Ahh, well, there’s your problem

Miyazaki-san, you’ve done it again!

Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin VideoGames. You know that new Character-Driven Detective Game with Chess-lite Combat you're looking for? Well, #WishlistWednesday this! #GameDev #IndieDev

Not to only ever post the same thing over and over again, but I acidentally turned up the fear jiggle for threatened pieces too high... #screenshotSaturday #indieDev #gameDev

Gone, but never forgotten. 9 years have felt like 90, every day I wonder how I’m meant to go on without him

Can I interested you in a quick-deploy tactical egg?

Freddie Gilbraith @gilbraith.bonsai.li · 01/03/2025

Total ripoff, tastes like Koopa the Quick

A pathetic operating system for bed wetting diaper babies. A full 16 minutes of this windows build was just resizing images

Got a special video from Sweet Pill for being their top 0.05% ultimate special good boy

Probably going to be thinking about this outfit on and off for the next 5 years

Another kinda interesting gamedev update: The difference in difficulty between AI levels was too sudden, so I'm looking for ways to make the progression smoother. This graph shows the ranked difficulties of our new AIs and it's looking much smoother already!

Truly unhinged first run on Balatro mobile

Freddie Gilbraith @gilbraith.bonsai.li · 25/09/2024

Interesting bit of game dev today: I wanted to see which was more important: AI search depth or AI evaluation quality. I ran 1000s of games, and it seems that (at least right now) our evaluation function can't ever beat AIs running for a greater depth

48 points is the number you’ve earned! Those stickers you purchased were valued at 48 points, which now belong to you! Thanks for purchasing 48 points worth of stickers! Hai guadagnato 48 punti da quell'acquisto di adesivi

Very cool that Italy have a second toilet with a plug, so I can save a little bit of piss for later

Just realised that Baki Hamna season 2 came out. It’s fucking hilarious, I like it much for than JJBA, particularly that there’s no “Magic” it just always boils down to “yeah, they’re just that strong”

Anime recommendation: Rewatched “Sk8 the Infinity” yesterday, genuinely so much fun. It’s from the writer of FREE and is similar, but a bit more OTT

Thanks for putting this thread together! We're making a Narative Focused Detective Game with Chess-like combat; put a demo out a few months ago and we're hard at work on the full version littlebonsai.co.uk/tkid

Still nothing much to post for screenshot Saturday, but my Citizen Sleeper vinyl arrived and she’s a beaut

Still deep in the weed rewriting out Chess AI, but 1 upshot is that I've also had to rewrite our Chess Rendering too. Better performance and more flexable visuals. Enjoy for #ScreenshotSaturday GIF: cdn.bonsai.li/tkid/2024-06-15-chess-animation/animation.webm #GameDev

Been watching Devil’s Plan, a South Korean Psychological Game Show, and it’s probably the best of its kind I’ve ever seen. Really inventive challenges, high production design, and great contestants!

Getting the demo out (store.steampowered.com/app/2312120/...) ended up really taking a toll on my wrists, so I’m trying to dedicate 1 hour a day to getting up to speed with my ErgoDox. I 3D printed some legs to get it standing at my ideal angle, and it’s much more comfortable than lying flat!

Did You Know? Disney Cast Members always use Two Fingers to point. This is an Homage to Walt Disney, who favoured this technique when Finger Blasting Slags

On this auspicious #WishlistWednesday, join my good friend "Dong Master" in playing our new game demo: store.steampowered.com/app/2312120

Freddie Gilbraith @gilbraith.bonsai.li · 18/05/2024

I'll include a screenshot so it qualifies for #screenshotSaturday, but: Our demo is finally out!!! It's a Character Driven Detective game with Chess Based Battle Mechanics (I promise it's fun even if you don't like chess! (I suck at chess!)) store.steampowered.com/app/2312120/... #GameDev
