I've been a @dailymaverick.co.za subscriber for years because I want to support journalism that isn't funded by a billionaire. But they're partnering with pro-AI companies, hosting AI workshops, using AI to do research, parroting AI investors, blind to the dark future they're helping to push. :(

So I'm currently dual booting Linux Mint after being a lifelong Windows user, and instead of doomscrolling I've been reading documentation, wikis, tutorials and figuring out whether to try and make Photoshop work. Krita is starting to look really good...

Check it out! This is super cool, being made by some of the people behind the awesome Terra Nil, and I really want this to get a chance to become a full game! They just need downloads to be able to prove that it can be a full project... 🥺

After three weeks in the prototyping oven, we've launched Dressmaker on itch! This is the most excited about a game that I've made that I've ever been and I don't think I've ever wanted a prototype to be a full game this much. I just hope enough of the rest of the world agrees. 😅

We've updated Dressmaker with a bunch of new things, like adding buttons and bows, viewing previously made dresses, more garments and fabrics and more! I'm making a push to get more downloads, because Free Lives is pointing at the "low" download count of 11k as not good enough to make the full game.

I think games like Cooking Mama and Venba indicate that there's a real opportunity to teach and simulate real, mechanical processes of life skills in a way that's concrete enough to transfer into learned knowledge. I think more fashion games should try sewing and patterning minigames for this.

Watching this YouTube video of @spudcatsyt.bsky.social playing Dressmaker made me want to draw this... 😅 (I don't know what they look like and could be totally off, but the image in my head needed to be released!)

A large, bearded man wearing a cap and a checkered shirt hunched over a small sewing machine with intense focus.

Making our first dress, designing it in the sketchbook, buying the right fabrics, laying out the pieces to be cut, attaching the pieces to the mannequin, sewing them together, made the dress and making another dress in Dressmaker by @techartjon.com youtu.be/60QneE51rnI

The waddle campaign has reached it's end!  With over 100 penguins adopted, you all have made a big difference. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to helping SANCCOB with this cause. Big shout out to 24 Bit Games who won a well deserved golden penguin award.

I watched an art demo by Dani Diez where the first few markings of his sketch already had me imagining what the final painting would look like. He ended up taking it in a very different direction, and I left wanting to draw the thing that I couldn't stop thinking about... 😶

Three children and a very nervous cat ride a mechanical stingray as they... uh... flee from responsibilities and head off on an adventure. The first child points a pencil forward menacingly, with a tie tied around his head. The second child calmly drinks a smoothie, his head protected by a colander. The third looks down at the view below in excitement.

This is a great thread @hillsguy.bsky.social, I'll add a bit more context here for anyone interested. Yes there's no fancy sim - it just uses a water interaction buffer as a target for the particle system rendering, so we could use the power of particle system we already have.

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2. Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)
