@COWCAT I am having some trouble playing co-op Brok on PC with a PS5 controller. It seems like it is trying to control both characters at the same time. When I switch the co-op character to action mode, both characters do it and one of them will jump around in a circle. The rightstick won't select emojis, when I hold L2 it does the random statement and when I release it plays the fart.

I was able to fix it by using DS4WIndows and disconnecting the USB so that Windows no longer recognized it.

@objectinspace That is strange, I recommend using Steam when using PS controllers on PC. It has better compatibility (if it's not a Steam version you can still add it in Steam to make it work)

Google Play Store does not apply regional pricing. I hadn't realized this before so I made changes.

BROK on mobile should now be more affordable in many countries!

I am so, so happy to share that Brok the Investi-gator from the absolutely amazing @COWCAT is now available on IOS, and yes, it's fully accessible there too. Not only can you connect a controller if you want, but there are accessible touch screen controls too. I completed the intro before posting this to confirm all of this. This is an absolutely incredible addition to the accessible games available on IOS. If you want to try it for yourself, you can play the first chapter for free! Give it a try if you're into hybrid point and click/beat'em up games. Ya know, because there are so many of those. :) Seriously though, Brok is great. Please check it out if you haven't.

@superblindman @objectinspace VO is the included screen reader on iOS? (I admit I didn't activate it to test so I'm not sure)

COWCAT,
@COWCAT@mastodon.social avatar

@objectinspace @superblindman I see, not too sure if I could implement this easily with GameMaker. I could add a line which recommends players to disable it before playing.

In an industry increasingly confused on the definition of "indie game"...

100% of the development and marketing money for BROK the InvestiGator came from my own pocket. Never got any public nor publisher funding, and proud of it 😘 Only sales of my games fund my future ones!

BROK the InvestiGator's updates never get attention from the gaming industry but I hope you can appreciate that I made...

➡️ The first "Punch & Click" 👊
➡️ The first adventure game fully accessible to blind players
➡️ The first multiplayer Point & Click adventure game (AFAIK)

iFixit it retroactively lowering iPhone repairability score because Apple introduced a software handshake when we trade a screen or a battery. because of course they did. The right to reparability should have stronger laws. https://www.ifixit.com/News/82493/we-are-retroactively-dropping-the-iphones-repairability-score-en

@djlink Absolutely horrendous practice...I hope the EU looks into this and forbids it ASAP.

I would argue best solution would be custom or a open-source engine, but for anyone looking for a quick commercial solution for 2D games, works on multi-platform, out of the box solution, go for GameMaker. It's paid but you'll get someone answering & fixing your support tickets. I'm saying this having actually filed multiple tickets with them.

COWCAT,
@COWCAT@mastodon.social avatar

@djlink Yeah, I'm satisfied with GameMaker. Sometimes they take long to reply, but I was always able to fix my issues eventually.

Being a user and watching Unity shoot themselves in the foot time and time again:

COWCAT,
@COWCAT@mastodon.social avatar

@NocturneGames You and me both! Dodged a bullet. When I think of some of the devs that made the switch from GameMaker to Unity, like the Fran Bow developers...

COWCAT,
@COWCAT@mastodon.social avatar

@NocturneGames Yeah. My biggest worry for my own company is my dependance to GameMaker. If they went under or made such bad business decision I'd be in trouble, I have a huge code base now and porting it to another engine would take like a full year at least.

COWCAT,
@COWCAT@mastodon.social avatar

@djlink @NocturneGames I don't really have time to start learning new engines, and in a few years the situation could have changed again. But I'm trying more and more to adapt my code base to be "engine independant", calling my own functions or using script files with my own format.
