@_idoz Any updates on that one? Was looking forward to it, hope it didnt get scrapped :)

some stat-upgrading fruit from the upcoming roguelike mode in archvale #gamedev #gamemaker

@BakedJake Your PMC obviously tripped and broke his neck

First raid in 5 months, What a greeting

@ArenaBreakoutPC So we all get access to the beta?

We will never scam our players, and our game will always be free. In just 30 minutes, it will be our moment, and a moment of surprise for all FPS gamers. It is time. youtu.be/tQBONQg4e3Y #ArenaBreakoutInfinite

@RubyBenji Fingers crossed that the unlock requirements for the advanced classes change too :D

It's a big time investment but it feels super worth it so far.

I can recommend every dev out there to put aside as much time as it takes and do a FULL playthrough of their game. I am halfway done with Tiny Rogues right now and I already feel so much more in touch with my game than before. Project: "be in touch" is a huge success so far.

@lectvs Art and effects are very satisfying

yes i would like a rapid-fire piercing shotgun (Sound ON for popcorn 🍿) (Game link in the replies 👇) #LDJAM

@bwalter_indie Looks cute. Compo or Jam?

@samyam_youtube You could readd the old level background as secret levels? Or make an unlockable (exchanging the stars) to change the background? Same applies for the platform color.

moss under the black platforms yay or nay?

@samyam_youtube Add juice to the stars when picking it up, maybe adding some small star particles. :)

@mesetatron Currently looking into getting a laptop, what Thinkpad is that?

So, ok, I should give a fair explanation for why this works: we work on a browser-based MMO, and a 2D one at that, and our policy is to externalize the assets from the main game bundle to be loaded in dynamically at runtime to make it as easy as possible for us to add new content. Because of this, the game bundle is kept as small as possible, so there's not a lot of assets to pack, which is the bulk of the build times Add to this the fact that our stack shares a lot in common with what web developers would find familiar - the frontend compiles to javascript and is deployed in very much a similar fashion to SPAs. The backend is a binary, but it's packed in docker and deployed to kubernetes. So our whole build toolchain uses the same sort CI/CD you'd see in web apps. This means aside from some limited local testing capability, our builds are handled by gitalb CI, with self-hosted runners in kubernetes clusters, with auto-scaling jobs pool. This means it automatically scales up the build servers as necessary to accommodate the builds in parallel. On a busy day, there could be 4 or 5 simultaneous builds happening due to all the features being developed. The CI/CD pipeline builds the game client, and hosts that at a preview URL which can be shared internally for QA. We actually use Firebase hosting for this, since it supports preview branches which automatically shut down after a few days, though this is more of a legacy decision that just hasn't been updated yet because it still works. Our main deployment is no longer hosted on firebase, it's just the previews It also builds the server, and stashes that in our internal docker registry. When one of the preview clients starts up, it instructs our sharding service to automatically provision the matching server version and connect to it. That way, we can test features need to be implemented on both client and server This whole CI build process takes 2 and half minutes. This means you can be working on an MMO feature, do a git commit, and launch your preview with that new feature, in less than 3 minutes. I actually did a LOT of work to optimize our build pipelines down to 3 minutes, because it was pretty important for dev flow to have fast CI systems. At one point our builds were taking more like 15-20 minutes. For this reason, I don't really need a lot of processing power on a local workstation Having said that... this Thinkpad is one of the more decked out ones, with 32GB RAM, an i7-1260p (admittedly runs too hot), and I plug it into an RTX 3060 eGPU on my desk with the 50" monitor, so I was being a bit disingenuous when I said "single Thinkpad laptop"

wow, and here I am doing all the dev work for the MMO off a single Thinkpad laptop

@tophtacular GMPulse was an insta buy for me. Paired it with GMLive goes really hard. Accelerates the dev time up to 9000.

Small update to GMPulse, added the ability to execute some events on instances from within the GUI. Also did some optimization under the hood and squashed a few bugs. topherlicious.itch.io/gmpulse/devlog…

@tophtacular Exciting, purchased and will test it on the weekend.

I am FINALLY releasing the project I've been working on since last year! It's called GMPulse, and it's a runtime inspector and control panel for #GameMaker. It allows you to edit variables, change rooms, toggle fullscreen, and more - all while your game is running. Link in 🧵1/5

@ellraiser @apico_game Damm nice to hear! Congrats on that one :D

Just over a year ago I thought it'd be cool to try and make a game! Today I added in an ending, the credits, and actually finished @apico_game... wtf It's been an incredible time but damn I'm actually more relieved than anything else - brb going to nap for like a whole month 😅

@ellraiser @3L1 Interesting to see, I always thought you are going for nine slices. Great UI nonetheless

@3L1 Ahh thank you so much Eli!! Means so much coming from your and your beautiful game 💛💛 The UI design stuff is probably my favourite thing to do in gamedev always excited to be adding new menus and stuff! My menu spritesheet alone for APICO is huge 😅

Did I spend far too much time on making tapped trees have a single pixel dripping from them? Oh you know I did!!! 💧 #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev
