I enjoyed watching Spider Noir on Amazon. I thought Nicholas Cage's own take on being The Spider was great. The only criticism I have is that it took a little too long to get things going. From an 8-episode show, it wasn't until after episode 4 that things really started to happen. Still, loved it

Sad to hear the passing of Gerry Conway. Gerry created The Punisher as author, along with artists John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru. Very sad to see him gone. Rest in peace good sir.

Been experimenting with another gaming engine that is has way more granular control but it’s more pure code than visual editor. Monogame. This is just a tutorial I followed. I might switch to this engine for @hawkstonegame.com #monogame #videogame #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamer

Animation test for one of the characters in the game @hawkstonegame.com. Walking sequence accounts for walking up, down, left, right, and diagonally up and down. More animation sequences to go, obviously. Jumping, swords, magic etc... #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #rpg #rpggames #gadotdev

More concept art for @hawkstonegame.com , players will be able to enter dwellings, interact with NPCs to get info, find quests and items. Some houses will be bigger (hell, you may even find a castle) #indiegames #indiegamedevelopment #videogames #retrogames #rpggame #indiedev #godot #godotdev

Concept pixel art for the indie game HawkStone that is currently being developed. This is the inside of a dwelling, with an old worn wooden cupboard in one corner, a bed with a sword on it, a green rug with a wooden table. On the table is some cheese, a potion and a candle. In the other corner is a bookshelf with a skull on it, and an old antique cracked vase. Two characters are in here, one is wearing a brown robe with a belt and black hair, the other a green vest with a hood over their head. The exit/entrance to the dwelling is behind the green hooded character. This is a 2D style pixel top down perspective.

Concept pixel art for the indie game HawkStone that is currently being developed. This is the outside of a typical dwelling in the game. The house is in a green field, with a tree to the left, some tree stumps to the sides of the house. The house itself has a wooden thatched roof, and the walls are made of large stone and logs. The door is wooden, and there is a wooden barrel to the front of the house just off to the right. There are a few tufts of taller grass to the right of this house. This is a pixel style 2D top down perspective of the game.

I needed to include some pixel concept art for my game where there's lakes & bridges, other types of plant life, stairs etc. Also wanted to get a feel for what it might look like where scenes pan for a player. #indiegames #indiegamedevelopment #videogames #retrogames #rpggame #indiedev

Building a video game means concept art I make also has to include nature, not just houses and man-made (or elf, orc-made?) structures. So things like trees, rocks, tall grass, and brush. Hell, we even have wolves. #indiegames #indiegamedevelopment #videogames #retrogames #rpggame #indiedev

Concept pixel art work by GlenCodes of his retro indie RPG game he's making. Here we have grass, trees, a dead tree stump, some tall grass brush clusters, some rocks, two grey wolves wondering around and a human dressed in a green tunic.

New post who dis? Been a minute! Been busy creating lots of pixel assets for the retro indie RPG video game I'm making. Here's the very first "concept" art. It's a top-down view, obviously. Here's some zombies and an orc approaching an unsuspecting adventurer. Do we like? #indiegame #retrogame

Concept art for GlenCode's retro indie RPG game he's creating. Three drooling zombies and an orc approaching an unsuspecting adventurer who is dressed in green with a hood over his head. The scene has green grass, a wooden fence, a ruin near by and a medieval style house made of wood and a hay roof. There is a wooden barrel, a sword, an arrow and a shield leaning against the house.

I realised pretty quickly while creating pixel assets for my game I’m making that I can only go so far with a mouse. So I got a drawing tablet. Nothing fancy. Just a no name brand and it works perfectly for what I need. The difference is huge. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #godot

May the 4th be with you! I've been working on pixel art assets for my own fantasy RPG 2D game im building. While I can't show you some of that work just yet, here's a little star wars tribute in my own pixel art style. Whatcha think? #maythe4th #starwars #starwarsfanart #pixelart

We have combat! It’s not perfect, some bugs to wrinkle out, there’s no reaction to being hit (other than vanishing when dead) but it’s coming along! I’m going to put knowledge of this 2D pixel game development to good use when I do a real proper game #gamedeveloper #games #godot #retrogame

Next stage of my game tutorial learnings - Monsters programmed to give chase! This is before any combat system is implemented. When the player enters within a certain distance from this slime-goop thingy, it chases the player. Garghh C'MERE rargh.... lemme slime you #2Dgame #videogame #retrogame

Learnt about object collisions with this top-down 2D style game example. It's my hope once I've learnt all this, I'll make my own fully fledged RPG video game (artwork here isn't my own, its from the tutorial, but ill learn pixel art too) #rpggames #retrogames #gamedevelopment #gamedev #godot

I did it! (🔈 sound on to here the SFX) Followed the tutorial the whole day and I have a 2D platform game. Just goes to show it IS possible. The art and music isn’t mine, it was supplied by the tutorial but I can build on the concepts here and make something of my own! #godot #gamedevlopment

Okay the game tutorial with Godot is complete! I kept dying in my game. In defense it's past 2am. Off to bed. Enjoy the final video complete with game music and death sounds! #godotengine #godot #videogamedeveloper

Another update! Fun game tutorial using the Godot game engine. Now I've got BAD GUYS!! It's basic sure, it's the tutorial's artwork, but I got the mechanics nailed. The most fundamental of most games - Collision detection and damage.  The more I go, the more I learn. Fun!   #godot #gamedeveloper

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 15/03/2025

I did a thing! Been playing around with game development using the Godot gaming engine. Following a tutorial. Basic but it's helping me learn how to do this cool stuff. Maybe I'll build my own 2D video game with it! #godotgameengine

Daredevil Born Again was outstanding. Can't wait for more episodes. I feel like they've kept up with the same cool, gritty, rawness of the original series. #DareDevilBornAgain #Marvel

Star Wars Outlaws. Newly acquired. Well this is pretty fun. Blasters, Hyperspace, Speedsters I keep crashing, heists, scum and villainy. Great game. I can see myself playing a lot more of this.

Bit late to the game (pun intended) but I figured after four years all the bugs would be sorted for this to be worth playing. Time to get some cybernetic implants, some cool weapons and do a few gigs for some shady people.

So I bought a Mac mini a few days ago. Honestly this thing is awesome. My MacBook is 4 years old so it was time for an upgrade, still works fine though (I run my own business). I’ll eventually get a new MacBook. Not sure why but the 2nd pic makes it look bigger than it actually is.

Bummed out that the new Apple vision pro isn't going to be available in Australia. Why do Americans do this with their products? Apple is in the global marketplace. BE global. If its not going to be out until 2024 in the US, that means 2025 for Australia? Sad face.
