One of my favorite ways to utilize the twist warp is to align it with the cross-fade frontier. This way the shape blend happens in the coiled up region, which looks super neat. :)
Keeper's morphs are authored as scene-graph or more specifically as a scene-tree, which is evaluated bottom-up. I wrote a “compiler” which turns the tree into a command list which can be executed on the GPU. The compiler does a fair amount of optimization (e.g. dead branch pruning) to minimize cost.
I genuinely believe that Keeper is one of the game's industry most excellent and exciting achievements of the decade. A seemingly un-pitchable game that stands strong on its core tenets of emotional connection and teaching the player to let go of preconceived game notions. I thoroughly enjoyed it
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Hey folks, haven't been very active here of late, but for good reasons! I've been using all of my free time to focus on my game and get it to a stage where I could showcase it. Here's an updated teaser, playable demo very soon! #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #ドット絵
Really weird to see people try to portray Bluesky as a radical website when you’ll scroll past about 10 straight posts about how great spaghetti is

Reworked the Burning Rubber upgrade from Scoville 🔥 in the latest demo update. It's much more useful now and feels a lot better. I'm considering making it feel heavier with some screenshake or something? #Scaravan66 #GamingCommunity #IndieGames

Long time no quack 🦆 Progress is slow, but I'm still doing important work on @awaddlefullife.bsky.social! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
Oh that sneaky photographer snapped a candid on me. I was looking right at him and I didn't even notice. Well done secret picture box man.
Dwarrows is such a ChillGuy™ You can build a town and have a friendship battle with a goose who becomes your buddy and go on adventures with you in the woods.
I'm glad society has moved passed deliberately sneezing at things, allergy season must've been an absolute mess.
It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
My conversation with @danielalbu.bsky.social about my career and how Monkey Island and the other LucasArts adventure games were remastered airs in about 90 minutes. I'll try to jump into the chat at some point. Hope to see you there! :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyPE...

#Mayterials Days 13-14: Illuminated Inspired by a sort of cyberpunk aesthetic, I mainly wanted to make some big bright neon signs. For how behind I am, I definitely didn't give myself any favors with this one. 🍜 _____ @theclubdiscord.bsky.social #Mayterials2025 #gameart
