Picture of a brown fallen leaf on a green surface. The leaf has a friendly face and clearly wants to get to know you.

"Hey! Hello friend!"

Since I'm teaching C++ I can just straight up tell the students about the "converges to" operator

Well, despite all the complaining I'm seeing online, me and the kid had a great afternoon watching Super Mario Galaxy. I only wish they had crammed a little less stuff into this one.

A little teaser from @jhonnygoransson.bsky.social from the ongoing work on the upcoming Light component for Defold! 💡

This preview shows three different types of lights, each with their own properties, along with how they are represented in the Editor.

InnerVoid is a fully remote company and I can confirm that it's the best thing.

Also: learn to use the right tools for the job at hand, otherwise your efforts could be in vain.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Picture of a small wooden rack with three black shelves. The rack is in a corner, near an electrical outlet with a wi-fi extender plugged in. The lower shelf is empty, on the upper one there is a Leonardo Flying Machine Lego model and on the middle shelf there is a black old Dell Inspiron Zino used as a home server.

I'm unreasonably happy with this little corner I made for our home server.

oh my...

So, I have been almost completely away from social media for a couple months now, and it's been bliss.

I'll be back as soon as I find some way to keep it within healthy limits.

I just hate it when people get duped by thinking computers are magic because computers are so fucking stupid and the mystique around them is perpetuated by evil grifters

A short story worth reading...

Back again at personal #GameDev for #GetKeyOpenDoor, my short #PixelArt platformer. This is the introductory level for Gargoyles. It's probably too hard right now, but I'm going to fine tune difficulty when I have all the levels laid out.

Okay I think this is probably the final iteration looks-wise, at least for the basic procedural animations

I made simple shadows on top of my deferred shading - no filters, blur, and pretty visible peter panning, but it works! 😎

Shadow mapping is done using Defold Camera component to "see" the world from the perspective of the sun light ☀️

A quick step-by-step on a pixel art slime.

I have 2 weeks off work for the holidays – something basically every white collar and union worker used to get but as negotiating power eroded has become a rare extravagance

Honestly? I can see why... I've gone 4 days without a deadline and all I've done is cook, make art, and think about socialism

Do you want to make an editor built in Defold?

I just learned something that I want to share;

1. Create an invisible box with an outer shadow
2. Create an invisible box with an inner shadow
3. Place randomly...

TA-DA. Free depth in your texture!

I feel this whole thread so much, I could have written it myself.

Oh, and me and a friend built a SID emulator in uni, but I don't remember the tool right now.

Good news: starting to feel a bit like going back to work on my personal gamedev projects.

A bit in a rough patch lately, and I prefer silence (and some boosts) over random rants and negativity. I hope ti be back posting something gamedev related soon.

Twists are a pretty interesting subject to me.

Overall, my stance would be that while twists by themselves are cool, at their core, they should be about reframing the story.

Something about the world, a character or the very narrative was concealed, but what exactly does this new knowledge mean?
