I make video games when the occasion calls for it. Pushing 40. Forever a Paratrooper. I'm not great at responding quickly. Sorry about that.

I hope you have an awesome day!

Probably my work I'm most proud of. Valve made the zombies, I made a dumb map and threw 'em in there.

I just thought of a really cool way to implement an AI sense of "smell"

Is this something that helps @volleyshot.bsky.social get released?

... no. No it's not. Should I see someone for thinking about virtual smells? Yeah, probably.

I don't play RPGs often so forgive me if this has been a thing for a while. But having the occasional option to say nothing in Avowed and just glare ominously at whomever you're talking to speaks to my SOUL.

I'm reposting this because I didn't provide context the first time.

These are the tactics being used against you. They are not new, and are easily defeated. Just take five minutes and read.

Wait so Musk now has an approval rating? I know this country has lost its collective mind but, excuse me, what the fuck?

We have a literal 4chan troll as president.

What the fuck?

a good game can turn into a great game if it sucks a little bit in an interesting way

Btw as someone who did gamedev mostly for fun for many years and now for profit for many years I can assure you the best way for you to lose your passion is to turn this stuff into a fulltime job
Too much gamedev advice is dispensed assuming the end goal is a commercially viable game and maybe that's a problem? Making a financially load bearing game is so close to impossible that maybe setting that as the end point for all game development is creating wildly unrealistic expectations
