Bug reports are the real Dwarf Fortress and you'll never convince me otherwise.

that feeling when you go back and rewrite some old code that you wrote before you knew what you know now. ☺️ this eye tracking shader now only updates when it absolutely, positively must. i should probably also make it disable processing when a certain distance from the camera... #godot

The highest levels of "leadership" in this country are just grabbing everything not nailed down and stuffing their pockets while their staff readies the lifeboats.

Hot damn. Their little heads move and track the player, and now landing works a lot smoother. Really pleased with how this behavior system is working out 😊 #godot #gamedev #indiedev

After reading a pile of engine source, I have unfortunately determined that this is the most reliable way to retrieve a list of all the inherited types for a particular Resource. >.< Posting this here just in case someone wants to point me at some API that is less cursed. #godot

Go get your armor folks. Covid is still nasty and you really don't want to roll dice on the long term downsides.

A very happy Dolly Parton Day to all who celebrate. Volunteering or donating to a charity or aid program of your choice would be a fitting way to celebrate! Joining a union is also great 💅

I feel like I've found a good UX pattern to roll with and I've been diving into the editor to figure out how to assemble a nice UI. This has been a continuous loop of, "damn. that's gonna be stupid hard to implement" followed by 15m of reading the code and "oh. easy." Godot is so very malleable.

Being from California, this made a surprising amount of sense to me. Hollow Mt Shasta and all.

If you've never seen the Wilkins and Wontkins ad campaign, they're delightfully unhinged.

i think i've got something figured out: behavioral steering is an _animation_ system and as a consequence, should be structured like one. ...and you know what that means? it's time to make yet another graph editor 😆

Well, I've tanked my perf, but damn if those seagulls don't look great ☺️ #gamdev #godot

Remember folks: don't pay for exposure. People die of exposure.

Awww yeah :) Smooth transfer of focus for the gulls which will circle the nearest character. I feel like I've got a handle on steering behaviors. The next part is going to be figuring out the state transitions. Or rather, the state *mixing*, is closer to Animation Tree than FSM. #gamedev #indiedev

Seriously, here's Optitex. Dressmaker is a game, but still gets pretty close to the actual workflows.

Save 10% on Dressmaker on Steam

This is a really cool game concept and I hope these devs do well. It's also wild to me that the height of pattern drafting software from the early 2000s is now a game mechanic. It's not Optitex, but it looks like fun! store.steampowered.com/app/4019220/...

Become a dressmaker! Choose fabric, cut out patterns, and sew them all together to satisfy (or sabotage!) townsfolk in this cozy crafting game inspired by real dressmaking.

ok. fine. maybe it's time to revisit procedural shore breaks.

forget the "mind horse." i've got a new favorite drawing prompt.

I have a list called "Artists I Admire" that I go to whenever I need to see a parade of talented and creative humans doing their thing. I would strongly suggest making such a list for yourself. It's worth it.

This weekend's progress: flocks of sheep and flocks of seagulls. The orca pod will be a cakewalk after these two. Going to have to start building out unit tests soon as I now have over a dozen steering behaviors to maintain. The orca pod will probably add a handful more. #gamedev #godot #indiedev

finally made it out to see this rusting folly. it reminded me of a crab.

still pretty rough, and lots to clean up, but this has most of the elements for the ground/flying behaviors. #gamedev #screenshotsunday

finding the correct boundaries in a steering behavior system is half the design challenge. the other half is getting the vector math to point in the correct direction 😅
