    No to share (yet...) but I do have a fun (?) tip o' the day:

    If you're using a TileMap, and there's even the slightest chance you might want to animate one of the tiles at some point in the future ever, make sure to prep the tiles in your sprite sheet vertically. Unique tiles top to bottom, frames left to right. The out-of-the-box tile animation functionality only allows for a columnar layout. Which I discovered the hard way. 🙃

    Quick Aseprite tip that I'm not sure if I shared before, but pressing CTRL+B on a selection will quickly create a brush of that selection. Great for quickly making patterns. ESC will return your brush back to normal.

    @saint11 Did not know this, thanks for sharing! I'm new to Aseprite (lots of pixel art on iPad with various apps) and the hardest part is absolutely the user interface. It buries so much powerful functionality!

    @saint11 Like I quickly learned Shift-H and Shift-V to flip horizontal/vertical, and to rotate 90/180 degrees…there's a submenu item with no obvious keyboard shortcut? 🥴

    Well, looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early. Apollo started crashing, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like it fixes the crashing, but no more Reddit access haha. Those folks are fun to the very end! 😛

    Question for folks - are there any good examples of indie game micro-publishers that fund and curate these sorts of “shorter games with worse graphics”? I'm thinking less of a grant program, more like a cassette tape label you'd find on Bandcamp.

    I know Sokpop is dipping their toe into this with their "Sokpop Takeover”. Anyone else out there?

    samf, to random
    @samf@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    I saw someone on the birdsite making a list of “shorter games with worse graphics” which lead off with Citizen Sleeper and Slay the Spire, which…no. That's not what that means. Not even close.

    These games took years to develop. They had PUBLISHERS. Like, these are great indie games! But not even in the ballpark of what this meme is describing.

    samf,
    @samf@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @aeva Yeah! I'm sick of all these massive-budget AAA games with insane development times like Duke Nukem Forever, give me smaller shorter games like Doom (2016)

    samf,
    @samf@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @aeva okay look, nintendo already had the BotW engine to start with so they just needed to add some new models and stuff

    like, i know blender, i could do that in a day or two

    come on

    oh! I just remembered that the MicroFreak got a firmware update that adds some kind of sampler engine :O!!! Gonna play with that tonight eat your heart out zelda

    @aeva Be careful moving patches/samples to the hardware! I almost overwrote a bunch of my own saved patches when trying to get some 5.0 patches uploaded. Back up everything early and often, as always. 🥴

    @aeva You're definitely smarter than me lol. I don't THINK I lost anything but still verifying. MIDI Control Center is a crappy app.

    Via @ianbetteridge, people seem to forget that there are four pronoun forms, not three, and they are not consistent between number/person/gender:

    • subjective
    • objective
    • possessive adjective
    • possessive pronoun

    I/me/my/mine
    We/us/our/ours
    You/you/your/yours
    She/her/her/hers
    He/him/his/his
    They/them/their/theirs

    This new contact form is missing the adjective form.

    samf,
    @samf@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @jsit Earnest question: is there a practical use-case for all 4 pronouns? Like would there be he/him/his/theirs or something? I haven't seen it before, but I'm also absolutely out of my depth here and looking to learn.

    Mike Pence is officially running for President. This will be the last time you hear about Mike Pence's presidential bid from me or anyone. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65813361

    samf,

    @seldo I'd love to see it but do you honestly think he has the guts to say that to Trump's face? Pence is the Joe Biden of Republicans, only without the charisma or backbone.
