#ScreenshotSaturday and our 3D liminal game "The Lemon Orchard" is coming along nicely. Forest in space! Wanna come?

#gamejam #itchio #liminal #indiegame #indiedev #scifi #forest #trees #planet #sunset #godot

A screenshot of the the gam. We stand on a garden path of single rock slabs, looking out of a glass dome full of trees, into space and onto a broken planet being fixed. The mood is calm, with sunset lighting.

I’ve got better things to do than write about Liquid Glass (again), and yet, here I am.

Paint marks on palette paper that inspired LEAPIN' LIZARD. The largest splotch is brown which eventually became the body, back legs, and tail. The adjacent red suggested the colorful head of the lizard. The white extending down on a diagonal is roughly claw shaped and became the fore limbs.Work-in-progress photo of LEAPIN' LIZARD. The lizard and rider are more roughly rendered. The right forelimb of the creature is not yet present. The background is roughly sketched but not yet complete in the composition of rocks that frame the action. The sky has a streak of blue that isn't present in the final painting.Detail from LEAPIN' LIZARD featuring a warrior in winged helm and flowing loin cloth standing on the back of a giant lizard poised to leap.

I’m about to start blocking people with the opinion that Finder on macOS should be renamed to Files so that it matches iPadOS…

First of all, HOW DARE YOU say such blasphemous things?!

I put up an HDTV rip of the *American* cut of one of my guilty pleasures, Luc Besson's first attempt at making an International Film - The Big Blue (1988), on the Archive.
US cut is shorter than original by 14 minutes, & 50 min shorter than the Director's Cut. It also adds a happy ending. Then it replaces the memorable Eric Serra score with a new one by Bill Conti, who decided to copy Serra's homework.

This cut isn't available on any physical medium in HD.

Created a new little game in the form of three business cards, for the Build a better world TTRPG jam. The rules are simple, but the game is hard. "What about... making things better?" is free: ranarh.itch.io/making-things-b

#ttrpg #rollenspiel #businesscard #improve #debateculture #empathy #freegame #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

One of three business cards of the What about making things better TTRPG. The text reads: "Act as if the truth is the 'norma'l. Never assume anybody else knows the truth. The truth is simple. Fight the belly & whistles of pretty lies with that power." The game rule below is. "Any time you speak the truth against a lie, get +1 point".
Upside down in the top left corner is the text "Repeat the truth" repeated three times with different words in caps.

📣 I've just released the prototype of Arpentor Studio's 2nd game on itch.io! ✨

arpentor.itch.io/corpus-et-spi

Corpus et Spiritus is a solo deckbuilding game where you play as an alchemist looking to create the Philosopher's Stone. To reach that goal, you made a pact with a Homunculus, a magical creature. It gives you access to great powers, but at a terrible cost: your life. Get smarter than the Homunculus and break free from the pact before it sucks the life out of you!

Give it a try! 🎮

@goshki If you don’t want objects to change relative size then no, the back wall looks smaller, so any objects against it would look smaller than if you move them towards the front wall. So unless you have multiple projections (one for walls, another for objects) or do tricks like the one I suggested, there is no one projection that would work

2025-05-22

@goshki I feel what you want is not a real perspective but a fake one. So use orthographic, but then make it so the back wall is smaller than the front wall in those rooms (eg the rooms are not rectangular, but a frustrum)

@afreytes Fucking weird times, when posting books could get people in trouble 😞

@afreytes Should not that be “especially if it’s subversive books”?
