@afreytes I did both. Thus spending too much money AND too much time 😂
Another lefty mastodon gamedev! 🥳
British, middle-aged and gay (of the generation that still winces slightly at 'queer') 🌈
Adopted by Dora the cat in 2022 🐈⬛
Slowly making a cosy iOS game about archaeology in a terrarium.
I 'like' a lot of #CatsOfMastodon posts. I don't usually repost though, to prevent my feed being All Cats.
Profile photo is Dora, my daft cat. Header is concept art for my game - a cute little house in a terrarium full of plants.

Making a magic carpet clone has made me realise I have tremendous difficulty typing 'equilibrium'
But on the other hand I do love *saying* it. Almost with a rolled 'r' like the intro VO 😍
That feeling when you're watching an episode of classic Who and think "I must copy that visual effect in a game at some point"
@dkozlov actually yeah that does make more sense 😂
@dkozlov I automatically assume it would be this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6aKnRnBxM
@jamesoff cute! But also: ow!
@Nikkileah very good form. They’ve clearly done a lot of training!
@psychicparrot42 everyone likes a bit of wibble
It really has been a revelation to get back to a fast code+test workflow. A real “I’m not jaded, Unreal’s workflow really is painful” moment.
Rebuilding and restarting Unreal doesn’t take “that long”, but it’s easily enough to break my concentration. It’s not uncommon for me to load up the editor and *forget what I just changed* 🤷♂️
@sinbad there are loads of issues that only present warnings until you make a packaged build too. Unreal is so verbose it’s very easy to just ignore the log entirely
Source comments don't count
@dusk_treader he’s a very dapper napper!
@mrgrumpymonkey all cats are perfect. Just ask any cat!
@harbonaut well that sucks!
@JeremiahFieldhaven @psychicparrot42 “given that God is infinite, and that the Universe is also infinite... would you like a toasted teacake?”
Every time I cycle under this bridge I think “I’m having that”
For the terrarium game I mean, I don’t want the real one. I’ve nowhere to put it for a start
@psychicparrot42 I do that with the kettle more often than I care to admit. (Fill it full of bread I mean)
@damianogerli bring back (bubble) pipes!
Resisting the urge to make a trello for the definitely-not-magic-carpet game. Feels like that will make it too.. serious, somehow.
But I am totally losing track of what I still need to do 😀
