I didn't realize when I posted but today's conversation might have been sparked by the exact same person. Ha ha. Maybe a galaxy brain marketing technique.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 22h

But at least it internationalizes better.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 23h

Yeah, I think we can all support each other and hope we can all grow together.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 23h

Honestly, I posted and then someone told me the conversation started from Mike's post and I had no idea. Ha ha. I wasn't specifically talking about him just the general trend I see of the people who give the least complaining the most that they don't get enough.

Even tiny creators can make good content that people find. Or they can play in a way that helps our design process or let's us know an idea is resonating and we can lean into it. Or they can tell even one other person about it. There's so much value so don't sell yourself short.

I dunno. I think it's fine to support someone when you think they're good and change your perspective when you learn otherwise. I get where you're coming from, though.

To be fair, when I said it, I didn't know who started the conversation today so hopefully they don't think I'm calling them out specifically. It's just something I see a lot in all communities, people who only take and give nothing and constantly complain they don't get enough.

These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

Yeah. I'm not a very loud person so I wish I did more to help, but I am so grateful for every person who has helped get the word out about Mythmatch. And I follow their other work and see what else their excellent taste has found. :)

HOT TAKE: Sometimes, I feel like the people saying this mean why isn't anyone with lots of power covering my game. When smaller folks ARE covering indie games and you're not uplifting them. You just want others to lift you up without giving back to the community.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

Maybe I'll roll around in the garden for a bit before my next post.

Does AI need to train more on my nose? Surely it'd want some fingers in there.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 4d

Ha ha. My whole life, I have had the opinion that nobody wants to see me. But on TikTok, if I do pure gameplay, it gets nothing for views and sometimes, my face gets a few more, but still not a lot. Ha ha.

But maybe if I zoom EVEN CLOSER....

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 4d

This is what happens when you realize your TikToks do better if they start uncomfortably close to your face. 😂

Has anyone ever opened Davinci Resolve and not had an update available?

There's just kind of a meme where people will write code where it calls lerp(a, b, .05) each frame and it explodes as the framerate changes.

But then people write lerp(a, b, .05 * time_step) and that is also wrong where you have to really do lerp(a, b, pow(1-.05, time_step)) or something.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 7d

I was also mostly joking and saying random words. Ha ha. I'm not sticking to any strict definitions of anything here.

Tweens only work between two fixed positions. You can use lerps to handle interpolations while the target is still moving.

Did you factor in your time step?

Thank you!! The wonderful work of @tinystorm.bsky.social!

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 7d

Thank you!! Yeah, I hope I'm not delusional, but I think people who try it generally enjoy it. But I am really struggling to get people to even try the demo. But it's getting better... slowly. Ha ha.

Thanks for playing!!

And it's done! The Mythmatch Demo is also updated to deal with the Unity security vulnerabilities announced today.

So what a perfect time to give it a go!

I promise people tell me it's really fun!

And look at Cerberus's adorable little faces!
