How is this comment helpful in any way? In the future when you want to voice your thoughts outloud, maybe just save everybody the trouble and don't.
Why spent time learning when I can deep dive into a project and spent three times as long working on it bcz I have to learn how to do things first?
I don't use bing, I use duckduckgo. If they start prioritizing AI results, I'll change search engines again.
Slavery over in the U.S... right
Fuck this guy. He's a genocidal maniac
Why should drug companies be profitable at all? Seems like the perfect thing to be nationalized and/or even considered a basic necessity.
This should be the leading story around the world. It's crazy that this isn't shouted from the rooftops.
Right...
I would believe that. I still think the media crucified him unnecessarily after the debate. Plenty of shitty policies to criticize him over. I'm honestly surprised at how quickly people turned on him after most people on here saying he's old, but he's doing OK as president and ill vote for him. Makes me wonder if lemmy has the same bot problem everywhere else does.
Nope, watched the first 30 minutes of it. Unless he had a literal stroke the last half hour. He did fine. Just looked old and tired, which apparently means he did awful in the debate. Meanwhile, trump lied constantly, and didn't answer half of the questions he was asked. But all anybody talked about after the debate is how bad Biden did, and how he should step down.
I still don't get all the gaslighting. I watched the Biden Trump debate, and Biden did just fine.
Wow you've really been doing double time complaining about stuff all over lemmy. Do you have any thoughts that aren't negative?
Oh, you have a crystal ball and already saw what happened in the future?
I didn't say any of that. With only four months until the election, I think this is kind of dumb.
Essence of Grimm game jam demo
Made a soulslike for The Dusty Old Game Jam! Been working on this for a little over 6 months. Posted a few times here. Im pretty happy with the state of the game. Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed making it https://storeboughtrocketgames.itch.io/essence-of-grimm
Tell everybody they're bailing out the banks and everyone will get on board yesterday
The 6 year old in me is very disappointed to learn that Hulk Hogan is a dumb piece of crap.
Ah, right, they want to sleep outside and beg for food and shelter. And the mental illness will just walk away if they decide they want it too.
First 3D print - Cloud from the original FF7
This was my very first 3D print on an Anycubic Photon D2. Turned out much better than I expected
What bedtime routine helps you sleep?
It's no secret that people with adhd often have sleep issues. I certainly do. I'm curious what bedtime routine helps others sleep. My partner likes to read a boring book before bed, but I struggle to read books unless they are engaging. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
Essence of Grimm - My first tutorial boss
First look at the tutorial boss I'm working on for The Dusty Old Game JamMusic Credit: Ancient War by Makai Symphony https://makai-symphony.com/
This is my entry to The Dusty Old Game Jam. It's the first real boss fight I've ever made, and I think it's coming along nicely.
This is just the first encounter with the boss. Subsequent encounters start the fight immediately. Also got a cool jump attack, and several variety of regular attacks working since I recorded this the other day.
P.s. sorry if the quality is bad. I used OBS to record this, welcome to any suggestions of something else that will get me higher quality video.

Made a mushroom cave for the tutorial area in my game. I'm excited to show this to people. Looks super awesome! Almost ready to start adding more enemies into the game.
Essence of Grimm - Fight Sleepy in a cave
This is my entry to the Dusty Old Game Jam on itch. Some early progress of the tutorial area in the game.
Think I made the cave about twice as large as it needs to be

Managing enemy spawn large world
I'm doing this in Unreal Engine 5, but how this is done should be relevant for any engine, minus the details of spawning and despawning.
Anybody know how large games handle spawning and despawning enemies? One idea I had was to have a really large sphere around the player that spawns enemies when the player overlaps spawn points. But that could get tricky to implement. Another idea I had was to spawn enemies as the player enters different areas, and just put them to sleep/deactivate them until the overlap a large player sphere.
Would love to know other people's thoughts on this. I'm looking for something that has good performance and scalability. I'm going to start testing ideas soon. But would be great if someone already knew of a solution that works.

Made quite a bit of progress since the last time I posted. Got a whole leveling system, a weapon slot to swap in and out weapons, and more save features for the weapon, and player stats, health, etc. It's starting to actually feel like I could play this for a couple hours... of course I shouldn't bcz it's horribly unbalanced and has two enemies at the moment. Hope you like it!
p.s. the UI is ugly as all hell, it's a work in progress

Finally starting to feel like a real game. The jam this is for has made me feel like I could actually take this game all the way to the finish line and release it. Got a long road ahead of me, but I'm making progress, little by little.

I've made some progress on a save system for my inventory, chests, and items in the level. It's starting to feel like the mechanics of a game are there, and you could play this.
The Dusty Old Game Jam has really put my butt in gear on this one. I finally feel motivated, like I might actually take a game to the finish line.
Essence of Grimm - Multi-player Inventory System
Started working on an inventory system for my game. I'm most of the way through, and it's starting to look quiet nice. As an added bonus, the series I'm foll...
Been working on this game for a while now. Decided to add an inventory system. The series I'm following is great, and even has some multi-player set up for the inventory duplication.

Been working on this game for about 4 months. Still a lot of work to do, but I think the combat is starting to look pretty good.
