Sometimes the procedural generation delivers these interesting shapes.

I tried to imagine how a city would develop around this gulf, but couldn't resist adding houses on the peninsulas, despite limited access to workplaces.

What would you do instead?

I wrote a post/tutorial on how to create responsive and expressive movement in Godot: https://nishchalb.github.io/posts/godot_building_better_movement/

With the release of Godot 4.2 one of the best new features is the addition of Blender style controls.

Meant to do a write up like this for years. Here's a list with commentary on 25 of my favorite films of all time.

@Fluttermind I am on a podcast called Eggplant ( @eggplantshow ) where we talk to other game developers and get a little deep into the nitty gritty of making games and talk about process and stuff. We've had a lot of very cool and interesting indie devs on in the past — I'd really love to have you on and talk to you about moonring. Is that the kind of thing you might be interested in?

Realizing it's been a while since I talked about a #GameDev thing, and it's just because I'm working on weird problems

Still making fun progress though! Finally figured out how to make a character movement component go FAST. Trying to make dodges feel better n stuff.

Moving a bird around my test environment and the strafing speed is maaaaybe a bit fast

Re-reading some game design books to figure out a way through my ongoing project reboot. I haven’t gotten along with most theory books, but these 3 continue to be invaluable. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in giving this silly trade a go.

Tell your story in the game... as game play.

My partner just knocked 32lbs of dirt off her car.

That weighted training outfit thing from anime? It's actually a real thing with cars, especially if you rally, heh.

HEY! Sorry to shout, but I'm live at twitch.tv/patbaer and in a couple minutes I'm going to be trying Mars First Logistics! Come hang out!

When I started making games I used a .txt file as a todo list, then I moved to Trello, after that I used Notion and now I'm back to .txt files. I crave simplicity.

reddog, 10 months ago to gamedev

Some days I feel like I've forgotten more linear algebra than I remember. Anybody in #gamedev recommend a good refresher / reference? Bonus points if it features simplifications for working in 2D space. I prefer book / written form but videos are good too.
