Rocket jumping costs health, so the loop is climbing and maintaining health. Chaining jumps is naturally optimal since you maximize momentum for cost. Builds vary but mostly center around the balance of height-for-health

so I guess Kotaku runs some kinda scraper and I guess it has access to the Steam "library" assets that I thought only my 13 playtesters would ever see 😭 #indiedev #gamedev

made the jump from Arc to Zen browser today... everything feels soooo much faster and smoother. Didn't realize Arc had gotten so slow until now

vscode devs decided to hide all the important buttons behind another button??? why?

I try to be realistic about my abilities and back into the art style from there. my last project (3d) every model was a boxy shape -> catmull-clark subdivision -> solid colors cuz I can't be bothered to UV unwrap. Now that Ive learned more about UV mapping im doing low poly with pixel textures

edit @edits.games · 29/05/2026

devs clearly understand what people like about life sims and focused on making those aspects as fun as possible. house building is sick, for example

im 2 hours in, its buggy but there's so much to like about it.

update: I did it davinci resolve for video - still fumbling the controls but competent enough to chop up game footage aseprite for pixel art gimp for images figma for vector

that's amazing, I bult a very similar shore speaker setup for a project once. didnt think to connect it to the shoreline itself though, just had a big spline around the island. It works great!

lack of node IDs in #godot was one of the things pushing me back to Unity. so hyped to see that in 4.6 patch notes! node renamers rejoice 🎉
