unfortunately I'm using my own engine so playstation might be a while off (have to port to PSGL or whatever it is they use, heard nobody can really say because people are under NDA)

Actually mixed from mixamo and a bunch of royalty free asset packs I bought. Had to do some timing modulation to make the dances a bit more like the tiktok meme though

custom engine with c++/opengl and it won't be ever on github, sorry. having said that you can definitely do this look on unity/godot (not as sure about unreal because of how much its geared to real-like aesthetics I could be wrong though)

could have been a "sell unit" button but.. #gamedev #indiedev

I actually did it with adding to drawlists for a bit until I realize these juiced buttons are only one per screen and can just manually use opengl (I have text components that reuse imgui's font atlas) which lets me also do further excessive juicing in the future

shingpapi @shingpapi.bsky.social · Jul 4

only devs would appreciate this but, presenting, the world's juiciest dear imgui buttons. if you check hover state of buttons the sky's your limit with juicing these.. #gamedev #indiedev

haven't thought about that too much, probably really hard to do given it's also a byproduct of rendering things at an extremely low resolution in the first place (I don't downscale at all). Kinda also the reason why my fan never spins when I run these, unlike some other games I play

I was more thinking of the gacha game that's apparently making the rounds everywhere

thank you as always for this great UI library, I have some imgui related posts coming (I juiced my imgui a little too much, maybe to the detriment of performance too but hey)

I tried to uh.. make her look like one of them princesses from a certain big media company but my spaghetti hair tech can't do braids yet so she ends up looking more like a nun #gamedev #indiedev

are those unity options and godot retained mode UI, as opposed to immediate mode? Might not be apparent from my screenshot but I'm using mostly imgui with some extra custom text rendering, been getting away with it (and probably will all the way to release too)

thanks, will see if I can have a chat and ask how they went with it

My plan: collate them, and then prompt chatgpt to choose one and filter out the bad translations. I've tried with an example test and it seems to work fine

shingpapi @shingpapi.bsky.social · Jun 23

has any games done this - let users write in crowdsourced localizations, and collate it in a central server? trying to think of ways this can go wrong #gamedev #indiedev

it's just that imgui renders in immediate mode and buttons are laid out and put into the draw buffer immediately from left to right. When I want to align things on the right I have to offset manually last I tried. Having said that I have tricks for alignment which I haven't done because lazy
