Took me a while to find it, but I finally added all the retroslop tags to my muted tags list. Probably gonna have to expand it more as I run into more outliers, but hooray for filtering out retroslop!!!

If you want a game where you can build Starships, I'm working on a game called Neogalactal. It's a multi-crew starship simulator inspired by Bridge Commander, Elite Force 2, STO, and PULSAR Lost Colony. The ships are fully modular. Here's footage of our first ship module randomizer test.

This is why I don't do unibody ships. Modular bits look so much better 🙄

I had a fit of manic #gamedev energy today and ended up hammering out a few things for #neogalactal!

-Added a #dev #console that (mostly) works.
-Added a #freecam
-Added a sun sphere to the sunlight. Ships no longer look lit by unseen studio lights.
-Added sun rotation.

Feeling proud of myself!

Tried adding camera collision, ended up adding a fly glitch instead. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #scifi #scifigame #scifigames #startrek #startrekinspired #spacegame #spacegameunity #neogalactal #unity #unity3d #unityengine

Progress so far:

-Extremely early FishNet demo implemented.

-Basic teleporting implemented

-RoomVolumes implemented

-RoomVolume-based MeshRenderer culling implemented

-New WIP bridge blockout (yes, another one.)

Still so much more to do, but I'm never gonna stop.

Yeah so nobody helped with this and I had to resort to drastic measures. But fuck it, it works correctly now.

My dumbass forgot to upload the code snippet. My apolocheese. Still, please help. New Star Trek-inspired game in the works, really need the ships to feel convincing.

UNITY DEV CHALLENGE:

Correct this code snippet so that the exterior view is accurately represented from the perspective of the interior when exterior rotates off-axis.

(Please help. This is driving me insane.)

Threw together an STO-sized transporter pad for shits and giggles. Might end up as a character creator/customizer screen.

Did an engineering blockout today, alongside my first ever cargo cube model. The engineering blockout is giving "RBMK Reactor Pit" vibes, and I don't like it.

Motherfuckers will think of ANY reason to ban you i swear to god. I think the most offensive thing I said in this exchange was that end users have the final say, and that if a company fucks something up, the end users are fully within their rights to fix it themselves. Fuckin bootlickers, man...

Watch my shitty unity starship tech demo blow the entirety of No Man's Sky out of the water by doing the seemingly impossible:

Diving under the ocean.

@HelloGames I'll take my senior dev position and my paycheck to-go, thanks.

I gotta get something off my chest.

I'm tired of all these fucking rules.

Hey internet. I'm wyrm, and this is a rant. I'm... so tired. I love video games, I love making art, I love making music, I love digital creative/escapism stuff in general. But I feel like every single one of these communities has become toxic to the point of me not being able to participate because I'm immediately censored. And it's not like I want to go around spouting Nazi propaganda or touting Far Right Conspiracy Theories or anything. I'm not even one of those people who gets verbally abusive in voice chat. You wanna know what my terrible crime is in all these communities? All. The fucking. Rules. Seriously. No matter where I go, there's this mentality of "we all do things this way so you should too", with absolutely no room for experimentation or deviation. Every game that can be played as a Creative Mode Star Trek Simulator (my all-time favorite genre) ends up with almost the entire community playing it as a Hardcore Survival Mode NASA Simulator (a genre I hate with a burning passion.) I feel isolated and alone, because I can't seem to find any multiplayer communities that even ALLOW my playstyle, let alone people in those communities that match it. I don't enjoy grinding, dying repeatedly, or otherwise "struggling" to "overcome" an obstacle. I literally just want to fuck around and find out. I like messing with physics glitches, sequence breaking, boundary breaking, and basically doing anything I can to gain more control over the simulation. I've always loved watching YouTube channels where the creators just do a bunch of silly improv shit in multiplayer games for 20 minutes, but they're so far and few between that it feels like the community doesn't even exist. When other people play Space Engineers, they start in a drop pod in survival mode and mine for resources. They refine those resources, assemble them into components, and weld components to blocks to build them. Rinse and repeat for building a habitat, a miner, a big ship, an asteroid base, etc When I play Space Engineers, I install 86 mods, spawn a 1km diamater moon, build a flying plank with 5000+ nuclear missile launchers, aim it at the moon, set it as a station, set the shield generators properly, and then fire all of those launchers at the same time. The sim speed instantly tanks, the moon is engulfed in white light for about 5 minutes, my laptop's fans SCREAM for mercy, and when it's over, the moon has a giant gash in it. Rinse and repeat until the moon is gone and I've got a gravity bubble. Rinse and repeat THAT WHOLE PROCESS about 30 times to have a relatively large FTL-proof base surrounded by overlapping 1km gravity bubbles. When other people play Star Trek Online, they grind TFOs, play new story missions, and replay old ones for repeat rewards. (These missions are divided into sub-chapters that are usually between 30-45 mins of gameplay each). They do R&D to craft new items, respec their characters, and create entire separate characters specifically for mining dilithium to send to their mains. When I play Star Trek Online, you never see me. Ever. Because I'm using an engine-level positional overestimation glitch to break out of bounds. Always. I watch from behind the walls. I defeat the forced return triggers. I make the ESD shuttlebay MY BITCH. It's more fun than all that boring grindy shit. Like water and alcohol; We may look similar, we may even be indistinguishable to the naked eye. But one of us will burn if set aflame, and one will not, because we are fundamentally not the same. I'm tired of having to water myself down just to play with others. I crave chaos. I crave ANARCHY. I crave "GTA V Multiplayer Modding" levels of freedom, and statistically/mathematically speaking, I find it incredibly difficult to believe that I'm the only one. Gaming anarchy communities, where you at?

From all the cats hovering above all the polluted cities across the alpha quadrant, thank you. Both for your environmental contributions as well as for the endless hours of fun I had bypassing your invisible walls and making your forced return triggers freak out.

Tell your successor I say hello 😈

I was in a one-sided war against you because of the invisiwalls. Every time you'd patch a weak spot, I'd find a new one the next day. I'm proud to say you lost, but I'm sad to see you go. Even though you never knew this little game of cat and mouse was afoot, thank you for playing.

I dunno about everyone else, but I couldn't focus on my studies at the academy with all those people around. Had to get some space to think about quantum energy fluctuations.

Always wanted to say this to you but I figured you'd never see it.

Skilled enviro design artist with 20 yrs of experience in the cryptic engine vs one stubborn girl who hates rules and restrictions.

Who won? 🖤

Honestly, it's so hard to maintain motivation for developing games when literally everything you touch seems to break. THIS is what's been happening every time I try to register for Wordpress. I literally just want to create a cool little showcase of my projects :/ I guess it's back to Neocities...
