Front end development engineer at TST. GaTech alumni. I know some things about game development, and a few more things about playing them.

I completed a game for Ludum Dare 51 this weekend: Crash Landed!

@KenneyNL Working on a 3rd person ARPG. Spent a really long time getting the item and stat systems working. The video shows a unique item that triggers an explosion every 10th hit, but only if the hits actually use the weapon itself!

@KenneyNL The gutters on mobile are a too wide. There's a good chunk of my screen that's being wasted.

@Benjaminsen I know you from player io way back in the day. But I also am in software?

@bbopaus1999 @LocalThunk I just realized that I also never consulted a wiki about this game. Everything is right there, and all of the combinations are obvious when presented.

@cnviolations I watched this movie and it felt like a whole 20 minutes passed and the credits were rolling. I've never experienced another movie like it.

@Carls493 @FireThePyro During the hit stop the spring wiggles back and forth. This was an air fsmash, min min landed, and the spring wiggles. Just a funny screenshot.

@Phantom_TheGame Character limit, but I put maybe 4 or 5 hours a week into it. Just an evening session a few times a week.

And no, it's all off the shelf stuff mostly. Vercel, PlanetScale, Prisma. All free/hobby tier during prototyping.

@armyoftrolls Oh the Sony one. I had to do like 12 dice pip counting things in a row, got one of them wrong and then had to do like 7 or 8 long audio comprehension quizzes. I was fuming.

@esjesjesj Prediction: someone's going to suffocate in it.

@mooriams Counterpoint: Do it, that shit looks boss.

Two days after setting the World Record Hype Train on @Twitch the community has shattered it again. This is absolutely wild.

For the second time in a week I am humbled by you all. There are no words for how amazing you are. Thank you.

Go make games. 💜💛

@PirateSoftware @valvesoftware So wait, why is it bad to get other players' IP addresses? If a router isn't expecting traffic from a source, it drops the packets. Even if you're communicating on a port, if you receive traffic from a source you haven't requested from, packets are drop'd. Am I missing something?

@ccoss15 @PirateSoftware This was literally my first stream of his, I joined about 30 minutes before the train started.

[Zachary Tarvit @TestSubject06]

@PirateSoftware 2 hours and 8,000 viewers VS 100,000 viewers and 7 hours. LFG!!

@TheHiggybaby @SovanJedi We need to go deeper

@TryMetafy Anyone who chooses not to sit down for story time with scar is wrong.

@LarryLurr Buff Kirby max air speed and air acceleration. Just a little, nothing crazy just like 15% faster.

[Zachary Tarvit @TestSubject06]

@risu_ika @DirtyBeastGames In isolation, each tile looks fantastic, but as a whole composition I feel like I can't breathe. There's just so much happening all at once.

[Zachary Tarvit @TestSubject06]

@daftasabat @the_photino Technically we're heading its way.
