You can talk about the design of a game as much as you want, but the way the game functions on your machine is as much a part of the art as the game logic is, imo13 May 2026 17:17 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlqsokgc4c2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mlncyesi6c2uThere are a lot of people that really believe they need validation on what a good "beginner" game is instead of just trying a bunch of stuff they think looks cool and seeing what sticks12 May 2026 07:59 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlncyesi6c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mln2whxjzc2tI kinda wish auto-bomb were a separate thing from the easy mode in a lot of newer shmups? It's kinda lame to me that there's like an entire mechanic the game tries to shove under the rug, and it's forced on you if you want the easier patterns12 May 2026 05:34 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mln2whxjzc2thttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mlm5vuwhok2cbullying game maker devs that leave GMLive in the files11 May 2026 20:55 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlm5vuwhok2chttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mljeos4k422sI forget if I posed these here10 May 2026 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljeos4k422shttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mj445zfodc2vI like these maids I think10 Apr 2026 00:51 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj445zfodc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mlirge2gvc2nGot the EOSD normal 1CC last night............

Often it's not the big flashy attacks with tons of bullets that kill us, it's our brain going autopilot and getting clipped by a bullet we easily had the means to dodge06 May 2026 09:51 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6ghjqnbk25https://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3ml52lmzdfk2yIf we had a nickel for every vampire girl from an early 00's doujin game we've drawn under a large full moon05 May 2026 20:46 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml52lmzdfk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3ml52djey7k2bLooks like it's going to be a fun night05 May 2026 20:41 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml52djey7k2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3ml4pt7caac2uThere's an existential feeling i get when I play some retro game that's 20-30 years old, and I think about the vast amount of life lived in that time. But it's especially weird because the game's a part of culture, and you can still take it on face value like any other modern piece of media05 May 2026 17:33 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml4pt7caac2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mku267pdik22Coding bosses feels like designing a vtuber rig sometimes02 May 2026 06:44 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mku267pdik22https://bsky.app/profile/engineerkappa.net/post/3mktiijpl2s2pI think the next game I make, I should do the endgame first so I have more stuff I can post about towards second half of that game's development Or making a game where plot spoilers are just a non-issue02 May 2026 01:28 +0000at://did:plc:4rh43tneytbzigosg6eitovq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mktiijpl2s2p
