Big news: Kitsune Tail's Steam Next Fest demo is live now! Go get it at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 and experience the first part of this queer furry love triangle wrapped in an SMB3 jacket

You should definitely check the options. There's a CRT shader in Kitsune Tails made by @JoshJers which isn't on by default (because people get upset by that kinda thing) but playing with it on is totally the recommended experience

And for those of you who have Steam Decks, we've verified it works on that, too! And there's a new reveal trailer, showing off some of the bosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBcm5fagUU

Just updated the #KitsuneTails next fest demo build on Steam, incorporating a lot of tweaks based on the feedback you gave us. Thank you for playing our demo and for taking the time to help us make it better!

I had been considering putting a couple more of my open source plugins on the UE marketplace, maybe juicing up the visual tooling a little for a Pro version and just making it easier for BP-only folks. In particular quite a few people seem to use SPUD so it would probably do OK.

But after the 5.4.0 shock I think I'll hold off, I don't need that stress 😬 Maybe I'll do it muuuuch later when UE5 is boring & not changing much so surprise breakage is less likely (& when cash reserves get lower 😬)

sinbad,
@sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

But hey for now if you'd like to support my expensive coffee habits, you might be interested in the plugin I have published, SUDS Pro, now supporting UE 5.4.

I'm British so it's very difficult for me to say this, but I think it's "quite good". I put a lot of effort into making it so, and almost burst a blood vessel when UE broke it for 6 weeks recently. So there's almost the full set of blood, sweat & tears in there. Don't worry, I wiped it. 🙃

Random game thought: I’ve been thinking about a game controller with three joysticks, but I can’t come up with a good enough reason to have the extra one. Two joysticks seems to cover everything, right? Have we reached peak game controller? What could we map to a third stick? The closest to a good reason I could think of would be radial menus, but you can easily do those with a modifier and one of the other sticks right?

@toerror@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@psychicparrot42 @bazkie The X52 controller became popular for elite for this reason - plus navigating the menus. You have hats on both the throttle and the stick, and surprisingly, it does become second nature to use them at the same time while performing a back to front upside down landing manoeuvre - something of a "Dawg, I heard you liked sticks?" thing.

Did you hear the story about how $400k worth of Playdates were misdelivered by FedEx to a construction site near our warehouse? And then someone just… stole them? Seriously.

Well, guess what got hastily dumped at a random restaurant this morning?

Welcome back stolen Playdates!

In the same way most of us say “goodbye” without realising it derives from “god be with ye”, maybe one day people will end conversations with “likensubscribe”

Wisdom: Create all asset editors by hand from scratch. Learn how to write music and then create composition software for writing it. Use your own asset file format backed by your own code generated reflection. Use only single file header dependencies. Rasterize in software. Draw every pixel one at a time. Make your own Aseprite. Emulate 1980's graphics cards. Write your own Steam. Grow your own transistors. Raise a family of players. Become as a rock o'er the island mountains.
