I had a really clever solution to a problem that would overlap arrays and do bitwise logic to find and compare data...

Then I realized my project is so small and modern memory is so huge that I could basically create an easier O(n)! solution to the problem that is utterly impossible to scale. All of the memory would be misaligned too.

I feel like I need to take a shower and wash myself of these impure thoughts.

#CorgiJam Day 3

Ideas and Formula: There are a number of ways to introduce a player to danger. I'll be experimenting with different ways to suggest that not everything is safe.

Things noticed: Circular motion is a bit robotic and focuses a lot on the mouse but if the particles had physics, it could get complicated.

Things to do: I need to create a system for mouse collision. Perhaps I'll write the motion to a 1bit bitmap.

interesting C++ problem: you're defining a toplevel streaming operator for a type from a namespace, but it can't be found, because the template doing the streaming has been defined before your operator.

the not so obvious fix for that is to put the streaming operator into the same namespace as the type, triggering https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl.html

🎮 Indie Game Dev

Hi everyone! I'm an indie game developer currently working on a
simulation + character-raising style anime game.

I handle almost everything myself—art, systems, UI, and story.
I've also been keeping a regular devlog to share updates.

Feel free to reach out and chat 👋
I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas on gameplay or direction.

A few months ago, I completely reset my Patreon to make it more like a devlog where I post every week about NOKOMA, the progress and the hurdles, how I feel, etc.

This week, time for the 2025 recap 🕔

#CorgiJam Day 2

Ideas and Formula: I've got some ideas about how to manage introducing the player to the mouse. The player cannot let go of the mouse and the cursor cannot be touched by anything.

Things noticed:I thought I could easily do collision but the mouse teleports between frames. So I'll draw lines from around the current position to the previous one.

Things to do: The square could be better. I'll make it a circle. Easier and cooler.

Our creators now can add audio as a posts. Next is video posting. Sometimes I'll add comments feature too. Yep.. sometimes 🤔

As a new week starts, I'm still working on NOKOMA 1.12 which is mainly targeted to iOS players. It's a long road with many hurdles but I'm confident it will be soon functional! 😙

there we go.

#devlog #LRDL

now adding set insertions with unbound variables.

the main use will be autoindexing new additions, but also setting subfields of single-value relators.

for autoindexing i presently use a clunky special form which doesn't even work right so i can't wait to throw that out.

#devlog #LRDL

I took a first stab at isometric maps on a 386. The new direction definitely makes things more challenging... and I'm not sure yet if I can pull it off.

in which I use #tar like it says on the cereal box to distribute a knowledgebase (the knowledge is how the #softwareIndividuals can put a message in emacs' minibuffer).

It is a little far from gamedev as such, but you can imagine that if you are playing dwarf fortress, getting the message that your master engraver has been struck by a fey mood put on your screen when it happens is an important feature for your fortress to keep you in the loop.

#CorgiJam Day 1

Ideas and Formula: My original idea was to do something that involved a keyboard, mouse and controller. Like resource management, picking up and moving from keyboard to controller to mouse.

Things noticed: A mouse only needs one hand to be completely functional and a keyboard is... sort of the same way.

Things to do: I've got an engine that can writing text but reading text is something that I need to make happen.

Update from my game-asset project. Finished the ground-, house-, water- and plant-tiles as well as some props. What are your opinions ? :)

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #assets #devlog

Added an option to file a bug report for iScribby. Feel free to drop in any issues you find.

#devlog #LRDL

added support for C++ value types and custom polymorphic operators as relators.

here the feature is used to support the vec3 type from the GL math library

Hi everyone! This time we’ll once again take a short break from creating shaders. Instead, I’ll describe how we can test a game developed in the Godot Engine on the Steam Deck and what needs to be ensured or verified before we release our game for this console as well. #Godot #Godot4 #GodotEngine #GodotTips #steam #devlog #indiedev
