Hot take: if you need a template with more than 3-4 files (incl. .gitignore) and a command like `npm create` to get started with your JS “framework”, your JS “framework” sucks.

Had an idea in the shower last night, hacked together a few scripts, and although it's crude, I am happy to say that in-game editor access is quite achievable with Godot!

OKAY it's been a while but I'll give a small update! Got a few more things done like the area transitions, moving platforms and more! Sorry for the lack of updates. By the end of the month this should be looking quite different!

You may think you don't have strong opinions on coding practices until you meet someone who does it wrong.

I’m playing The Thaumaturge the last few days and it’s SO underrated, it’s Steam reviews are good but I think it deserved more publicity.

i wrote about how gamers see story and narrative as something that can be separated from the games themselves and how we reward stories that are legible in the language of books and movies

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Okay! Here's a VERY VERY early look at what I'm working on. It's a rage game (Getting Over It, Jump King, etc.) but with pinball physics. I started this about a week ago but realistically worked on it for 4 days due to vacation. Nothing here is final!

I rotoscope all the animations for my adventure games, which means mostly doing all my own stunts.

This is an old tech/style test for using camera motion to mask a scene load and smooth the transition.

So hear me out, what if there was a card game where you’d have to color the cards similar to how people paint miniatures 🤔

I find "loot" and "lut" (as in look-up table) being homophones super amusing.

My latest game idea: massively single player online solo RPG with bubble bobble & souls-like elements 🧐

My final map for my weird neon Ultima-alike, #Moonring. This is what I’m going to get printed onto cloth for fans of the game.
