I recently got to play Spyro for the first time. The Professor's pencil mission in the second game just reminded me of the Spongebob scene and made me laugh, so I'm gonna go with that! 😂

Was scrolling my TL at like mach 5 when I saw Spyro for a frame, recognized the art style immediately, then had to go back for him! 😂

I don't do a ton of gamedev posts but this got me particularly proud of what I was able to do.
This bad guy concept was just a few sketches about 2 days ago... now he's alive in-engine. I'm getting faster! 🥲

When I was in my last quarter of uni, I alternated playing a lot of Lil' Gator Game and SNES Pilotwings to unwind... in both games I got to smash stuff!! 😂

I'm glad you think so! I was running into coding glitches and my brain hurt from coding so drawing Sheza Kong turned into a fun brain break 🍌(I eventually figured out the glitches and fixed them after, too)

The game can only handle 8 unique palettes at a time. When they're all used new objects have to share.

When the keg spawns, all 8 are full:

1.) Ellie & water HUD 2.) Bananas 3.) Nibbla 4.) Booty Bird 5.) Buzz 6.) Barrels 7.) Hit star gfx and 8.) Water splash

Day 98 of #DonkeyKong art: The World of Light is Blinding. #AltersDoodleTag

King K. Rool, with a Smash invitation in his hand, walking off and waving goodbye to Krusha and Klump.
Klump: Bye, Your Majesty!
Krusha: BYYYEEE
K. Rool: After a while, crocodiles! I'll be back when I've kicked every butt!

Krusha and Klump stare happily at their departing King, although Klump looks like his smile is forced. After a moment he becomes worried.
Klump: You think he'll be ok?
Krusha (with his arm around Klump komfortingly): Don't be silly. It's just some tournament. He's been through a lot worse!

Text box that says "Soon".
K. Rool getting absolutely vaporized into dust by Galeem's light.

The imaginary number in question:

Errors for days after giving the camera imaginary numbers as parameters

I'd imagine that fired cannonballs would have been coded to activate the canon as a design feature (though I don't think this is used in the final game?) Looks like the code ASSUMES the fired object is always a cannonball. Maybe when this feature was coded, Kannon could only fire cannonballs...? 🤔

Me: How come I'm getting an error when I set the variable to this here square root of a negative number?

Computer: It's imaginary.

Me: Don't be ridiculous - I know an error when I see one...

I'm Courtney/Alter. In this pinned post and its replies you can find some of my links and things I'm most proud of.

Currently in the midst of a standalone side-story about pirate salamanders and castaway zombies.

Artsy minimal-color illustration of Captain Goldgills, the star of Heir of Silverskull, the story currently running on our webcomic site.
