Here's a few little tricks I used in my game! 👽 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev First Trick: I separate the player's physics from their model briefly after jumping so that I can give her a slight anticipation without taking control away. In the vid, the sphere is the real player! More in the replies!

Shoutout to the tunnel vision game dev gives you. Made a whole checkout system where the NPC brings their items up, I scan it, give them their money, and they leave. Real proud of it. Then I got asked when they give me money. I was paying them to buy things from the store. I'm so good at this.

#3460 Press shift to crouch

A comic about a super buff guy doing squats at the gym

Panel 1.
He is squatting down and counting '4'

Panel 2.
He stands back up, looking satisfied.

Panel 3.
He squats back down counting '5' but is suddenly surprised by a loud 'bleeeoop' sound.

Panel 4.
He stands confused saying 'what the heck?' as he looks down at the 'sticky keys' message box that has materialised in front of him.

Thinking about that time that Game Freak put an NPC that doesn't move on this bridge, because otherwise the player stepping on that tile would have triggered the cave entrance that is *underneath* the bridge at the same position (source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdFQ... )

Video games are the only entertainment medium I can think of where there's widespread and uncritical demand that IPs just keep going perpetually for the sake of it, even if there's no good reason to or if the people behind it have no interest in doing so.

October 1st sees the release of RetroSpace, a System Shock and Prey 2017 style immersive sim with a distinctive retro-futuristic vibe, I'd been looking forward to this one for quite some time and finally playing the demo I was not disappointed. Definitely give this one a look!

RetroSpace on Steam

Immersive, disco-punk, space horror where you can be a sneaky chap or a mutant action hero as you try to survive on a space station swallowed by a black hole. A mind-bending ride with weird creatures,...

#3439 The Dragon of the Lake offers you a choice, but which is the correct path?

A digital drawing of a puzzle featuring a dragon in a lake surrounded by 2 paths of stepping stones. The dragon is saying 'I am the dragon of the lake, behold my mighty scales!'

There is also text that reads 'Our quest is brought to a halt and we find ourselves at a crucial junction. The dragon of the lake has emerged and told us to choose a path. One way leads to a major obstacle that will surely bring our quest to an end, and the other, just a minor inconvenience that we can deal with swiftly.

To make things more complicated the dragon has insisted we must rely on our ears and cross the lake wearing a blindfold.

However, we figured out we could just memorise the series of half steps and whole steps needed to get from stone to stone.

As long as we don’t trip on these roots at the start we should be fine.
The only question is, which is the correct path?'

Despite everything, I do still think there’s truth to the idea that video games are distinctly effective at making people absorb and internalize lots of information in ways that traditional teaching material is not. It’s just that “gamification” consists of every wrong lesson from that observation.

A New Color (1/5🧵)

Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.”

Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.”

Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

Inventing cards in paper is so so so so much easier than converting them to flexible interpretable code that a user can easily modify. When this card deals damage with a cannon, that damage is doubled. Sounds easy right? Oh no no no. No no no no no no no.
