Followers everywhere! I've created a special starter pack for those of us making games the old fashioned way. Please share everywhere and re-post it so more creators can be added and share the love for hand-drawn art-forms in the video game space. 🖌️ 🎨 🎮 😎 #gamedev #indiegamedev #noai #videogames

Scenery in games that absolutely blow me away:

I got a few different top-down movement approaches out of yesterday's research stream.

Let's start with: Godot's own tutorial. Instant acceleration and deceleration. This could be enough for many use cases. https://r.btdev.org/72 #Godot #GameDev

I think I've finally got a reasonable range of 8-way movement examples to work from. The more complicated I went, the less intuitive the movement felt.

There's definitely room for tweaks, but linear acceleration or seek-style steering behaviour is plenty for most use cases.

TIL that Rice Krispies are an integral part of physics.

Now that the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is out, I've updated my wiki article for getting Playstation Edge and PS5 controllers working on MacOS. I confirmed the fix that we used before works on the new 1.6 update. After you update you'll need to re-apply the fix. wiki.brianturchyn.ne... #StardewValley

Attempt 0 at implementing context steering behaviour. Needs a bit less Toyko Drift, and doesn't push away from the wall. That'll be next. #godotengine #gamedev

Me in November: "This Godot thing seems pretty cool, I should learn how to use it."
December: "I'm going to get into GameDev! This is so cool!"
January: "Oh fuck I'm in way over my head"

Looking forward to more Elden Ring for BT's Day Off, starting right now 👀

I started playing Elden Ring last week on stream. It's going to take some time to get used to the open world, but I can tell already I'm going to love this!

The fun continues tonight at 6:30pm CT on Twitch, including some changes to the stream schedule... 👀

This year's journal off to a good start

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Remember, progress and change looks different to everyone. It's ok to be exactly where you are and not to know what might come next.

You are worth celebrating exactly as you are now.

Hmm, links and embeds require more work to put in via API. I'll take a stab at that later. n8n, IFTTT, or Buffer will probably have integrations built before I care enough to do it myself 🤷

*taps mic* Hey is this thing on? (Can I automate a post using n8n so I can cross-post easily from Mastodon?)
