Prediction: Avi Arad is going to cast Tom Holland as Link and everyone's going to lose their stuffing over it.

Also, he'll be fine. It'll be fine.

I would really like to wrap up my playthrough of Dragon Warrior for the NES this weekend.

I'm so happy Unity decided to self-destruct! I mean, sorry for your losses and all, but... Not only is #Godot getting so much great attention, but I swear it's also driven more devs to Mastodon seeking out experienced #GodotEngine devs to chat with, collab, follow, and learn from! The #gamedev community has felt really lively lately!

If you're a gamedev using godot, please say hello in the replies and maybe more folks can find each other to follow!

@CodexArcanum Hey I love godot and made a few games in the engine, most of them pretty small. You can check them out on my itch page: https://mcoorlim.itch.io/

@CodexArcanum Hey, I appreciate the vote of confidence in the videos. They're a blast to make.

It is incredibly frustrating that the only thing more stupid than Patreon is all the alleged Patreon substitutes that clearly don't even understand what Patreon does.

Pro tip: Patreon has no meaningful competitors, and also it sucks, so there's a huge opportunity for somebody to kick sand in its face and take its lunch money. But to do that you would have to understand what actually Patreon does that is worth it to creators to allow Patreon to take 5% of their proceeds (and then pass on to them a second 5% in payment processing fees).

@siderea dang, kinda wish I'd gone with by-work funding. Sucks that they won't let you change it.

mcoorlim,
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@siderea I might consider it for a dedicated side project account.

The need for multiple accounts being another pain point.

FINALLY wrapped up part 2 of my Ultima IV narrative analysis. Took a month to edit the last 30 minutes for... reasons. #retrogaming #narrativeDesign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHiYoC-7O1A

Unity kills Runtime Fee for Personal users, will only apply per-install charges for devs on Pro or Enterprise licenses who upgrade to new version of Unity next year

@GIbiz too late, we all know you're prone to updating TOS and retroactively

mcoorlim, to godot
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

My youtube channel gradually morphed into narrative design analysis of older CRPG and adventure games, but since a lot of people are switching to I'm wondering if I should start a new channel for devlogs and tips.

@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@lidsel Yikes! Thanks for pointing it out.

mcoorlim, to godot
@mcoorlim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I only bothered finishing one Unity project before switching to #godotEngine but I'm going to go ahead and delete it from itch.io.

Sep 2: What could you change about your world to make it better for most people?

Racism and sexism. The world has advanced a lot in terms of declawing capitalism, which creates a huge updraft for women, poc, indigenous people, queer/trans people, etc. Economics are the tool of oppression, after all, but white supremacy and patriarchy are still implicit in all kinds of systems of power, not to mention individual prejudice.

@orionkidder I drink coffee. Running out of coffee and needing to make more is distracting.

#WritersCoffeeClub Sept 2: On a scale of plotter to pantser, what are you?

Fwiw, I Ike GRRM's metaphor better: architects and gardeners. Anyway, I start with a concept and then let myself discover as I go. Once/if I find something interesting, I write down outlines and character sketches, but they're mostly a record of what I found than they are a plan that I intend to follow. Basically, I plan to wander.

So I dunno, 20% architect/80% gardener?

@orionkidder I have to read my drafts aloud. It's part of my revision process.

The new goal for my game is to have a theme song as good as the one in Red Dwarf.

An analytical playthrough of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar. This is part one - there's a lot to talk about here - the keyword dialog system, the reagent based magic system, the orthopraxic ethical framework and moral grindset.

@splendorr @eobet glad you like the videos! I'm going to cover games in a rough chronological order... Possibly Dragon Quest next.
