Game developer, software engineer, tea drinker, linux user.

I make games with #godot, play them at https://yngvarr.itch.io/. Or don't, I won't get mad. :)
Playtest shows that no matter how hard I try, people will always skip the tutorial. And then do the wrong thing. And then be confused. And quit.

The easiest way to create action lines in a shader is to take some noise and convert its UVs to polar coordinates 🙂

A week ago we participated in a local game jam and made a game about destroying surveillance drones that try to disguise as pigeons. It was very fun to make and the atmosphere of a local game jam was exactly what I needed to get the cogs rolling again. Check it out: yngvarr.itch.io/pigeons-aren...

After a lot of trial and error, it turns out THIS is how to scale a window and its contents by a fixed ratio in #Godot. It's these 3 lines of code. If you leave out any of these commands, you get the "wrong" images below.

Do not ask how long it took to figure this out.😅 #gamedev #code #programming

And another game jam is done! We made a game about making music out of loops for GMTK Game Jam. This may be the most ambitious of our games in terms of scope and, I believe, we handled it pretty well. 😅 Check it out! yngvarr.itch.io/loopmaster-2...

Yesterday we finished making our first game for Nokia 3310 Jam, a game jam where you're bound by the limitations of a very particular old phone. I loved the constraints, we could feel them empowering us! Go check it out: yngvarr.itch.io/coffee-to-go

Opened our old project and look at that! Every enemy has their own unique name. Do you do this too?

Don't tell them I told you, but my friends have released a puzzle game named Lore Restore. It's an obnoxiously polished cryptogram game, give it a try if you're into this kind of stuff.

TFW you wanted to make a trail for a ball, but misplaced some values and ended up with a cool Superman-esqe cape. 😎

Was about to work on another game, but got caught in Tens! again and added game stats. Because it's always nice to see how many games you've played so far and what is your highest score, isn't it?

Have you heard of Super Tic-Tac-Toe? It's a tic-tac-toe board where every cell is a tic-tac-toe board! Winning a small game makes a turn in the big one. And a couple more rules.

I made a small prototype to play with my wife. I didn't expect this much tactical depth from a tic-tac-toe game.

How did you pick your username?

I searched Wikipedia for names related to my real name. I wanted something simple, but ended up with the one that I liked the most. XD
How did you pick your username?

No joke, I stole mine from my Dad. Neither of us are named Mike, we are Michael. 🐝

Yogurt sounds very close to me real name Yegor

the Horse is just a funny thing to add because just yogurt is usually occupied already :D
