This utility of this makes zero sense until you remember that Unity’s business model is now ads and not gamedev. That some people can make real games with it is now an accidental byproduct of an elsewhere-directed effort.

ps: switch to #Godot ✌🏻

Every game needs an annoying tutorial character!

I'm not sold on my modeling, but it's nice to inject some more charm with each of these NPCs

The video game industry is already saturated with low effort slop as-is. Looks like we're gonna see more of that, at least until they inevitably price hike the generative features and squeeze every bit of profit they can out of people.

Sometimes I wish we would discover aliens purely because it would be such a shock to society that maybe we could fix a bunch of the shit that's wrong with it in the chaos that ensues

Playing with ideas regarding the magic/electrical paths you can draw. One is that if you make a circle (actually any closed path but whatever), you create an energy zone that can power various things, which is represented by the big sphere that gets spawned.

Made a quick "devlog" for my game on a whim. One take, no script, just some rambling on stuff and some gameplay footage. Enjoy! Please consider commenting or subscribing on Youtube if you want to follow progress as well, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Making a cave sub area for the level I'm working on. A year ago, I had no idea how to use vertex coloring or accomplish stuff like the white exit glow (it's not vertex colors, it's an OmniLight3D and a FogVolume).

You also draw magical electric lines on the ground now.

it’s just this comic over and over and over again, forever

Sometimes when I don't feel like working on something important (or I've just gotten something important done) I'll just mess around with numbers to a comical degree.

In this case...the time allowed between lasers shot from this enemy

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

Added a dialogue system + temporary voice sound effects. Still need to customize the dialog bubbles but I'm liking how it looks so far!

The addon I'm using is Dialogue Manager, though I added some code to handle the character voices and the line that points to the them.

Highly recommend giving this a watch. It gets right to the root of genAI discourse, which can be surprisingly (or perhaps not so surprisingly) complicated and nuanced with all sorts of nuances that muddy the main issue.

Starting to get a decent vibe from this level now. So far it's just the outdoor area, but I have a several cave entrances laid out, and am also considering an indoor section for the log cabin.

I should pull back for a while though and work on implementing other stuff like a dialog system.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

Lilypad puzzle solving! It was tough to make sure they function on changing water elevations, but it wasn't too bad.

You're not allowed to jump out of water (except against the shore), but that restriction actually allows for some interesting mechanics to play with.

Couldn't resist applying some basic textures to the level I'm making. I deliberately try to avoid it to not get caught up in details, but it is nice to see something that looks like a real platformer!

Just ignore the abrupt edges in level geometry...

Started making a real level. My goal is to have 10 major collectibles, with only some being collected by simply exploring.

The rest should have a unique challenge, but I want to organically find out what those should be by just playing in the level and imagining!

In new projects I like to import levels from old games sometimes, just to see what it feels like to run around somewhere more familiar. It never fails to entertain in a weird way.
