In my new mobile project, I'm experimenting with a prototype where the character's steps can be taken by the player using just taps.

After the most recent visual pass, Marble Game slowly starts to feel like that magical toy that allows you to build the marble machine of your dreams.

I still don't know if anyone will end up enjoying it... but I still do my best to make it a reality.

I'm kinda glad I basically only use quaternions anymore.

What even are they talking about???

Note to self - when you make a game with a fire spread mechanic, let players know they can extinguish said fire

All that and more in the short post-mortem I wrote for Before the Ash, my new city builder jam-game!

Being an #indiedev is like...

Early draft of the route planning overlay. Ships will follow paths randomly between the planets. Routes will be directional and constrained to certain kinds of cargo.

After a while, ships will break down, drifting aimlessly through space. Later in the game, you can unlock a recyling unit to salvage parts from the drifting debris.

Planets have limited input and output slots. For each transport connection, the frequency needs to match the available capacities to prevent delays.

Whoops, that's an oversight. Apparently I didn't prevent unpausing on a game over, so you can just kind of say "Actually, no." and just keep going... lol
Also I have weapon upgrades working now so that's neat

I am never going to complain about Godot's API and GDscript ever again! Blender's Python API has cured me. I have seen things...

A simple but handy plugin for picking icon textures from theme resources. You can easily use them anywhere you want and they will be automatically updated whenever you change your theme.

Making it public soon.

The wait for Godot (4.5 that is) just got a bit shorter, with the release of Godot 4.5 dev2.

This is a new feature release leading up to Godot 4.5 beta and in this video, we go hands-on with most of the new features.

Red Rogue Sea is one high up on my wishlist! After being completely hooked by FTL: Faster Than Light when it originally released, I'm always keen to see more like it and now a demo is available.

Planets consume and produce stuff that needs to be moved around. Most automation games I know have fixed production rates that can be balanced with the inputs needed elsewhere. My planets will be unpredictable in their production frequency, taming the chaos will be the game's main challenge.

I had done some experiments with procedural animation before, using #QuarkPhysics — this was one of them.
Took a break after that, but now I’m diving back into procedural animation for a new project.
Let’s see where it goes.

Hey I'm still looking for work.
I've applied to a lot of places in my area and I'm getting nothing.

I'm a programmer at heart, but I've also been looking for regular entry-level jobs because there haven't been any coding positions open at my level as far as I could tell.

If you can offer me a job, it might save my butt. And if you can't offer me a job, could you at least share this post?

I live 30 minutes away from Bellevue if that helps.
