made a new drone in-between designing the more important systems~ you can now get a "Sword Drone Bay" which spawns the drone of its namesake, which will follow you around and attack on your command cause what's a space shooter without a melee attack lol #gamedev #indiedev #godot

album cover for the new florence has some tremendous aura
The cover for the band Florence + The Machine's newest upcoming album "Everybody Scream"

It features the eponymous Florence herself, sitting in the corner of wood-paneled room facing the camera on... maybe a bed or something, with her legs spread wide and some white cloth covering a mild portion of her lower half. Her right arm is draped upon the back of whatever it is she is sitting on. She is staring directly into the camera with her head slightly cocked to the side.

The shot is done with a fish-eye lens, that is to say the edges of the shot bow inwards, giving the impression that we are peering in on this view. The overall coloration has an earthy tone.

got served this ad on reddit and i genuinely have no fuckin clue what this inscrutable piece of shit is it looks like a damn beyblade
here we see a screenshot of a reddit ad for a kickstarter project. the image is overall white, with a view of some black object in the center. The object has three identical parts arranged in a triangular shape, with exposed nuts and screws facing the viewer. the parts are connected.

there are minimal details on the image which do nothing to explain what the object is, simply saying "Limited Quantities", "Sign Up for First Dibs", and worst of all, "Activate Launch Sequence".

forgot i made this a while back and never posted it was musing on a character design for a possible twin-stick shooter featuring a bullet witch with a friend and drew up this crazy lady (how the do people decide on what to do for backgrounds for this sorta shit???) #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
here we see a pixel art character. they are squatting a bit and wearing a large brown robe and a brown witch's hat. their skin is a very dark blue-black color, and they are sporting a cartoonishly wide, toothy grin; with large yellow eyes featuring red pupils that together elicits a "crazed" look to them. their hair is frazzled and graying, to evoke a sense that they were caught in a mild gunpowder explosion, and they have several protrusions from their arms and knuckles that resemble bullets. they are holding some sort of semi-automatic weapon in their hands.

startin' to feel presentable. fishing is working and i've got like, 19 weird fishies to catch each with a shiny / golden variant again, just an idle thingy for eventual streams so the twitch integration is bare but hopefully it is at least fun to look at lol #gamedev #indiedev #godot
here we see a screenshot of a pixelated game sort of thing i am working on. we see several little pixel humanoids milling about, with one that looks like a tiny skeleton on the right that appears to be fishing. they are pulling back on a fishing rod trying to reel in a supposed fish. there is a small little Windows 98 style window above them that points to them, signifying that they are the one speaking. they are saying "COME ON BIG BUCKS NO WHAMMIES". there are also several messages in a window above them that looks like a chat log.

everything is set against a simple starry background with dark green bricks that all the little people are walking along

having fun drawing in webfishing~ i'm really really late to the game here because the idea of being in a lobby with randos gave me anxiety but i finally got on with some friends, and bruh everyone is so fucking chill and cool in that game lmao genuinely a wonderful experience
here we see a screenshot from the game Webfishing of some drawings on the ground. The drawings are presented in a circle surrounding a tree, and feature a large green frog, a golden manta ray, and a partially obscured red dragon that is breathing fire. They are set on an orange background, though in reality the background color was a rainbow color that would change over time. The frog appears to be saying "OBEY", and has a commanding presence to them.

here we see a couple of still screens from an episode of spongebob, where he gives squidward a list of Fun things he wants to do with friends. The captions allude to this, with one major difference

Spongebob: "The companies that are doing EXTRA bad, I've written in RED!"Squidward, nervously: "EVERYTHING'S in red!"Spongebob, excitedly: "YEAH I know~!!"

my friends gave me a canadian quarter after coming back from visiting a mutual friend up there so i did this
we see a photo of a hand holding a very small, ornate golden picture frame. The frame is rectangular and surprisingly intricate for its size, as it fits neatly into the palm of a hand. It reflects a warm, diffuse light that highlights its features. Nestled within it, centered upon a dark contrasting background, is the canadian quarter. The quarter has a bust of a caribou, a horned animal, on it. Notably, the picture frame that surrounds the quarter is far more elaborately designed than the quarter itself.

I spent thirty got dang dollars framing a quarter somebody please laugh

i have the opposite problem :(
here we see a screenshot of some code

we see several fields of an object called "CombatAttributes" declared

INT (for Intelligence), FTH (for Faith), CHA (for Charisma), SPD (for Speed) and LCK (for Luck). Notably, the only one that is underlined is the "INT" field, which is tossing out a warning that says "Identifier 'INT' contains type name" with a cryptic code assigned to the warning. It is angry because "int" is used to define integers, and it is wagging its metaphorical finger and saying not to do that

set out to just make a little placeholder portal for players to spawn out of but then i just... kept going cause i was enjoying how it looked and now i feel like it came out pretty nice actually lol one day i'll learn (lie) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #wip
here we see a piece of pixel art. the background is a dark blue with a dithering effect towards the bottom that lightens the sky as it progresses downwards. tiny blue and white stars of varying sizes dot the sky.

the focus of the piece is a rocky archway made of stacked dark stones, with a rim of green lighting on the inside cast by a series of concentric rings that evoke a feeling of depth beyond what the archway would normally contain - implying that this is a portal to some verdant dimension, far away from here.
