There's a bit on the whole "You're really efficient at x, but going max efficiency for more than 4 hours will drain you of your remaining energy for the day" Anyone else has that?

Anyone else ever had the situation where there's some VERY complicated math on part of your game code, and you wrote a guide on how it works And it's like... the 7th time you're reading this because DEAR GOD the math is terrifying Having the hardest time with uneven frame count animations #gamedev

And the shapes are done! Really think that a wrist moulinet fits pretty well a lightning-wielding character, and making the animation as fast as possible feels gud

Sharkos Zakos @drakosharko.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Have been working on the trailer for a while, but I'm back working on the animation of the characters for now And there's such a great satisfaction of being able to nerd about martial arts Not many other games I can justify animating a wrist moulinet because yes Anyways, here's today's progress!

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

As part of this challenge, here is Spark, the electric jester, using the Pico 8 palette :) #pixelart #pico8 #fanart #sparktheelectricjester

Pixel art of Spark the electric jester, standing, with a finger up sparking electricity. Around the 32 x 32 Spark sprite is a 64 x 64 frame that includes text above saying "SPARK" and text below saying "32 x 32" There is a checkerboard-patterned background of 16 x 16 pixel gray tiles.

The entire image uses the Pico 8 palette.

The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex

Hi eveyone, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted here (I think?). But I wanted to give you a fun challenge if you wanna join me: Making a character you like on a 32x32 canvas, that is the only limitation, here is a WIP of a Samus redesign I did on my style for the example!

Well... listing out why a fighting game is good is weird. At least, listing well enough for you to be able to know where to break the mold and still keep it fun. Probably for every game, but for fg's, you can't really control the skill ceiling, so it gets finnicky. #fgc #fightinggame

I feel like the antidote to imposter syndrome that no one talks about is treating yourself as an eternal student. It’s ok to not know what you’re doing! It’s ok to fail! Even if you lived forever there is still much to learn! The world is huge and beautiful and you are learning to be a part of it!

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Some routines are just so heavy in gamedev Doing the animations for the first fully functional prototype is taking a while, and while I know that I could do programming interchangeably, programming the mechanics doesn't take a third of what the animation takes But Im sooo cloooose 😓

I was working on it for a while but I never noticed How the frame timers for a fighting game are an absolute mess Two frame startups must be shown even if barely noticeable, "impact" frames need to last longer depending on the weight of the move So you end up with frames on 33 to 250ms. Its wild

Going for keyframes to hasten the last few moves for testing, another version of the grounded, two aerial versions and then one more special left, and then a big battery of coding to make it all work in game! Soon will be some UI, and then some smaller testing to see how the game feels
