Oi #twitch streamers and #simulator #jobtourism & #automation content creators on other platforms! 📦

Dan just released his debut game's demo, it's about inspecting parcels (inspired by "Papers, Please") and later automating your warehouse sorting and processing pipeline!

Signal boost appreciated 🥰

Refreshed my English launch trailer for #BlackDragonMage now that I've had a second to breathe after shipping some patches :)

Y'all like it?

Thank you, kind penguin stranger! 🐧
And thanks to the Proton team for making this possible.

Black Dragon Mage runs smoothly via Proton. Though I am planning to continue work on a native Linux build at some stage. You'd think it's easy with a Unity game, but turns out there are a couple little gotchas!

I play a bunch of games on #Linux too! dual-booting to Nobara and #SteamDeck of course.

💖 Heart go plop.
Needed some visual feedback for when the Reaper steals one of your heart containers in Black Dragon Mage. The effect is procedural, based on just one heart sprite from my UI. 😎

Hey friends, I should also mention here that I released the first public demo for BLACK DRAGON MAGE, my action-roguelite inspired by Vampire Survivors, Death Must Die and Bomberman (???) and you can play it on Steam right now:

"do one thing at a time" was the best novice software engineering advice I've ever gotten

I think you could light a whole city with the mental energy I spend in a day telling my brain "yes, but first the current thing"

here's the same thing as haiku:

light a whole city
with mental energy spent
on regaining focus

In 2023, I made 890 commits (~2.44 per day) and completed 203 tickets in codecks (plus an unknown number of todoist tasks, started using codecks in March 2023).

Black Dragon Mage is now at 21,000 lines of code excluding comments and whitespace. 🐉

Looking forward to the #YearofTheDragon and finally shipping a public demo! 🧙‍♂️🔥

Fantastic read: https://hitpoints.substack.com/p/235-machine-killer

The implications of denying search traffic to websites that depend on it for revenue, I imagine, go without saying, but we’re 2,000 words deep into this thing already so we might as well get into it. This model may work for Google, and Google users, for games that are already on shelves. If someone searches for advice on Cyberpunk 2077’s Dex vs Evelyn decision in 20 years, Google’s ML models will be able to provide it. But what about the games of the future? What are you going to train the machine-learning models of tomorrow on when you’ve put all the guides teams out of work, the websites they used to write for have gone out of business, and no new ones have stepped into the void because you’ve shown there’s not a penny to be made from producing content for Google’s robot army to steal? Where’s the fucking future in that?

@RefiCHL wow looks great! Always nice to meet fellow devs on here :)

First post!👋

I'm a solo indie dev working on my game "Emberward". It's a roguelite tower defense game where you build mazes with tetromino blocks and defend with unique towers.

I've launch the demo a few days ago, please try it out and share your feedback with me!

And thanks for all the boosting and following, really happy to meet you all :D
