I recreated the Find Luigi / WANTED minigame so you can play it in a web-browser: itr13.github.io/findluigi/
Works on phone too!

#gamedev
The image is split in two. The top shows a Wanted poster with Luigi's face on it, 4 stars, and a Timer with 7 seconds left. The bottom shows a lot of Mario character faces, with Luigi hidden between them near the top center.

Here's what it got after 2.5 hours. At this point it's mostly just placing the tiniest circle possible on details.
A recreation of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh made entirely out of different shaped circles

Almost 10 years ago I did some videos where I used genetic algorithms to recreate an image using only circles, and I got curious what a web version would look like.

Here's the result running in real-time on the exact same 9-year old computer.

Try it yourself: itr13.github.io/circles/

Sometimes I feel like effort isn't enough to get good at something.

You can try pouring time and time into something, but if you're not actively learning from it then you'll take a lot longer to learn it. My biggest gripe with schools is that they just give you a presentation and some homework (..)

Anyone else going to Tokyo Game Show? We have a booth at 05-N08, but I'll mostly be walking around :)

Hoping to meet and talk with a lot of other developers! If there's any events happening in the evening to socialize at, please tell me!

I stacked all the generic plushies I could find at the office #gamedev
A lot of plushies stacked on top of each other. The plushies are 3 sharks, 1 dolphin, 1 orca, 1 yellow squid, 1 rat, 1 onigiri and a bunny-head-like thing. A lot of plushies stacked on top of each other, seen from above. Plushies are described in the previous image alt text.

We have a lot of marine animals in the office since we're working on @lifebelow.net #gamedev
Two medium sized blåhai plushies and one large one, a plastic bath shark, and two plastic figurines of sharks, one of which is a hammerhead shark.

Youtube just banned a link for crediting the music I used.

Presumably because it's called breaking copyright and some LLM thought that it promotes illegal activity.
The EU wants to use this technology to spy on you.

If you're a EU citizen, please contact your MEPs: fightchatcontrol.eu #chatcontrol
Music powered by BreakingCopyright written in white, followed by a url written in a harder to see gray. Afterwards there's a warning triangle Link Hidden in red, and Learn more in blue. A webpage explaining how this is the first warning for breaking Community Guidelines, and after this there will be a 3 strike system. A webpage explaining that the url https://breakingcopyright.com/ is against the harmful or dangerous content policy, and promotes illegal activities. They explain that the user can appeal if I think they've made a mistake.

Been messing around with Demon Bluff the past 3 days, so far I've made a mod to let you change the card art to whatever you want, a mod that adds more tags/labels, and a program that can solve the game based on the card statements.

Really fun game, much recommended :) #demonbluff

I know prettying unity's node graphs is a fool's errand, and I know having the up and down arrows hook to different points makes a lot of sense, but it still feels very wrong
A screenshot of Unity's Animator window. All the boxes are placed symmetrically and centered on two centerlines, but the two arrows going between two of the boxes is not centered, but slightly offset to different grid-lines

found out we had a waffle iron at the office yesterday so today i'm making waffles
Picture of a small kitchen with two plates of waffles and a waffle iron. One waffle has an absurd amount of sugar on it.

I'm visiting Japan and I just randomly met another game developer in a cafe (He had a GDC sticker on his laptop). Turns out he knows multiple Norwegian developers, this is such a small world it's crazy.
Photo of a spongecake-like slice of cake with white cream drawn as a line over the center, and a tiny leaf in the courner. It all lies on a white flower-shaped plate, next to a wine glass filled with reddish ice black tea and a small plastic bag with a wet napkin in it, a fork, and a straw. The napkin bag has a drawing of a bear drinking coffee saying "thank you", with hearts flying around it.

It's fun to install/update large steam games, because steam uses 100% of my CPU to do so, which causes my computer to black out multiple times during the process and halts anything else I'm doing.

Listening to music creates a really fun distortion & glitch effect, and videos skip back and forth.
A screenshot of task manager showing the CPU utilization being at 99%

Just saw somebody use AI art for their steam thumbnail, and the same art just stretched to fit the different resolution everywhere else on their steam-page...

Do people not notice how bad that looks? Do they seriously think people will see that among other games and feel like playing it?

Just overheard somebody telling their children he thought he was at the wrong stop, so I pointed him in the right direction.

Then he managed to walk two completely different directions instead, before one of his kids heard me yelling and they finally found the street I pointed towards.

A sized up version of the comic inside the original comic with one panel changed. In the comic, the first panel is of someone waking up with the sun outside the window, the second panel is of them walking through the grass with a picnic basket waving to another person walking the other direction, the third panel is of them sitting have a picnic with their friend, and the fourth panel is of them sleeping happily with the moon outside the window.

The demo for Life Below is out on Steam Next Fest now!

It's an underwater city builder, but instead of buildings you build Corals! So it's a coral reef builder!

An screenshot of an underwater reef filled with corals and wildlife. There's a slight hint of algae on all the corals. In the image you can see a turtle, a dolphin, a lot of clown fish, and what looks like the shadow of a hammer shark. There are clams, sea anemones, and a lot of corals I don't know the name of.
