#ControlResonant is really good, when it doesn't try to be an open world game... And GOD do I love the character AND actor of Dr. Darling

I finally came out of my "summer sleep" and released some new cool things! Today I've released a blogpost about how I created "ManiaFind", a modern #Trackmania United ManiaLink search engine. laura.media/blog/buildin...

Building a search engine for Trackmania's lost web ~ Laura Sofia × Developer & Designer

Trackmania United Forever had an in-game internet, and most of it is gone. Here's how I built a search engine for what's left of it.

Today was the first time I played AoE 2 with cheats and I somehow managed to put myself in the team that was used for all the neutral animals. My 100 spawned cars therefore were owned by me but also "enemies".

After some more styling... (Also notice the logo, feels like it fits haha) As said again, the theming system is fully customizable, and I'll probably also include a "classic theme" that is more.. tables and FamFamFam icons

I've recently developed a Source Engine VPK explorer that runs on GTK / libadwaita as a little UI study. I genuinely think GTK4 + Adwaita is the cleanest and most consistent interface language out there. I used to think Material UI was that but then they laid off most of the designers working on it

Growing up means that you learn to understand that superkai64's question at Minecon 2015 was actually very sane, they were just hard to understand. Because of course you would want to ask how much dedicated RAM you'd need for a Minecraft server. That's a good question.

Let's see if it will lead somewhere, for my first session, I've already built some really important lower level systems, like the "config" reader, database connection and a theming system based on twig!

trying to do some level design. I think at least one speed focused stage would be good for the demo.

Why did @halfbrickstudios.bsky.social never put Jetpack Joyride as a 20€ premium-ish game on the Nintendo Switch? I don't even think it would affect the mobile game's monetization, considering they are two different targer groups.. If PvZ can do it, they can too, without AI and much much better...

I think what I love about people dissecting the leaked #Portal2 builds is seeing certain areas and think "WAIT, THAT'S THAT AREA JUST MOVED AND ADJUSTED??". Valve projects are SO incredibly helpful to see the iterative gamedev process in action.

Here’s my first gamescom preview! I got to play Crazy Taxi: World Tour for around 45 minutes. As a huge fan of the original, I was excited to see its return, but unfortunately, my skepticism has only grown after playing it. gamesfinest.de/gamescom/gam... [German, feel free to translate!]

This should honestly be a thing newspages like @videogameschronicle.com or @gamedeveloper.bsky.social should report on. Not just because it's still an annoying issue entirely avoidable by Valve, but also because it's such a surreal situation with the PR image of the president et all

I've finally watched the #Chernobyl series and while the cinematography is pretty neat, I am a bit surprised it got praised this much. As someone who has watched a documentary or two about the incident, it felt quite shallow and after some research it's apparently quite wrong in it's depiction.

I've finished the #SaintsRow Reboot... It's a heavily flawed game, and sometimes it's noticeable the team didn't want to build such a bad game... But what also shines through is that #Volition was incredibly talented and didn't deserve to close down.

When you start hormone therapy because you're transfem, they often give you a big scary talk about how this will make you infertile and heavily increases the risk of getting arterial thrombosis or breast cancer. What they don't tell you is that the "increase" is just the default risk for cis women.

Today I debugged an API authentication bug. I just wasn't able to be authenticated via a known good token. After HOURS I finally got it... I was using Swagger for the api docs. Despite it's feature of using a token, it only actually applies if that specific api call has a "needs auth" flag set. 🙃
