Currently making: open-world space trading role-playing game https://dither001.itch.io/rogue-souls
I got this drag-and-drop dice UI working. By 'working', I mean that everything is the correct size & place, the dice drag properly when you click them, and they stay where you 'drop' them. I can even store & retrieve the result of each die.
Now it needs some sfx...

I posted a devlog for my WIP game Rogue Souls this morning. Please pass it on! dither001.itch.io/rogue-souls/...
Devlog 24.46
Edit (12/2) : I completely forgot to mention the localization framework. It has been two weeks since my last post. Release Status : Let's get down to brass tacks--the release isn't ready yet. Partway...

You know what? I *do* like it here. And I've only been on Bluesky for a couple days.
Write a post about how you like it here and watch the weirdos come out.

And then watch nobody respond to them.

It’s fun.

The Shroud of Turin was debunked by contemporaneous (14th century) Christians. I would argue that this "Jesus" resembles a composite of two pieces of religious artwork from the 14th & 15th centuries by unrelated artists, separated from their subject matter by more than a millennium.
‼️Wait‼️

🤔 Who does this "Jesus" resemble❓️

Some of the #gamedev people I've been speaking to are confused at the idea of how it's possible to make games blind accessible. So, I'm going to be posting more examples of game accessibility! This is God of War being played blind by @rossminor.bsky.social

I spent several hours today implementing a drag-and-drop system for part of character creation. I'm going to let the player pick up the dice and assign them to results.

I want there to be interactive bits for character creation bc I want it to be enjoyable across multiple iterations~

#uspol if women sided with women to vote for women, we would outvote literally every other demographic. Men can't make up their minds whether they prefer Classic or Diet Fascism. We know we can do better. Let's do better.

I really like your main menu design and I'm curious if it was a deliberate decision to have your MC facing/slanted to the left.

If something seems off, maybe try mirroring the entire interface to have her face right instead? If you haven't already, i mean.

So i finished watching #arcane season 2. As i suspected, it was not as good as S1. It was gonna be hard no matter what, and it was STILL better than i expected.

Here's a screen cap of the career section of my WIP space trading game Rogue Souls.

You choose a "career trajectory" for each character in your crew, then in the prologue you play out how they end up where they are at the beginning of the game's campaign.

I guess i don't really expect much from this site, just hoping i can get back some of the hope that i invest by posting here.

I don't want another "too little, too late."

I've tried to stay sane in the intervening time by posting and interacting on Mastodon but it has long felt like 'a social for people who don't like to socialize.'

There are a handful of people there i interact with *ever* and an even smaller group of people i interact with semi-regularly.

Two years ago, i started development on an ambitious space trading game, "Rogue Souls." In the time since, I've grown a lot as a software engineer and game developer.

That's it. That's the post. #gamedev

Where do i even begin? I tried to get on Xitter a little less than a year before the Muskening and i invested a lot of energy promoting my work. Then i watched the social become more and more hateful. Will things be different here? Better? I think i can hope.
