Anyone have suggestions on where to try to promote the Games for Blind gamers gam jam? We got 110 sign ups last year, and hoping to get more sign ups this year!

The fact that Outlook is presenting me a prominent single button for reply-alling to an announcement from a manager to 89 distinct employees with "okay, thanks for the heads up!" suggests that the entirety of Outlook was written by a single monk who has not interacted with another human being in the last 30 years and divines the user requirements through meditation

Jeff Vogel's just dropped a new blog post here that's worth reading:

Does anyone have any advice about how and when to write design documents for #gamedev projects?

I've just stumbled over this: https://lucasroedel.gumroad.com/l/pixel_art and it looks really interesting, I think maybe I could do something cool with that?

Three panels from Indiana Jones.

Panel 1:

Millennials:

"Generation Alpha are digital natives.
They've grown up already using every technology you had to adapt to."

Panel 2:

"They know every smartphone, watch 3 screens at once, spend 10 hours a day on line. With any luck, they've got the tech skills we need already."

Panel 3:

Gen Alpha:

"Does anyone here know what a C drive is?
Is it an app?"

My Puzzle game now has 7 User Reviews! Think it will ever reach 10? 🤔

This is going to be a stretch, but: I saw a post and/or screenshot about #godot #godotengine sometime relatively recently, where the person was basically using a single global signal in a form sort of like:

`something_happened(what, how)`

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm *very intrigued* by this approach.

Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.

Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.

Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

16-color pixel art painting by Rick Parks in Deluxe Paint on Amiga. The image depicts a half-full water glass with a screen-printed image of Mickey Mouse on the front. Mickey has red shorts and white shoes. There is dramatic low lighting which casts a shadow across the canvas. The image looks photographic in nature. If you zoom in, you can actually see the image was painstakingly created by hand with a very limited palette.

@eniko Gamepad normally, controller is the generic term for any input device AFAIK? A Gamepad and an Arcade Stick and a Lightgun are all controllers but they are all very different.

"When that one YouTuber uploads a new video:
*In chair under blanket, looking at screen* Movie timee~"

I think that I might end up making a brain training arithmetic game because I can't find a decent one for phones.

UFO 50 is very inspiring, I'm enjoying it.

Steam now allows to add Mastodon links to game pages, if you are in one of the following instances 😮 🤯

Workaround for other instances: setting "https: // mastodon.gamedev.place/" + your user, for example "@ eibriel @ sigmoid.social" (without the spaces)

#Steam #Mastodon #GameDev #IndieDev

This entry must start with one of: https://mastodon.social/@, https://mastodon.online/@, https://mstdn.social/@, https://mstdn.games/@, https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@

What terminal/CLI addon are you all using for #Godot? I want the vscode experience.

I feel like I have two paths in front of me for gamedev stuff.

Either I challenge myself to make something purely using art assets that I can get for free (probably from https://kenney.nl/assets) or I take a total side trip and learn how to make low poly 3d models.
