Hello bluesky, I have been convinced (it didn't take much)
Here's a little look at Polyfury: my highly accessible bullet hell. Face the fury of the Seven Deadly Shapes and blast your way through their barrage of bullets & lasers, on Steam and Xbox!

I love @freya.bsky.social 's shapes so much, and now I have fancy non-destructive corner rounding for polylines 😁 now all I need to do is work out how to round the end caps

A self professed "expert developer" submitted a wholly AI generated game to this year's bullet hell jam. Apparently it took them two hours, so I responded with my own two hour effort 😂 compare and contrast.

Show off your indie dev skills at BULLET HELL JAM 6! About a week left to cram as many projectiles into a small game as you can. The theme this year is "UNSTABLE". Dangerous glitches and random elements! 😱😵💫

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.
The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

Inaccessibility for colourblindness is caused by design choices. A design issue, not an engineering issue. The fix is design choices, not engineering workarounds.
Filters are inherently exclusionary, they aren't the answer. Fix the design instead of trying to fix people's eyes.

Naming things is one of the worst parts of game dev, and now I have to name another human?! My toddler's suggestion for the new baby's name is "scrambled egg", and at this point I'm tempted 😂

A thread about my adventures trying to be creative with ai! It's no secret that I hate it. I think ingesting as much content as possible to automate creative jobs is reprehensible. AI art is a scourge. AI code makes developers more stupid. AI writing is boring. AI search makes stuff up. 🧵1/7
