@JanOrszulik @JezCorden Given the choice between one good thing and two bad things, the player will always (eventually) choose the one good option and ignore others. This design pattern is implemented in hopes of diversifying the gameplay experience but I think it ends up doing the exact opposite

I have a big axe and I'm not afraid to throw it

Somehow, water still roars through these decrepit old pipes... #gamedev #indiegame #zig

I don't know what to call these things. Bugs? Turtles?

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: https://t.co/2d9aVuUsxj

The SURPRISE is:

Order of the Sinking Star will have a free demo on Steam, for NextFest, Monday.

Because the game is HUGE, the demo is huge: it's bigger than most entire paid puzzle games, and you get to try it out for free.

Something we've been working on...

There is a certain clarity in the low poly look of those older games that gets lost a bit when doing a remake like this.

Excited to announce "Hotel Infinity", a game where you explore a mysterious hotel in roomscale #VR

It's a follow-up to Manifold Garden and builds on a lot of the same ideas (portals, impossible spaces, etc)

Launching in 2025 for #PSVR2 and #MetaQuest3

It's sad to me how many people have no idea that the important part of the "Clean Code: Horrible Performance" video is not the direct cost of a dynamic dispatch. The far worse cost is the resulting inability to merge code paths - both your inability, and the compiler's.

[Sebastian Aaltonen @SebAaltonen]

Unit tests have lots of advantages, but cons are ignored:
- Code must be split to testable parts. Often requiring more interfaces, which add code bloat and complexity.
- Each call site is a dependency. Test case = +1 dependency. Added inertia to refactor and throw away code.
