A bit more involved this one (so I had to throw it on YouTube), I am onto the polishing stage of this prototype. I am hoping to release something for people to play around the 21st Feb.

Working on my AM Radio Simulation. Spent forever getting the modelling done (a few graphical errors need cleaning up). Getting there :D
what do you think?

Fellow gamedevs, which image do you think is scariest and why (or if none of them, why)?

Now with a waveform B]

Excited to show off my AM Radio Simulator that I built in #unity
I am planning on turning this into some sort of #horror concept. All the tuning is simulated.

Anyone familiar with GDExtension in #godot?
Trying to get it to work with custom resource loading, but cannot fathom what is wrong. Any tips?

It's almost new year here in Blighty, you know... The place with the bell tower that goes bong?
I'm just excited to hear the tower Bong, it's what all British people yearn for.
A Happy New Year to all the #gamedev and #indiedev, I hope in 2025 your #indiegame gets the attention it deserves :)

Reading Moby Dick - so far, what a wonderfully weird novel.
I like to engage with media outside of #indiegame as I feel that's a good way to learn new ideas and philosophies and grow as an artist.
What do others look to for inspiration, I wonder?

Any other #gamedev get inspired by things you've experienced in your life - jobs, people, activities?
Who doesn't love meetings about meetings, or the obligatory Christmas party? A few ideas there...
Or maybe a glitter cleaning simulator? It would never end.

I hit a milestone #gamedev regarding my next game, and just before Christmas too. So... I have to try and do this thing called "relax" which I'm not really sure how to do or what it is. Is it like, an API?.. a toolset?.. a typed dialect of Lua?
Life is weird.

I've been told many many times to play #OFF and now I can, as apparently it will be released on Switch - so I get to purify from the comfort of my own bed.
(I have played the first 10 minutes of the original and it is definitely my thing)

Thanks to #indiedev, I am divided between #godot, #gamemaker, and #unity for what to use on shorter-form and free #gamedev ideas.
At this point, any will satisfy my requirements, but leaning towards Unity (because of the web app). Things will be 2D, but spoofing 2D in 3D is a better.
Thoughts?
