Started implementing spell mutators today! Mutators are extra effects that can change the way a spell works. It can be subtle, or not so subtle.

Today let's demonstrate modifying the Cone spell to utilize the "Prismatic" mutator, which will randomize the element of each shot!

Every time I enter the loading screen for the Delian Tomb in the Draw Steel Codex, I lose myself in the artwork.

@hellomcdm.bsky.social have truly knocked it out of the park with this piece!

There’s a small bit of RNG that will slightly dictate your path through a given run, but what I love about it besides the atmosphere is how quickly you can beat the game if you know what you’re doing! The following games weren’t as good (but the chase themes all slap)

Yes! Directed by Juzo Itami, who also gave us Tampopo~

Have you ever played the original Clock Tower? It got a remaster on Switch recently. That’s my favorite horror game ever.

If you want something a little different, Sweet Home on NES is a horror JRPG by the OG Resident Evil devs.

Siren is a novel one for its unique camera system.

This rain effect is so good…are you using two different GPUParticle systems for the drops and splashes, respectively?

I got a little taste of packets when trying to write face tracking modules that receive values from an external camera and sending them to avatar blendshapes in a vtubing app (SnekStudio).

Definitely was a “imma fight networking” -> “damn, networking got hands” moment

Omg this is huge thank you

I remember learning how to make these in Blender using curve modifiers for an art nouveau-esque project once… somethin about the free flowing feel of it while also feeling out the organic patterns underpinning the process… they’re just the best

Networking seems really scary Dx I’ll have to touch it one day, but it feels daunting!

As I think more on this upcoming talk centered around careers in games, there’s a reoccurring sentiment:

My path in life is built upon the joy and wonder that games gave me as a child.

And if, despite the crushing awareness I have for this industry, I can pass on that spark…that’s a total victory.

During stream I created some icons to go with some of the enemy behaviors I've been programming.

This one with the hilariously bad moai statue is supposed to be "set enemy facing to current target" but instead it looks like something a mercenary would put on the side of a mobile suit

my crude attempt at making a moai face with vector art and there's a crosshair to the top right of it

im sorry if you cant see it; its glorious and defies description so just know that I love you, personally

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I remember a small jam title my friends and I made went viral because a single YouTuber (ManlyBadassHero) played it. I don’t hate the streamers, I just hate that this is where we are in general.

Phanterm @phanterm.bsky.social · 8d

I love that, because that’s exactly what I’d say. There will be at least one slide in my talk dedicated to saying “under no circumstances should you ever pursue a game design degree” 🫣

Phanterm @phanterm.bsky.social · 8d

Excited to be giving a talk on careers in the game industry at Northeast State Community Colllege in November!

Now I just have to try not to scare the hell out of everyone looking to work in this field.

But there must be some amount of hell-scaring, you understand. It’s only honest.

OK BUT I just used existing code to create nav mesh chunks! I didn’t (thankfully) have to write a new pathfinding system or anything 💦
