@Tarik77046213 I've just realised that's incorrect. It's Animate to @awayflplayer. Sorry about that :)

@dampgnat Thx

@dampgnat what engine you used to build Icycle On Thin Ice?

@JakubAmanita Of course it did 😎 And well deserved 👏

we just received Amanita's 5th IGF Award (3rd for Visual Art)!!

@hive_pixel “Matthew”?? Who’s that then? Have you EVER gone by that name?

Look what I found. Too scared to look. 👀

@DaveFlower6 Hi, will DM

@dampgnat Hi Reece.I am reaching out on behalf of my daughter Jess who is looking for work experience in the short term & a potential apprenticeship/internship in concept art. She has already completed work experience at Electric Square. Would you have anything available ?

Honoured to have it be a highlight! I really enjoyed my time at the festival and GamesLab 🤩

@TjkBob No plans yet. Never say never :)

@dampgnat Will you ever make another sequel to Icycle?

TEN years old! 🎂🎉🥂🧊 'ICYCLE: On Thin Ice' remains only on PC & Mac at present. Last day at 60% off in the #SteamAutumnSale store.steampowered.com/app/658990/Icy… #indiedev #indiegame

@SFBTom From strength to strength Tom. So pleased for you both!

Yesterday marked one month since we announced The Mermaid's Tongue. How's it gone since then? Really well so far! It already has 6x as many wishlists as Tangle Tower had at launch, and it's now the ~1400th most wishlisted game on Steam (and climbing) Excited for the year ahead!

@KupoGames @ASFFest Ah of course… theme park rides! 😁

@dampgnat @ASFFest York is only 4 hours away from me, maybe I'll check it out sometime. I wonder if FlamingoLand will still be open in early November...

I'm in York this week for @ASFFest 🙌 Fantastic to be showcasing Wonderputt Forever in the Games Lab asff.co.uk/events/games-l… Looking forward to meet other game/VR developers! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ASFF2023

@KupoGames @ASFFest It was the festival’s first year showcasing games. They also have a VR lab. Really nice vibe and great to see short films & animations in theatres again.

@dampgnat @ASFFest I didn’t know there was any events like that in York. How was it?

@jimlefevre @BenCowellThomas @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music @SHYNOLAfilms @brentpatterson What a lovely hit of nostalgia Jim and fab to hear your voice and contagious enthusiasm, I miss our chats :)

@BenCowellThomas @laurenlaverne @BBC6Music @SHYNOLAfilms @brentpatterson bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… around 34:30 in Ha ha ha

@Panda_Dude17 It worked well on AppleTV, so it's certainly suited. Unfortunately there is no pipeline for the engine to work on any console, until tech finds a way around it 🤞

@dampgnat Is there any chance the game could get a console port in the future?

Cutting onions (sound on)

@TomNullpointer Ah right, yeah I guess it's slow going to start with but gets better as your Blueprint framework solidifies. Hope it also helps with memory management!

@dampgnat I mean its good when you are using it with game logic you've already sorted or pre-existing paradigm (like their built in FPS or w/e). Buts kinda tedious for doing any low level stuff (in these cases youd probably be advised to write the Blueprint classes to handle that)

Spent the weekend getting into Unreal, I made my own c++ Blueprint classes and then made another bit of game functionality with Pure blueprints. C++ compilation is pretty slow for me to iterate at speed, but Blueprint graphing is fast! It reminds me of using Max/msp

@TomNullpointer Is Blueprint like using playMaker? I gave up on that when it took so much longer to do the equivalent of a simple bit of code.

The Unreal workflow seems fine though I just need to work out how to make it fast enough for my usual working style.

Summer may be ending but there are still great games to play! ☀️ Kick back for chill vibes with #WonderputtForever or take down the robot uprising in #DustAndNeon. These games and more are on #sale on @humble today through August 25th! #indiegames

@millidge @RobynHitchcock Giggle, chortle 😆 Btw I wasn't implying you have any personality traits in need of correction x
