@anamanaguchi As soon as the reveal for Scott Pilgrim EX came on, I said "Anamanaguchi HAS to be creating this music!"

There’s rumors going around that Switch 2 will allow players to use a regular Switch as a controller in order to allow for WiiU like experiences on the new platform. I talked about this before and think that that would be such a classic Nintendo move that would totally make sense and allow for all new ways of play. If Nintendo somehow solved the latency restrictions since the WiiU, that could be an extremely exciting feature! What do I think of this as a developer? I think about No Rest for the Wicked and Couch Co-Op: In most top-down ARPGs that support Couch Co-Op all players are restricted to stay on the same screen, which is really restrictive. And all players have to use the main screen for their inventories and such. If you’d instead have 4 players playing and they’d all have their own screen, they could go wherever they’d want and they could still look at the main screen to see what everyone else is doing, etc. All of that sounds lovely to me and I’m beyond excited for what Nintendo has to share on April the 2nd. I for one hope that this one is true! 👍❤️

@CalexOnline 😹 I randomly thought of it while doing laundry last night, as it'd be a fun way of leaning hard on the "3" and showing a release date.

@codemastermm This is too IQ for me Code 😂

The lights dim. A trailer begins. A physics masterpiece: A gravity-defying tool propels wooden items at enemies. You can apply gels that can light on fire, goo that sticks them into place, & several other intense physics-based systems. The Half-life logo appears. Then a "3".

@SandWitchDev Sorry (that I'm not savvy with Photoshop)

@codemastermm Omg no you didn't 😭

Me when the anime pp n*zi I've been debating for 3 hours finally tell me he won't buy my cozy game about traveling to a mysterious planet and meeting a diverse cast of characters (he says it was made on a woke engine)

me: if you go pee in the potty, you get one mini chocolate chip 2yo: chocolate! me: if you go poop, you get TWO chocolate chips 2yo: chocolate!! me: there’s a daily login bonus of 1 extra chip. every 3 months, if you upgrade to the ChipPass, all daily activities produce chips—

@glitchedinorbit @godotengine @OskSta How's the performance of C# vs GDScript? Curious if I should be targeting one or the other for game and/or plugin code.

I converted the C# dual grid tilemap system jess::codes made into native @godotengine GDScript @OskSta has a great post on the logic: x.com/OskSta/status/… Here's the GitHub repository if you'd like to use it: github.com/GlitchedinOrbi… #gamedev

@FromHappyRock I remember a few of us from Bismuth playing and over VC: "I need more bug legs!! Gotta find more bugs!" Their honey huts were a great thematic environment.

One thing that always sweetens the deal when pitching a design idea, is to prove out how versatile it could be! Once I had a Buglin design I liked, I grabbed a handful of the biomes we had planned and did a custom Buglin for each climate!Crablins are my favorite, I miss them

@mmmmmmmmiller Sweet, let's party up with your Thor and hop into the Cloning Labs from the Hellicarrier Oh wait

need him asap

@Rinoaaa What the actual fuck I'm so sorry, that is not OK You deserve far better

@KenneyNL Perfect for April 1st

Hear me out; game engines with googly eyes

@mmmmmmmmiller This is why when I created Steam branches, I used periodic elements and those mapped to scenarios, teams, etc in internal-only documentation. Branch names are public, gotta be careful.

WB Games issuing a DMCA claim on a screenshot of steamdb is the latest stupid move in a long series of stupid moves from the same publisher that once claimed the header image on their own Twitter account

@Iron_Stylus Forceful RTO policies are generally layoffs in disguise

Doubly rage-inducing is that both Riot and Blizzard had draconian return to office policies, while also full court pressing to hire during/after the pandemic. People were hired, dragged back, then shitcanned. People uprooted just to be smacked in the face.

@HextechWings Dang this looks awesome

@KenneyNL You are incredible, thank you Kenney

@FallenIsel Wooooo!! Now you can finally tell us what the heck Sagemaker is

@RoDoddler Used to run an RO private server, contributed to Athena and whatnot. Nowadays, I'm making games professionally. Using mostly Unreal currently. Let me know if you need any help diving into some of this. Can lend a hand here and there, time permitting.

@FallenIsel Good luck! You got this
