You wouldn't believe the number of people who sign up to mastodon.gamedev.place with the justification "I want to follow Ron Gilbert"

@aras @mdiluz I'll be curled up in a fetal position in the corner if anyone needs me.

Do you love games and love baking? If so this will be your last chance to get Jenn's amazing Edible Games Cookbook.

I'm in the process of packing up for my big move to NZ so you're likely to see lots of nostalgia posts over the next few weeks.

@forrestthewoods I'm married to an Australian.

@synlogic Nothing to do with politics. My wife is Australian and she missed the southern hemisphere.

@vger I've kept them in a dry, sealed place, right next to my magnet collection.

@bartholin I don't have the rights to share these. If I did I put put them on Github.

@xexyl I'm sure they did. There were no VCS options back then.

Thanks to @SilentNoise, I fixed my #aseprite scroll wheel zoom issue. It was a very confusing set of prefs.

@grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

This is driving me crazy. When using #aseprite The mouse wheel zooms but I want it to scroll. I have the option set, I'm uninstalled #aseprite, cleared all my setting. This used to work and my other Mac the wheel scrolls. My OCD is taking over and I can't do any work until this is fixed.

@richard5mith I just need it to work correctly. Something broke and I want to fix that.

@SilentNoise Yes! That is it. Thanks!

Enough progress that I earned an ice cream. It’s clocking through memory, stopping and starting.

@GrantMeStrength Brings back memories of a IMSAI 8080 in my Dad's physics lab. I used to toggle in small programs that drove an oscilloscope it what was a proto-game.

@grumpygamer I help young people into coding through starting code clubs at coderlevelup.org (in partnership with the Raspberry pi foundation), and we use scratch a lot (as well as some python and unity).

They love creating in it. Some of them have played and love monkey island.

Would you consider collaboration to make some scratch projects with monkey island assets that can be remixed by young makers?

grumpygamer,

@davidcampey I don't own the IP for Monkey Island. You would have to talk to Disney.

Tried to play Tunic today. First thing it does is try to connect to the internet. I blocked it (as I always do) and it just quits. No message, just won't run. If your game has a valid reason to connect to the internet, tell me otherwise I assume it's just to track me.

    AI has uses in games, generating mindless lazy content is not one of them.
