AI. How did you handle it?

Here are some nice mushrooms

Mini rant here, but I'm getting sick of these "web3" games contracts I'm seeing everywhere. It's exhausting enough trying to find new contracts, without getting part way through a proposal before realising its an NFT game, and likely something close to a scam...

I do game dev and computer science if that's any use

Managed to port over to S&Box loading the questions / answers and displaying them from our pub quiz game. Quite a cool engine despite the weird sausage people.

If there is any space left I'd appreciate an add :)

also, owls are cool!

Playing around with S&Box editor. Seems like a good game engine so far and avoids a lot of the headache of doing multiplayer in Unity.

That's what I did in the end. It's still just a zip file but at least it isn't a sketchy looking mediafire link 😅

Lead Artist Andy has been working on a train animation for one of the planned bosses for our Dracs After Dusk demo. This little guy on top of the engine will help you take down the big baddie!

That's a good suggestion. At least can verify is nothing dodgy in there :)

What would be a good way to share some free game assets with the lovely people here on Bluesky?

2.5d racing game

Ah I found a build still hosted on our servers. The project fell through in the end but I still think it's pretty cool for a prototype and fulfils the brief of a retro synthwave endless runner for web / mobile platforms.

Anyone need assets for a 2.5D retro racer?

Over time you end up with so many prototype / demos and assets that never get used. If I dug around on hard drives I probably got some cool stuff someone might find useful.
