Boardgame designer, programmer, and jack of all trades. Working on 22 projects at once, which is probably 23 too many. By the way its 24 now.
Louder for people in the back, "Art has throughput and quality bars. Engineering has velocity, defect rates, build health. QA has coverage and escape rates. Production has burndowns and forecasts... The decision layer has status updates." www.productionalchemist.com/p/inever-see...

If enough people react or reply to this, I'll go back to making a vaguely strategic game with a 'theme' of magical battles. Tiles and cards and fancy meeples. AMA
Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x
Listen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.
WARNING! 🚨 Music created in OFFBEAT is a sacrifice to the dark lord himself. We tried to hide it but clearly not well enough, so we must come clean. Satan is an electronic music stan & we must appease him with sick beats (2 days to go until launch folks! x) store.steampowered.com/app/4468030/...
If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

She’s correct. Most QSRs are excellent at tracing. Especially for vegetables, which are the most variable element of their cost structure and food experience.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
Full world paint system using Godot's lightmap UVs to automatically work with any mesh in the scene. Godot doesn't actually support doing this so it got a little hacky at one point. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indiedev #indiegame
Colorsym looks cool! Is anyone I know involved in the project? 🎲✂️ colorsym.com

I've been struggling with a board game I've been working on. I took some time to write a series of mission statements to orient me. Independant of any particular design decision, and mostly invariant, they are helping me better evaluate each playtest. It's similar to design pillars in #gamedev. 🎲✂️
Side project adapting azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-... as a Godot plugin, first iteration starting to produce serviceable results but needs more work. #godot #godotplugin

My next game Danchi Days is releasing in October on Steam!! It's a slice of life adventure in the lineage of anti-RPGs (imagine MOON/Hamtaro/Chulip/Uki-Uki Carnival) but with more focus on story/exploration rather than puzzles. Look forward to it!

New YT vid exploring how to design expressive movement in a platformer! The idea is that deep movement comes from giving the player the freedom to be creative in how they move about an open space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QOE... #gamedev #devlog #gamedesign #godot

So, waterfalls work as elevators too! Part of the idea I had for the water movement mechanics. Here´s a bunch of them spawned with the image-generated level. #screenshotstaturday #godot #gamedev #scalie
Recently, I worked on the transition between maps! 🌥️ I wanted it to feel playful and cute, with these little cloud curtains and almost no loading time. What do you think? 😊❤️ #JRPG #Roguelike #IndieDev #IndieGame #Godot #DragonQuest #FireEmblem #Grandia #FinalFantasy #Pokemon #GameDev #PixelArt
Plonking away at the cute lil' ISP tycoon/sim game. The logical network map can now detect if you've created a ring and will display accordingly, and traffic failover is working nicely as well :) Solid lines are for fiber optics; dashed for fixed wireless backhaul. #tycoon #godot #isp #networking
1. Some progressives believe "the people" don't know the truth: since 2000, a Democratic president has handed off a pretty good or very good economy to a Republican, and that Republican has ruined it.
