Instead of explaining my views on things, I'm just going to show this to people from now on lol youtu.be/qE0UimODxNg

@bHzw4lyoRq3EzwX Are you still working on Stone? It looks very interesting.

@GlvGalv @Probius6 @literally000000 I love all these fluid mobility focused games. They remind me of Starsiege: Tribes and a bit of what it was like to jump around maps in JKA. I have this really ambitious project that I'm working towards that places movement inspired by all these games into a third person ARPG.

@Probius6 @literally000000 Bloodthief feels GOOD

I wishlist you a happy new year 2026 : store.steampowered.com/app/4131730/VH…

@KayLousberg That's a fun design. I do have to say that it's ironic that you made this out of a farm implement with an attachment on it. The original flails were actually just farm implements designed for threshing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_(to…

@namedXbird @oisyn @XorDev Depends on how the language wants to handle it. What language are you using? I know null and NaN are different, but some languages will make any comparison that includes null return false. So, null == null and null != null will both be false.

@oisyn @XorDev And somehow, when i typed "if( myVar==NaN ){", the compiler didn't throw a single warning... For floats/doubles: myVar == NaN will always be false. myVar != NaN will always be true? myVar == myVar will be true if it ain't NaN. myVar != myVar will be true only if it's NaN.

A is B ≠ B is A

@XorDev ^ True. is ≠ =

However, I'd rarely ever want to play a game that was entirely centered on one of these mechanics. Yet, I'd really enjoy engaging with such systems if they were embedded in a larger crafting/survival game or other game where the mechanic would make sense.

probably exists (to some extent) as an entire stand alone game already. This is the problem I run into with these designs. I feel they're either too shallow to implement at all, or that making them deep enough to be worth it expands their scope to justifying their own game.

If you were going to design fishing in a game and wanted it to be more interesting than effectively being a QTE, what would you do? On that note, what other common gathering/crafting mechanics would you like to make more interesting, and how?

@RobinPoedev @wolfradsenpai What mechanics/elements in Dark Souls 1 were under utilized in your opinion that make you feel this way? For me, I just feel Dks2 and 3 polished and executed the core combat and movement mechanics better overall. I still really like Dark Souls 1.

@wolfradsenpai this isnt "what could have been" i dont look at Botws underutilized mechanics and think of them fondly because i know it could be so much better. i hate it because it leaves so much on the table.

I think Dark souls 1 is my least favorite one. after doing a little seemless coop with my brothers recently and playing Silksong i came to realize that my love for the conceptual idea behind its first half blinded me to how mid the execution actually is.

@Enjacey @ObsoleteSony This was a great game. Probably my favorite of the entire genre.

@ObsoleteSony This game had me hooked, loved it

@ObsoleteSony I would have said Einhander, though.. But someone else already did: x.com/Enjacey/status…

@ObsoleteSony Project Overkill I don't actually remember if it was truly any good. I just remember playing it a lot and enjoying it as a young kid. It's basically a Doom 1 style shooter with lock and key level design, but it's isometric. It also had a system with different characters.

@ObsoleteSony I actually just looked it up to refresh my memory. One interesting aspect was that there were 4 characters, all with different abilities. When you died with one, you could choose another to respawn with. Those were your "lives".

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain Why would you create a paradox like that? Are you trying to collapse the simulation?

@Eluem @BecomingCaptain My opinion is that your opinion is wrong

Saying I don't know makes you way more trustworthy. Don't try to answer shit you know nothing about.

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain I know, right? What's your opinion? I agree with that. Lol

@Eluem @BecomingCaptain Omg I hate it when people don't have an opinion on a topic 😡

@oelsons Is this Death Stranding 2?

Making a "sand blowing in the wind" effect, landed on "a game about strands" 👀 #IndieGameDev #Unity

@Phantom_TheGame @BecomingCaptain I don't know.

@BecomingCaptain This is so underrated. Why is everyone so god damn opinionated when they obviously know nothing about the topic?

@CloudlessCloud @orb_3d Absolutely

@Eluem @orb_3d true! But at the end the shape informs the lighting. A beautifully sculpted figure will give nice shadows and highlights. which is interesting how it connects

I still believe lighting is hands down the most important step of a game. Not models, not textures. This is a great example of immersion, using simple geometry with pixel art textures. The lighting does most of the heavy lifting and your brain fills the gap, which is great.
