🎂🎂🎂Happy 27th Birthday, Dreamcast!🎂🎂🎂 I'll never forget the depth of your game library and how wonderfully diverse and creative your peripherals were

An illustration of Sonic holding the Dreamcast Twin Sticks next to Ulala from Space Channel 5 Part 2 holding a Dreamcast controller with a Seaman microphone, with Beat from Jet Grind Radio behind them holding a fishing controller. They are all intertwined by the cords of their peripherals, while behind them is a giant Dreamcast glowing gently over them. In the background are floating Chao, Light Chao, and Dark Chao, Amigo from Samba de Amigo, and a Chu Chu and Kapu Kapu. Also Seaman looking upset at Ulala, maybe Ulala said some crass words that he didn't enjoy

Real quick, because times are what they are and pathways to education are more prohibitive than they’ve ever been, I want to talk to you about a model for secondary education which is tragically unknown in the US: work colleges. 🧵

Spell Name: Ablation Cast Type: Flotilla Like every spell, the player can customize the various attributes of Flotilla to alter the projectile speed, spawn rate, number of knives, and so on. This was a fun one to make. Just aim, then release the spell to unleash the knives. #gamedev #godot

Jinx spell complete. This one took a bit, as there are six different possible outcomes: - 3 Stars (fullscreen attack) - 3 Diamonds (healing) - 3 Skulls(enemy)(instant kill) - 3 Skulls(boss)(4x damage) - Fail to match (1x damage) - Exceed max # active targets (1 unavoidable damage) #godot #gamedev

Using a combination of LUTs and tweaks to world brightness, contrast, and saturation to handle independent, real-time transitions between weather events and time of day. Audio is dynamic, too. Gonna pull back a bit on the saturation during weather, but I'm pleased, overall. #godot #gamedev

Coruncopia's Almanacry spell system is one-of-a-kind, with lots of numbers and things to know. Thankfully, the nature goddess Irrender is here to help guide you through the nuances of this druidic power. She's invested in your success! #gamedev #godot

12 new sounds today to finish off the Call spell. Call allows the caster to move a sustained point of energy around the field. Powerful, though the caster is vulnerable while it is in use. Check the alt text for how this spell behaves differently when customized! #gamedev #godot

Since it's been a while since an update...audio is going well, but I also finalized the visuals for Scarlight, the beam spell. Powerful, but expensive. This spell is also compatible with the Charge Effect, allowing you to immediately cast at full power! Check the alt text to see what the stats do.

Playing Trails has me pining for the old days of creating JRPGs. The constructions of towns, the representation of cultures and regions, the transportive power of a story imbued within a 16x16 grid; the necessary restraint of crafting such a world and story so deliberately in this way…uwaaa ✨

Parents freshly divorced. Smaller house, smaller TV, no internet. A Dreamcast. A hand-me-down ThinkPad, two school transfers, low grades. No friends. Daft Punk’s Discovery album. 9/11. And Adult Swim. I can still remember looking forward to bedtime every night, no matter what else was going on.
