New animations working alright in the editor. It only took me 2 hours each, so I should be done by 2032.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

Reminder that Humble Games was bought by IGN in 2017 and has since gone through restructuring and layoffs. You know, the usual corporate shit.
Back in 2016 Humble was literally the only mainstream storefront willing to carry Ladykiller as an 18+ game, which I thought was courageous of them and helped push other platforms. Seeing how far they've fallen since then in making this deeply embarrassing decision is really painful to see
Humble's now banned it too, post-launch:

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Anti-Skid.
I'm not talking about adding a little extra detergent to your laundry; it's when the player lets go of the movement input and if a hazard is detected then the character inertia is stopped.
Are you Pro-Skid or Anti-Skid? #indiegamedev

I don't know how to do it but we have to teach liberals that current bad things are not random quantum events, but the culmination of systems and policies put in place to create them. Trump and the SCOTUS are the system working as intended: protecting and empowering capitalist swine at all costs.
As others have pointed out, the founders never foresaw a corrupt president (which we have) abusing the pardon power to absolve all criminals and miscreants for any reason, nor did our Daffy Duck Supreme Court ever think it might not be a good idea to put said president above the law.

What should the length, duration, details be for a player dash?
I have a rough idea that it should at least be able to pass the length of a regular enemy attack and their capsule.

The Epic fab marketplace can filter AI generated content.
Why is it ok to warn developers about the content they are about to purchase, but not the gamer end users?

Looks like AI is perfect for replacing CEOs.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Nobody needs to be doing fascism in retort. When you do shit like this it may feel good to point out hypocrisy, but you are accepting their framing.
Just remind people that their ideas are bigoted, unacceptable, and unworthy of discussion.

So I don’t usually link my site because the updates to the game are posted here, but if you want to read a detail state of the project it can be found below.
The biggest difference is that 2025 goals were vague and the 2026 goals are more focused.
