We have finally got fractures and elevation! The world is looking beautifully broken! Excited for @frax release. I already have an itch page but I'm trying to make everything look good. #gamedev #indiedev

AI is here to stay and I'm glad some are using it as a big fuck you to big tech. I'm talking about Adobe, emulation, game remakes and gate keeping. AI is not the prettiest start with stolen tech but at least some people are using it as a big fuck you. And I can respect that. #ai #bigtech #linux

Cosmic desktop / System76 has just updated their policy on LLM generated PRs and it seems sane to me. For such critical core utils, it needs human maintainability #linux #cosmicdesktop

So basically I'm an AI engineer now. Because I prompt. Gotcha, linkedin update coming in hot 👍 #softwaredevelopment #meme

I cannot make my mind up for what games platform to launch on. The MOST obvious is going to be steam but distributing as a web game, support seems to be quite ass. But they have the biggest user base so...go figure. Right now, choices are poki, crazygames, steam, itch I think itch is obvious […]

A cup o coffee for the day helps keep me sane (and awake) #coffee #coding

During my weekend infra optimisations for @frax I compressed my spritesheets from 3.4mb to like 200kb and serve them over global cdn. Reduced bit rate of music from 1.4mb to like 200kb. Load only what's necessary in login/sign up screen all to bring loading times down from 2s to 500ms with 1.4mb […]

A little time post-work antiques. Changed the character creation instead of Hero A/B/C/D buttons, I've changed it to the preview of the head instead, its the little things! Follow @frax to keep up to date! #gamedev #indiedev

Normalise eating by yourself in peace. I think it is practically normalised in London at least haha

I have a minor cosmic term issue right now. TUIs dont do so well. Where there are borders, it doesnt render it consistently when there is text in between them. But overall with the topic of TUIs, it needs a lot of visual QA here with many popular apps Otherwise, Im continuing to use it as I […]

Okay but Cosmic Desktop is getting cleaner every day. Cosmic epoch 1.9 is out! #linux #cosmicdesktop

Doing some infra work to get faster loading times. Web games should be near instant. It doesnt matter if its an simple linear game or an MMORPG #gamedev #indiedev

I'm in Málaga, right now. Testing the user latency on my game @frax and it's not bad at all. Wild for a home server hosted in London! Very cool feeling. This must be the high that DevOps peeps sometimes get 🤣 #gamedev #devops

Something fucked up is going on with omarchy. How did even Alibaba invest in it. This is not a donation. This is truly fishy shit. #linux

I calculated a rough estimate cost of self hosting my mmorpg and we're looking at around £7 a month. I have backend server + frontend + database self-hosted. If I set up a donation and reach £84. My game runs sustainably for a year. If I'm able to raise £84. I have won. Small community like it […]

The best shader by far Im using in KAPLAY is being able to recolour one to another. Its so damn cool and allowed variety in EVERYTHING, items, player models etc #gamedev

Working on some customisation on character creation. Its always the little things to work on that makes it feel like your character Follow the games account and sign up with your email for updates: @frax #gamedev #mmorpg #idle

Just been doing some market research around the state of MMOs based on review comments and holy moly, what am I doing creating an MMO 😅 The main thing is, I want to tell a story, I want people to feel nostalgia, I want that cult, small community vibe. To reach that, I will push through Follow […]

**STOP OMARCHY: Boycott Tech's Far-Right Backers** "Protest against the Omarchy/Omacom Foundation and the tech companies and executives funding far-right open source." A quick run-down of how the people involved are authoritarians and/or bigots, why the amount of money should make us question […]

Im being recommended to just release the game since its web based and restrict progression after a certain point and get their sign up that way. "Call to Action" is the game itself The only issue is that I dont really want to open the flood gates this early 😅 my server is also hardly battle […]

RE: https://techhub.social/@beemdvp/117281141735234463 Even with such a small platform, I get way more engagement that's useful and meaningful. Appreciate it very much Fediverse! #fediverse

My mini pc had it's internet crap out. It's currently being used as a server. I added a self healing script. The fun of learning some DevOps haha. This about to be the most sustainable idle MMO launching haha 🤣 #gamedev #indiedev

Bleach needs to be remade in 4k. Please, some studio make it happen. PLEASE #anime

Web games have come so far and hardware only gets better year on year. Imo, it's the best time to launch a web based game. I'm not saying optimisation is no longer a problem but you can definitely get a demo out there without caring too much about performance and I say that gets dreamers an […]

Interesting, have game devs on the fediverse launched on playgama before? It seems like an interesting economic model, the more you earn, the more you take, encourages more adoption of your game https://playgama.com/developers #gamedev #indiedev

Im working on opening up a discord soon enough once I have all the tooling sorted out. I really want to ramp up with closed beta access as I feel its ready enough. Exciting times haha #gamedev

Omarchy is just pure larp with personal friends funding with a highly neurotic creator behind it. Im so glad I dont bother hopping on youtuber larp content and switching distros/DEs haha #linux

Early beginnings at getting sign ups for my game. Deeply considering just making this available to everyone and opening the flood gates haha. Idk maybe im just too excited about the game and its progress Follow @frax for more gameplay updates! #gamedev
