DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Watched a bunch of reaction videos where people who weren't aware of Mr Rogers... Watched a short video about him. I wish I could have met him. Unconditional goodness. Extreme Equinimity and kindness at all times. 020
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 13/01/2026My coffee machine started working again. There is hope for the world. 170
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 24/12/2025It's been a powerful process, though not always a pleasant one. It's kind of amazing how many people (most of us) go through life just fine accepting what nature and nurture has done to us. Thoughtfully creating yourself is something more people should do. 111
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 24/12/2025🎉🎄🕎🎁🕯️ Happy Holidays Everyone! I hope you find yourself in a place of Peace, and Happiness, and loved ones. If you're alone, remember that you're in good company. 130
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 19/12/2025There's one or two python courses that would otherwise be interesting... But with this shit show of a bundle you have to assume the content itself is also AI slop. 140
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Damn... I don't have a quest anymore but that looks amazing. 120
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Think I found it actually: www.d6learning.com/course/gamec...d6learning.comDesigning Cities for Video Games _Learn how to design memorable and believable cities for video games by an experienced game urbanist with a PhD in urban planning. 000
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 17/12/2025It sounds very interesting. Who is it designed for? (What kind of experience level and tools might someone want to have?) 100
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Shame I didn't see this in time. (schedule wouldn't have worked anyway) 140
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I'm traveling this week for work, but I'll try to remember to check it out when I get back! 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 16/12/2025I always seem to want to talk about what I'm doing. And if anyone notices, it goes from "Expression" to "Stewardship" I pressure myself to do it well, keep momentum, not lose the community, etc. A predictable path to burnout & I do it all the time Gotta allow myself to slowly be bad at things... 030
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Been doing a lot reflection this past yr Healing old things & noticing others for example: My weird need to turn every passion project into a monument of pressure tied to my very concept of identity As I work through changing that - I'm trying to remove that tendency from GameDev. 130
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Someday maybe, but for now I just need to design a surface to put a city on that is more interesting that a flat plane. 😀 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 15/12/2025On a related note... Do any of you #GameDev peeps know of an online tool for creating fictional elevation maps? I would be cool to play with something to get a terrain shape I like before trying to actually create a model. 032
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 15/12/2025I can relate my friend. Sounds like a good idea. Take some time and remember that you're doing it for you. 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Wanted: Suggestions for: Learning to make a terrain "base" model with nice drivable hills... That I can place my city buildings & streets on seamlessly... And be able to find/address the nearest street & maybe even individual lanes. #gameedev 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 23/11/2025That's awesome. I'm always amazed and envious of people who can lose themselves in the art of cooking. Not only is it impressive, it's a great life skill. 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Damn that's a great trailer! Looks legit scary - congrats!! 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 21/11/2025🤔 I don't watch live events or sports enough to justify the YouTube TV subscription... 010
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 18/11/2025What would be a more fun #gamedev reintroduction project? 🔹Godot game starter : game states, input mgmt, game saves, screen transitions... etc 🔹Blender tutorials : I need to get better here overall 141
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 13/11/2025So underneath all that tactical looking clothing you have fun socks. Good. 000
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 13/11/2025What if we ALL gave our $2,000 "tariff dividend" to the ACLU? A little bit of political Kung fu. search.app/RHVDTsearch.appTrump is 'committed' to $2,000 tariff dividend payments, White House saysPresident Donald Trump remains "committed" to sending each American a $2,000 dividend check to be distributed from tariff revenue. 010
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 12/11/2025I had to translate this because I recognized the word, souvenirs and Facebook. 😋 010
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 12/11/2025What platform is this so that I can avoid it forever? 110
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I'm in NYC for work this week Had a good time at a work event & it hit me that it's been awhile since I've been truly able to relax at such events... or anywhere. It was nice, hope it's a sign of progress, not just a one-off. Please enjoy this view of Bryant Park. 050
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 28/10/2025My Google ads Aura is nicely Halloweeny... but otherwise a bit basic. 010
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I wasn't going to say anything but a few days ago I opened Godot. I blocked out a single level for a one scene jam style game. Haven't made a character controller or anything else but... I opened Godot. gamedev but no "real" coding. 0120
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Day 144. I have re-acquired my iPad. Still no sign of the iPencil... 010
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Maybe make sure those content creators have access to your game for their holiday drop. 120
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Nearly forgot I had a blog! It needed an update due to all the non-updates happening. escape.bearblog.dev/what-happened/escape.bearblog.devWhat Happened."Some explanation, in the time capsule that is this site, should be given for the significant amount of time I've not been working on the game." 030
DougFTW • EƎ @dougftw.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Let your brain worry if you've spent a significant enough amount of time basking in it. ... Probably not. 110
