🚨 FREE STUFF ALERT! 🚨

I'll be giving away a Steam key at a random time later today.

It is a Humble Bundle leftover that needs to be used while it's still redeemable.

Not telling you what it is.

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.

Godot is awesome and I love using it but big game studios aren't really using it.

And that's why I re-installed Unity on my computer.

It's been a while since I actually did anything with Unity, it feels like I forgot everything.

"Action figures" Why are they called like that?

I mean it's not like they move around by themselves.

The other day I was on Pixabay looking for some sound clips, I typed "carmina burana", the search bar automatically modified my query for "calming banana" (aka O Fortuna).

I have not seen any other searches get warped like that and it seems a bit strange.

Here is a screenshot of a game I'm developing with Godot.

It's a brick busting game (obviously heavily inspired by Arkanoid) with a math twist.

I thought that making this game would be just a quick little thing but it turns out I was a fool for thinking that.

Spent ~20 minutes trying to reproduce the TTC Upwarp glitch in Mario 64 today. Nope.

No $1000 bounty for me today. 😔

I was playing some Rocket League yesterday, which is pretty much the only game I play online.

Had the usual "third guy on the team quitting on us" thing happening in some
matches. Got stuck with some trolls in other matches.

So I uninstalled the damn thing, it's just not fun anymore.

I published my first blog article a few days ago! It talks about politics in videogames.

Come check it out and take a look at my site. You can also try a game that I'm working on, in very-early-not-yet-ready-to-be-played-really-alpha version.

I was looking for a software to make some pixel art for a game I'm developing and I found this one here: Pixelorama, on Itch https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama

It's pretty awesome, I love it!

Looks like the PSN is reenacting the events from 2011.

I mostly play on PC these days so it doesn't affect me too much but still...

Some highlights from my Steam Wishlist

The one that says "unavailable item" is Grand Theft Auto

Also, when Rocket League became an Epic Store exclusive, free-to-play game, it stopped being displayed in my wishlist but it came back the other day, for some reason.

Back in February I showed something I was working on for the NES. Turns out I gave that up because it was unstable and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

So what I did is I started doing that game in Godot instead. Here's a screenshot of my (crude) WIP with placeholders:
