Regular software engineer by day, game dev at night.
I made a super hard game 'Rockade!'
Currently building an #assets manager for #gamedev:

In 2019 I made a game about a certain orange person defending their swamp and somehow 4 years later the topic is still relevant 😅

Someone created a tool that allows you to open Unity .prefab and .unity with Godot Engine.

@VeraBurd97 Related: Right after university I applied at a studio who were just looking for "talented people". so I sent a crappy portfolio of low quality 2d/3d assets along with videos of game prototypes I made, while my actual strength was programming🤦‍♂️. Ofc I didn't get hired 😀

Orlop Asset Manager v1.1 now shows pretty previews and a play animation for audio assets. 💅
Also, everybody loves checkered backgrounds for transparent images, so I added this as well. Enjoy!

Quote retweet with four projects you've worked on

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

@bramreth Good luck 😬

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

@YuriSizov If your game/idea is popular there will always be someone making a direct clone of it or even decompile it and release on their own. It happens all the time (fruit ninja, townscaper, ...). Ideas can be stolen - unique style + excellent execution is what keeps the originals ahead.

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

At first I thought I messed up the keyframes in #Blender3d but apparently quicktime player can't handle looping videos well... 🤷‍♂️

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

@jasonrohrer How could it open and walk through the door from (4,2)?
🤔

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

@EarlyOwl1 I carry around a notebook. Whenever I have Idle time (waiting for / riding the bus) I can think about the game and take notes sketch out ideas or draw something for it.

Also, task prioritization is crucial.

The 3D model viewer of my Asset Manager is getting some more advanced preview options 🤖

@KayLousberg Awesome! Reminds me of the style in Luigi's Mansion 2 ❤️

[Jaume Sanchez Elias 🇺🇦 @thespite]

This is an open letter to ask everyone to stop doing mindblowing stuff with 3D graphics. Let me catch up, i'm still figuring out backface culling.

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

I'm (re)making a game again ❤️

#Godot4 #indiedev

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

While everyone is using next level #AI tooling, I managed to get my #github Actions to work properly by good old fashioned trial and error (and it only took 533 build minutes!).
Eat this #ChatGPT !
😎💅

[Tim Rach 🐊🚀 @eskappe]

I just managed to half the build size of Orlop to about 8MB on Win and Mac! Also CD/CI now works - but that isn't good twitter content, so watch me admiring @KayLousberg's Dungeon #Assets in Orlop ❤️

Orlop 0.9.5 is ready to publish on #itchio and #Testflight , but I decided to setup #github actions to automate the [Win/OSX/Linux] building and uploading. So until now all I have is a bunch of red jobs trying to get it right but no releases 🤷‍♂️

I just sped up the asset import flow in Orlop by reading a bit of tokio documentation and using my brain for once 👀. My largest bundle of ~40k files now needs 7 secs to import instead of 42 🤯🦀
