I work in the front office of my local high school and run after school Gaming Club, Game Dev Team, and Esports (MOSEF)

In my free time, I practice making small games and prototypes with Godot 4 and tinker on a Godot 2.1 fork for the OUYA

I've published games on OUYA, Wii U, N3DS, & itch #GameDev

The new Atari controller looks pretty cool. I'd love to design a game around this thing.

Starting the OUYA Winter Game Jam dev with @bherdm.dev this week! We’re aiming to make a trading card game/dating sim. Both new genres for us! Started our research by playing Hearthstone then sitting down at the coffee table for some Pokémon TCG.

Took a break from game dev this weekend to convert this mini into a USB-C Blu-ray drive. It was a fun little project and I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

Gauging interest: Ouya Game Jam. Would you join?

I can help with the ancient pipeline set up for Unity and Godot and can test deploy if you don’t have a console.

Tomorrow I'm running a one-off Godot lesson to students of varying skill levels. I made this YT playlist to fill in gaps and help them finish if we're short on time.

The series is <25 minutes & aims to get new users to results

Comments off on YT, feedback welcome here!

Kind of a silly one but I want to make game dev starter packs that cater to finding people with similar lifestyle choices and interests.

So this one's for cat owners who make games! Tell me your role as a dev and post a pic of your cat if you wanna join!

So they way I did it, I blanked the face of the model, and made 4 additional objects (2 eyes, mouth, "face area") so by default it's blank. Then for each face object, they read from 3 textures and the code assigns an expression to each area. So for "Happy" the code knows to shift the texture.

I'm learning to use custom resources in Godot by building an inventory system.

I credit Godotneers video on data models for most of the tech youtu.be/4vAkTHeoORk?...

Thanks to @kenney.bsky.social for the assets so I can focus on mechanics

I think most people have already heard of this by now, but if you haven't-
MIT offers a LOT of courses for free at ocw.mit.edu. You can also access courses from Harvard (and many other Universities) through www.edx.org for free, although most are time constrained.
There are tons of game dev courses!
