I spent the past couple weeks tricking GameMaker Studio 1.4 into comprehending 3D for a shooter idea I had The actual game doesn't really exist yet, but the fact that I got stairs, overlapping platforms, and 3D hitscan working in a 2D engine fills me with immense amounts of pride

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

if your supposed skill is in ideation, and yet you can't think of a single way to make your game without AI generated VO? then you've got a pretty long way to go with your ideas if your only conception of "good" is "high fidelity/professional"

I love open world games, but I hate when the pesky story quests get in the way of me bumbling about, completing the "collect X of item Y" quests and beating all the one-off dungeons and combat arenas This is my genuine opinion

inviting my loved ones to a meeting where I unveil whether my upcoming game is a Parkour or a Menus calling it a genre reveal party

I think it finally clicked why working with RNG never quite felt right to me I've been treating all randomization like rolling dice and looking stuff up in tables, when there are so many differeny ways to approach it!! Shame on me for forgetting the grab bag. Shoulda made more falling block games

Been on video calls a lot lately, and with two screens it was a bit of a pain to fogure out where to put the window so it didn't obstruct anything important Anyway thanks to VDD and Sunshine I got my PS Vita to act as a third discord-only screen for my PC! Didn't think it could do that

Wrapped up a 10 day vacation with my foreign friends today! It felt really special to be a tour guide for a group of people I deeply cherish, and for my home town no less! Anyway, check out this name card made by one of the guests!! The artist asked to stay anonymous - they're secretive like that~

there are uses for AI that I'm fine with, but the tech feels so fundamentally rotten, not to mention responsible for cancerous growths all over our creative spaces and communication channels, that I feel gross even using it for innocuous things
