mastodon 4.7.2Hobbyist game developer and oldhead nerd. I work and play in Godot, C, C++ and Lua. Certified King of the Kobolds.
Found another old Game Maker (5 or 6), almost 20 years ago, tentatively titled "Berzerk X". The robot sprites were made in Doga CGA, a Japanese 3D modelling program that mostly consisted of prefab spaceship parts. Background/wall sprites were from a site called molotov.ru that now seems to be something else.
Now that I'm picking up gamedev again I kind of want to finish some of these. Or at least put the code up somewhere for people to laugh at.
@dbat@mastodon.gamedev.place The thing is, what makes youtube suck isn't the algorithm, it's the way Google optimizes the algorithm.
You can have recommendation algorithms that aren't evil but it's a weird social panic we're in right now.
A fedi site that backed up the good stuff from youtube would be nice though.
@psychicparrot42@mastodon.gamedev.place This is now the protagonist of the low-poly retro boomer shooter you must create. You must create Lamp Game.

🤔 I should finish a tilemap in C. I never finished that.
🤔 🤔I'm gonna want to use SDL's geometry API instead of the standard renderer.
🤔🤔🤔 I'm gonna need a sprite packer so all of my sprites are in one texture so there's only one draw call.
🤔🤔🤔🤔 I'm gonna need a JSON library and I'm going to want to use the Tiled API
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 How hard can it be to build a file path in C?
Well now I have a hunger headache but I can build a file path in C probably.
Youtube is giving me interesting short films so here you go:
Honestly, it's going to be sad when they make algorithms illegal.
@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org the Charismatic Voice is good as well.
Thanks to @aks@scalie.zone pointing it out, I've added human.json to my site, and then spiraled into melancholy as one is wont to do.
It's a good thing I suck at everything I do. Gods but I hope nothing I do ever gets popular. I hope I never get fans.
I'm going to take all of my creative work and just stick it on an external drive to be discovered when I'm dead. Then the shit-eating jackals can eat my whole dead ass.
In which I got a little to high on my supply and revamped my links page with some Python shenanigans:
