If you haven't checked it out, the game I worked on for the past 3 years or so was released last week. Very proud of the game we made and more eyes on it would always be nice.
We've had a bit of a rocky launch due to some performance bits which have now been mostly patched out, check it out tho!

Made a little entry to the @ludumdare.com game jam over the weekend with @thorpalsson.bsky.social @hurpno.bsky.social
And some great music and sounds from Meithius. If you are into bizarre horroresque games, give it a try!

I try not to think about how many things I create with the prefix "Temp" that end up being a permanent fixture

Are those bunnies killable though, making all of them visible for a short time and seeing the entire thing fall apart once you start culling critters would make for an interesting day

Ástráður (Ace) @anchry.bsky.social · Mar 2

hell yeah, well deserved!

Ástráður (Ace) @anchry.bsky.social · Feb 24

it does become somewhat easier to stop playing eventually. And by eventually I mean after you have done literally everything in the game like I did.. And I still like to pick it up just to drive around really, the vibes are just too good

1. Starting with Lord of the Clans I believe, read plenty more after that

Ástráður (Ace) @anchry.bsky.social · Dec 13

But I only made the really cool parts, not the parts you hate. If you hate any part of the game it was actually @grobnoth.bsky.social that did those parts

Have you tried deleting your shader cache? Often bloats up it seems and causes this issue ProjectName/Library/ShaderCache.db

Ástráður (Ace) @anchry.bsky.social · Dec 4

That sounds like a reasonable response to that situation

In Iceland we still actively use the word Þing(Thing) but it's used for very specific err.. things. Sounds incredibly awkward in this context
