I've compressed an #Othello #game into 1KB of #pico8 #code for the #pico1k game #jam.

There's a small #jam called #pico1k going on right now, where you make #pico8 games in 1,024 (compressed) bytes or less.

I decided to do a #demake of sorts. I took the essential bits of my newest game, Apathello, and whittled them down into this #1k cartridge. I call it Kilothello.

Ok at this point I believe Visual Studio is just fucking with me.

Oh hell yeah! I have tamed C++. It now does my bidding.

Ok, game programmers. Imagine you are to code a long-term commercial video game project, and these are the only language options you have. What are you choosing? (Feel free to elaborate)

C is proper C99 with struct initialisation and whatnot.

C++ is a C++98 without all the modern unintelligible stuff (no templates, no boost, no stl)

Both options provide you with a basic framework for game development. What would be the better choice? And why?

Hey there! Working on a grass system in Unity 3D. It's all part of our world generator tool!! I'm very excited to see how it turns out. I am trying to create expressionist and oil painting inspired stylized visuals combined with low-poly. :unity: 😶‍🌫

While Godot, etc., are great tools and engines, I find working with just plain code more fun and rewarding.

It's the kind of thing that is relaxing to do after a workday doing web APIs and non-game related stuff.

...And a new game project is presenting itself. It's a gamble since it might take a month of prototyping without pay before the team is consolidated and finds its rythm, before we can produce a real demo with a real budget. (And after that find investors and so on)

But hey my schedule is pretty scarce until next back-to-school and as a freelance and an entrepreneur you need to take gambles sometimes.

I became a teacher for this. To be stable and be able to gamble a bit without gambling my livelyhood. Let's go.

In Germany we don't say "Ugh, I have to wait for Godot 4.1 😫".

We say "Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude 🌝🌅🌟"[1].

And I think that's beautiful.

Making progress on a challenge system.

Though challenge templates are somewhat predictable, which enemies spawn and where is randomised.

Each challenge space is configurable in the editor too. So it's quite flexible.

Sharing a first playable (0.1) of the 3D platformer project I'm building as part of my 3D Real-Time Skills Bootcamp with Mastered.

Playable: https://stevepdp.itch.io/re-dream
Feedback: https://forms.gle/Qy5KRdanYtnbK6Nr8

Builds: Windows, Linux, macOS and Web.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Trigger distance and chasing speed issues aside, I'm quite pleased with how the aggro system is working so far.

Sharing some progress on a 3D platformer I'm currently making.

Highlights so far:

✨ Learned how to and built several environments using ProBuilder and ProGrids.
✨ Learned and applied the Observer pattern, which minimises null reference errors and allows for greater flexibility.
✨ Key systems like collectables, room completion dependencies and a HUD.

Ok. Asteroid mining factory game project is dead. I couldn't figure out where the fun bit was. I mean, as a coder the technical challenges were fun, but the whole ship-factory bit felt contrived.

Instead, space rural life/farming sim. Bit easier to reach for bits of traditional game design (dungeons, dialogue and discovery). Can still allow fun base building and some lesser automation.

Hi, I'm Tiesselune :tiesseluneShiny: , but my friends call me "Tiesse" (pronounce T-S), I'm a 30-something software engineer with a knack for computer science 👨‍💻 and video games 🎮, to the point where I'm currently a computer science teacher 👨‍🏫 in game programming and general purpose software development.

Aside from that, I'm a gaymer 🎮, I write ✍️ a Webnovel (in french 🇫🇷, https://echosdautrepart.fr) I read (mostly Fantasy and cheesy MM romances, for which I'm a bit shameful but not much so), I program various stuff in #Rust :rust: and #javascript / #typescript :javascript: , I do some 3D modeling, I'm almost a gym rat 🏋️🐀 (let's say a gym otter 🏋️🦦). I got a few game projects in boxes here and there, that I'll never finish but that keep me occupied enough.

I like singing and dancing, I'm a proud :heart_rainbow: co-parent 👬 of a shiba inu and a brittany spaniel 🐕

My totem animal is a good boi cause I'm loyal in nature, but you need to earn it first!

Looking forward to interact with you on here ! :idle:

À côté de ça je joue 🎮, j'écris ✍️ un webnovel (https://echosdautrepart.fr), je lis 📖 (principalement de la fantasy et des romances MM à l'eau de rose, j'ai un peu honte mais pas tant que ça), je développe ici et là pour mon plaisir en #Rust :rust: et en #Javascript/ #Typescript :javascript: , je modélise des trucs en 3D, je fais pas mal de sport 🏋️chez moi et en salle... J'ai des projets de JV à développer qui durent depuis 7 ans et qui ne verront jamais le jour mais qui m'occupent bien.

J'aime chanter, danser, grimper aux arbres et faire des sacs en macramé. Je suis co-papa 👬 :heart_rainbow: d'un shiba inu et d'un épagneul breton 🐕

Mon animal totem c'est le toutou car je suis de nature loyale, mais faut le mériter 😉

There needs to be a respectable and obvious title in #GameDev that means "the only engineer", because when I have a bunch of projects where I was that, and my official title was "Lead Engineer", it gives potential employers the idea that I have a lot of experience managing subordinates and don't like to dirty my hands with actual development, which is the opposite of the truth.

There's "Principle", but that doesn't seem widely used.
