just spend the last few weeks trying to get a grip at mobile development, finish two apps in the process: - a chronological diary-thing/offline twitter clone - an RSS client with an embedding-based recommendation system was quite fun, will prob keep going. #mobiledev #jetpackcompose

one of the reasons that i cancelled this project was due to constrains on the vfx side, im really happy to see motion vectors being finally added to godot 4.6 after all this time, now i can finally do some crazy post processing effects for my next game

2 curious things about @itch.io that i found out with time 1. players prefer browser plays rather than downloading your game 2. yes, there's an audience for mobile games on itch.io #gamedev

using 3 libraries and none of them using the same data types is making me go insane srly, what do dotnet developers have against System.Numerics????????

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/08/2025

there's two draw calls that i have no idea what they do tho, they seem to blur up the screen just a little, might be a simple haze effect to make everything look more dream'y, it doesn't looks like anti-aliasing to me, but i might be wrong

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 01/08/2025

taking a look at how exok managed to render that 3d map in celeste and something caught my eye, they drew all of the transparent meshes in one draw call and i have no idea how. other than that, everything is super straight to the point, they even use baked lightning to keep it even more simple

tried importing a GLTF model, was kind of a hassle, there's barely any documentation on the lib i was using, but was able to do it nontheless i really wanna keep working on this, working with frameworks is fun as hell

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 26/07/2025

trying out MonoGame's 3d features for the first time. I love this framework, it's really fun to work with

650ms of frame time hiccup for when i start a simulation, i should be locked up in a prison to never see the light of day again, omg how did i get to this point??? and it is supposed to run in BROWSERS!!!! no idea how i will optimize these navigation agents, im panicking...

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 28/02/2025

tried to make my own custom build of godot to decrease the size of the web runtime by disabling some big modules (+ some other classes) that my game doesn't use and ended up barely making a difference at the end of the day, 2+ hrs of compilation time for this, kind of sad tbh

Where is Juan Linietsky? What does he do? What does he eat? Is he doing OK? JK, but fr now, Juan seems to have given up from being a public figure last year, leaving the community in the dark about a lot of info regarding the making of the engine, somethings that is being sorely missed by everyone.

Only 1 click away from 500 stars!!!!

I just finished SH3, this game just turned into my favorite game of all time (sry hyper light, ur 2nd place now) it's truly an amazing heartfelt experience, loved every moment of it, from beginning to end

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 16/06/2024

this is one of the main reasons why i prefer godot over any other engine (screenshot taken from faq page)

I love this trend of developers with questionable choice of text editor/ide I, myself, am considering moving to nano

Wierd lilttle programming critical low level code inside the acme text editor without syntax highlighting

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 12/05/2024

was taking a look at godot's 3.6 version milestone on github noticed that there's loads of PRs ready to be merged in to the codebase that are only waiting for a review. i wonder whats taking so long for somebody to review these...

lucas ângelo :: ahopness @lucasangelo.dev · 12/05/2024

godot's text_file resource class is a mess, it doesnt bind any methods to class db and the filesystem tab doesnt recognize any files imported as it i should try to modify this class, although it will be a pain in my ass to build the engine, this issue should be easy to fix

And to think that godot would have full color management support by 2019, but the PR got closed bc of gd4's vulkan renderer being a mess All i wanted was HDR output, was too much to ask????
