Indie devs are hitting the jackpot by repurposing gambling's flashy UX, enticing rewards and powerful loops.
I wrote about the ethical questions behind the gambling-roguelike, how the "quest for retention" shapes the games we play, and where pursuing flow risks stepping into the machine zone.
Work continues on the BSP import. Reworked my character controller a bit as well, and adding swimming/water control. Far from complete but a good first attempt so I can traverse some more areas. Still using Q2 maps as tests. Far from "gameplay ready" still, but getting very close
Today is the day of days. The Killing Stone has released in Early Access on Steam!

Yeah, if you can follow the code, it shouldn't be a problem
Tearing up your code into a hundreds of small files never seemed to be a good solution to me
I do like to have a limit on how big a function can be, and it having only one purpose (if possible)
Close though!!
Post them mages! 🧙♀️

If you've released a game, what's your largest number of code lines in a single file?
I'm trying to see if I'm crazy with my 9k or not 😅
Artists, quote with your faces 💫

i’m probably going to have to start putting “went out of my way to avoid using AI for making this” labels on my work.
How would you have capitalised on Spooky Bonus?
