Hey, #GameDev peeps! I got accepted into the Big Indie Pitch happening in Montreal next month, and I was wondering if anyone had pitched at one of these before, and what the experience was like. My goal is to find funding for my game, so I'm trying to see if the plane ticket is worth it.

🌠 Going live shortly! 💜 Slowly, the refactor progresses. It's taken a long time, and will likely take longer still. Yet the journey has been enjoyable, and the company invigorating. Come join me for some cozy coding/coworking.

🌠 Live now! 💜 I will try to finish the movement code refactor for my PNGTuber today. Fingers crossed it's quick, so I can play a game afterwards!

Stream update: I will no longer be streaming on a regular schedule.

A Discord message from Starlight that reads:

Hi all!

As I mentioned during today's stream, I am going to stop streaming on a regular schedule. I've been having lots of trouble keeping my usual schedule lately (largely due to mental health reasons), and I think it's best for me if I remove the pressure of the schedule. I still aim to stream the same amount (at least four streams per week for four hours at a time), but they will likely be at more unusual times instead of the early afternoon Monday through Thursday time slot that I've been doing for the past year.

Moving forward, I will be announcing streams again on BlueSky. You can also be notified of when I go live if you have the Twitch Alerts role on this server.

Thanks everyone for your support! I hope to see y'all in chat (perhaps at a new timeslot)!

I've been playing a lot of #Griftlands lately, and I just had to make a quick sketch about it. (Realistically, I probably wouldn't survive a year in Grout Bog, but at least I'll try to go out with a bang!)

Rough sketch of a bespectacled woman wearing the outfit of a Rise Radical from the video game Griftlands. The outfit consists of a tattered jacket, a scarf, patched trousers, and a belt with pouches. She is standing with her right arm outstretched toward the viewer, hand open and palm up. In her left hand, she grips an RPG.

Text at the top-left of the image reads, "C'mon friend. Those Barons won't fight themselves!"

By the way, the fix mentioned in that issue involves running OBS Studio through the `flatpak` command with an extra `--env` argument. To make it easier for myself, I just appended that to the application launcher in the Cinnamon menu. No need to open a terminal to launch the app 😄.

"Phew, finally submitted the game to the game jam! Time to relax. But first, let me share it with some folks." A few hours later, a friend sends a photo of them finishing the game. "Oh nice! It looks like the game's beatable at lea--" I notice that a major sprite is flipped for some reason. 🫠

Steps in the right direction, but would you trust a policy like: "We can't catch everyone peeing in the pool, so it's okay to pee in the pool as long as it's not substantial." It's better for everyone if the policy is "No peeing in the pool." The fact you can't catch everyone is irrelevant.

Here's the first test render from my bare-bones raytracing code, showing a public domain 3D scan of a triceratops skeleton from the Smithsonian museum! There are clearly still bugs when you zoom in, but progress! 🖥️😺 You wouldn't believe how many bugs were me mixing up greater-than and less-than 😆

Close-up on a triceratops skeleton in white, against a black background. There are many glitches visible in areas of the image where the skeleton is present.

Felt nice to make some missing icons for my tower defence/card game today instead of being stuck doing ui for a change! store.steampowered.com/app/3778320/... #blender #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Icon for "Spare Battery." It looks like a 9-volt battery with a glowing green charge meter and a glowing icon of a bear head in a circle, made in Blender

Description for Spare Battery:

Provides shots to towers that are out of ammo (50 shots remaining)

Icon for "Gambler's Fallacy." It's two d6s on a casino green background. Made in Blender

Description for Gambler's Fallacy:

Adds 10% luck to towers and 2 enemies to wave per hand played.

Line art of a feminine wizard kneeling on one knee and holding a twisted staff. They are touching the face of a blushing goblin.

Zamriel certainly didn't set CHA as their dump stat.

A feminine elf wizard wearing violet robes and a pointy hat kneels on one knee. Red markings criss-cross all over their skin. On their right hand, the wizard is holding upright a twisted wooden staff with a leather grip and green runes around the head. On their left hand, they are gently touching a goblin's face. The goblin is blushing and looks flustered. An axe is on the ground next to the goblin.

There is a text box to the side containing the following:

"You see a high elf wizard known as Zamriel the Red. They are a Student of Feminist Demonology at The Luminous Library of Starry Wisdom. Their steepled silver hat is decorated with moons. Their twisted ash staff is covered in creepy runes. They are dressed in extravagant violet traveler's robes. They are flirting with a goblin."

Another piece with Game Boy restrictions (160x144 size, 4 colors). Instead of a monochrome palette, I went with the colors of the nonbinary flag. It was difficult to figure out how to use the colors effectively, but I did my best. I also tried some foreshortening on the guitar.
