I really should do some hunkering down and digging back into some dev work after this upcoming move.

Honest to god I've rebuilt the same Minimalist Movement FPS framework like 5 times and then just get dragged away into other stuff with the framework slowly getting closer to prod ready each time.

Ayo Game Dev/Industry moots if any of you are down and around PAX AU at any point this weekend give me a holla. Would love to catch up 😻 Here until Monday!

Bloodthief Demo just dropped.
Had the privilege of checking it out early.

Ever wanted a Movement Shooter that's 90% raw movement tech and momentum instead of AimLabs?

Neon White/Ultrakill/Quake fans. Here's a new toy.
Check it out. Quick example of one of six stages being played as Blarg intended.

normal games: "this is a keycard. it opens doors."

Metal Gear: "This is a P.A.N. card (Personal Area Network). The P.A.N. system passes small electrical currents through the user's salt content to emit a small field, allowing access through level 1 doors."

snake: "doors?"

Hey there ludicrously overpumped 3.4 trillion dollar tech company how you doin this morn-oh

Standard Day 1 antics 😎 Anyway back to beating that back half of the game I kinda just peaced out on

Cz it doesn't seem like Godot's official account has posted a dang thing on this site, for the #GameDev folk taking sanctuary here, the Beta 1 for Godot 4.2 just dropped and there is a good chunk of improvements, modifications and re-insertions across the board :)

Coming back from PAX has me in a weird state.

Ape half of my brain is telling me that I need to work more but the logic half tells me my 8 hour shift is over so no more SG today, so I just here like someone at an assembly line at a shut down factory thinking "no no, I need to be here" until I sleep

I don't know how this industry makes like 220 billion a year and outearns almost all other entertainment medias combined, but also if someone in games manages to keep a job for 5 years they're basically a unicorn because job stability somehow just doesn't really exist here

Once again thinking of 1999s Platformer/3rd Person Shooter/RPG/Turn Based MMA Fighter (yes really) Hybrid Heaven.

Wondrously peculiar game in which you plan which of your limbs you want to lvl up to hit harder and decide on a whim that you want to kick aliens specifically in the head to concussion.

How about some content huh?

Not necessarily my Top 25, but if you want a damn good feel for the type of games that continue to inspire everything I do to this day, here are a good chunk of them 😎

Drop yours fam. We may have similiar inspirations 😁 (Topsters 3 for the source of these)

Funniest attempted explanation I've ever seen.

"We pre-emptively removed our Terms of Service from GitHub because the content metrics weren't banging and no other reason".

Can't believe they're forcing Comms to spout this drivel.

Don't be a lamb lead right to the slaughter.
Their motive remains.

One of my fave things about 2023 discourse is I can go to a news channel's post just publishing a weekly weather forecast and there are people in there yelling about agendas and how they won't fall for it.

Big-Amanda-Jason-Of-10-News-First is cracking down on free interpretation of temperature, ay.

A massive message being sent to the benefit of an open-source future. Wew.

I guess I need to post something ay 🤭

Here's the last 3 things I've helped over the line. Let's chat! 😊
