Been trying to figure out how to phrase the next era of my / 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.

@glassbottommeg I don’t think it’s a problem, Jeff’s the front man of a duo. Has been for 20 years.

If anyone wonders why I moved to Godot, it's probably because it's the only engine that's a first class citizen on Linux...

@petmac @sinbad we looked at Defold, but we all hate Lua though, so that was discarded immediately.

@sinbad that said, my finger is on the trigger to jump over. Reducing my bills and buying less hardware is on my mind a lot.

@sinbad 2umo is UE. Moving to Godot for teaching next year.

@petmac @sinbad the tooling's largely secondary to the fact I don't want to have to learn any more about it or teach it to anyone :D

@klord@toot.wales avatar

@sinbad it was a 1.5 year long conversation, deciding between UE and Godot. I know the students want UE, but we can't realistically get them up to speed an UG course, there's too much in the engine.

But we had to leave Unity. Even their summer projects were smashing into Unity blockers, and the quality of the student projects has been declining over the last few years.

We've done some work with Godot, but yeah, I've not (personally) done enough to verify that last mile.

@nivrig nah, think I'm passing on that, was too pricey for what it was. (I'd normally go purely for the social, but I'm skint)

@klord@toot.wales avatar

@nivrig enjoy! And say hello to everyone. I might be at the Zzap thing. Depends if Jeff's going to blag me in or not.

Nothing can defeat the floating heads of Kevin Toms.

Short sequence of a bonus level, definitely not in any way copying Space Harrier, with the floating heads of Kevin Toms as the boss fight...

Might set up an Etsy shop, but the only thing on sale is a canvas of the Jet Set Willy code sheet, pretending to be modern art.

I've had to stop playing Arkanoid pinball for now, I really like the look of the table but those outlanes are just so brutal and I have yet to work out a shoving strategy to defend them effectively. Imparting any kind of extra energy to the ball when it's near them just seems to make them eat the ball even faster haha

@klord@toot.wales avatar

@llamasoft_ox yeah I struggled with that. They’re vicious.
