ok voxels are live, 16x16 size the same as the player. Now they have aiming recticals instead of using mouse so 2 players could play on one keyboard split screen style. voxels are way easier so good call! @monogame.net #gamedev #monogame

I hit a wall with #idlefarmer and took a break to work on another idea. The idea is a simple 2-4 player game where you spawn in a dirt world and have to find and destroy the other players. The only way to clear the terrain is by using weapons. inspired by worms/ leiro #gamedev #monogame

I procrastinated by building a Main Menu which of course led me to completely refactor my entire project to use a scene structure. Now I have a cool scene going on in the background. I also added a helpful little boxes that show context of where your mouse is. #monogame #gamedev #idlefarmer

actually I much prefer the items not disappearing when the workers are doing other actions. I think a little video game magic is ok if it looks good. #gamedev #monogame #idlefarmer

For fun i made the workers carry the items above their heads, then i increased their carry limit to 10 and sped up the crops. Looks cool but not sure what to do when they are doing other actions while holding items. but that's sort of the fun making it up as I go along #gamedev #monogame #idlefarmer

I used to get stuck at #gamedev whenever I hit a decision point—I’d stop everything to “think it through.” Lately, I’ve started just picking a solution and moving forward, knowing I can adjust later. Dev moves way faster and I often end up going in a different direction anyway #monogame #idlefarmer

Chickens have nests! The nest has 3 tiers which decide if eggs can incubate. The basic level holds 1 egg and the more advanced nests can hold 3. Just in case you don't want chickens laying eggs everywhere you can give them a spot to keep it organised! #gamedev #monogame #idlefarmer

Here is all the crops in the game now, I finally got multi tile crops working, eg crops that grow to be larger than 1 tile. Was a lot simpler than I envisioned! Next these chickens need a home! #monogame #idlefarmer #gamedev

I added job priorities to each job, each worker has their own priority order. Now you can make each worker focus on separate tasks. I also added 100 random names to ensure I Anthropomorphize them :P plus I added a follow cam for the active worker. it's been a busy day! #monogame #gamedev #idlefarmer

Finally I got my ui working. Ended up on a 5hr refactor to build an entire item database system so I can handle crops, placeable items and animal produce. Now you can buy more wells and chests to have somewhere closer to sell goods and refill your watering can :P #monogame #gamedev #idlefarmer

I added a chicken! the chicken will lay eggs I can sell, it may even mess up crops :P #monogame #gamedev #idlefarmer

Though once the crops progresses and grows to the next stage and dries out there is a chance a worker will approach from the side and we get to see another animation :P for testing I set the growth requirement to like 6 seconds. #monogame #idlefarmer

Finally got my animations working correctly and facing the correct way. But the problem is after the worker plants a crop, the job for watering the tile appears instantly which means the same worker picks it up. since they are standing on the tile already they always face up :D #monogame #idlefarmer

A change was merged yesterday, that gets the content pipeline working on M1/M2 Macs. So assuming it passes out internal testing, it should be out in the 3.8.3 release, due out in the next couple of weeks.

I managed to do something productive last night! I pushed a build to Apple for testing. And the certificate for push notifications had expired so I spent 2 hours learning to use a token which shouldn’t expire instead. Let me know if you want to play some yacht and test out my app! It’s async!

Now I just don’t have a clear goal. I need to fix the art in Yahtzee, and battleships and add some new games so it’s worthy to publish. But I just want to start a new game. Surely I should stick to it. How do you get over the polish hump? I want to publish it. Currently only in iOS dev for testers.
I lost motivation to work on my game these days. When I started I was hyper focused and in just a few days built an entire authentication backend, express api and a working turn based async Yahtzee game. Then I added battleships and liars dice. Now I can’t bring myself to do anything. 1/2

Also funny story at the start there was a chance the die would roll the same number so it wouldn’t actually roll. So I had to hard code in a minimum roll it performs using animation and then it tweens to the end result in a snappy quick way 😂
To sum up, the 3D feels nicer (to me, at least) because it has a reduced mental load vs. the 2D version. This isn't inherent to them being 2D or 3D, it's only that your 3D version here feels more immediately friendlier UX-wise than your 2D one, imo.

Spotlight: turn based Async Yacht Game I made for IOS. On IOS it actually reloads when it's your turn, or you get a notification but on windows its not working yet. I recorded myself playing in 2 windows so you get the gist
Pretty fun working on turn based async games with my own REST API. #gamedev

Spotlight: I really enjoyed Factorio so I wanted to recreate the inventory. So far I have made the hotbar/inventory, you can split, Move & Combine Stacks, Sort inventory, You can craft and drag items from the inventory. you can store items in chests. Plus it saves to a .dat file. Very fun. #gamedev

How many of you out there write games with code only? I really enjoyed making something in c++ and now am thinking of trying monogame. I have made like 50 games prototypes in unity so feel like I have a solid grasp of c#. What is everyone using apart from the big 3?

Another fun night of dev with C++ I added multiple enemies, difficulty settings, a basic AI, ship generation is based on the size of the planet and a tiny menu / options screen. C++ is super fun. next up to try and build it for ios and then try out opengl.
