SWOLECEROR surrounded by a crowd of gobbelins all reaching out trying to kill him as he punches one to death while holding another by the throat.

The folks at Vidya Games (sbox.game/vidya) have invited me to add scripting support for their upcoming Tech Jam entry, "Vidya Editor." I've decided to make a shrimple AST interpreter for Scratch-like blocks thing. Lots of allocations, but hey, as long as it works! #sbox #csharp

A piece of C# code containing the AST for an example video in the following post.

Decided to work on(not done yet) a dance machine to show off how all of it could be done in-scene with a Source-like entity suite without touching any code whatsoever. Expect scoring with timed presses. #SWOLECEROR #indiedev #gamedev #sbox #s&box #s8box

Added custom methods to my infinite node network that has recursive state machine support. Nodes are now basically components with Hammer-esque I/O. Easy to implement, all without touching any game code. Next up: a DDR machine with actual scoring. #SWOLECEROR #gamedev #indiedev #sbox #s&box #s8box

i wanted to make a funny/interesting video so i used the vine boom sound effect and ive been hearing it for an hour while testing and fixing a couple things. so you don't get an explanation. im taking a break. fuck this shit. but still.. #SWOLECEROR #indiedev #gamedev #sbox #s&box #s8box

Infinitely branching state machines using nodes that can execute scripts and Hammer-esque I/O all without writing any game code whatsoever. Entities include counters, timers, math operations, conditional logic and advanced triggers. #SWOLECEROR #indiedev #gamedev #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Almost done turning my limited state machine into a practically infinite network of very capable logical nodes with powerful custom functions that you can easily configure just like Hammer entities. A brilliant networking professional taught me today. #SWOLECEROR #indiedev #gamedev #sbox #s&box

The root of the state machine that drives the states is at the top. The bottom left state("State A") is selected, so the line is highlighted. Because it's selected it is constantly ticking at 10tps. I define the tick function live to delete various stuff. Also, please ignore the ring of hotdogs..

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Made a simple enumerated state machine logic entity. It selects states to run powerful, easily defined custom functions. Tomorrow I'm reworking it to be an infinite network of nodes; think of Source 2 AnimGraph except it makes any fuckin' sense. #SWOLECEROR #indiedev #gamedev #programming #sbox

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Added a timer entity(like "logic_timer") that can randomly delay and repeatedly execute logic similar to Hammer I/O and even run scripts. This video demonstrates how it can be set up and used by mappers. We full-on #programming now. #SWOLECEROR #gamedev #indiedev #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Made a sound entity(like "ambient_generic") supporting all engine-compatible file types, specific overrides, weighted randomness and inputs from my Hammer I/O-esque logic system. #SWOLECEROR #gamedev #indiedev #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Here's a quick overview of the state of #SWOLECEROR including a couple looks at our logic system. It has counters, math operations and conditions so IIRC it really is a Turing complete #programming language.. with MS Paint ultraviolence. #gamedev #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Made a `logic_case`-like entity supporting complex conditions and number comparison(==, >= etc). You can basically make your own computer in-scene now. So, uh.. SWOLCEROR is now officially Turing complete! #SWOLECEROR #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Here's what it looks like in the editor. Really simple stuff so non-programmers can easily add their own gameplay logic like in the good old days.

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Made a basic calculator using Game Fish's logic system with Hammer-like entities configured in-scene. I imagine he's headbutting the wall to press the buttons. #SWOLECEROR #sbox #s&box

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Added logic counters(like the "math_counter" Hammer entity) that can "write" their value to a text renderer. The logic system currently is like a limited Hammer I/O. #SWOLECEROR #sbox #s&box

Pictured here is how simple it is to toggle the goblin spawner on/off when you enter/exit the trigger.

Vidya Games @vidayogamsu.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Engineered an automatic goblin golfing machine using Game Fish's logic system. It makes it super easy to configure activating, toggling, destroying and running scripts on targets from the inspector. It's a bit limited otherwise but I do plan to have it be similar to Hammer. #SWOLECEROR #sbox #s&box

made it so that killing enemies with melee while they're being hooked towards you or not on the ground lets you aim where to launch them. first one to kill an enemy with a goblin that exited the lower atmosphere gets a prize

The game jam version of SWOLECEROR had raving reviews. Our players might be excited learn we're revamping it with a full first chapter planned and a proper new codebase. There will be blood. Goblins must die. sbox.game/vidya/swolec... #sbox #s&box
