mario has 5 "sensor pixels" used for physics... his feet pixels check for solid ground to land on, of course. the side pixels check for walls, and eject him outward. the head pixel checks for bonking against a ceiling. if his head misses a block but his side enters it, he gets nudged sideways

NEW GUIDES COMING OUT REALLY SOON!! stay tuned!!! Tell your friends!! Tell your dogs!!! Tell me!!! #Godot #GameDev #Indie #IndieDev #Tween #Ui

We're not in this list but we should be ! Our games are made by hand, not by prompt. Every inch is hand-crafted, every moment hand-animated, and every pixel hand-painted. Games are art, and our art is a labor of love.

I was asked about a small breakdown for the 3D anime ramen and realized my breakdown thread was on the cursed site from which I deleted my account 😅 So I'm gonna post a small 🧵 here

I hope something good happens to you today! ✨

What you're seeing here is a new prototype #homebrew platformer engine for the #Sega #MegaDrive developed by "RheoGamer" The demo is using #SuperMario assets as placeholders for now, but it clearly shows a quite solid & capable engine in the workings #Genesis #retrogamer #Mario #Nintendo #gamedev

Can you lovely lot send my way the best #PS1 - #PSX artists you know that might be looking for work? (Generally looking for more crash bandicoot/Spyro looking stuff over photo based/Horror works) It's for a thing 👀 #gamedev #gameart

GMTK Jam was this weekend! I didn't get to lead a game, but I was able to do some modeling and shaders for a friend's - Ducking the Rules. finite-reflection.itch.io/ducking-the-... A bunch of rules show up and you need to make sure you follow them! Or don't! Also, eat lots of bread. #GMTKJam

In the 2 years since I quit Rockstar, me and my friends have shipped an indie game (Void Sols), released a demo (Mouseward), and are putting the finishing touches on our hobby project (Planet Jellham) Really puts into perspective how mismanaged AAA games are, things don't have to be this painful.

To celebrate the rerelease I'm going to post some videos from early development! This is the earliest recorded footage with just the controls / movement idea for mobile

Really suggest reading the whole thing, they do a great job at discussing the externalities with nuance blog.codeberg.org/protecting-o...

I thought this was a pretty interesting take from Codeberg's announcement of their anti-LLM policy They argue that many developers using LLMs are essentially heaven-banning themselves where they don't realize they're developing for a nonexistent community

My first Blender speedart process video is now up on youtube shorts! Give it a watch and let me know if you want to see more longform videos like this. youtube.com/shorts/FbsJ1... #lowpoly #lowpolyart #characterart #retro3d #blender3d #pikmin

There's a picture of my actual IRL face hidden somewhere in one of the articles on Kotaku. Which is interesting for a game dev who has never made anything reviewed by Kotaku lol

Okay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is… What is your weirdest actual accomplishment? Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?

POINPY IS BACK! 🎉 And now it's FREE! No ads, no paid unlocks, just the full game. There's a tip option if you feel like it 😉 Available NOW on iOS and Android!

I used to give workshops on art & animation fundamentals at a university, but the workshop that students actually found the most useful by far was one where I taught people how to set small, actionable goals so they could decide on a direction they wanted to go in and improve on their own. [1/9]

This is like finding lost tresure! Without a doubt, this is the cleanest direct-captured footage we've ever seen of the unreleased "Twelve Tales: #Conker 64" I still hold out hope that one day, @rare.co.uk will release the original playable #N64 builds of this game #LostMedia #retrogaming #gaming

My approach on a 2D face rig. A Thread.🧵 (╹ڡ╹ ) #art #techart #blender3d #indiedev

Ok ok I know Xbox sucks but I gotta gush for a second BLINX THE CAT RERELEASE?? I might just need to buy a copy. I probably never mentioned this story but I actually consulted a lawyer once to see if I could buy the Blinx IP. He said no.

Decided to make an intro post for the low rolling clouds effect first that explains how to make a local volume fog cube, simple but effective You can put the camera inside without losing the density :) #gamedev #unity3d

Okay, actual footage. Tons more anims for Ant Mech too. A Stage Entry, 2 types of jumps, landings, a walk cycle, and other unimplemented stuff like dashing, running, air attacks, etc. Also reimplemented the Blender shaders and threw together a test environment. CC @mechanicalblue.bsky.social

If I haven't told you recently, you're doing a good job. You're surviving in a world that at best doesn't care, and at worst wants to squeeze you dry and dispose of the husk. You're trying your best and being kind to others. You're inproving day by day, and finding moments for joy where you can.

Okay, big new plan. I'm gonna take this Beat 'em Up framework and make a game with it. What game? Well, every year I do the Swordtember art challenge. Over the years I've made, like, at least 80 sword models and 60 fully rigged characters. So I'm going to take those and make a Swordtember game.

harada is so fucking funny dude

"I'll just pull together a fully fledged beat 'em up framework from scratch so I can show off these animations, that shouldn't be too hard!" - me, a fool, 4 days ago

WIP of a pinball project I've been hammering at for a while. Finally got most of the head and arm stuff in sync in to make it feel like a real creature. Reminiscent of a certain streamer. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #bignosebuggy
