I made one with a weird game mechanics: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1778910/Let_It_Slide/
You have to drag to move. Sounds painful, and it is. That's really weird and you have to re-learn how to move your character, which can be frustrating and show how used we are to standard movements. After a few minutes you get used to it and it becomes fun.
I made it when I researched how to "physically" play differently.
So you're implying I am responsible for the "bad" things people will make with this (unknown) library. That I literally use for my everyday job for functionalities clients ask for. I stated that I use it to make my life easier and so I just shared it. "things that shouldn't be lerped" are a subjective/UX responsibility. As a creadev I try to propose good practices but I don't often have the final word.
(IMHO "lerp" scrolling is a truly horrible experience)
Neat, one of the best tricks in the creadev toolbox! ;)
Shameless plug: https://github.com/titoasty/zmooth I just published a JS library to easily make smooth interpolations, just by setting a "to" value (after doing it by hand for years) I hope you'll find it useful!
Non distracting, no vocals, can select a few different streams.
Similar here.
What's working for me is listening to the same lofi channel, which helps me focus without being disturbed by the music because it's, hmm, generically bland. Like some brain filling. But still enjoyable. (a bit harsh definition for a genre I like)
I become too emotionally invested when I listen to any other kind of music.
So lofi for work!
I can only encourage you to try yourself making a small font. It's amazingly playful and easy, and you can do it online here: https://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/ (yes, you can export as a ttf :) )
Here is a quick example of a 3x6 I made to test the tool: https://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/gallery/?id=1...
I get it, no problem. Some characters are extremely hard to make them fit in 3-4 pixels and I cheated on some too!
Yes, I was simply experimenting on how low you can go. I love small fonts! And Simplifier's one is clearly impressive.
You can go smaller. Here I made 3x3, 3x4, 3x5:

This. Exactly this.
I'm more into post-rock (gy!be <3) but I totally relate to your feeling. This massive/overload wall of sound blanketing your brain.
Even if there's nearly no lyrics in post-rock, it is strictly impossible for me to work while listening to it.
And shoegaze/postrock are something you have to enjoy with headphones. The work on stereo is always phenomenal. (I wonder if some bands used binaural beats to go further this way. kinda reminds me I-doser ;) )
Yep. 15 years later, still messed up. Not with delusions, but with the constant fear of being in that state again. The descent (is it the correct translation?) was more than particularly rough. I was kinda anxious before, but after it's been a constant hell of anxiety/depression/stress, avoiding anything that can trigger these feelings (yeah, I'm looking at you, sugar).
So be extreeemely careful with this.
My old portfolio (old because most links are dead now, but still use it)
If you're on desktop, you can enjoy the raymarched sphere with moving colors as you hover links.
Ooh yes, Northern lion could definitely rage on this. I should shoot him an email..
Thanks! Oh yes it's cute, this is the kind of aesthetic I aimed for, to counterbalance the pain of playing with cuteness. When I read this, I realize I'm a monster.
NL? Sorry I'm uneducated :)
Yeah no Mac version because I don't have a Mac to compile and try it.. :'( (maybe a Linux version coming later)
I launched a stupid game last week: Let It Slide. (if you like Altf4/getting over it/painful games)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1778910/Let_It_Slide/
It was my first entirely finished project: gameplay, 2d elements, sounds, musics (but not 3d). I'm just proud I finished this project, having a tendency to get bored extremely easily and only motivated by new stuffs (oh a bird!)
As a creative developer, my job is basically to make short life websites. Her is the way most of the websites I do are considered: when you make a communication campaign, the website is one of the medias used, like tv ad, print ad, ... So the websites only last for the duration of the campaign. Consider them as ads like any other print/tv/radio/.. ads
Let me tell you that all the considerations on accessibility have never been even discussed or even a few times laughed at.
Same here, thin but had no endurance and stamina, 12 hours on computer min. (working and playing)
I subscribed to Freeletics a few years ago (some months in, some out), and I developed a routine where "I don't have to think". Because if you have to think, even seconds, it's over.
So I wake up at 6:45, tired and not woke enough to think, foggy brain, then I run 3km and then Freeletics session. I just follow the orders, do what the app wants me to do, cry a bit, and boom, it's over. It's now 8am and I'm full of energy. And when my brain realizes what I've done, it's too late: I won.
That was my solution: don't think. Haha.
Wow, so much memories! BO, Nervous, BitchSlap, mIRC scripts... I also remember the famous NetBios hack at this time. Easy to do, and you felt like a real hacker! Command lines instead of GUI! That was an incredible feeling and it later brought me to Linux.. and still on Linux (ok on Ubuntu, I'm a casu now :D)
YMMV. Having worked with AprilTags and Aruco markers, I can already see the limitations in the short video. Resilience is very good, very very, but not under strong movements and particularly any kind of motion blur (I'm looking at you, cheap webcams) (the video has quite slow movements). A decent size for the markers is also a huge requirement (around 10cm per meter from the camera. With a 4k camera I reached 2cm per meter with Aruco markers). Pose estimation is still a tricky problem and solving it is challenging at best. All of this is impressive in a very controlled environment, but can be disappointing in real world environments (and non trained users). I'm very curious how they'll solve all of these!
ps: oh and you need totally flat markers.
Try to compare it with Nutella, just to see where it's going ;) I hope your couch is comfortable.
Yes those are all sweet. And it goes with the french(continental) breakfast which is awfully saturated in sugar (for kids mostly): chocolate milk, bread with jam/Nutella, orange juice, viennoiseries, even biscuits. Same for the "goûter", 4pm meal for kids. A lot of sugar...
Imagine that: there were riots in supermarkets because of a huge discount on Nutella, a few years ago. (try "émeutes Nutella" on youtube)
Oh they are! Tacos is their name, brick is their taste. Be proud of mexican-american tacos, they are the real deal.
Peanut butter is just non-existent because there are an amazingly huge number of jams, marmelades, local honeys. Ok this is theory and what people tell you. In fact, everyone is just totally addicted to Nutella. The one and only.
You're a man of culture. This is the way now.
YMMV very vastly, and it's only my experience, but here is my opinion on this food (I'm french).
Having tried a lot of french tacos in Paris, Lille & Lyon (approximately one per week), famous brands and local ones, I can definitely tell you that: I found that most taste like sht. By most, I mean 95%. Most taste like bricks of "food", without any distinctive taste, are very dry (the different sauces are sucked by french fries) BUT you will feel completely full. Not fast-food full, I used the word brick and it's the most appropriate IMHO. I tried a lot of restaurants, a lot of combinations, and I just gave up of this kind of food. And if you really like this kind of food, please try the best burrito of Lyon from Taco Taco. Das good sht.
I hope you'll prove me wrong and you'll point me to good french tacos. I'm fed up trying to find a good one :)
Having strong anxiety (from family and especially a bad mushroom experience that let me wrecked), I can only strongly recommend Escapadl advice.
The best combination has been cutting sugar definitely plus a lot of sports (freeletics + a lot of running. Running helps A LOT)
You can't imagine how sugar affects anxiety before cutting it entirely. This is insane. Just having some sugar raises my anxiety for a few days.
Just try to follow Escapado advice and you'll endure it way more easily.
The Dreams presentation is definitely a must-watch for anyone interested in sculpting. Their splatter tech is so amazingly neat that I can't wait to see it in more games. Didn't try clayxel and mudbun but they already were in my favorites, still waiting for any of them standing out ;)
Did you explore splatter rendering?
Very neat!
it reminds me of a recent experiment I did with raymarching & sculpting:
https://nico-boo.com/claysculpter/ (warning: only for desktop and not heavily tested)
You're using triangles? Did you make any progress with raymarching? I read you did some experiments.
If you're an absolute beginner, go with a modern engine like unity, game maker, cocos, ... If you're an average dev and knows js, phaser is very nice. (But do you only want to target browsers?)

As a developer using "game" web frameworks, I feel you're not wrong but you just missed an important point. Boilerplates are mostly used for learning and as reference rather than as a boilerplate that you'll effectively use. Yes they often are over-engi eered, I agree with you. But I deeply think that's not the point. To learn, they are perfect. To use, no. As a learning reference, yes. As a core architecture, that's risky.
And I won't even discuss about whether to use phaser over pixi/unity/any other framework. (ok my heart goes to pixi/howler without doubt over phaser) (that's between us)
