You know how I have a knack for finding the most obscure games ever? Anyway, here's the first of several streams of a turn based strategy game designed as a teaching tool for nonviolent resistance movements: twitch.tv/alienbob and/or youtube.com/@alien_bob/live

I’m genuinely of the opinion that more things should have names that are sentences.

New #gamedev blog up. In it I showcase how to use vertex weights to control geometry density and UV scale. This allows you to construct a pipeline where the artists are still in control, but have the full power of automation behind them! simplygon.com/posts/ae19d9...

This morning I am reposting this art because it didn't get seen enough yesterday. I don't know why bluesky kept refusing to show it to anyone in the half dozen times I posted it. But hey, look at this pack art! Now I can put a pack screen video or gif on steam I guess.

Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

Texturing 3d models is my passion
A 3d model of a turret bot wearing a hot pink sash. It is not skillful texturing

Ok so I’ve been pretty unproductive one way or the other but I DID eventually figure out why ALL GAMES stutter a bit on my laptop. Turns out I just needed to sort out the fans. If you use Linux on a thinkpad you should look at thinkfan - github.com/vmatare/thin...

This week I’ve been mostly working on ladders. Which is about as fun as ever. This evening I am puzzling over a debug log I left myself - “you are not moving intentionally”

This week I worked on: - getting the crowbar up and running (switched to a hitscan implementation - viewmodel shader to stop it disappearing through objects - made those sweet cans of beans a little bouncier had fun-with-physics(tm) bsky.app/profile/tige... #godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev

Ok so I think I can see where I went wrong with the crowbar physics but it's also pretty funny.
