Nathaniel "gnat" | Not Cursed Games

@Tameranian3d XNA itself is deprecated but it was XNA Game Studio 3.1 I believe, which could load the game onto the 360 through local LAN. It was just .net/C# Visual Studio with extra junk to interface with the console.

@NotCursedGames been trying to look into this, can you even get XNA to work at all anymore?

Question that literally no one will have an answer for: If I were trying to do Xbox 360 homebrew, which engine would be more worthwhile? Using Unreal Engine 3 or Unity for dev? idk if UDK Ultimate UE3 is stable enough for an actual attempt at it and Unity is just... Unity...

@FR3NKD Needs texture streaming bad to avoid eating 30 GB VRAM. Godot is already pretty good for small scenes though!!

Godot is evolving

@americanmcgee Impossible to please everybody- just try your honest best. "Post then ghost" or simply "ghost" is best for trolls or time vampires.

I suppose at this point I should stop being surprised at how willing people are to be evil and wrong about me despite all my best efforts to set the record straight. It's just depressing how badly they prefer me as an enemy when I try so hard to be an ally. Almost makes me think it'd be easier to just straight up be their enemy.

Last week when adobe said they were gonna discontinue animate I got really angry and started building my own animation program. I’m calling it FrameBoy. I want it to be a free animation program for everyone forever. kirunkunju.github.io/FrameBoy/

@CobraCodeDev One of my favorite new nodes, too! @UnrealEngine Would love to see an extra Sequence node with Break / Return pins.

I just discovered that you can just run a ForEach loop over a Map in Blueprints... I used to always get the array of keys, loop over that and then find the value in the map🤦

@TokisanGames @Xtarsia Looks a bit like Nanite Tesselation. Very cool.

Displacement has been merged into Terrain3D for #GodotEngine. Thanks to @Xtarsia for making it happen. It's now usable in Nightly Builds, and coming soon in 1.1.

@games_inu Hadn't considered that voxelization would remove overdraw. Very eye opening example @games_inu

Comparing Nanite overdraw of shape preservation methods: voxelize (new, left) vs preserve area (old, right), default settings #UE5

@GreyAlien Was pretty envious of Blitzmax rapid iteration for a long long time. What role does MinGW play here? plugins?

This is literally everything I need to set up my dev environment (for BlitzMax) on a new Windows machine. It's pretty simple.

@icculus Thank you Ryan, indeed, looks great!!! BTW: always glad to see people realizing how much you and SDL have contributed to the foundations of this industry.

Something I wanted in SDL3 for a long time just landed; you can make the SDL window just take up the whole browser window in Emscripten now. So instead of this: icculus.org/~icculus/emscr… You can do this: icculus.org/~icculus/emscr… Feels more friendly to browser games.

@TwoStarGames In the web world, WebRTC is what backs Discord, Google Meet, etc. I wonder if it's available for Unreal in some form! Standard open source browser tech.

Any devs here who have implimented fully functional proximity chat into a released UE5 game? Having some issues with the voice chat system in CB and it'd be great if I can see how someone else has things set up, cause the Voip Talker system is kinda jank and I'm going insane over it 😭 DM me, if you fit this description

@aherys @TwoStarGames @MADFINGERGames @4Netplayers Odin looks promising. Seperate from VOIPTalker: fab.com/listings/79d0a… Any pricing details?

@TwoStarGames Can only advise solution we got and @MADFINGERGames got also : Odin from @4Netplayers. Work incredibly well, easy to setup.

@TwoStarGames Let us know if it gets put on YouTube! Definitely would watch.

Hey game devs. I'm speaking at SLICE tomorrow on game marketing stuff. Come say hi (if you dare)

@KenneyNL I really do love the #Blender devs dogfooding their own pipelines- the #Godot -> Blender workflow is THE FUTURE; but its a bit too manual for my tastes in its current form. Played Dogwalk seems to have perf issues on a 4070? Hm.

A super interesting article on the workflow between Blender and Godot, for Blender Studio's game DOGWALK! #gamedev #gameassets studio.blender.org/blog/our-workf…

@thomasbrushdev for Twisted Tower, if using artlist will you have to clear Content ID for every streamer / creator? any workarounds? thoughts?

@edmundmcmillen Love hearing you speak, dude. Thanks for doing the interview!!

you guys watch this yet?

@igorknezevicc @TheBobPony "fascist comment" lmao ok Even if the source was under audit, a backdoor can be added later in the build. No public build = closed binaries = "trust me bro" Sadly, a Russian citizen would be helpless to stop the Russian government (Putin) from forcing one; likely already done

@sabanski_n @TheBobPony Since when are they closed? Last time I checked it was Open Source, or is this just a fascist comment because dev is from Russia? Please, read the code, and if there's a backdoor, please comment github.com/ip7z/7zip/rele…

WinRAR finally has dark mode theme! 😎 Meanwhile, 7-Zip still only has light mode theme. 🥲

With Rocco of MEGA64.

@FreyaHolmer animated webp with transparent and lossless on

are there any video compression algos supported by browsers that are catered to flat colors/vector graphics style video? like idk it seems weird that .gif is still the most clean format for vector graphics style stuff ime. so many other formats smudge it all up
