some #gamedev stuff cuz it's been a while!

I've been finetuning some of the visuals and adding animations/lighting/post processing to this room specifically!

Also programmed functional notifications for when you have new emails/forum threads to investigate :3c #NQB8 #solodev #indiegamedev

That is, it's not "good faith discussion" to harass and dogpile people until they engage with your "arguments"

Amber Avara @ambattii.bsky.social · 5h

I think about the term "sealioning" a lot and how I think it represents a lot of why I'm finding myself less and less interested in social media (at least text based) in the modern era. I love conversating with people in good faith; many people do not know how to do that anymore

As someone who has had a couple of things go ~*viral*~, some for good and some for bad reasons: when things get a certain amount of traction, I straight up don't see/read the majority of things coming in. Esp when hate is involved. On YT, I don't even check my held comments anymore 4 mental health

Something I think is interesting is that people online seem to think that their comments/voices are always REQUIRED to be responded to/heard and if they are not, they are being personally silenced and attacked

I've always said that the best circumstance for my productivity is an empty calendar sldfkhsfdhl I love just being able to focus on getting something done for 8+ hours with no interruptions

Amber Avara @ambattii.bsky.social · 13h

Sometimes being the kind of person who likes to hyperfocus on one work task for a long time is a blessing and a curse... On one hand, I've made a huge amount of progress on my game in the last few weeks. On the other hand, I can't break myself away to work on other stuff I wanna do slfhksflkh

I also am very partial to shlocky UFO "documentaries" even if they're obviously over-sensationalized because they're charming in their schlock LOL

Amber Avara @ambattii.bsky.social · 6d

every few years i go through a "watch documentaries in the BG while I work" phase and I always love when I get in these moods cuz I love LEARNING about RANDOM STUFF

Watched this video this morning and wanted to share it because I think the author does a really good job capturing the issues surrounding trying to discuss media critically or analytically today youtu.be/zWRlzYGTpKs?...

I have been really hauling butt on my game the last few weeks bcuz I've felt really inspired and I need to break myself away to make my next video but it's hard cuz I'm having a lot of programming breakthroughs and I don't wanna lose my flow sdflkhsfd

it is incredible how much happier I get as soon as the fall threshhold passes... the temp is cooler, more rain, shorter days... I think I have the reverse of seasonal depression LOL

Amber Avara @ambattii.bsky.social · 19d

something that's fun about programming for my game is learning a new method/tool that improves how I tackle issues... the less fun part is realizing I should go back and update/redo some of my scripts with said improved scripting sdflkhfsdsd
