Previously worked on many, many games; gamedev for nearly 20 years. I am old. I post random 3d printing stuff and sometimes bunnies. He/Him. Australia. Also birds apparently.
Added some boomy blocks, which do pretty much what one would expect. Check out those sweet sweet explosion animations. frikkin rad. They also cascade, as exploding boxes tend to do.
Made a basic level editor tool for my godot project. you can now bodge out a quick level and then play it immediately to see if it sucks (like this one that I made for this video does)
I have now added a crackin main menu. Somehow I have managed to take good art made by actual talented artists and turned it into programmer art. A true achievement.
This was in there sorta from the beginning, but you can also zoom in and out, truly groundbreaking stuff here 😅
I am learning Godot by building homages to some very old games. This one is vaguely Boulder-Dash shaped. I have added all the 'physics' of the original. I scavenged some more art from our old 'Charming' series of games. Also: basic transitions, animations, UI, and death loop! whee!
naw, that is like wankercore from like ten years ago, if you want to be a modern wanker you gotta go ultrawide:
I am finally getting into Godot properly, and in order to learn it I am just doing homages to very old games and cobbling them together with art from our other games :) This is basically the first level of the original Boulder Dash. Only movement for now, physics next.(but you can zoom in and out!)
Palworld figured it out? (yeah, they did an AI art game thing that is still out, which sucks, but they kinda learned from it? and are not doing it on the next one? I hate that they are making me kinda support them)
Remember: after you fix the motion smoothing on your parent's and friend's tvs, go ahead and change the default search engine on their computers and phones. Google search has not been good for some time, but now it is truly shithouse.
just watching ABC morning and they are talking food and cooking and showing heaps of b-roll of people cooking and all I can think is: SHARPEN YOUR FUKKKIN KNIVES!!! jfc people.
Just a gentle reminder that people who post really dumb shit just want you to reply to them. Just block them and move on, otherwise their engagement goes up and they get into way more feeds. I know it feels good to dunk on them, but that is exactly what they are after.
getting rid of my last baremetal windows install today. All future windows (mostly just smoke testing at this point) will happen in VMs as needed, but kept to the absolute minimum.
The bushfire haze has made it to Canberra. I hope everyone out there is staying safe.
welp. I am sure that in this case the push to maximise shareholder value will lead to a better app.
thinking I need a new side hobby, just a little one, just to pass some time...
