Nintendo approved my Wii U build, yay

@DMGregory There is a small part of me that wants to be hyper-cynical and think that they had the new position already prepared and they went with the absolute most damaging position first so that any lighter one would be reasonably readily accepted.

They say there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers... Whoever said that hasn't been on gdse

I do not want to have to justify to the ethics review board whether my research meets an objective definition of "fun" 😂

weeks of programming can save you hours of planning

I'm enjoying the design discussion on that question about dealing with players under-powering themselves by skipping upgrades. 😁

Today in "I sold everything to finance a game, now it's time to find out if the game is actually feasible to even make!"

do you ever want to just grab people by the head and hold their face down in a pool of smart until they stop struggling and grow a common sense gland

Deleting is the best refactoring

It's been a blast actually working directly on the game I've been modding and hacking for nearly a decade. :P

I've got Tallowmere IndieGameStand codes to give away! The game is currently in alpha and made by our own @Chris! Ping me if you are interested.

I finished my first game. It’s not very much and has some issues, but I’m proud of it.

Unnecessary suspension isn't a proper solution.

@JohnMcDonald congratulations on winning the jam!

@SpartanDonut Yup, nobody cared to star it: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jcpmcdonald.forsparta

A completed project of that magnitude shows you're good at getting shit done

Elevator.js is pretty funny

We should be grateful for any time you guys spend to help us as none of you are required to help us at all in the first place

Well, got some great news! My retro arcade game is essentially done. Now, I'm off to make the artwork and animations.

Happy Father’s Day!

We've found it's been a really useful place to consolidate issues we're struggling with, either in terms of quality issues, more specific content issues, meta difficulties, etc. The mod team started doing it a couple of years after some significant turmoil, and some attacks on our communities had just happened.

Unreal Engine is now free!

I don't think a choice has to be irrevocable in order to be meaningful. LEGO is still fun without superglue.

@Evorlor Press CTRL+R and then a couple of characters of the command you want. That searches through your command history and makes it much easier to find what you want.

#1 what's your goal? My goal on my projects is "publish a finished product"

I wonder why people making offline single player games, spend plenty of time trying to prevent cheating

Learning how to learn is the best skill to have

Holy crap. Godot Editor is a Godot game. It runs on the Godot Engine. The editor itself is made wholly inside itself.

if you code while drunk, make sure you have a version control system

As part of a complex system for processing data & information, 1's & 0's can do a lot.

Sometimes I think unit tests are relatively good at showing off functionality, better than a list of functions and their descriptions because you have self-contained compilable working examples including setup code.

This chat room has given my such inspiration and helps me keep going :D
