That's actually really helpful. Tell your dad thanks for me!

Nothing cool like dark lights in Obra Dinn, just standard direct light casting. I think there was a period in the 2010's when some games used small dark lights for fake ambient shadows on characters. Not casting afaik though.

Thank you! I tried to set up a slightly ungated endgame where it was the player's choice to struggle through filling out the entire book. Less blame for me :)

Sure, as long as the mod doesn't contain any copyrighted stuff or imply that it's official/supported. Thanks for asking. How does the game feel in VR with this? Was always suspecting that a gently rocking boat is asking for trouble in VR and everything would need a rework.

Uh oh. Thanks for letting me know. Fart probs are top priority. Do you remember how this happened or if it's reproducible? Had a poke around the code and mess.lua:1943 is just the comment "-- too much dirt". So biting and topical, no choice but to crash.

Wait, she gave _you_ a presentation for _her_ birthday? Gonna run this idea by my kids.

Incredible work! A+ full marks. Especially love the directed graph of deaths. I had the game outputting something similar during development for debugging.

Layers, this one has. I'm assuming the album scam came first, then it trickled down to the wiki.

Just lovely. Thank you for the details!

Yeah I guess it's a TuneCore + Spotify specific scam. Thanks for checking.

020

Lucas Pope @dukope.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Now that’s weird because I’ve also talked to TuneCore support and they’ve pitched this as a Spotify problem. Thanks for the info, I’ll drag it up with them again.

Lucas Pope @dukope.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I didn’t write “Gosling Drives” and I have no idea who did. Why is it listed on my Spotify artist page you ask? Great question. If anyone knows what kind of scam this is, or why Spotify won’t remove it after multiple requests, I’m all ears.

It will take some serious effort to stay awake under those conditions. The soft music, droning voice. No chance.

That looks great! Bex nailed it.

Hah, I never noticed that :) Just a coincidence though! Wens' face is a random combination of features: dukope.com/devlogs/pape... Roderick was painted with this fellow as reference: 3909.co/dev/od/img/R...

Thanks! Sorry, no immediate plans for another platform but I'll think about it.

It's over 2.5 hours long so expect to get real damn sick of my voice.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week. For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018: youtu.be/90vqCKEEj3s

Holy woah I think that's the most needle action I'm indirectly responsible for. Result looks great and I hope it didn't hurt too much. Link me the book and I'll buy a few copies.

Made some small fixes to Moida Mansion and added a Japanese translation of the manual. 日本語の取扱説明書ができました。 dukope.itch.io/moida-mansion

Very cool! The world moved on quickly once dot matrix was feasible but I think there’s still a lot of space for creativity with segmented displays.

Lucas Pope @dukope.bsky.social · 02/11/2024

Thanks! The manual was thrown together at the last second but ended up being a lot of fun.

Lucas Pope @dukope.bsky.social · 01/11/2024

I made a small change to show “NEXT?” for a sec before starting the search. That’ll either make no difference, help a little, or confuse things further. A trifecta.

Throw another SOC MED account on the pile.

A blessed "did nothing, fixed anyways"! Thanks for the report :)
