Aspiring game dev. Terrible at social media. Actually just terrible at social. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Torn on some use of #AI for #gamedev... I don't like AI. But I haven't made progress on anything in several weeks because my own malfunctioning brain is getting in my way. Using AI let me start a functionality script and iterate on it until it did what I needed. But I still don't like AI. 🫤

The resonance cascade, but with homemade sounds.
This redesign was tricky - and it's funny how the rubber ball sound didn't need much modification.
What do you think about the result?
The gameplay footage is from Black Mesa.

My #gamedev motivation has been more or less dead, so I've been tinkering with something fangame-y for now. May or may not ever see light of day. Got some stuff together, but I dunno what engine to pick. Godot is what I want to work with for myself. Unity/Unreal could give me experience. Thoughts?

Participating in the Bigmode game jam has me rethinking how I'm doing my project. I learned so much. Definitely pretty burned out though. And yes, it's broken. I'll make a new upload for a fixed version in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev catballgames.itch.io/charge-cube-...

There. Have done the #DeleteFacebook. Their new rules allow for calling me property, and calling friends and family I have mentally ill. It's bullshit. Fuck Facebook.

Had a nice and much-needed rest over Christmas, then spent the last couple of days making some awesome progress! There's now two styles of enemies: ones that track you and ones that streak across the screen. Also, ground clutter that is chosen on map generation.

Hi #ScreenshotSaturday ! It's been a very slow week for personal reasons, so here's a scene of a shiny new tripping hazard. Watch your step! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Well, PC hardware upgrade is done. Not much of an upgrade, as the primary goal was to replace the ailing motherboard. However, computer does seem to be a bit snappier, so that's nice.

Post about the music you like listening to while working on your project.
We find Hollow Knight's soundtrack to be really fitting!

Well, not too much done this week, but those happen. Had other stuff going on. But, as it is indeed #ScreenshotSaturday I will show off my fixed landscape. No quick video this time, but my landscape doesn't look caught in a hurricane AND my generation is improved. Cool stuff! 😀

I think github copilot has a sense of humour today. It suggested this - utterly unhelpful, but it's okay. I feel that, too. Oh, well. No more autocomplete silliness in a few days. Can't really justify the cost after the trial.

I went from "cool, that works, but I hate HOW it works" to "wow that doesn't work at all wtf" and I just don't even know. XD

You ever just wonder if you've been sleep-coding? I swear this stuff worked yesterday, I haven't touched it, I was just double-checking the current state to keep working from. Agh! #gamedev

Yay a new CPU/motherboard soon! This motherboard is falling apart (almost literally - bluetooth doesn't work and the USB ports can be sketchy, and the M.2 slot might be questionable). It's not much of an upgrade but I'm okay with that. I just want it stable.
