Here is my in-game profiler.
It's very useful to quickly find and fix inefficiencies. I recently implemented zoom to cursor, and it's a joy to use now. Another handy feature is CTRL-click on a profiler marker to jump to the code location.

🚨 "The Making of Double Fine's Keeper" is now available! 🚨
Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊

If you are familiar with Reply All, but have no yet listened to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, listeners are saying the latest episode is a “banger”. You should maybe give it a shot.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

Yeah, we only had 1 week of break between AI crawler attacks. This one is even hungrier than the last one.

A bit technical thread 🧵
I’ve been improving the in-game ambient occlusion system - and ended up with something I call:
Blob-based Analytical Ambient Occlusion on Primitives
Here’s what it does to the final image:

Very cool to see Eike's progress on his project, and the sheer speed at which he's working. Also I find impressive how the smooth web build is. Try it!
This is 8-bitBot: A programming puzzle game that I am working on and aiming to release in December.
There is much to do still, but it is coming nicely along so far.
Steam wishlisting: store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/...
Playable demo on my website (a bit outdated): quakatoo.com/projects/cod...

I love watching playtests, listening to them apologize for being bad at a game they've played for literally 1 minute, then watching them almost immediately proceed to do the sickest shit by sheer force of will.

Automatically adding metadata to struct members upon saving!
This works on top of a custom build system that watches for file changes, then parses the structs in the file to generate reflection data.
Now it also inserts code in the source file. Feels kind of forbidden, but also feels nice!
