Daniel Knightley - Stop calling it content 🪲 @danielknightley.bsky.social · Nov 13
🪲 Hello everybody, I am Daniel and I make [stuff]!

The specifics of that statement vary from year to year, but currently, my [stuff] is the #OrichalchumCup, a prototype miniature tabletop game with card game elements. 🎲

I love talking shop, so reach out! ⚒️👨‍🔧✂️

For older stuff, check this thread🧵
An image of a wyvern spreading its wings and blowing fire, seen from the back in birds eye view. It is colored in shades of orange and yellow with shadows in blue and purple. There is a large explosion in the center of the image, with smoke and debris flying out in all directions. Behind the explosion, 3 characters can be faintly seen, likely fighting off the wyvern. The drawing is done in a cartoon style with simple lines and shapes. The colors are bright and vibrant. The image is full of energy and movement. A bright green wyvern with orange wings and a metallic cyborg head. The Beast is chained to the ground, and he is roaring at a bystander. It is drawn in a cartoon style with simple lines and shapes. A photo of 3 character cards from a tabletop game. They are laid out horizontally across a pencil case. Each card features a cartoon character, a title, a description and a set of Statistics. The characters are drawn in a stylized manner with exaggerated features and bright colors. The pencil case shows 12 colored pencils available for the drawing. A photo of a 3D printed wyvern standing on 3 hexagon tiles. It's low quality suggest it's a test print. It is missing a lot of features seen in the drawings, such as teeth and definition on the body. It is standing on a blue cutting mat.

Browsing back through my media tab;
I knew I take my time for all projects, but seeing I started this Emblem Board 9 months ago and I still haven't finished it is a lot to take in.

I wonder if I'll have the chance to finish it before it hits it's first anniversary.

Welp reading all this hardware news makes it absolutely clear that I have to take good care of my 10 year old little gaming laptop, because a hardware upgrade of a similar price point won't be happening in the next 5 years.

Some days you just have to step away from the computer.

Nobody told me 8x8px sprites were this much of a puzzle.
Maybe I have to upgrade to 16x16 for the logo, just to make my life a bit easier and allow for a bit more detail and readability.

Maybe if I lie hard enough, I can bullshit investors into thinking I do all my things with AI, and gather enough funds to start an indie production studio.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

i know i should use tags more but it feels so bad having to shove it into the body of a post, especially one that already has an extremely limited character count.

Good news: We have obtained the clearest ever image of a black hole!
Bad news: The Sun is gone.
A serene landscape looking over a river. In the background, behind the mountains, an enormous black hole looms where the Sun should be.

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky
infographic: "whoa there, pardner!" a fake bluesky DM i sent myself as an example says: "hi can u please not repost your own art so much. it's literally murder and oppression and hate crime that sometimes i have to scroll past things i've already seen". a displeased cowboy emoji is giving this message a thumbs down. infographic info continues: 'round these parts we curate our own timelines! if you don't want to see a post again, open the meatball menu and click "hide post for me." now you don't have to see it and no one has to feel bad!" (the cowboy emoji is now giving you a thumbs up. off to the side, there's a screenshot of the aforementioned menu with the relevant buttons circled in blue.)

So anyway, then I started making an IRC client in Godot.

It works pretty well, and godot's UI features will probably make the interface a breeze. With fancy theming options? And RichTextLabels allowing me to do all the fancy features modern users have come to expect!
func _ready() -> void: var client:IRCClient = IRCClient.new() add_child(client) # Yes, I could absolutely make helper functions for these commands. client.pre_register.connect(func() -> void: client.send("USER Godot hostname servername :Real Name") client.send("NICK Godot") ) client.connected.connect(func() -> void: client.send("JOIN #thefusion") )

"This game bombed, I feel sorry for [artists]"

"Why? They got paid."

I hate this comment so much. It's rooted in the same complete lack of understanding value in creating. Expression means you speak. You want it seen. Especially if you have something to say.

This is the same lack of respect as AI

The internet is already filled with soulless garbage articles, soulless garbage videos and soulless garbage 'art' ever since the AI boom. Unity wants to fill it with soulless garbage games too.

Stop using Unity, I say. #gamedev
