They die in horrible accidents. At the very end, the last chapter is the flash of 47 in place of a name, and it's him doing a post-job interview where they go through the process he was doing in the background for each accident. Kinda like the end of Clue. It would make a great comedy

An intro scene in which they all are meeting, 47 barely visible in the background at a single point, then a series of "Chapters" where their name flashes on screen and the camera follows them through their nefarious lives, and in the background somewhere there is occasionally 47.

That's fair. I am in my third run of trying to learn Godot, and thankfully it actually seems to be sinking in so far, but the inbetween times have been rough so *shrug*. If it works, it works :)

I can see why you are enamored. Pun unintended, that adds a lot of depth the a 2D scene.

Neat. Sorry if you already explained previously, just stumbled back into the platform.

So is it a 2D game engine, or 3D game engine with 2D sprites and a static viewport?

Not exactly keen on it myself (GenAI is an abomination), but I can see the logic: It's going to happen. You can either try to police it, which is not viable in many cases, or you can make it clear to your users that it is going to be there and let them self-opt out of them.

The ability to have multiple discs and being able to swap them out when away from the computer was superior back when you couldn't fit a thousand songs on any given MP3 player.

Some of us spent the time needed to get less horribly compressed MP3 files from Kazaa, the superior website for viruses disguised as not viruses, thank you. ... Will admit, though, mini-discs were really good in comparison to early MP3 players.

This. The eternal meme of "he told you he'd do it" remains evergreen. He knew this was coming, he just doesn't want to be caught holding the bag.

Or deliberately using shitty UI as a sort of impromptu Intelligence check (which is foolish, because it's a visual processing issue, not an intellect issue)

He is a charming wordsmith who can talk a horseshoe into unbending... and he just met someone who *cannot* be charmed, and he has been tossing lines for a while now and *nothing* is working, and his toolbox is now empty and he's now simply as a loss as to how to proceed.

Crammed a new launcher into the game that many are calling literal spyware.

OK, fine. I guess I'll give it a go... Damn it; it does. Ughhhhhhhhhh, it'll be stuck in my head when I watch it in future now. 🙃

I feel bad, as I am not on here all that often right now, but even I at least check out those that happen upon me.

A fun little fishing game I fell across from my steam recommendations, with a solid demo. Beautiful #pixelart, very relaxed gameplay. Vibes like an old SNES fishing game. Worth sharing in case folks are interested.

Although personally I would avoid anything super-elaborate for the font. Harder to scale weird crinkle cut paper whatever common in fantasy text, and honestly, strikes me as the TTRPG equivalent of Comic Sans. Bold and simple (and thus legible)

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Also, y'know, better text in general. Just kinda picked the first really clear text on Krita for this.

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Alternatively, big thin book, moth on top, and full text across the rest of the book. In this case, I would make the text taller to match the height of the moth

Super bloody simple mockup. Book's facing in wrong because didn't dedicate time to trying to make it right. "press" would be cut out of the color for the book.

Big thing is, when scaled, it can go anywhere from "book title" size to "tiny almost unnoticeable thing in the corner of the back cover" without any editing. It could be shoved at the bottom of a page or elsewhere without being massively intrusive.

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

TTRPG publisher? A side view of a moth looking down at a book, wings folded. The idea is to imply a monk-like quality to it with the wings looking as if robed. Text starts above the book, next to the moth, and extends to the right. Entire thing is an outline in one color.

to do: 1) Have mild breakdown at the empty list 2) Get idea for next game 3) Have mild breakdown over suddenly full to do list.

A plethora of time, an idea I never saw implemented well, and eventually the realization I need practice before I work on that idea and the thought that my wife would enjoy the practice idea.

I am using #godot and failed to understand how groups really functioned, as well as failed to really understand vector math and movement. Again, greatly enthused, but also vexed. Ahh well, progress.

Finally, finally getting back into coding a game. I am doing a quick run-through of the old tutorials as a refresher and discovering exactly why the shit I was trying to do was not working, which on the one hand is grand and useful, but on the other, slightly damming I had to start fresh to see it.

Considering the state of the world today, it's looking better than I expected. I don't think he's going to smuggle anyone out of the US to Argentina when the regime ends.

Very nice. I especially like how you managed to make the "walk" animation more of a "waddle" animation.

I mean, that's the answer. They already had a big mind-share in the programming headspace, but then they got *stupidly* greedy and lost a bunch of it.

010

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Seconded. I have a Kamvas Pro 12, and it has served faithfully for years at a much better price point. More affordable point of entry, and only thing it might be missing is a little on the high end precision (and I am making an assumption there)

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Very nicely done. faking 3D rotation in 2D is a bugger and a half.

Fairly sure I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of *stuff* one has to learn as a solo dev. Start small. Cubes that jump and shoot, *then* make them not cubes.

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Current plan is to revisit the old tutorial to pump out the tests as a refresher, then have a look at using Resources in godot again to try and get the idea to settle proper in my head. From there, i will likely program the game's functions without art, then go from there to art and sound.

MrBright01 ಠ_ಠ | Making "Super Flamingo Island" on Godot @mrbright01.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Well, finally reached the point where I am almost ready to pick up my attempt at a platformer again, been cleaning up my file structure and did some concept designing, because as it turns out, it really helps to decide what you want gameplay to be like *before* you program. Who knew?

I dunno. Canada not electing their own Trump is fairly solid, considering they were expected to win until Canada got a good look at the future via the US.
