Seems like a good time to reintroduce myself to newcomers!

Hi, I'm a hobbyist gamedev that do things with adaptive music, sound-design, and procedural generation. My games are free, shorts, and focused on small interactions.
I also make videos, sometimes.

Mon conseil santé : arrêtez de suivre les lives sur la situation politique en France. C’est consternant, anxiogène, exaspérant. Et savoir avant tout le monde ce que Macron N’A PAS DIT à Braun-Pivet ne vous apportera rien à part des crampes d’estomac.

Live Le Monde : « EN DIRECT, crise politique : Emmanuel Macron n’a pas évoqué la dissolution avec les présidents des deux Chambres du Parlement, assure Yaël Braun-Pivet »

And if you want to learn it, it has a handy page that showcases nearly all of its features. As you can see, it requires only a single line of code for most of actions. #webdev

If you want to see the lib in action, check out my latest game Starseed Harmonies! It's an adaptive song made of dozens of tracks that you arrange while playing.

Managing the music and timing aspect was made easy with Orchestre-JS.

What changes from 2.x is that the lib is now a bit more opinionated. Players behave by default like how you would expect from a music player, with absolute positioning.

For most usages, this should make the configuration less verbose, and easier to learn.

I just released Orcheste-JS 3.0!
Orchestre-JS is the tool I use in my web musical projects to manage adaptive music. It's very intuitive and easy to set up, and quite versatile in the possibilities it offers.

Today I release the Beta of Starseed Harmonies! A musical garden that holds many secrets. itooh.itch.io/starseed-har...

One of my most ambitious work in term of adaptive music. And its game-design around secrets is satisfying to work on. I hope they'll be as exciting to find! #gamedev #web

Honorable mentions though for pypeek and gifile, which also have great UX and allow to edit the result. But sadly they don't propose scaling.
Also Kooha seemed promising, but I couldn't make it work.

Itooh @itooh.bsky.social · 12d

Once again I went on a quest to find a good GIF recorder for Linux. After trying several one, it just appear that peek (despite being deprecated) is still the best one.
Easy to use, but also the cleanest and lightest results, and with a scale option. None of the other tools were that great. #gamedev

We need to hold people accountable. That means real justice. The pursuit and dissemination of truth. Fair trials. *Punishment*. Restitution. Incarceration. We need to handle humans like humans. We can't think of people as less-than and use that to justify cruelty.

After I watched this show, I came away with the realization that no matter how grotesque or unconscionable an act a person commits is, they are still *human*. I can hate what a person promotes or stands for, but I can't consider them less-than- or non-human.

Reminding folks to watch the anime 86, which continues to be an incredibly relevant examination of the harms of dehumanization. We see a lot of this happen in class and race rhetoric ("these people aren't human, they're animals, they're monsters"), which they use to justify human rights violations.

🎃 Darke & Stormy Night ⛈️ @darkesword.com · Apr 19

The premise: a country passes a law that classifies anyone who doesn’t meet specific appearance criteria (skin, eyes, hair, etc) as non-human and sends them off to pilot mechs in a brutal war. Because the soldiers are “non-human,” the mechs are “unmanned” and the populace’s conscience is clear.

Hey, do you need virtual music instruments in your #Godot game? Then you should try Simple Sampler! An addon that only takes a few sample sounds to create dynamic instruments that can play any notes.

I've just released v2.2.0, that now allows positional sound. #gamedev

Was reminded of this interaction i had with a commission scammer 2 years ago where they were pretending they could make custom 3D models

Me: "so what's the polycount?"
Scammer: "Do you elaborate plz"
Me: "you're a 3d animator and you don't know what 'polycount' means?"
Me: "how many polygons are on the model?"
Scammer: "three"
