Near as I can work out. This is close to 800 miles on hiking

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim Um.. Houston? it's *definitely* bigger than it was 5 minutes ago. And what does Time To Horizon mean?

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieGameDev #ImSim I've been stumbling around trying to find the 'game' while I experimented with lots of different systems. I came up with 'the plot' a few days ago and it's solidified the whole project. Pushing towards an early access release now.

I had 20 odd people follow me yesterday! Hello! I better give a status update: My life has been in a bit of a flux recently but is stabilising enough that I can get back to coding, and hopefully making videos again. Watch this space...

It just occurred to me: Package managers have become the modern equivalent of DLL hell. It's a tale as old as time: "Ug! That knot you make not work with my new spear! Change knot" "Lug! If I change knot, knot not work for Gug!" "Ug! Fuck Gug! Make me special knot!" "I make two knots."

At some point, all the 'T's migrated north. Some of them struggled to fit in, but we found them a home. London: "Bo'll of 'wa'er" Yorkshire: "t'bottle of t'water"

@kenney.nl Where do the weapons and shields come from in your Mini Dungeon pack? I can't find them in any of your packs? (Side note: I'm surprised you don't have a 'fantasy' weapon kit, but I suspect it's already on your never ending to do list!)

My main dev SSD has kaputted :-/ Everything is backed up, but it's still a pain :-/

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim Got a couple of hours of Duck Coding yesterday. What's Duck Coding? It's when you do loads of work under the hood (water) and nothing 'visibly' changes. It's usually prep work for things to come or refactoring existing code. This was a bit of both.

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim I've not been able to do any coding for a few days and I'm starting to twitch. I don't *think* I've got anything planned for today so I might have something to show a bit later.

I tend to only meet good people on here. Instead of having 'an algorythm' decide who I get to interact with depending on who's funding it. It's like the very earliest days of the internet. You naturally bump into similar folks. What goes around comes around I guess.

If Burnham doesn't win his by-election, what happens to him then? Can he still make a leadership challenge?

This AI voiced video about Yorkshire mispronounces practically *everything* :-( www.youtube.com/watch?v=89lh... The facts are true, the voice over is absolute pants.

Very sad to hear of the passing of John Blanche. His fantasy art and figure painting was formative to me and a massive influence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bl...

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

I was this days old when I discovered "Spartacus" was an actual, living person! I always assumed he was made up for Hollywood! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus

Must avoid temptation to play with swarms all day :-/

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim Sir... we're detecting *something* off the starboard engine. Correction! Many things! And they appear to be self organising! (BOIDS based flocking behaviour)

#Godot #GodotEngine #IndieDevLog #ImSim I'm working on growth systems (plants, etc) and combat today. So of course, I started by making a plant that grows blaster ammo!

Games For Crabs! It's an experimental weekend for game designers. It's in July, in Sheffield. It's gonna be weird and amazing! Check it out at gamesforcrabs.co.uk Then sign up if it sounds up your street. #gamedesign #gamesforcrabs Reposts appreciated. Tell your friends! Ask me questions!

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog TIL: If you prefix a Node derived class with Editor (e.g. class_name EditorFoo extends Node), that class is excluded from the Add Node Dialog. There's a PR to add an @hide_from_dialog annotation that does the same thing for any class. github.com/godotengine/...

Add `@hide_from_dialog` and `@suffix` annotations for GDScript classes by Lazy-Rabbit-2001 · Pull Request #100690 · godotengine/godot

Another alternative that closes: godotengine/godot-proposals#11238 Follows up #100135 For the discussion, see the proposal @hide_from_dialog allows you to hide a global script with a global type na...

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim Vendors WIP.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

If I were a con man, I'd set up a twitter account & make multiple predictions about upcoming events. I'd delete any "prediction" that didn't come true. My post history now just has lots of predictions that came true with a post date *before* the event. Then I'd hire myself out as a Predictionist.

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieDevLog #ImSim Blocking out a landing bay...

#IndieDevLog Hi to all my recent new followers! If you have an questions or thoughts about the stuff you see me making let me know! I've been a systems dev for a long time, but a game dev for only a few years and am always learning new things. What cool things are you working on?

#GodotEngine #Godot #IndieGameDev #ImSim You can't make an imsim without crawlspaces!

It's 30+ 'C in Sheffield, in May. I am not built for this. The UK is not built for this.
