@garethjenkins you've been at GDC?!
-
@radiatoryang Wild Rumpus got called "a UK-based company that puts the social into social games" (not NYT, but)
-
@jennatar JENN when are you around til?
-
@jennatar aces! I'm leaving Wednesday. Let's do something that imvolves drinking.
-
@compositeredfox let's make plans. Wanna jam on Panoramical tomorrow?
-
@tef when was HRD plans?
-
@LeehSl when do you want to do a thing? I still need to interview you!
-
@compositeredfox Wednesday! And yeah, I feel that. Might head out to Noisebridge in a bit, or you could come this way?
-
@LeehSl I fell asleep instead. Noisebridge today? I am out in Oakland at David Kanaga's place.
-
@compositeredfox Ha, and here's me just arrived at Noisebridge. But I have a Skype call to make, and lunch to eat.
-
GDC is over, so I'm finally reading about the things that happened at GDC. Cart Life won 3 awards, you say?
-
@brandonnn @TenyaWanyaTeens Let's write that email!
-
I'm in Noisebridge right now if you wanna come hang out and watch me write emails.
-
@Minkette good thing you had a warm-up week...
-
@tef oh damn, lost track of time. shall I hurry your way, or have I missed it?
-
@jennatar Aw man, that sucks.
-
@radiatoryang @compositeredfox @Draknek @LeehSl @benthorizon I should come meet you guys. I am at Noisebridge now.
-
@radiatoryang @compositeredfox @Draknek @LeehSl @benthorizon But my phone is out of credit, so I will be unable to tweet when I leave.
-
@zoewi @MITGameLab Oh goddamn! I have been thinking a lot about this recently.
-
@radiatoryang @compositeredfox @Draknek @LeehSl @benthorizon In fact: I will go make my phone work again, then try to find you.
-
@LeehSl @Draknek @radiatoryang @compositeredfox @benthorizon I have phoneternet again - come meet you at the hostel? Maybe eat a burrito?

I don't know whether "spaces everyone can feel welcome" is inherently impossible, but it's a clearly a good direction to travel in.

@brandonnn @SpencerWeisser @HelloCakebread @LOOOST_LEVELS I checked with @Draknek, he missed it. But you're reminding me about my bajillions

-
@jennatar I have just checked twitter. I am currently at the cheesecake factory. I don't really know what's happening.
-
@jennatar do you want to come for cheesecake? We have only just sat down.
-
@jennatar it is the one on the top floor of a Macy's.
-
@jennatar I have never been in a Cheesecake Factory before.
-
@xra send me a build!
-
I have an iOS device. Game suggestions on a postcard please!
-
@ammonite well yes, but I've clearly already got Super Hexagon on here. :P
-
@RWHBray I must confess I never had the patience for it last time I played.
-
@garethbriggs iPad mini, and thanks, Spaceteam was on my "I will get this when I have the technology"list. And then I forgot.
-
@crazysmartphone iPad Mini. And really: anything good, or interesting.
-
ALSO I CAN USE VINE NOW
-
@garethbriggs @AOsher I heard that Spacechem's iOS interface was even more intricate to use than the PC version?
-
@garethbriggs @AOsher and I think I got finished with the PC version anyway...
-
Oh, TNNS's controls are /clever! cc @number108
-
@mareodomo @brandonnn did I do that?
-
@plichta @edclef @NicklasNygren @JulieHeyde @doougle @C418 I would like to lodge an expression of interest in this plan.
-
@compositeredfox I sent you a reply!
-
@compositeredfox it's a disappointing reply. :(
-
@compositeredfox so I just ate a bagel, and am still in Oakland. I can come meet you for a particular time, or?
-
@compositeredfox No! Shan't!
-
@radiatoryang Making them even more explicitly a niche, surely?
-
@radiatoryang @Beetlenaut They do say there's a couple-of-days adaption effect?
-
@number108 Impressions given after going "Oh! That's what they're doing!", subject to change.
-
"tedious “art installation” bullshit from friends of the organisers.", makes me angry, if only because I'm also friends with some of them.
-
But on the other hand: Look! Tenya Wanya Teens on RPS! rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/02/the-2013-gdc-experimental-gameplay-workshop/ I feel all legitimised.
-
@nachimir @KommanderKlobb @tigershungry @Dick_Hogg oh nice, I might venture that-wards soon, leave the comforting embrace of Oakland.

-
@radiatoryang @vectorpoem I think VR is inherently holodeck technology. Which doesn't mean it can't be used other ways.
-
@imaginary_lines Hello! Could I possibly crash with you at the end of the month? (ie some of 23rd-28th) I am going to AMAZE festival.
-
@mcclure111 Okay. I think I have a sufficient backlog by this point (ie about 2 screens worth)
-
@smestorp It's okay, but I'm looking for something with more of a story....
-
@smestorp Ha, I was being facetious. But actually I had forgotten Corrypt was iOS until @mcclure111 just suggested it.
-
@Devin__Raposo @smestorp @mikeBithell Year Walk and The Room are both queued up for the flight home.
-
@smestorp @mcclure111 What I though was a harmless micropayment process... has suddenly become a test of friendship!
-
@KommanderKlobb And Eric Zimmerman's stuff.
-
@smestorp @Devin__Raposo @mikeBithell I played 'em both on @nachimir's iPad on the way over; liked 'em.
-
Vine is pretty great.
-
I really like the abbreviation "p" for "pretty". ie: Vine is p great.
-
@jennatar drinking and eating at the Syacamore in Mission tonight, if you wanna join
-
@mink_ette @GreenflyStudios @KommanderKlobb to be fair, "a sold-out party in SF that happened last week" is a stupid distribution channel.

@compositeredfox wait, wait, lemme do another vine of it first

@compositeredfox it can be the launch trailer

Am I good at Vine yet?
-
Today's iOS game-buying spree cost ... £25. That's not very much, thinking about it.
-
@C418 Yes, drunken Berlin times need to happen.
-
I only learnt about this today: github.com/MattRix/Futile code-centric 2D open Unity framework, aimed at AS3 devs.

@JamminGames not even looked properly at it. But let me know if you find it useful
-
RT @compositeredfox: NEW GAME IS NEW - THIRTY TWENTY ONE IS OUT byfernando.com/3021/
-
@jasperbyrne yep! Leaving tomorrow afternoon. About to head to The Sycamore for drinking, if you're about.
-
@jasperbyrne yeah, for sure! Come by, come by!
-
@jennatar we will be continuing to drink after (I have just arrived)
-
Anyone else still about SF: Sycamore in the Mission the rest of the night.
-
@jasperbyrne we will clearly still be here.
-
@willgoldstone bar on mission, around .. 18th?
-
@willgoldstone on the corner of Sycamore and Mission, anyway.
-
@willgoldstone imagine I'm doing a Basil Brush impression right now.
-
@jennatar googles "Last BART to Oakland"
-
@jennatar Jenn. If I can crash somewhere I can come drinking, can I crash somewhere?
-
@jennatar when I finish this drink i will come
-
@jennatar THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A REAL PLACE BUT OKAY
-
@severalbees hello! I am at a bar! Apparently jetlag is going to hate me tomorrow/the day after?
-
Flight is not when I thought
-
I might even still make it
-
I think I've made it
-
Nope, I missed it.
-
(I got as far as the gate. But my bag didn't make it through in time.)
-
$182 to change flights to one I haven't just missed. Who else was flying out on the 7pm United flight? @tef @jasperbyrne
-
@patrickashe I was sitting next to @KommanderKlobb during. I think he liked it too.
-
Should I go back to the city and eat a burrito? That's the main question I have right now.
-
@KommanderKlobb @smestorp I'm getting conflicting advice here, guys.
-
@KommanderKlobb @smestorp I was nearly on Air Canada! Free booze! Helpful, friendly staff!
-
@jennatar did you find it? I didn't make the flight, but only just.
-
@mink_ette On the one from work I was borrowing. But apparently you have to give these things back if you quit?
-
I just watched @davidoreilly's Adventure Time episode.
-
I think I now need to study it.
-
@rclarke shooting things is such a gimmick
-
There's so much of this I want to quote. So I'll let you play it instead aliendovecote.com/uploads/twine/atlantean.html
-
Glad to see it's still snowing.
-
(I have just arrived at Heathrow)
-
@webbedspace well, actually the source .oggs are in the Data folder, so quite easily.
-
@KommanderKlobb I sat at a desk and fucked around on the internet. I got a little sleep on the flight. Sorry, both these stories are boring.
-
@PerfectPlum @hidingseeking for real, "in bed" would be great
-
@ammonite @patrickashe @PerfectPlum @hidingseeking I really enjoy that you switched accounts for that tweet.
-
@patrickashe you'd get all dusty
-
@Gillespionage if you learn to code, you could make the testing tool yourself...

@Gillespionage yeah, it's got a good rep. Best advice I can give is to start with something simple that you want to make, then try making it

So glad to be friends with such smart amazing people and basically only talk about stupid fun shit with them.
-
"So, you've been at GDC all week? Guess you've not had a chance to play the new Bioshock then"
-
I then explained that I probably would never get round to playing Bioshock Infinite, GDC or not.
-
@tha_rami I've argued before that "You owe it to your game to market it". But I've never come up with a good defence for it. Any ideas?
-
If experimental games are trying to reach beyond the gamer crowd, should they still be trying to court the gamer press/audience?
-
I mean, pragmatically, yes. Because they have money and will give it to you. But: it's hopefully transitional?
-
Unless your aim with your experimental games is DESTROY VIDEOGAMES, which is also valid.
-
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I'm sad there's no 2 million+ readers blogs about games of tag.
-
@tha_rami @S0phieH @LpSamuelm There were the QR-code-butt-women, though I think that got stopped by the organizers eventually?
-
@usefulslug Oh man. I know what I want you to make with this stuff now. What's yr email, I wanna send you one.

@nachimir @S0phieH @tha_rami @LpSamuelm That is a good response (that I dimly remembered). Thanks for linking it.

@daphaknee @esdin I missed Porpentine's talk because he was telling me how great Train was. <3

@droqen @number108 @Vlambeer @helvetica @aeiowu one thing Tim doesn't mention is how generous the game is- I earn cash faster than I explore
-
@droqen @number108 @Vlambeer @helvetica @aeiowu (ie, it takes less time to earn a new gun than to appreciate the new one you just bought)
-
@psychicteeth so good!
-
@number108 @droqen @Vlambeer @helvetica @aeiowu yus - & some stuff about the shop always giving you multiple options.
-
@number108 @Vlambeer @helvetica @aeiowu One gripe: always-better items should be un-equippable - I first played it on someone else's device.
-
I wish i could get some highlighting for Unity shader files somewhere other than MonoDevelop. VS2012 or SublimeText?
-
@nickludlam Nah: I'm pretty happy with VS in general, it's just Unity's (to be fair, weird) .shader files there's no support for.
-
@iandioch @robinlacey already using the UnicornForest syntax highlighting: no support for .shader files.
-
@BanditoJuan @agencyofconey I did not know you were a Coney-affiliated person!
-
Oh ffs, the code I copied used an en dash instead of a minus sign (from here: ruby-pdf.rubyforge.org/color-tools/doc/classes/Color/RGB.html#method-M000055). What a waste of time.
-
A Panoramical-like game where you adjust shaders in real time, and the screen is almost always bright pink, because the shader doesn't work.
-
@jonbro Unity sadly shields me from such pleasures. I do really mean that sadly, too.
-
@smestorp yeah: the "mainstream" media is often more easily accessed via the "gamer" media.
-
@smestorp (vividly demonstrated by Kotaku doing the NYT's games coverage for them)
-
@smestorp Well, yes. One solution is to stop making games, and start making digital artworks - there's a different set of media there.
-
@smestorp No, I don't agree either. But mainstream stuff I think almost has to come first from a niche.
-
@smestorp So I mean, I guess the solution is to proactively grow the niche that we like, send tendrils to touch the mainstream.

@droqen I am generally against it. But Ridiculous Fishing does it really well (as per @number108's review actionbutton.net/?p=2982)

The case for considering the Maelstrom level of Ridiculous Fishing as a roguelikelike.

-
@raiganburns @ColinNorthway @jimrossignol & that you often have an interesting idea, and then a few years later get to see if it's any good.
-
@droqen I think I mainly dislike them when they're used to pad the game out beyond the point that it's naturally interesting.
-
@nihilocrat @droqen @benthorizon I cultivate the feeling of sucking at games but still enjoying them very purposefully.

@mcclure111 If it created people, then a continued stare would create flickering statue-people superpositions.

@droqen @mcclure111 Is the Medusa-fication instantaneous, or does it travel through the body? Travelling layers of flesh and rock.

Oh, but this comment: "Two weeks ago, this might have been true, at least for mainstream gaming[..] But now, we have Bioshock Infinite."
-
@mooonmagic @jwaaaap @droqen Unlocking weirder, harder-to-use stuff is really smart, too (bit of that with the guns).
-
@jonbro @jwaaaap @mooonmagic @droqen Yeah, that was great! Made the progress to unlocking levels bumpy, though.
-
@steveklabnik Did you see the backstory to that? gawker.com/5991978/top-40-hottest-women-in-tech-was-supposed-to-focus-on-their-beautiful-insides
-
@steveklabnik (apologies for the Gawker link, but it does collate the stuff I woulda linked separately)
-
@whatisian @radiatoryang Yeah, turns out it's the F2P crowd that really mattered.
-
@whatisian @radiatoryang But seriously: there's a lot of parallel scenes in games. Maybe there should be even more.
-
@mcclure111 @Twitter first you break it, then you can remove it.
-
@kierongillen typo at "is the actual the actual Booker/Elizabeth/Comstock story"

Wait, shit, it's 10pm? I was going to go to a party! @LewieP, I'm heading now.

My friend @StevieB64 is looking for work. He is the kind of person who sits there quietly and churns out loads of amazing 3D models & anims.

@patrickashe I don't think they're all that. But I've been yelled at for that opinion before.
-
The way that every fucking application in iOS has to have it's own embedded web browser is stupid.
-
And the fact that you have to manually copy and paste the link to not open it in Safari, also really stupid.
-
And that you can't listen to songs on YouTube and do another thing, also stupid.
-
Actually the thing I really miss is Android's back button, which interleaves state from arbitrary apps. Steal it, please, Apple.
-
@tigershungry nono, to _not_ open in Safari, but another browser. Although to send you that tumblr post, I had to find it again, in-browser.
-
Tiny game for 2 RSA fobs: One player picks a digit, can change at any time. Other player says when. Highest number wins. Swap role on a draw
-
That game might be rubbish -- I don't actually have any RSA keyfob things to test with. But I have always wanted to make a game for them.
-
@smestorp @webbedspace You could set alerts, but you probably don't want to be told every time the words "Game Title" are uttered.

@vectorpoem really enjoying your Doom article. But as @radiatoryang has pointed out, Minecraft matches it for a mod community.

@tigershungry @KommanderKlobb I am really excited for this boat, you guys.

@auntiepixelante @m_kopas I really admire your sense of place and space, but have never pushed past the games you've made that are hard.
-
@auntiepixelante @m_kopas so, in the smallest, pettiest, way, this is great news.
-
Small pedantic note on raphkoster.com/2013/04/09/a-letter-to-leigh/ : there are moral ways to play Train. It's deliberately broken, to give you space to do that.
-
Broken in a @doougle kind of way. And his kind of work I think unites @raphkoster and the people who might be mad at that article.
-
@patrickashe I will confess; I read that as Thirty Flights of Loathing cc @pippinbarr
-
RT @Poxican: Tiny wee trailer for my dumb game: youtu.be/Aekv1Wdm3XU #icefishingv
-
@raphkoster sure, but the reveal doesn't have to be the end of the game. There's at least one reason to keep playing.
-
@raphkoster (and that's ignoring situations like when I played, knowing the secret and keeping it so others could play)
-
I don't really care if Twine games are games or not.
-
What matters more is that, for example, I played Aegis Wing and could feel the love one person had for another.
-
Videogames are only a subset of the things that look like videogames that I care about.
-
@severalbees whaaaaaa-- how evil!
-
@severalbees @nachimir it's like the Olympics all over again
-
Been prevented from being on the internet by Circumstances, so I've been missing a lot of the fun that no doubt followed Raph Koster's post.
-
That said, I wanna repost something @patrickashe posted: hannahnicklin.com/2012/04/what-we-mean-when-we-talk-about-interaction/ by @hannahnicklin. Types of interaction that theatre can do.

@DGoodayle if you click the script in editor, you can set the default variables *for the script*. They should carry through on Add Component

Is there a computer science thing for "I want to make a thing that's kind of like another thing, but I have no idea how it'll be different"
-
@garethbriggs @terrycavanagh have you played that blindfolded slow motion wooden spoon game that I can't remember the name of?
-
@garethbriggs "Listelanse", Google knows. Though all the search results were @doougle, who is in the room with me.
-
@DenverCoulson Was exactly what I did! Computer science success!

-
@fridgehead I am very aware! I guess you're getting it prepped in time for EMW? So it should actually be done when we're there?
-
@BanditoJuan Yeah, details TBA. I forgot you were in London for your secret rabbit stuff!
-
@BanditoJuan I don't think so? Maybe we should? There's a Twitter account @WildRumpus which is the first place to get updated.
-
@jon_ellis I love the way GAs let you solve things without understanding them. It's like magic.
-
@jon_ellis and you don't end up wondering how trigonometry works 4 hours later.
-
@m_kopas If you ever played The Logical Journey Of the Zoombinis, you should click Zamboni-IGF. It's short, and it's amazing.
-
Okay. Maths is beyond me, so: I want to get a tangental line to a 3D line at a random angle & random point along it, of a random length.How?
-
@tigershungry I dreamt someone sent us an unexpected and unjustified invoice, and we had to argue that they weren't going to get any money.
-
@psychicteeth How do I find a suitable (not biased along axes) random point to go to?
-
@psychicteeth I tried the second, and it was giving me lines that were far huger than I wanted, and I couldn't see any way to control that.
-
@psychicteeth @dgrey0 (should've followed with "and ideally some control over all three "random"s would be good")
-
@HilariousCow @psychicteeth I think you'd still get (less) bias. But then I remembered Random.insideUnitSphere
-
Is there a good course on maths for people who want to make videogames that do things in 3D space?
-
@psychicteeth @HilariousCow @dgrey0 (Flaky internet, can't tell if prev tweet went through) Thanks guys! Plane seems to have cracked it!
-
Solution to earlier problem was : gist.github.com/v21/5377854 -- thanks @dgrey0 @psychicteeth & @HilariousCow

@TomNullpointer that just increases the number of things I can replace at random til it ends up working!

@john_brindle "outside of academia, certain sections of Steam, highbrow publications or conferences like GDC"
-
@john_brindle that's enough space to make a living, enough space to have friends, enough space to lead a worthwhile life.
-
@john_brindle (actually, I think that non-game games are often more appealing to non-game people than game games)
-
@mtrc @john_brindle me toooooo. I wanna make...hm... "Twine for animators"
-
Was it really only January we last had this arguement? Time flies... nottheinternet.com/blog/isproteusagamereallywhocares/
-
@metasynthie @tiedtiger @helvetica Here's some examples, from last time this argument happened nottheinternet.com/blog/isproteusagamereallywhocares/
-
@metasynthie what do you mean?
-
@metasynthie @helvetica ahhh... Then I'd point at the lack of similar outrage at flight sims also on Steam, for instance. But good point.
-
on my List is a game where you are in a pub, and every time you turn a corner there is more pub. Infinite pubspace.
-
I'm not sure if that's enough to be interesting, but I want to make it. Reminded by @mcclure111 talking about endless corridors.
-
"VJ LeBlanc"
-
@Arndreth Maybe that's the game?
-
@jennatar Okay! Let's actually buy that stuff
-
@mink_ette This morning I asked the room the question "How purposeful is a lizard?"
-
@mink_ette No-one else had an opinion, but I reckon they're pretty purposeful. They don't double back too much.
-
@mcclure111 Also on my list is a MMO recreation of the Library of Babel.
-
@YourInternetDad @mcclure111 Kickstarter launches next week.
-
@mcclure111 I thought about it on an off for ages, and I reckon it's okay if the server generates all the books and just sends them down.
-
@mcclure111 Server side storage might balloon pretty quickly? But text is small, so it oughtta be okay.
-
@mcclure111 But lots of random generation functions are sparse, right?
-
Just remembered my dissertation involved watching crickets run around.
-
AN ASPECT OF MY EDUCATION THAT WAS UNEXPECTEDLY RELEVANT TO THE WORK-TASKS I TACKLED TODAY
-
@JamesMackerness Got my Cognitive Science MA right here, buddy.
-
@mink_ette putting animals into Mutazione, so getting to design randomized paths for them to follow.
-
I keep listening to the KRZ soundtrack, just because the moment when "You've got to walk" comes on is so great.
-
@patrickashe I think I got it when I downloaded it from Humble?
-
@mcclure111 can I send you an email about this?
-
@brianmtaylor in the "demo"/unfinished build, especially! They came by in a minecart, just as you'd headed into the mines(and then it ended)
-
@mink_ette I do really enjoy the kinds of odd questions game-making makes you ask, though.
-
@mcclure111 I will! One question first, though: what's your email address?
-
A restaurant where they pipe in over loudspeakers the sounds of other people eating.
-
@haikus_by_KN ... something completely different?
-
@ColinNorthway no, that just gets you into their Facebook "Messages" Inbox.
-
@Carachan1 Do you really want to wear earrings designed by people who designing gaming headsets?
-
@BanditoJuan @iamRav hey, this is great!
-
@HilariousCow oh, that looks ALIVE!
-
@patrickashe @MetzoPaino That feels way more problematic to do in public than in private. Curation often seems that way.
-
Chrome has apparently now redesigned the right click menu to look like Gmail.
-
@Pisscress boring small talk is there to find out interesting things to actually talk about with a stranger
-
@john_brindle you schedule clipping your toenails?
-
This import is taking long enough it makes you wonder if it's actually happening.
-
... it's still taking 50% CPU... the UI hasn't refreshed or anything... the Windows progress bar UI hasn't updated in ages...
-
@HilariousCow "T/F"?
-
@compositeredfox go get a beer, and see if that makes your mind up
-
I've given up on the import.
-
@reallyfancy @BrightonIndies That's fantastic news. Maybe I'll come down and visit!
-
@reallyfancy @BrightonIndies Having spent a whole bunch of time thinking about indie communities and so on, hit me up if you want opinions.

Import has got to, I think, the same point I killed it a few tries ago. Unity is opaque on what it is doing. I like this part of the job!

PS it feels super weird using a site with lots of promininent "if this breaks, tell @aaronsw" messages on it. But the site is super useful.

@droqen Hey, that's convenient! While checking my spam, I found an invitation to dinner! (also your email)

@droqen @davidsgallant no, you can manually import a list, I'm pretty sure.
-
@increpare something something, rats associating illness with food eaten across long intervals, despite being dumb (rats are pretty dumb)
-
@davidsgallant @droqen Yeah, I can feel that. I only mentioned because it's the standard solution. SES on AWS is a programmery alternative.
-
@edclef @increpare Interesting! I wonder how generalized the learning about painkillers is.
-

@daphaknee @smestorp GODDAMN this is a good idea, do it soon so I can steal the idea and not be a dick.
-
@patrickashe @Darren_D_Daley @DGoodayle @LawrieARussell but a culture of free games is a wonderful thing.
-
@patrickashe @Darren_D_Daley @DGoodayle @LawrieARussell if it was sane to release all my work for free, open-source, I would.
-
There's no essential dignity in work.
-
@daphaknee but you'll do it louder, and that's what counts, right?
-
@LawrieARussell @DGoodayle @patrickashe @Darren_D_Daley I've known a few creators who've been supported by anonymous patrons.

@tigershungry well you can probably survive all but the first. Maybe the first, even, given it's the EU?
-
I forgot what the difference between a notgame and a antigame is
-
@jonbro Me too! And Barabariball, too.
-
Games made in AGS? (I am tired)
-
@jonbro christ, I guess it was
-
Games that were drawn with a very fine camelhair brush? Games belonging to the emperor? Games included in the present categorization?
-
oh god, I discovered another page of genres in my notebook. luckily at least one is fictional ("KoDPlikes")

Although KoDPlikes would be great, please make them (turn-based management games interspersed with narrative choices)

@smestorp (if you don't have my number, it's +447962403825)
-
@terrycavanagh @smestorp @edclef @dkanaga The answer would totally have been yes if I hadn't just got back from eating dinner. :<
-
@terrycavanagh @smestorp @edclef @dkanaga I'm flying back on a 6:10 flight: lunch would be good, but dinner is impossible :<
-
@AdriaandeJongh oh! I'm so glad!
-
@Draknek possibly it's just being a dick. Right click, Reimport, see if that fixes it. Restarting Unity will fix it permanently.
-
@Draknek if I knew the answers to that, I would be a ... probably not much happier man, to be honest.
-
One of the loveliest days. <3 you all.
-
@terrycavanagh we went there last night. I am very glad we did.
-
@daphaknee @xMattieBrice but then, "Broughlike" is a genre now.
-
@terrycavanagh ooooh! I prefer the sloppiness of Lucky Chip. But I can respect your position here.
-
@ anyone else @terrycavanagh @iamcarneiro @jwaaaap @kittycalis @smestorp brunch or lunch plans? Terry was saying burgermeister?
-
@smestorp @terrycavanagh @iamcarneiro @jwaaaap @kittycalis @edclef @dkanaga earlier lunch if possible? I reckon I need to leave at 2:30.
-
@smestorp @terrycavanagh @iamcarneiro @jwaaaap @kittycalis @dkanaga I'm in bed in Neukolln, @edclef is off to the woods,
-
@terrycavanagh @smestorp @iamcarneiro @jwaaaap @kittycalis @edclef @dkanaga alright, I'll head in. Where am I going?
-
@terrycavanagh @jwaaaap @smestorp @iamcarneiro @kittycalis @edclef @dkanaga sounds like a plan, Stan.
-
I want more iOS music making things, what am I missing?
-
@Dan_Tsukasa 8bit tone? Couldn't see it...
-
Just arrived in London and my phone has data again. "You have 100 new mentions"
-
@tha_rami I mean, I had one mention since I last checked twitter. But my phone doesn't know that.
-
@TomNullpointer I forgot about nanoloop! I used to use it on my phone. Thanks for reminding me!
-
@NicklasNygren @dikte I really like trying to make GlitchMachine produce things. And recommended today: nanoloop and Orphion.
-
@NicklasNygren @dikte That's fine by me - I'm not sure I'm capable of making music for any purpose but to enjoy myself.
-
@q0rt @radiatoryang I don't, and don't. I guess I'm slowly learning...
-
@mareodomo you could get a pet pig. A mini pig? Though they're more bristly.
-
@doseonetweets he looks like generic FPS dude on the Oblivion posters.
-
@whatisian that's an even better version of @hidingseeking's game: mobile.twitter.com/hidingseeking/status/316932482756923392 @hidingseeking/316932952997117952
-
@tef do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do-do duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh
-
@tef the secret is to miss the blocks
-
@tef you'll stop feeling that way when your surprise at hearing the word "excellent" kills you. for the 5th time.
-
@tef for real, one really cool thing that happens when you get good is that time dilates. watch out for it, it totally gets slower.
-
[allowing myself a moment of grouchy old man-ness] RE greenheartgames.com/2013/04/29/what-happens-when-pirates-play-a-game-development-simulator-and-then-go-bankrupt-because-of-piracy/ : how many sales did they convert from pirates vs @Sosowski?
-
The trick is to make people want to give you money, and to make it easy for them to do that.
-
"full combat ecology"
-
@tef @maniacyak I'd estimate it's about a ... 20-30 hour game. Or 6 seconds, of course.
-
@nachimir @tef There's some Blackberry device @terrycavanagh recently ported SupHex to. It has a square screen. Can you imagine?
-
@edclef all credit goes to @HilariousCow
-
Teletext editor fab-online.com/eng/teletext/basic/ettwin.htm
-
I should stop reading about teletext now v21.tumblr.com/post/49169475337/several-levels-are-defined-for-teletext-in
-
@edclef Yeah, I feel in two minds about it. It's a powerful memorial, but my mind did just start thinking of games designed for it.
-
@patrickashe I mean, it's a good burger.
-
@terrycavanagh @Carachan1 @PhillCameron @mode7games @SpiltMilkStudio @jasperbyrne Patty & Bun looks great! Burger crawl ahoy!
-
@iamcarneiro @jwaaaap @dkanaga @kittycalis Fold! Good name. Did it take you long to come up with it?
-
@iotwatch is the Companies House website still closed outside off office hours?
-
@tef I read that. Relatedly, I read the Mail's piece on delaying compressor timings in fridges to reduce peak demand (was front page news)
-
blog.radiator.debacle.us/2013/04/lets-play-first-section-of-anomalous.html this dissection by @radiatoryang of the design of very first bit of HL is mind-expanding.
-
@BernieDeKoven We played this last week! It's really great! I really like the way it retains strategy and the ability to be a dick to people
-
@brandonnn that source code!
-
@BernieDeKoven oh man, just saw the amazing video in your post. Wow!
-
@edclef @doougle @tigershungry guys, guys, look at the second video in this post majorfun.com/2013/04/29/hamsterrolle/
-
@joonturbo Oh, shit, so sorry! Completely slipped my mind. But on the plus side, you got a better game out of it.
-
I make it a point not to be ashamed of things that aren't, y'know, some degree of evil. It's in this spirit that I send the next tweet.
-
I seem to be spending the evening making Manic Pixie Dream Girls in Toca Boca Hair Salon 2.
-
Oh, wow, I missed this: "a new curated showcase of online indie games presented by Venus Patrol and QWOP creator Bennett Foddy"
-
@metasynthie On the Sissyfight Kickstarter page kickstarter.com/projects/1805029723/sissyfight-2000-returns (Bennett has been talking about it for ages, but now: actual plans!)
-
@S0phieH There's loads of cues to depth perception: a lot work on photos, some require eyes, and a couple need two eyes.
-
@tigershungry @Minkette @nachimir @Bodminzer the one where the kid ate a fish and his penis turned into a propeller
-
@mcclure111 @radiatoryang @aliendovecote what what what what what I only just heard of this projects existence. What. Yes.
-
@mcclure111 is there some cross-domain shit that fucks up games using a shared, generic server? (not ideal, obv, but...)
-
don't wanna make videogames. wanna play videogames!
-
(which is pretty weird for me, I guess)
-
I met a friend inside a Twine game. He was dead, but he was @Draknek vote.runhello.com:4334/twine/shades.html
-
@KommanderKlobb Yeah, I'm on! Also: yes.
-
@doougle does it work if you give a string arg, rather than a KeyCode arg?
-
@doougle Not hit a cross-platform build issue yet, so unlikely. This looks like it might be your problem: answers.unity3d.com/questions/19114/keycodes-for-non-us-keyboard-layouts.html
-
@doougle Event.current stuff is a bit awkward to use, but also a bit more powerful.
-
@rclarke It'd be great! I actually fully support the massive engineering effort required to build the second set of tunnels that'd be needed
-
RT @john_brindle: Does the undoubted existence of Content Degradation imply the ontological primacy of whatever CD leaves us with? http://t…
-
@john_brindle I hope not. I don't want to live in a world where grognard concerns are really actually the most important thing.
-
@Choplogik after a few minutes you don't even see it
-
@Choplogik why you gotta be so uptight, man?
-
RT @twinethreads: Second, a working prototype of Twine 2. Build, playtest, and publish from a browser (read: not IE, not yet). https://t.co…
-
@mcclure111 @radiatoryang that's the knotty thing about the New Aesthetic- it's fetishizing the visualizations we build to understand robots
-
@mcclure111 @radiatoryang It's never "how a robot sees". But it is the material, the workings out of a now black-boxed algorithm.
-
@mcclure111 @radiatoryang The neat thing is the aliased boxes, the primary colours -- those are the grain of the material of, say, Matlab.
-
@mcclure111 @radiatoryang ooops, I guess I have Opinions about the New Aesthetic.
-
@smestorp @mcclure111 @radiatoryang I mean, I agree, but what can I do, stuck here in this post-post-modern world?
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang the render time for the extra camera is probably about as bad as the time to do the recognition...
-
@mcclure111 @AmyDentata @radiatoryang Definitely not entirely, but you could probably run some of the earlier stages, like edge detection.
-
@mcclure111 @AmyDentata @radiatoryang Depending on how pure you want to be, there's optimizations: rendering a depth buffer would help a lot
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang Oooh, that's interesting. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the stuff you can do with CUDA.
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang I'm skeptical it's not pragmatically better to fake a lot of this stuff...
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang but it's definitely really interesting territory, especially, hm, "aesthetically"? "thematically"?
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang it's funny, I guess I'm saying. Like Robo-QWOP (gutefabrik.com/blog/?p=1110)
-
@AmyDentata @mcclure111 @radiatoryang I'm as excited by the possiblity of creative types of deception.
