For anyone who saw me experience a frustrating bug in my last stream at @wesley I have found a post about the issue from late last year:

https://forum.godotengine.org/t/adding-an-instantiated-scene-to-the-tree-correctly-creates-a-problem/57032/10

I don’t have time to write up exactly how this relates to my problem, but iykyk. In the meantime I am trying to come up with a solution.

#GodotEngine #GameDev #GameMath

Adding an instantiated scene to the tree correctly creates a problem?

Well, it solves your problem. So… Yes! That being said, it’s still quite a bit of extra work to solve a (seemingly) trivial problem. So if I were you, I’d still open up an issue on GitHub in the hopes of this being avoidable altogether.

I’m pushed out another alpha release for my latest #GameJam project!

Devlog here: https://cryptidblade.itch.io/career-pathology/devlog/907701/career-pathology-v010

This is my longes stint of #GameDev yet, and I’m not stopping. I have been working on projects in #GodotEngine since last October, and I have 3 more jams planned over the next couple of months. Continuing to work on this last jam’s game is keeping the momentum going 💪

Also, if you didn’t know, I’ve been streaming ever so slightly more often on my #Owncast channel. So, stop by and say hey!

Career Pathology is in development! Please forgive that I never did a proper devlog for the jam release, or the 0.0.1 release, but we’re here with version 0.1.0. I decided to give this one a y-point...

Today was quite productive in #kikai the whole unit editing-compiling-testing-debugging flow is currently in-place, not super polished of course but it's fully functional.

I also implemented the Radio device, which allows talking between units using arbitrary byte streams!

Here's today's devlog explaining and showing both of these features, let me know if you have any questions: https://marcecoll.itch.io/kikai/devlog/895780/fully-featured-unit-development-radio-device

We are getting closer to a Sandbox demo where you'll be able to write code for your own units.

With #FediJam nearing its deadline, I've been working on customization and accessibility options for my game. 🙂

Yes, it's a game jam, and this is one area of many where jam games typically cut quality corners to save dev time. But accessibility has kinda become part of my personal brand, so I don't want to skimp here.

It's a dexterity game, which won't appeal to everyone. But the goal is that anyone can at least try it.

#gamedev update--

I started this project as a "let's learn Godot" project while I was jobsearching, and as it became more and more obvious that the market was in way too weird a position for someone like to me to find something easily (definitely not junior, but an eclectic enough background that I think people don't know what to make of me sometimes), I began to explore.

I had this idea for a bullet-hell but if you touched enemies it turned in to a turn-based RPG battle, and I explored it as best I could.

But I think what I've found was, I've long since passed the scale of complexity with this idea that I could finish as a solo dev.

I think there's a ton of potential here, but I'm feeling stuck. I think in order to move forward and ship -something- (an increasingly common application requirement) I need to cut the innovative stuff and just put out a fun little minimalist roguelike bullethell and call it a day.

fedi gamedevs, any thoughts about this? I've been too deep in the weeds for too long.

This is pretty neat! Steam making demo releases behave essentially like F2P releases doesn't really erode space indies were leveraging. In fact it shoulders in on a space currently dominated by uhhhh mostly garbage.
