“Why is my game suddenly selling so well? I guess it’s the amazing story”
All controllers have vibration sir :)
TRCs be damned, I’m an artist
You absolutely can :) no vital information contained therein
Not my cup of tea gameplay-wise, but I’m absorbing every single bit of art I can from it. Gorgeous.
Spent the day messing with haptics on my next game. I hope you all like your hands vibrating solidly for multiple hours at a time.
*I have also added a slider to turn them the fuck down.
*for cowards who lack respect for my creative vision.
Love em, will watch anything with ‘em in :)
It is, ironically, a bit of a ‘lost cause’.
(It’s totally gonna be a game or animation rather than a show though)
Firefly returning in 2026 feels like a real monkey paw situation. Still got a soft spot for that show, but damn.. so many reasons to let it lie.
So hey I realise I never said so publicly, but I'm not at GDC for many of the obvious reasons.
But I want to highlight that by killing off the summits, the longest serving game AI community space is gone.
So yeah, we're hard at work on 2026 news for @conference.aiandgames.com. More news soon.
Insightful game criticism as always
Super fuzzy ‘intuitively it feels like the wrong neighbour is selected’.. which is an easy fix on fixed controls, but when things get dynamic and interestingly laid out… gets interesting :)
I would love some exposed options, and dare I dream of a solution that doesn’t lock in only four directions?
I love Godot. I do not love its default focus neighbour picking (I also feel this is probably not a universally solveable issue with defaults.. I just wish I hadn’t picked something so… specific.. as a first project in the engine)
Oh, no, not at all, I just have a good mate who insists
My schedule (especially in the ‘calls to LA every evening’ era) basically knocked me out of any kind of recurrent multiplayer with mates years ago.
My PS5 is a single player AAA console and ok group chat platform at this point. And I dig it.
Might be a source code rewatch night.. love that movie
May the 4th (+2) we’ll be with you
I’ll circle back in a couple months with something you’ll like
Every day I get one or more reminders of how grateful I am to have crossed paths professionally with so many talented, skilled and above all kind people. To quote TRON: Catalyst, like an asshole, “I am composite”
Get ready to visit @nictringali.bsky.social et al’s new world. Or rather, very very old world, May 6th
lol. You of course sent me this while I was listening to one of yours
75% of podcasts are a structure by which a group of neurodivergent people trick themselves into scheduled hangs with each other, and by extension, a decently maintained friendship.
(Positive)
Inside me there are two wolves
Yup…
(Disclaimer: I don’t scotty to people I’m in a task with.. that’s how you fuck over the guy next to you in the trenches. Scottying is reserved for people outside the process)
(The above is the reason I have a rep for hitting my deadlines and milestones with partners. I am not amazing at task estimation, but I am good at predicting how bad I am at task estimation)
I learned early in my career to scotty my numbers. If I think a task’s gonna take me 3 days, I say 5. 9/10 times something’ll come up and it’ll be 4. That’s a spare day I can spend on cleanup or polish.
Which is to say I’ve had a week of 5 day tasks turning out to be 1 day tasks and i feel exposed.
