Happy late birthday, I hope you had a great one!

grr...arg...Gobins are 8 pixels lower than the player, despite them looking to be the exact same y coordinate and using the same sprites and offsets. I have no idea where this discrepancy is coming from!

omfg I've just noticed my Minimap isn't actually centred on the Player, it's slightly off on both the x and y axis... #gameDev #bugs

Huh, I assumed this was by Pierre Gilhodes but it says otherwise in the corner.

This is true, you should give money to the people who make #Goblins.

I just had a quick google and this came up. It only works if you have both set to the same language, so maybe changing the language on it could help?

apple intelligence requires that mac and siri are set to the same language. currently, your mac is set to english (indian) and siri is set to english (united states)

Ok so GMS2 is completely borked on my PC now, which is weird since I didn't do anything to it. On laptop I can't do HTML5, I get this first screenshot when testing or exporting. In debug mode it works but still has that text.

[Cleans up code at end of tutorial] Urm, I don't think that's mean to happen

Balmut @balmut.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Following the tutorial I got an error, couldn't figure out what the issue was, but the next step was to remove that code and replace it so I kept going. No more error but the clock hands don't scale >:(

Balmut @balmut.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I'm going to keep doing this tutorial, but I wonder how much more I actually need to make one of those falling merge games. You need the clocks to have different sizes and to combine when they touch, making one get destroyed and the other resize? (probably destroy both and spawn a bigger one)

My first attempt at learing #godot, project one janky-ass clock! Kind of bothers me that you can't move the origin point of polygons directly, you have to move all the other points? That could get very annoying. Tutorial: catlikecoding.com/godot/introd...

Finally got around to updating my Item Pickup UI so it shows more than one item, it even stacks if the new item matches as the last! Then I made it better >:D #gameDev #indieDev #indieGames #goblins #pixelArt #gameMaker #rpg #farmingRPG #townBuilder

And I'm adding this because you just reminded me of it...

my mom refuses to watch the x files because david duchovny was her ta for a class and he apparently “lounged about in a whorish manner”

to clarify apparently he taught a class lying on his side on the desk and she said he looked like he was trying to be like that one nastassja kinski snake photo shoot

I have so many things to do before the month ends but I am tired and my eyes are itchy. Anyway, Farmer and Forester #Goblins now have hats to make them stand out. (obligatory slow laptop is slow reminder) #gameDev #pixelArt #townBuilder #farmingSim #rpg #farmingRPG #goblin #indieDev #fantasy

Oh dang, I'm sorry things aren't going great for you :( Honest answer? No idea! XD I'm working on it, and I think I've got all the main systems in place. Right now I'm cleaning up menus and working on fixes. It's going well, if slow. I hope things get better soon, please hang in their Astral!

WELL. Buymeacoffee.com can fuck off.

screenshot of an email from buymeacoffee stating you can now connect your account to ai bullshit.
"If you're anything like us, AI tools have quietly become part of your creative routine. Drafting posts, brainstorming ideas, planning your month. So we thought, why should your Buy Me a Coffee sit outside of all that?

Starting today, it doesn't.

MCP
You can now connect Buy Me a Coffee to your favorite AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. If you haven't come across MCP before, it's basically a bridge that lets AI tools securely see your account. Once you connect, just ask your AI assistant questions and it'll pull the real numbers, live from your page.

With the Buy Me a Coffee MCP, you can do things like:
"Who supported me this week?"
"How are my memberships doing?"
"How does this month's earnings compare to last month?"

Your AI assistant becomes your analytics dashboard, except you can just talk to it. Ask a question, get a real answer about your supporters, your members, and your earnings.

Setup takes about two minutes."

If the Goblins would behave for just 5 minutes that would be great! They have started phasing though objects and walls when leaving chairs T_T #gameDev #indieDev #indieGames

Think I found it! I didn't see it at first but I spotted something similar and clicked the Culture button which showed a much shorter list of images. Apparently it is from Lambayeque, Peru. collection-online.moa.ubc.ca/search/item?...

I couldnt get it to work with the XOR, but with + and using it for both the x and y (because tilesets) I was able to get it working quite nicely. I'm not sure if it's better than the random I still need a random roll for if to use a variant or not so I still have to do it in a second grid repeat 1/2

110

Balmut @balmut.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Also seems to be clumping...their probably shouldn't be that many of the same tile next to each other (also not every tile should be able to be variable anyway so my rng isn't working elsewhere!)
