State Off Games

In celebration of 100th follower here the new art direction for #backtrace2083 #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiedev Feedback welcome!

The 1986 Polish movie "Podróże Pana Kleksa" features a scene with a Commodore 16, and the actor dramatically hits F6 (Shift+F3) at the end of a sequence of keystrokes, which is the correct shortcut for RUN<return>! I love when they get these details right in movies.

That one guy in a gamedev's replies:

@McFunkypants I admit I cheated on my first GameJam: I read the GameJam Survival Kit. Saved me a lot of trouble.

#gamedev ADVICE REQUESTED got any Ludum Dare game jam wisdom for newcomers who want to get the most out of #LDJAM? please share! I'll post a few here too. thank you

@8BitShowAndTell Just keep on being yourself!

Reading the comments about my corporeal appearance in my fellow Youtuber's videos, I'm realizing there's such a fine line between bikerdude, metalhead, and hobo. "Old computer nerd who hasn't had a hair cut or beard trim since before the pandemic" doesn't occur to anyone.

@JoeCreates Congrats! Looks so amazing

After working on Jack Move for years it's hard to believe but it's actually out TOMORROW!

@ianpolpo Had good luck repairing PS1 in the past. Fuse replacement, reflowing few chips and they were good as new. Getting rid of crappy soldered MOD chips is step 1.

Small wrapper around vcocalc.py to easier find optimal clock settings for the @Raspberry_Pi Pico: bit.ly/3zmGx3n Enjoy!

@retsynNL I predict there will be a small maintenance phase but never the less you mind may be free now ... and wander off towards Super Poulet Poulet :-P

Poulet Poulet will likely release THIS MONTH! Stay tuned for details.

@retsynNL Huh, Permadeath poulet?!

@jmechner The rest is history

My first computer was a 1978 Apple II like this one, with 16K of memory. (In Apple Muzeum Warsaw)

New blog post! After fighting with the divide between implicit and explicit synchronization with #Vulkan on #Linux for over seven years, we may finally have some closure! @jekstrand_ explains: col.la/bsgvl #OpenSource

@8BitShowAndTell Don't forget to dodge! :)

I was not expecting Axe Dancing to occur tonight! (This was part of "Chaban Takes the Stage" at Magnus Theatre, by Chaban Ukrainian Dance Group)

RenderDoc v1.20 is now available, with improvements to the buffer viewer and error messages as well as a number of bugfixes. Full release notes are available: github.com/baldurk/render… as well as binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

@KariLawler Uhhhh, what's beyond Basic?

Who else buys bundles just to get the game they want? ... yep, finally now own a copy of Elite!!!🎉 #retrogaming #retrogamer #bbcmicro

@Quantum_Martin @reduzio @willnationsdev I believe that @willnationsdev wants to have the 4.0 PR reviewed and done so it's be easier to backport as opposed to edit both each time - even though there might be change requests. At the end the #GodotEngine policy is to only accept PRs that go into both 4.x and 3.x.

@StateOffGames @reduzio @willnationsdev Yup, as far as I understand the 3.x PR needs de 4.0 PR to be merged first Don't know why

@Quantum_Martin @reduzio I second resource handling. Here is my wishlist PR github.com/godotengine/go… and the 3.x variant github.com/godotengine/go… Great work by @willnationsdev btw.

@reduzio About usability, the Custom Resources handling is the most important upgrade right now according to me. It would be a game changer, and would help adoption of Resources which are so powerful yet way underrated ! github.com/godotengine/go…

@MacSlow Now that is what I call "renn-erbse" 2.0 ;)

Second ride out on my trusty #Ducati #Hypermotard 821 SP. Less soreness, more enjoyment :)

@retsynNL @amherstdice Witcher! Burn him!
