#introduction time, figured we should make a proper Mastodon account for #spacestation14 itself to post progress reports and stuff with.
We're a 100% #opensource multiplayer game about disaster on a space station.
I figured this instance would be a good place for this account since we're open source and anybody can contribute!

A beta for 99.0 has been released! This version adds better search in the save browser, and boosts fps in Fire/Fancy displays by putting rendering into another thread. There's also now in-game credits, a new tools api for creating Lua tools, and various simulation / crash fixes. Download: tpt.io

Third, er, Fourth try's the charm? You found some bugs that needed fixing before the full release of OpenTTD 15. Let's do one last (we hope) Release Candidate.
We've fixed two crashes related to station windows and signs, a hang related to implicit orders, and have stopped cacti from dying off completely with some tree spread settings.

Take a grid, for each line add 1 to all points on a randomly picked side of that line, paint points black if the result equals 0 to 1 mod 4, and you get a hitomezashi pattern.

Fun comparison: Just the male/female hero sprites total 140 MiB, which is slightly larger than the *entire* game data included in v1.14.
-
I finally got around to updating the female hero sprites. Thankfully, most of the hard work (lighting, textures, etc) was done for the male sprites.
In the same vein, I've come close to completing the NPCs as well. They now have 8 directions, instead of just facing east or south.

They say that making "roguelikes" makes things easier for developers.
But Rogue devs wanted a game that was exciting every time you played it. That is definitely HARDER than making a game that is exciting once.
Procgen games take ages to mature. Otherwise they feel repetitive.
For example:
-
open world test
#pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev
-
grass test
#pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev
-
It's a little thing, but these boulders previously didn't have a "death" animation. So they would just kind of disappear.
With the art refresh, they now crumble as one would expect. All thanks to Blender's particle and physics systems. We really are blessed to have such and incredible tool for free.

Getting back to Flare dev after taking a bit of a break for the summer (Umamusume hit me like a freight train).
The "HD" art is getting there. I finished the rest of the snow tileset today, so that means all the original tilesets are complete.
I've also made an in-engine map generator. The system places pre-built "chunks" connected by "links". I plan to use this for a new dungeon in v1.15. Accessible from the start, but ties into the main story later.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@andrewteo/115237131965563285
Extremely exciting to see something built with #flarerpg take shape.
Andrew's been doing a fantastic job of pushing the boundaries of the engine. It's been pushing me to adapt new features and improve performance in way that I might not otherwise if I was just working on the Empyrean Campaign.

There should be a genre of "genreless" games. A good genreless game is good because it has unique ideas that make it different from everything else. At the same time, it is a perfect realization of that idea, and/or that idea is difficult to replicate, so it does not start a genre.

I've been playing around optimizing the temperature simulation. That's right, it's a full fledged simulation within the game! It's not only particular rooms that get cold... the cold spreads!
The stairs were not taken into account before, and there were some problems on choke points. So now I have optimized this to get a fast spread (so it doesn't take forever), and also fast in CPU terms (<1ms in my CPU).
What is shown in the video is a debug mode to understand and visualize temp flow - that's not part of the final game.

Fairly busy week, but I was able to patch up our sprite sheet packer tool to support multi-image Flare animation files.
This was essential, because the wyvern and minotaur images are huge. Each of their actions is 8 frames, which is already more than a lot of the other creatures. Unpacked as a single sheet, they're each over 20K pixels wide! My target for images is <4096px square to support (relatively) older gfx cards. I can hit that goal if each action is its own file.
#flarerpg #gamedev
-
Wyverns and minotaurs are now in the new scale. Roughly around the half-way point now. Here's the progress:
- Player: 64/129
- Enemies: 15/26
- NPCs: 0/8
- Loot: 38/38
- Menus: 30/37
- UI widgets: 14/15
- Power VFX: 11/25
- Map tilesets: 2/4

Cave tileset is just about done. Something fun I thought I'd try is animated water. There are already 28 unique water tiles, so I wanted to keep the frame count as low as possible. I think I got decent results with 2 frames. #flarerpg #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #rpg #arpg

Unhaunter v0.3.0-beta3 is out! I need help with testing. Let me know if you play it. https://www.unhaunter.com/beta/

One of the trickier assets to migrate has been the blast animation for the Burn spell. It (like most VFX) is fairly emissive and has a transparent background, so the alpha gets messed up. There's the "Alpha Convert" node, but that doesn't completely fix it. Then, the fire/smoke particles were drawn as "halos", which no longer exist in EEVEE or Cycles.
I think I managed to get pretty close to the original look.

Revised the gold piles a bit. Smaller coin and two times the coins per pile. Looks much better IMO, even though the coin count is less representative of the actual thresholds (5, 25, 100)
-
A late #ScreenshotSaturday. Loot drop animations are ported over now. Though there's still texture work needed for some. And maybe the gold drop coins are too big? The looked fine at the lower scale, but they seem out of scale with the player now.

And the new system I decided it is going to be AM5. If I have to replace everything to be sure, I will do it well. So 9800X3D it is with DDR5.
-
I had a 5800X for over 4 years, seems that it was defective since the beginning on the PCIe controller. I just pushed it too far on last Saturday that it completely broke...
-
My computer broke last Saturday and after day and a half of debugging, disassembling and reassembling, seems CPU+motherboard needs replacement... So no computer until new parts arrive. At least for a week.... No Unhaunter development will happen... Sad.

TPT 99.3 is out! Since there were so many bugfixes this month, we decided to do another minor release. Some of the bugs are very old, like gravity wall leaks while undoing, or an infinite pressure bug in the corner. Others were new, like elements being missing in certain older saves.
-
Windows users using the portable version of 99.1 will get a GAME CRASH when updating to 99.2. It is still safe to run the update. The old instance of TPT will bluescreen, and the new instance will launch. Close the old instance of TPT, and then delete the file Powder_upd.exe that it leaves behind.
-
Another new minor version has been released - TPT 99.2. It fixes some newly-added bugs from TPT 99.1. That means the fps display is back in line with how it was before (no 0.00 FPS while paused), and some bugs on high refresh rate monitors were fixed.

I like how the water flows in some games (Terraria, Noita) but unfortunately, these games are wrong about physics: connected surfaces do not balance to the same level.
Here is a simple simulation which does balance correctly. The @ is taken by the currents. #rulfoa

Fixed a bug in #CDogsSDL with a funny history: muzzle flashes weren’t showing when the player is just in front of a door…
Ages ago I added a feature that left bullet marks on walls and doors. Problem was the bullet marks would show if the doors opened, floating in the air, so to fix this I hid any particles that were
- in front of an open door
- mid-air
- not moving
But guess which particles also fit that description? That’s right, muzzle flashes!

Today I'm fixing a 2-decade lie - #CDogsSDL doesn’t look like C-Dogs… until now!
Like many #DOS games, C-Dogs was designed with non-square pixel aspect ratios in mind. When displayed using square pixels, the little dudes in the game look like tubby gnomes, but really they are chads with beer bellies! In fact, for many years all the screenshots of C-Dogs SDL (and C-Dogs too) were LIES!
I’ve added a DOS PAR config to the game, thus bringing balance to the universe.

Added a small and low impact fix to #CDogsSDL: bark interrupts
Maybe you’re a #GameDev vet and know what that means, otherwise: “barks” are short voice clips characters say, like “huh?” when waking up or “aargh” when dying. If these don’t interrupt each other, they could play simultaneously, which sounds wrong (or they have two mouths?)
It’s a feature that you don’t notice unless it’s missing. To demonstrate it, I grenade a character to smithereens, naturally.

ship capturing is to be reworked as per https://codeberg.org/naev/naev/issues/3338
you will have to physically tow disabled ships to a spaceport, then talk to an NPC to repair them
as per https://codeberg.org/naev/naev/issues/3376 weapons now have explicitly specified knockback and recoil stats! that opens up some opportunities for fun knocking around enemies without the need for scripting.
https://codeberg.org/naev/naev/issues/3377 - this hasnt quite landed yet, but the weapon code is to be more flexible (to allow for e.g. guided bolts)

v0.8.2
--
Another day, another save game editor bug :-)
This time a user reported, that the game crashes after the next match. By sending me his save game file, I was able to discover the bug very fast. Matches with deleted teams and leagues still existed and therefore the game crashed.
https://99managers.org/blog/v0-8-2/
-
Please don't delete teams/leagues with the save game editor and if you still did, please try to recover a backup of the save game, by clicking on "Backup" in the save games screen. There you should be able to load a version that still has the deleted teams/leagues.
I will release an update v0.8.2 by the end of the day to fix this and disable all team/league deletions in the save game editor.

Save game editor bug in v0.8.0 and v0.8.1

There is a new known bug in the save-game editor: it is still possible to delete leagues and teams within a save game with the editor, and when that is done, the game crashes after the next match.

v0.8.1
--
As expected v0.8.0 introduced a bug with the save game editor. Thanks to a player that reported the reproducible bug, I was able to fix it already. So this version brings two bug fixes and small league/team size checks in the editor.
No new features are introduced.
https://99managers.org/blog/v0-8-1/

That will no doubt come back to haunt the maintainers by harming the maintainability of the project.
Any amount of leniency allows vibed code, which is made with no reproducible steps, to gradually grow in size.
As an open-source maintainer myself I recommend and practice a zero-tolerance policy.

A player found a bug with the save game editor: when the save game editor is used, the global date gets reset to season start to the 1st of July, and this causes that there is a big gap to the next match, but can cause also bugs with date related logic, like contracts and transfers.
I found the cause and fixed it, but I will keep testing the game for the rest of the day, to find other bugs and minor improvement to make. By the end of the day there will be an update v0.8.1 with the fixes.

Finally my game @99managers was built as reproducible build on f-droid build server 🍾
I think this is the first reproducible godot game on F-Droid and I hope it will help others to make also their games reproducible. It was a lot of work but with help from the awesome F-Droid maintainer linsui it finally worked.
Now my merge request still has to be merged, but once that is done, the game will finally be available also on F-Droid.

Added input overlays to #CDogsSDL!
Once upon a time, when C-Dogs was a DOS freeware game, you were expected to read a README to figure out what the controls are (and likely remap them before you play the game). These days it’s not good enough, and new players are often heard saying “what are the controls???”
So now, the menu and game controls are overlaid, and react dynamically! This should help especially in local multiplayer with multiple gamepads

To me, like books, games are a small piece of people's souls. As long as they are made with love and without genAI/LLMs.
Wish everyone had the chance to make at least one game in their life before they die. A mini-game would suffice, as well, for the smallest experience can still hold a soul piece.

Implemented E1L16 of #CrystalCaves, which means all 16 levels are playable in #OpenCrystalCaves! This level features windy pipes without big set pieces, making it visually unimpressive and easy to get lost in, but it’s a very fun level imo because the maze-like one-way platforms means you need to think and plan your route.
Alas before calling episode 1 complete I need to implement the intro/outro levels, which are … far from complete

Two new "hats" are almost ready for release, adding some melee action to the game. One is inspired by Pax Tux, the other by Sir Optimize. Each provides directional protection against magic - one reflects fireballs, the other prevents being frozen - and both catch arrows.

More particle effects for #CDogsSDL: sparkles for the freeze effect! This is a more radical change: the old effect was “petrify” and it turned the character grey. Now it turns the character light blue with sparkles.
Why? The freeze effect is more widely known and also accurately implies a temporary effect, compared to petrify which is more common in RPGs.
Also bonus feature by a new contributor: see the mission briefing via the in-game menu!

Wrote a #blog post about a game making philosophy I care deeply about. I love games that do more than just entertain, but enrich your life, by teaching interesting subjects, imparting wisdom, or inspiring with impactful stories. Games are uniquely good at this: understand complex systems via interaction, or experience empathy by living in another’s shoes.

Shortly after putting out the new Tux! release a few hours ago, a bug was discovered. The combination of the new sliding shells with the freeze spell had not been considered, but an idea was instantly born and executed:
With the latest commit, frozen shells will freeze players upon impact, on top of dealing damage.

Tux! now shows a preview of the selected level before starting a match, and has gained a command-line flag to run the game in a mode that makes taking consistent screenshots a breeze.
The background of the main menu also gained some detail in the form of rocks, hills and grass blades.
Furthermore, keyboard and gamepad navigation of the UI has been significantly improved.
Expect a new release soon!

@Arwalk Yes, some of us are old. On this photo of April 2007 you can see illwieckz's name (current Unvanquished project head) in the log of a Tremulous server running on a SGI O2 in a student LAN party. 👴️

@dhalucario Yes it's similar. Unvanquished is a continuation of Tremulous (Quake 3 mod) inspired from Gloom (Quake 2 mod). Natural Selection is an Half Life mod as you said. Different lineages, but similar “Aliens vs Humans” gameplay. 🙂️

More eye-candy and also an important gameplay bug fixed for #CDogsSDL. Added flame particles, so anyone taking damage from a flame-type weapon visibly looks like they’re on fire!
The bug fix is missing “squares” in randomly generated levels. This is a big deal because it’s such a key part of the experience - details in alt text!

Added BONUS eggs in #OpenCrystalCaves!
A classic easter egg in #CrystalCaves. Did you ever shoot these? If you did they seem to leave random letters that are worth 100 points, but the eggs alone are 1000 points. Smarter not to shoot them right?
This is where the game tricks you! Because the letters aren't random, they exactly spell BONUS (there are always 5 eggs when they appear), and the last gives you 10000 points!

Hey Rat Punchers!
I've just released one tiny final patch for Shattered Pixel DUngeon v3.3, mainly just a little internal cleanup and fixes for a couple minor bugs. I'll hopefully be starting up on sharing more incremental updates about the next major update here soon!
#gamedev #indiedev

@gperson Also one thing to know is that for now we only build amd64 builds using Darling. With Rosetta 2 working great, we're not yet producing arm64 macOS builds so we haven't investigated that in Darling. Also one shouldn't be surprised if the old Darling build we still use is probably not good enough for that (we don't know). Time will tell! 🙂️
-
@gperson Yes we do! It's very cool indeed 😎️
Though it's very experimental, also the lack of darling releases for a lot of years, and for the very long time the latest ones having serious bugs making them unusable, our build system is painfully designed around the limitations of those old builds. But at least, once everything is figured out and scripted, things work reliably! 🙂️
I've heard that
#Darling released a new version last month, we will likely evaluate it. 😉️
Next version of Unvanquished which should come in some days will still be built using the old Darling because of all the possible pain from working around limitations we don't know yet. 😄️
But yes, it starts being usable for the one not afraid and with enough endurance and problem-solving skill, and it should become easier and easier in the future. Go Darling Go! 🚀️

Time for an overdue #screenshotsaturday! The new Iron Labyrinth dungeon is shaping up nicely. I also add 9 new skills, 3 for each class. My fave is Rupture, which has some new art. Also been making new cutscenes to replace the old GIMP filtered screenshots. #flarerpg #gamedev

Hey folks!
I've been busy with expanding the tester area for Shattered Pixel Dungeon's new quest in patches to v3.3. In this blog post I'm going over all of the things I've added, and how I think they're going to fit together into a new quest!

Some fun with searching for keywords in Steam reviews. People who misspell #roguelike as "rougelike" consistently review everything higher. [thread]

I need advice for my game @99managers
that I want to release it for Android soon, but I still don't know how to price it there.
The plan is to do the same as I'm doing for PC, where the game is free on itch.io, Flathub etc. but payed on Steam. So I would release the game for Android for free on F-Droid and other platforms but payed on Google Play Store for a price between 1€ and 5€.
Any suggestions or experience to share about this?

🔥 Look at this beauty I made with Python and Textual to help me w/ my gamedev work!
It simply lists all sound files in the current folder and allows me to play each one w/ a single click! I know it looks simplistic, but believe me, this is all it needs to be very helpful.
Allow me to explain...

HyperRogue is now verified for SteamDeck! ✅
A perfect game/platform match: mostly only movement so no need for complex buttons, joystick is good for its non-Euclidean movement directions, bigger screen and more powerful hardware are a better fit for infinity than phones.

Some of the latest additions to our Downloads section in the game menu include several tracks by Gunny, among them this spectacular WoodenRally, which is so remindful of the Rally of Finland.
No less important is the work done by @W-E-C on the interior and animated drivers of the Kafka Color RS1, as well as the setup by @RacingHeartGT and some touches from other users.
...and this video is an example of both:
