I like how the metaverse didn't happen

Facebook evaporated billions of dollars on it and then just... nothing

Even autocorrect is like "that's not a word"

ghosttie,
@ghosttie@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@ClutchAbuse true

But from Facebook's point of view it was a huge investment that did not pay off at all

@ClutchAbuse yeah I don't see it taking off for the general public until it's as easy as putting on sunglasses

Been trying to figure out how to phrase the next era of my #GameDev / #IndieGame studio

If it's my partner and I making games, but she's a very silent artist partner and wants zero exposure, do I just roll the "single creator" angle?

It feels weird, but also a lot of single creator games sure have lots of contractors so shrug?

Like if I say "couple", EVERYONE gonna zero in on that. The angle they'll want is couple interviews. And, well. No.

It's all been downhill since they demoted Pluto from planetary status. Think about it.

@thisnorthernboy kind of looks like Lego to me, I think because of the grating on top and the glowy antenna things on the sides

I have a virus on my windows install, every now and then it pops up and windows anti virus recognises it, but only fights it off until the next attack. Process is called MoIso but search is crap so I gave up looking.

@ohmrun when antivirus detects it, it should say what it is

@ohmrun in Task Manager you can right click on the process and click "Open file location", you might be able to get more information from the executable

Is it overengineering using shaders to make this screen transition?

@stephann I didn't know if it's overengineering but it is cool

I have a weird desire for a piece of clockwork, small enough to fit in your pocket or hold in your hand, that vibrates strongly once a second. Like a pocket watch but without the clock face and with much stronger vibration.

I kind of want to hold it when I'm talking, to help remind me to slow down and enunciate.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to exist.

@MrBehemo I've wanted to write something to tick every second, tick louder every 10 seconds, louder at 30, louder at a minute etc. but I haven't actually done it yet

ghosttie, to gamedev
@ghosttie@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I spent a bunch of time trying out different wrong ways to place tiles isometrically before giving up and finding somewhere that told me how to do it. I don't actually understand what it's doing because it didn't explain it, but it works...

Performance is still awful.
The good news is that the Visual Studio diagnostic tools work with WASM, but the bad news is that it just says all the code's happening in internal methods so it's useless...

This is a pretty basic, "and what's the deal with airline food??" kinda observation, but

It's just been brought to my attention that a Chrome tab takes up a minimum of 24 to 28 MB of RAM*, even if it's looking at about:blank or an empty HTML page. There are good engineering reasons it might work this way but I am also thinking about how my first computer-shaped computer** had 4 MB of RAM and that was like, an OS plus sophisticated full apps. Later we upgraded to 8 MB RAM and that was a big deal

@mcc it has a copy of the JS engine per process, that takes up some space

I was otherwise occupied this weekend so I've only today been able to take a shot at adding isometric tiles.

It kind of works, in that I have displayed some tiles on the screen, but the whole offset-every-other-row thing with isometric is annoying

Also it turns out I only get about 12 FPS when I'm filling the screen with tiles, so I'll need to optimize that a lot somehow, which probably means learning some math 😬

Why does "Update and shut down" instead "Update and restart"?

How hard is it not to start a computer?

I used to worry I was a reply guy, so now I barely ever talk to anyone directly just in case. Thanks internet.

I’m a middle aged English bloke, a visitor from the past, so I find high fives awkward. I’ll go along with your high five - I won’t leave ya hangin’ no way that’d be rude - but inside I’ll be thinking the whole experience was a bit odd and I’ll be wondering how forced and awkward it might have looked on the outside.

Do you enjoy whack a mole type minigames in video games? I do, though I don't really know why, they're so stupidly simple. But I love getting a perfect run
