The irony of only 'Large UI' not honouring the 'Large UI' setting. Fixed now, of course

#Accessibility
A menu from a game showing the 'Large UI' option selected and that being the only text label that isn't an enlarged font

Picking up a (very) early prototype on an F-Zero type race concept.

There's a fancy buoyancy / wave simulation under the hood keeping the "car" from touching the ground so when it touches other cars, objects etc. it should behave more like a hover car ✨

Playing with #MagicaVoxel again! This is what happens when I'm enthusiastic about something and have a little free time on a Saturday
A voxel imagining of the Quest Markers logo. The basic logo is 'QM' and 'Quest Markers' in a light teal, pixelated font on a dark blue background with gamepad motifs on the large Q and M. I've raised the lettering as voxels and turned on shadows then displayed the result at an angle

So excited for this!!

We'll be chatting about @archangelsoftworks.co.uk's game dev journey, prototyping, art direction, the difference between being a solo dev and being the "captain of a freelance ship," and much more.

I'm on a #podcast, a good one, and I'm really excited about it :D

We'll be covering indie dev in general, working with collaborators and the upcoming #HighwayNoir

10am Pacific Time is 6pm GMT for my fellow Brits. And I'll be taking audience questions #JustSaying :)

That's better! The objectives panel in #HighwayNoir was too wordy, to be honest. Now I've used graphics to show information at a glance with minimal text. Don't read while driving, peeps

I also thought that the PIT zone needed to be a little more descriptive

#IndieGame #IndieDev #UI #UX
A driving game in black and white with splashes of colour, such as the player car in green, tail lights in red and police lights in blue. The player is being pursued by a helicopter and police cars. UI elements show distance covered as a progress bar, number of police pursuing as star shaped pips and a PIT zone for an instant car takedown

As much as this goes against the grain for me, it *is* #WishlistWednesday and there *is* a #HighwayNoir demo coming for #NextFest...

So, umm, wishlist Highway Noir if it looks like fun? 👉👈

I came back to my low vision mode as I approach the release of #HighwayNoir. Somehow I made it almost cel shaded but it does cut back on visual noise. Subtitles, tone tags, one-click start, speed slider and 'story so far' are all there. UI options are in progress

#IndieDev #Accessibility
A driving game featuring a police chase in black and white with splashes of colour such as the player car in green and tail lights in red. The scene is dark overall with patches of road lit by streetlights and headlamps A driving game featuring a police chase in black and white with splashes of colour such as the player car in green. In universe lights have been removed and replaced with a very dark background and a much lighter road. Traffic is blacw with a white outline, opponents are red and the player car is slightly luminous

Based on some feedback, Godscrown's Open Collective now has contribution tiers along side a custom amount!

Along with that, I want to make sure everyone who donates is credited in game as well! Once we start nearing completion I'll send out a form so that you may be credited as you wish.

I had no idea until recently that 'fortnight' and 'penultimate' are quaint Britishisms

Fortnight: two weeks - "it took me about a fortnight to finish my book"

Penultimate: second to last - "the penultimate episode was actually better than the finale"

Imagine Silence Of The Lambs and 24 had a baby, and that baby watched so many heist movies growing up that they now can't make a cup of tea with quadruple crossing someone

That's The Blacklist

While I appreciate browsers and search engines that allow me to turn off AI features, are there are any that don't embarass themselves with that nonsense in the first place?

If you like mining and crafting but (for whatever reason) can't/don't want to play the game usually associated with such activities this is impressing me so far. If you install Luanti and then install VoxeLibre within that you'll have a good time

You can already play NOKOMA on Android and iOS... but I'm really looking forward to the full screen supreme version! It's worth a wishlist at the very least :)

This would make a good shout out for today!

Grim does friendly, relaxed and very enjoyable streams of (usually) slightly retro games

He holds the glitchless Mortal Shell speed run record, made the splendid Curtains The Clown (store.steampowered.com/app/3766820/...) and is a generally great guy
