Very satisfying to dust off the neglected Lofi camera project. Some repairs are successful and one is getting a brain transplant to a new MCU. #maker #arduino #picpico #pixelcamera

It's been a while... Just a little test to dust off the cobwebs. Very satisfying. #astrophotography #messier #clearskies

The awkward moment when you fundamentally change your game camera after more than 2 years of intense rule following. Nearly time for an updated screen shot and trailer!

Its been a hell of a journey on the move from unity!

I just love downsampled colours to 24bit. Banding all day long please. Gives me those 90s vibes I used to love as a teenager. #godotengine #gamedev #turisstation

The wizards put up a spirited argument for the overpriced avocado. The last of its kind and the only one to be pulled from the cosmic flow. #turisstation #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Hugo Brandy is not sure about this holotype. That's too much tache for a helmet. #turisstation #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

A fancy synthetic being gives Hugo Brandy a good stare aboard the transit Mona Lisa transport system.

One year ago, I officially switched from Unity to Godot. To mark my one year Godotversary, here's a little retrospective thread of a few high-level learnings. Hopefully it'll be helpful for some folks who are thinking of making the switch. Also, AMA! 👇

Working on a racing game, using splines with an interpretation of flowfields for general navigation and track data to drive the ai car rigs. Can't decide if I've made an over complicated mess, or super cool efficient code. Either way it looks pretty. 💥💥🤯 #gamedev #indiedev #impostersyndrome

I always think back to the 90s and how boundless all this felt. There was a promise of true agency, slowly eroded.

Awesome video and a pretty perfect response example!

Charles Gershom @charlesgershom.com · Nov 26

I skimmed it, it looks interesting. Especially for another option of data identity and ownership. I think your skill set might understand it more than me! 😀

I was going to ask if you'd had a poke at the underlying ATprotocol. There does look like some familiar concepts there. I'm curious to see how how it can be used for general identity + data

Since a lot of gamedevs are coming across to Bluesky, here's a reminder that my sound effect tool ChipTone is good! And free! And runs right in the browser!
