jumbotron mesh
jumbotron unreal setup
jumbotron in game
just made a live jumbotron in unreal!
how to do it: make a renderTarget texture that uses a sceneCapture2d camera and add it to the emissive of an unlit material so it's fullbright. #gamedev #unreal
thinking about global game jamming
sorry, thought that was your goal (to sell it). since people don't buy html games but love to buy executables it's a good option for selling html games on steam etc. ps it works on a mac (and linux too)
for freeware, not worth the effort. simply zip it up and post as a web game on itch. best wishes
I recommend nw.js which will turn it into an .exe

coding some really fast running movement today
had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!
Wishing you a 2026 with less pain and worry!
I sincerely hope you get to enjoy tons of healthy days. Days where you feel strong. Lighthearted. Full of energy. Optimistic about the future. Loved and accepted. You deserve all this and more.
this week I did a lot of #gamedev coding for a speedrunning game's movement! eventually I hope to implement wall running, drifting, and wingsuit gliding, all the time trying to make it "feel faster" using tricks like a speed boost that changes fov and adds speed lines to the edge of the camera
We just released a new game!

like all #gamedev I love crates. today I drew one by hand with a marker and was happy with how it turned out
doing the classic #gamedev trick of inverted normals for a volumetric light beam effect, ie. the tube only has an inside not an outside
As I was growing up, I thought I wanted to be many things:
An inventor
A magician
An artist
A musician
An animator
A writer
Turns out, I didn't have to pick! I could be ALL of it. Gamedev is every bit of my dreams and so much more. I love this career!
The Unity 20th Anniversary Game Jam just started!

they're not all great GAMES but I had a great time making every one of them: it's such a cliche but it's the people that really matter when you look back
the eureka moments shared with a compatriot as we struggle through the process, those little celebrations together along the way
I love my life!!! being a #gamedev is my personal childhood dream come true.
kid me would be THRILLED to meet old me!
hey little buddy. guess what.
you get to live the dream. it literally happens
made a new @itch.io collection:
165 indie games with my name in the credits!!!

help! I may be addicted to game jamming
here's how I made the ring shaped sprite: started with stars and used photoshop PINCH then made the edges transparent
made a wormhole lightspeed effect in js today. =)
I photoshopped a star picture into a ring-shaped transparent sprite, then in code draw eight copies at different scales based on the current time. whole thing is 25 lines of code yay
thinkycon - #gamedev talks on puzzly topics is streaming live right now through till nov 7
