You've awakened into a nightmarish world after a fall that should have claimed your life. Surrounded by strangers trapped in their own minds, you all must escape in 12 hours—or remain trapped forever.
If you like Sucker for Love, Persona 3, or Monogatari, you'll love this ✨️

Additional GDC tips:
- EAT. BREAKFAST.
- The after-lunch lie-down. This is THE strat. Go back to your hotel room for a bit. Charge your phone. Relax in the quiet. It'll help you power through the second half of the day.
- I don't drink in general, but I'm serious: consider not drinking at GDC.

- Never leave your drink unattended. If you do, throw it out, get a new one.
- If someone is being weird, SAY SO. “I don’t think this is appropriate for a professional conference.” 95% will back off.
- Buddy system esp. after dark!!! Don’t leave a friend alone!!!!
- IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS

Been heads down working on projects and then GDC, but I'll post more updates soon!
I have been building a locomotion system for UE 5.4 based on character physics and velocity. This past week, I redid the BotW climbing system and am trying to get that to integrate.

At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco today, members of the United Video Game Workers union marched through the conference halls, with a mission to “build large-scale education campaigns about labor organizing in the video game industry.”

I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.
TWENTY.
As in, they call that getting slammed.
So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

Okay, so. Hi. I am back!
I apologize for disappearing. It's going to sound very silly, but the amount of followers overwhelmed me at first and I didn't know what to do. (I'm kind of... extremely shy until I get comfortable. Sorry about that.)
Going to try and mute those notifys

I'm remembering the stories my parents and my grandparents told me of what they did when they went through a legit dictatorship in South Korea back in the 80s and the protests that took place to resist. I am now seeing the very real possibility that we must do the same.

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible

I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

I'm wondering what might be more interesting:
Would it be cool it be allowed to be a vampire potentially and glide off high places to do assassination attacks?
Perhaps different races start with different abilities or weapons?

Alright, current project right now while learning and possibly more is bloodborne/souls-like inspired by netflix Castlevania and Twilight Princess because I am nothing if not predictable.
The most intimidating part of this is figuring out how to mimic the threaded cane. It's my favorite weapon.

Guess I need to learn version control now that I'm actually making progress, haha.
It's been nice to get to actually do game dev again, though I'll need to look for animations now. Currently making baby's first combat system.from scratch.
