In less controversial news! Added some animations to Cyber Piggie (the boss that appears on screen every so often). I'm currently just figuring out how to add more meaningful content to the game (other bomb types , stages , bosses, more juice and accessibility options). #gamedev #pixelart

I'm mostly enjoying the custom feeds! Haven't posted much to show off my stuff yet, but it seems like it's easier to reach the relevant crowds here. I've been cursed on asocial media though, which is why I'm mostly lurking, so it remains to be seen when I start sharing things again.

I've written more procedural code that clashes with the ECS design principles, rather than breaking down problems further into smaller components and events that are more composable and reusable. Though, I'm still in the process of pivoting my thinking to what bevy's core design promotes.

Ludospex @ludospex.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

There's been a lot of focus on hooks and observers in #bevy development lately. I do see the value in using it for specific cases, but I've ended up in the trap of not thinking in batches on occasion, especially with the observers.

I've been tinkering with a twinstick shooter idea for a while, but my mind is drifting to an older idea again. I don't really play action games; why am I making one? My older idea is bigger though, and should be 3D I guess. I should probably align my projects with my preferences tho. #indiedev

Been working on `no_std` support for the #bevy game engine. It might not look like much, but here's a Bevy game compiled for the GameBoy Advance running in an emulator on an Android phone! The next release (0.16) will include this support for everyone! #gamedev

An Android phone held in landscape. On the phone is a GameBoy Advance emulator playing a game. The game shows a white screen with a small pixel-art character at the bottom edge.

Seen posts shitting on people for drawing ‘what’s popular’ and like, as someone’s who’s been on that grind before, it’s HARD. It makes you question the quality of the final piece because you don’t have that special spark of attachment to what you’re drawing.

Rust asserts are not intended to be removed for optimization and cannot be disabled according to the docs, hence they added `debug_assert!` which can. The debug variant should definitely have this lint tho. doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.as...

doc.rust-lang.org

assert in std - Rust

Asserts that a boolean expression is `true` at runtime.

Just tried to read up on Perl and now bash doesn't seem so bad. Perl having scalars, arrays and dictionaries; each having their own namespaces was just too weird and I said no. NO! $foo is a scalar, and you can have an array named @foo at the same time, and also a dictionary %foo. Why not.

000

Ludospex @ludospex.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

I can never make up my mind about bash scripts. The simplicity of just calling a series of CLI commands is nice, but the obscure syntax for everything else is so frustrating. Wondering if it's worth putting my automation stuff into Perl. Just gotta learn Perl... #indiedev

Specifically, I wanted to add anchor point data to sprite sheets generated by TexturePacker. Each frame needs this info and it was just handy to bundle it with the sprite data. Things like where to spawn the bullets of a gun, attach the laser sight, or attach an arm to a character.

Ludospex @ludospex.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I could even tweak the containing data structure so that it worked better with my imports to the game I'm making. Saved me from making my own tool to parse and re-jigger the data format just so I could add some new values.

Ludospex @ludospex.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Love it when you find a tool that can solve your problem in a simple way. jqlang.github.io/jq/ is the hero of the day! I wanted to add some additional data to a JSON file generated by another program. I've put the extra data in another JSON and use a Jq script to merge the two. #indiedev

It's a surprisingly annoying problem to solve. There are a lot of parameters to consider that cuts the eligible matches down to just a handful really fast, even if you have a huge concurrent playerbase. Hope you find this of interest: youtu.be/vm2pvpmnyvw?...
