I've had this idea for a #startrek inspired dialogue-based game for a while now, and threw together a small mockup today. I haven't honed in on the details of the gameplay yet, but I think it might be kind of like Arkham Horror on the high level, with […]

1-bit pixel art mockup of a sci-fi game showing the deck of a starship with an officer in the back facing the camera and the captain's chair and back. The officer is saying: "A direct hit! The shields are down to 95%, captain." Below is a multiple choice dialogue with three options: - All power to the shields. - Evasive manouvers - Fire torpedoes

I'm trying to backup my old Windows drive to a USB drive using #linux but I keep running in to these errors. Is it possible that there's a character limit for path?

I know this particular file or folder isn't actually important but there might be some that are.
Error while copying. There was an error creating the folder “blob_storage” Error creating directory /run/mediafarzi/Expansion/Users/Random Potion/AppData/Roaming/Canva/blob_storage: No such file or directory

One of the more fun things I've done for the game lately, the layout for this #hellokitty parody poster (the art and the names were made by the artist)

It's one of those "is this a bit too much work for just one puzzle" kind of things, but I hope […]

I... did not know you could do this with C# these days.

I did these "classic book covers for gen z" a couple of years back and I don't think I've shared them here.

Testing a different art style for the #nesjam game after I learned to use gradients in #asesprite (a bit too much maybe 😅 )

I'm starting to be quite happy with my #blender3d to #nes art pipeline after a couple of hours of tinkering. The image still needs some work, but overall it's pretty fast.

I got fed up with the boring old fade to black battle transition in Spa of Destiny and decided to spend a couple of hours with #unity shader graph to cook up something slighltly more interesting. Whadaya think?

Also saw the NES jam is coming up and got a sudden inspiration tp try something Shadowgate-y (still not sure what to do with the background, I've gone through like five iterations and nothing looks good 😅 )

I don't get these political "opponents" who think someone who broke the law and was convicted should be able to keep on running for office. There is a reason why these laws exist - and didn't we just see with Trump what happens if they're not enforced?

I made traditional Finnish nakkikastike (wiener sauce) but with gochujang and bok choy and I’m not sure where to report this abomination or whether it offends Finns or Koreans more. It was quite tasty tho.

Can we please stop calling companies with millions in seed funding indies? There’s literally nothing independent about them. They start right off dependant on their investor overlords and their whims.

For decades (no kidding!) the reason I've thought I can't make a 3D game from scratch has been my inability to handle skinned meshes. I've dabbled at it a few times before without much success, but finally FINALLY I managed to write a c++ / assimp […]
