@DiscoDogMedia @BenjiGameDev well, there is hunt showdown

@Chronosmitor @BenjiGameDev My boys and I were talking about a casual Cowboy "friendslop" shooter since there REALLY aren't enough old west games around.. Blood West was the main inspiration there. My current project isnt going to be all fun and retro though

For anyone who's trying to achieve a simple "infinite ocean" effect in their game, here's how I'm doing it 🧵

abomination continues, but i kinda like it for 30 minutes job, feels like botched Clash of Titans #gamejam #pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ

@DiscoDogMedia @BenjiGameDev yeah, i'm mostly crunching hi res and adding highlights by hand of fix odd pixel here and there. making all textures by hand is imo not feasible. if you wanna be fancy, you can force the crunched ones thru colour palette i guess

@BenjiGameDev Gotcha, was talking to a friend and debating the merits of dropping res on photos vs hand making pixelated textures for style points.

@Arinatos @The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames oh, i see, sry about that. Glad we agree that Xclips knows nothing :)

@Chronosmitor @The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames Sorry, didn't realize you were referring to the guy I replied to. It was worded kind of similar to a "call out" reply which people often reply to someone in order to attack them or their character, so I misinterpreted the target. Whoops.

Game dev secret, please don’t tell anyone 🤫

@Arinatos @The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames why to you write this to me? :)

@Chronosmitor @The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames Take a look at the junk piles in the canals section, use gmod or something else to delete the props and gaze at the garbage geometry that lies beneath some of them. Also you don't open game engines, you open sdks or the game itself, and valve maps are made with hammer.

@Arinatos @The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames the guy never opened blender or game engine, he even uses grok instead of his own brain

@The_x_news_ @MossyGroveGames This isn't new, this has been a thing for over 20 years. Even valve used props to cover up geometry flaws in hl2.

@The_x_news_ @TmiErektor @MossyGroveGames nice way to verify to all of us that you have zero clue how games are made. 100 tris rock is not hindering anything you dumbass

@TmiErektor @MossyGroveGames

@PaulTassi no, i just don't like to pay for shit movies and hate shitty adaptations. oddyssey like movies are exact reason i stopped going to cinema decade ago

The Odyssey is going to make a bunch of money, win a bunch of awards and millions of people will love it. Hating it sight unseen because you want to be part of an edgy antiwoke movement spamming buzzwords and slurs in comment threads is just a miserable way to live.

@PaulTassi @Forbes ofc it does. 99%, lol, noone take these 'proffessionals' seriously. just from the awkward concensus it's obvious it will be shit and i need to stay at home

‘The Odyssey’ Has A Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Review Score via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

@sevenevg i didn't even notice at first - the smoke dither is great

Hubcap has left the game ;)

@hope42morr0w lol, my bad, it just looks similar (actually it doesn't really, and it's not even cash register), i should go to sleep...

@Chronosmitor these assets are mine, i do not distribute them

@hope42morr0w allright, i guess i can safely assume my 512x512 will work fine for my car than. thanks!

@Chronosmitor thanks, its 1024x1024 , but theres still a lot of free space

A cab. Knows every street by heart. #pixelart #lowpoly #indiedev

@kaanomeg but i mean, it's kind of amazing

22k materials.

@KenneyNL i agree, i don't want my work to appear online for sale before i finish it

I've noticed that I've become a bit hesitant to show the games & tools I'm working on. I'm often afraid that they will be stolen (especially because of AI), or that a cheap copy will appear before I've been able to finish them. Does anyone else share this feeling?
