Programmer, here to chew bubble gum and do #gamedev for fun. And as you can see, I'm not chewing any gum. At the moment playing around with #Kotlin and #SDL3 making game engines in my free time.

Still lowkey sad that my discord never really worked out. I made it on the "high" from a well-received jam game few years ago, so I thought it might work, but I was wrong.

Think SMB3 needed more lesbians with fox ears? Kitsune Tails is 35% off: kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails Or help our queer studio survive the year by getting all our games bundled for $17.99 on itch (itch.io/s/202703/kit...) or $18.75 on Steam (store.steampowered.com/bundle/15673...) Bundled games 👇

seeing an uptick of artists defend the usage of ai for programming while still hating it for everything that they work in. if you don't see programming as an art then don't talk to me. i don't like you

Given that the AI industry does not care about the people's computer component the CPU, we should be figuring out software rendering in an even bigger way now

Saw an interesting piece of #gamedev software that would help me with a certain task, but its mandatory "go online every 30 days to do a license check" requirement killed it for me.

was literally just referencing this—the “who is having the most fun, the player, the designer, or the computer” question—earlier today. it’s such a core concern when making something heavily systemic or relies a lot on procgen

All the repeat-idea devs are chasing down sorting inventory or finding a needle in a haystack, yet the big indie release this week is a femme-coded cozy game that's (shocking!) an original idea

when i open a modern quake map made by some Q1 enthusiast, i see a beautiful world w/ great textures and sweet baked lighting when i open a "retro" "fps" "inspired" by quake, i see chunky pixels, primitive light and ugly 16x16 textures that's a #gamedev pet peeve of mine as of recently

Excellent bit
Given all the low-quality LLM-generated projects flooding r/commandline, it's valuable to know that POSIX provides a tool to review and modify code generated by LLMs, so I thought I'd bring this tool to the attention of this subreddit's members. In typical Unix fashion, the POSIX folks shortened "reviewing & modifying" to just two letters:

$ rm code.rs

It even has command-line options to recursively fix whole project-directories of LLM-generated code:

$ rm -rf project/

Handle it wisely, and I hope to see more use of it around here!

The thing about indie games is you can just like contact the dev and they'll read it. You don't need to leave a bad review and potentially tank their game, you can just reach out to them.

In the next version of the itch app you can... make your itch games show up in Steam 😅. This has been a long outstanding request that should make it easier to play your itch games without having to change apps on Steam Deck or Big Picture mode

decided for educational reasons to see how games of the old were made and seeing how you write color of the pixel directly into memory with few funny smol lines and assembler made me hate modern graphic APIs even more how did we go from DrawPixel(X,Y,Color) to 1500 LoC to draw a single triangle

wake up babe, new You Have Died (And Been Reincarnated As A Fox Girl) combat mockup just dropped with new player art by @rally.luckyraven.cc very happy with this one. might be the best GUI work i've ever done #GameDev #PixelArt 🎮
a kitsune with blue magic orbs and a tanto faces off against a giant snake set to a crunchy dithered 3D blobber dungeon background. at the top are 4 cards, with red, yellow and blue colors. the cards have one big icon indicating its type, and 2 small icons indicating the damage type (slashing, fire, holy, smashing) and associated stance (aggressive, balanced, guarded).

in the top left and below the enemy are widgets that have a stance icon, indicating the stances for the player and enemy, as well as a turn gauge where a turn can be taken when full. the larger bar for the enemy is red indicating HP, while for the player its blue indicating focus, which allows for drawing cards from the library to the player's deck when full.

under the top left widget are 4 icons representing melee attack, magic attack, defense, and run. below that on the left center is the players deck showing the number of cards remaining. below that in the bottom left are the player's HP, will (for willpower) and stress.

a pointing hand cursor points at the melee attack action icon. at the bottom of the screen is a darkened horizontal bar with a little "info" tag which says "Melee attack"

Agreed. If you don't think what you see is worth it at the price offered... don't buy it? While shady devs exist, they are rarely what the quoted person is describing. If you could see the current state of the game and you still paid for it in that state? Nobody deceived you. That's all on you.
