The #PlasmaGun is one of the most OP weapons in game, some enemies are so vulnerable to it, that you can k1ll them in 1 shot. Also, when the ice golem dies, everything in the water room freezes. Except for the water barrels. Should they?

Water is an important element in the game, it appears in one form or another constantly in the game.

I know you love it when I show you some Unreal Engine stuff, and even more, when I show you the code. So, today I remembered one of the tips related to InvLerp node. I call this image stabilization for 2 colors

Sometimes I write "soon" about Steam page for new game. Every week I get closer to this. It's like being a frog lying in water that is heating up. I understand what I will have to do after this. Today I took 144 screenshots and now I need to choose 10 #gamedev #indiedev #steam

So sad to see them descend into hell like that. I remember when they used to punch up and make fun of assholes. Now they became the assholes. Meh.

Thursday, on this day the morning coffee with cinnamon. Again, sick game dev thoughts. Think about a list of "classic spices for video games", not just for coffee or food. First you make game core and then you add these spices. What can be called #gamedev / #indiedev spices?

Heya folks, here's a videograph featuring Machinarium by Amanita Design.

This is my first time playing through this one, but I can definitely see why this game was/is so popular, the artwork is gorgeous.

Some barrels contain powerups, but sometimes, finding one that contains them, is borderline impossible. Where's that ammo when you need it!

Nah, the platforms got a "trick" but it is topology-based. Pretty simple, actually, but very effective. I tried to keep the "unfair" factor to the minimum, but I'm sure the very few things gonna still feel unfair 🤷‍♀️

Some of the scariest and most annoying environmental hazards are the flame throwers and there's quite a few areas that feature them.

Neurotypical and Neurodivergent patients are incompatible ideologically, this is why highly Neurotypical communities are a very hostile and miserable place to exist in, for a lone Neurodivergent individual.

Ever met someone so stupid you wish the "the more you know" star obliterates them like a meteorite did with the dinosaurs?
