unrelated to gamedev... Deadlock now has an old lady baba-yaga character... i love her... I did 85 votes, it paid off... I will play a round then get back to game jam

an old lady sits on a park bench which has chicken feet. She is infront of 80 "I voted" stickers with her face on them.

I've been shocked at how nice my AMD GPU is. I got a cheap one so I could use it with a second hand PC and it's stronger than my NVidia one which cost 4x as much!! So I reccomend those!! (Only downside is NVidia has a useful noise filtering for OBS, but I think there are workarounds?)

And there's no reason we should suspect steam would ever leak this information (attached image unrelated)

"*Updated post title* Persona 6, Kingdom Hearts IV, and other Steam achievements surface in large-scale leak"

really like the maximalist artstyle in the zelda OOT remake. found this big ol seam in the cave, either an edge sharpening while baking error or because it's a flipped version of the rock on the left and the normal map didn't like that... funny either way

Image of young link in a cave looking at a chest across a bridge. There's a rock on his right which has a hard line between the light and dark, likely because of a normal map issue.

This is a sign: start documenting how you approach doing parts of game dev you keep forgetting each project... been making documentation for this bit by bit, stuff like automated builds, setting up FMod, minimizing the game files' size etc. etc. now I don't need to watch a youtube video every time

That's a good approach! I could change the theme on the text for hovered/unhovered/clicked states, but the tricky bit is getting the size of the box to match the size of the text I'm just trying to get a good solution for a study project so I can reuse it later, sorry for the openended problem haha

4 buttons:
- A normal button with a lot of text
- A button with a label child with a lot of text, the button hasn't automatically adjusted its size to keep the text inside the button
- A normal button with a lot of text in a vertical box
- A button with a label child with a lot of text in a vertical box, the button's background is only covering a small portion of the text, unlike the other button which is tightly wrapped by it's background

Porplefish @porple.fish · 15/08/2026

So in Godot, if you want to use a nine patch style texture on a button without a custom class, it changes the size of the button to allow the text to not overlap the corner detailing at all Does anyone know a good approach to get a button like the one on the right without a lot of nodes??

A button with text in the middle, there are blue lines illustrating the space the text takes up and the corner details of the box the text is in is spaced to avoid the text, creating a much larger box than is needed to display the text and the corner details.

The same button as the last image, but the text is fitting neatly into the button with the corner details much closer to the text.

wrangled 6 people together to play big walk! Game's good :) very silly, really like the Aussie sound design and the look of the game. They updated the audio levels to be more accessible while we were playing, so I'm excited to test that out next time, everyone's so quest at the moment!!

4 sleeping people and one person looking at a map in Big Walk.

here it is in the trailer for Neon Blood, maybe an asset pack?

Screenshot from the trailer for a cyberpunk game on steam called "Neon Blood" It also has a sign which says ヒホハヤヌ. It also has a sign which says 日本 (Japan,) 新幹線 (Bullet train) and メカニック (Mechanic) so I'm not sure what they all are meant to mean together.

It doesn't feel great seeing Unreal Engine start using AI so forcefully. Watching the new 5.8 feature highlights and I have a question. what is ヒホハヤヌ? hihohayanu? I could find the same sign mesh on slop game "Revenge"'s page. Don't look it up, their website makes my PC scream despite being 1 image

Been modelling rooms like this for prototype levels to get a feel for it and it's been very freeing. (This and baked lightmaps rather than realtime / voxelGI) Do you know any good resources on modelling levels in this way? Hard to find through all the modular kit stuff

Update on this! 🎉 Commands and messages are being read by Godot, this is about 5 hours and 175 lines of code deep I only did this because the plugin I was using previously seemed vibe-coded, and it has taken far less time than I spent trying to get the plugin to work (18 hrs across 3 test projects)

The gallery uses eleventy-img for automatic image resizing & swipebox for the UI! There's fun animations and things, I thought it would be way harder. The Itch embed was way easier, just a copy paste thing from the "edit page" on Itch! So much better than a link... I could make a real press kit...

Hello! I made a silly horror escape room on a train in 1930's Japan recently, which you can check out here: porplefish.itch.io/lastpassenger And I'm currently working on a couple of prototypes because not a lot of people picked up LP, these have a heavy Plastiboo and Ps2 era influence :)

Inside the train carriage from the game last passenger. There's a mouse girl on the bottom left

Inside of the train control room, there's a filing cabinet, slice of cheese and old timey phone. The "moon" is visible, and is an eye.

working on a game based in a generalllllly similar period, it just seemed visually/tonally interesting when I was looking into references. The game is an escape room on an early electric train, with mercury arc rectifiers and wood panelling and the such
