I have more browser tabs open on my phone than I've ever had, and for some reason my phone is really happy about it :D

ExCUSE me? The gall to claim JSON as an Adobe file format on my computer

Found my dad's old copy of Lord of the Rings. It's from 1977!

The kind of book that when it's aged and tattered only improves

All right listen up consumers, let me break down how AI financing works for you. It's actually very simple:

See the money starts off from.. Wait

Wait one sec let me check something

For me it doesn't, no matter which way I spell it (my Windows uses british spelling) 🥲

Following up on SDF icons in #unity3d, @halisavakis.com has a great blog post about authoring them in Photoshop:

I would like to add to this that Photoshop now uses a different method for gradients by default (Smooth) and you should set the Method to Classic.

PSA: If you want to render an SDF texture using an Image component and Text Mesh Pro, you can!

You need to copy the SDF shader and make two small tweaks, which I've explained in a blog post here:

Here's me yeeting a cardboard box like my life depends on it and Unity reporting the impulse as (0, 0, 0)

Just finished Herdling! Wonderful game, really feels like a perilous journey with ups and downs. Thoroughly enjoyed it, can highly recommend picking it up!

Well done to @okomotive.ch for shaking things up; new IP, new genre. Can't wait to see what you'll do next 😄

Any anime fans out there?

I would like to extend my Switch 2's battery life by over an hour

I have a pair of scissors available for you

I once joked that in game dev it's easier to make a giant dragon spread out its wings and fly off than it is to crumple a piece of paper.

Well, joke's on me because I now had to implement crumpling a piece of paper.

I managed to crack it, here it is in action:

Finished Sword of the Sea!

Really beautiful game, also a real lesson in elegance; you can play it in an evening, and the platforming sections are streamlined and forgiving.

Can highly recommend playing it!

Also consider hiring SotS's very skilled environment artist @nat-the-dev.bsky.social

I'm playing Sword of the Sea right now and the environments are *amazing*

If you have a vacancy for an environment artist please consider hiring @nat-the-dev.bsky.social

Peak coziness

Immediately stopping what I'm doing and considering opening the window to let in the rain smell

Getting hit with a cool, cozy thunderstorm after some warm days got me like this

Here's a quick experiment in #unity3d for a speech bubble with a dynamic pointy bit leveraging SDF textures.

Here's an exercise routine that I recommend to game developers in 2025. Stay healthy 💪

Better pose maybe? Lemon hitting the ol'
🥺
July 2, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Thats a fun idea! Here's a dog of a friend of mine that I think is pretty cute, she's called Lemon

Not sure if the pose is inspiring enough 🤔

You know the meeting is important when you hit it with the ol'

Just finished Aכzw. Fantastic book, really enjoyed it.

Reminds me a lot of the movie Dune, which I really liked as well.
