@pippinbarr I feel apprehensive/excited/curious.

@HilariousCow I am a game developer, and I hate "gamers".

@HilariousCow alright, being serious: there's a danger of moving further into a niche if you only listen to most vocal demands.
-
@HilariousCow (which isn't to say you shouldn't listen, but you should strain harder to hear less vocal opinions)
-
@HilariousCow though, again: no need to be rude to your fans, cripes.
-
Still haven't figured out how they did scottmcd.net/artanalysis/?p=115 in KRZ. Just carefully set up sliding viewport rects?

@HilariousCow that sounds real sweet. You got any CI on that?

I do not wish for finding out where a pub is to have a sense of occasion about it. A slow buildup of anticipation. A hunt for a config menu.

@haikus_by_KN you should definitely see if you can chat up the Humble guys as a first option (I don't have contacts there, but someone will)

@fastramdesign not even very scary! Just lists of (logically) grouped settings, where you can add a type from the inspector.
-
@fastramdesign like, a list of "FadeInObject" : objectToFade, timeToFadeInFrom, fadeLength, enabled

@fastramdesign maybe I should blog this idiom! It's really useful, just a pain you can't set sane default values.

@radiatoryang it kind of ruins it as a player, so do you want to hear how it's implemented?

@tha_rami @doougle @joonturbo depends on the game, though part of my point is that the boundaries between game and context are fuzzy.

It's difficult : I like awkward, uncomfortable games. But the discomfort varies invisibly with the player's context.
-
So hitting that perfect level of discomfort (where you are just outside you comfort zone, but happy to be testing it) is ... unreliable.

The most important thing, I guess, is the right not to play. Otherwise, it's not a game.

@Gillespionage Any old unpowered hub works fine, unless you're gonna have more than 2 or so vibrating at once.

@Gillespionage Hokra can trip that power limit on an unpowered hub (if all the controllers go through the hub)

E'ry day I'm importing assets in Unity.

Sad I'm not popping by ELCAF tomorrow: elcaf.co.uk/

So excited for when I get enough Internet to download Toca Builder. I've only really loved Hair Salon 2, but I have so much hope for this.
-
@jennatar @smestorp @aliendovecote I reject, as a point of principle, the idea that drunk tweeting is worth less.
-
Toca Builder downloaded. 30 seconds in, and I feel like I could write an essay on how masterful the interaction design is.

This wedding has weird bubbles that don't pop normally.

"Touchable" bubbles?

I can accurately predict Deceptacon from 400 miles away.

@nachimir :/ hope it's calmed down now...
-
@KommanderKlobb is TWT going well?
-
@ElectronDance you were at Rezzed last year, though! You should come to more things.
-
@ElectronDance (not that I'm at Rezzed, either, mind)
-
@tigershungry ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wish I was there!
-
@tigershungry can you buy me a copy of Sunday In The Park With Boys? On Koyama press, I think at Blank Slate? And Giant Days?
-
@ElectronDance oh, yeah. I forget, because they seem like much the same thing?
-
Wish the libraries I was using were open source so that making hem better felt more useful.
-
@tigershungry Ahhh, I can understand that. I should probably suck it up and pay the stupid shipping cost.

I got on a train at half 4. I am still on a train.

@C418 oh, so my friend got married yesterday, and he played your music while we were eating <3

@me_backwards coming home from Edinburgh. Now one tube stop from home...

@bonzrat Oh, also: @ElectronDance's thing on VESPER6 is great electrondance.com/michael-brouges-vesper-6/
-
Tempted to take my Oculus Rift to Roskilde and jam out a game for it there. But that might involve buying a large suitcase.
-
@Carachan1 @RezzedGameShow NOW I'm sad I didn't come.
-
@jennatar all these groups and places leak. Get enough decent attitudes about, maybe it'll diffuse into the entire world.
-
@infovore very glad I saw this tweet when I did. I just managed to get one, also. And now it says sold out.

-
@jennatar oh god. I find that show like taking a wire wool scrubber to shine up my sense of decency.
-
@jennatar I feel I should rewatch it every so often, to remind me what to hate, but it's not a pleasant experience.
-
@jennatar Mind you, it should be noted that I currently live in East London.
-
@jennatar It's an amazing amazing show.
-
@jennatar But in the same way that I argued to a non-games person at a wedding that games shouldn't have to be about "fun"...
-
@jennatar ... I can't watch a man inappropriately rapping while going down on a woman and call it "pleasant", or "enjoyable".
-
@jennatar Yeah, exactly! That's why it's so painful -- you can't even retreat into a comforting revulsion at the terrible people you see.

@KommanderKlobb @VG247 @WildRumpus @brandonnn Also Asuka Sakai (Keita's wife) did the music, and their son did some of the sounds.

@neveahfs @john_brindle @SFBTom Ahhh! Excited to "panel" with you -- but I'll have to skip out on the Skype, as I'm off to ...

@helenlewis @Carachan1 Not that it's not, but it's more remaking Lara to appeal to a gay male audience than doing a Hawkeye.

"Although a thick refrigerator door is good at masking sound (as anyone who has lost a cat inside one knows)" what?

I am unexpectedly (not that unexpectedly) both a juror and an entrant at Indiecade. I guess I should start stressin?

@DrlemonWCGGG Yep, LA Indiecade. (Is there another?)

@Arndreth Tenya Wanya Teens! I am close to the least part of it, but still.

@Carachan1 After @jennatar talked about it last night, I tried to watch it. I got about 15 seconds in, then reflex-paused it in discomfort.

@PerrinAshcroft @S0phieH thus needing you to do ./foo ? I thought that was normal on Linux, too...

@PerrinAshcroft @S0phieH there's a lot of stupid internalized knowledge you need, for sure. A Thousand Years Of Cruft.

All day long I've wanted a nap, but instead I'm going to Westfield Stratford.

This (and the hope that @joonturbo will make an event happen in CPH) is enough to make that whole event worthwhile.

Frustrating experience of searching for flights on Hipmunk, and them being £250+ quid more expensive when I clcik through to book.
-
@martinhollis Hmm... Good shout. Though having searched again, I think I've found a direct flight that only comes in £7 over budget.
-
@siskin I'm booking with the airline, so if that is the case I don't really want to give them my money.
-
@siskin Also, re-searching found out some direct flights that were suddenly £100 cheaper, so I've went with that.
-
@WhisperBat now I want to make something where the letters do rot(mod(time * 2), 26), rot(mod(time * 3),26), rot(mod(time * 5),26)
-
@WhisperBat all flashing different, indecipherable, then you hit the magic position, and -- clear sentence. And then it's gone.
-
@terrycavanagh or in the last ... however long it's been since it came out, for that matter.
-
@WhisperBat or - each letter with a sequential offset - a rare ripple of meaning down the page, just too quick for you. Oh! This is great.
-
Amazing how creative being tired as hell can make you

This personally affects me, so it makes me furious. Also it's a terrible deal for the government. Fuck all of this. newstatesman.com/economics/2013/06/danny-alexander-confirms-student-loan-book-will-be-privatised

@phototropy *searches* those all look cute as hell.

Best time to have BA fail to deliver your luggage is definitely when it contains the tent and sleeping bag you were planning to sleep in.

@jennatar There's an app called Strange Rain. Partly it tells a story, partly it simulates watching rain fall onto a skylight.

@KommanderKlobb Just about to head off for 9 days of camping in a field and also trying to run videogames at the same time.

@KommanderKlobb they never lost it, they just decided not to put it on the plane. I am hopeful I will get a phone call tomorrow.

Since reinstalling and fucking with and generally sorting out my ancient Nexus One, I like this iPad a lot less.
-
On the other hand, this has Vine, Stickets and King of Dragon Pass on it.
-
But fuck me, text entry is awful on this hint. I've had Swype for 2 and now this just feels barbaric.
-
ios7 looks good though. Less fucking green baize, for a start.
-
@jennatar you played Haunt The House?
-
@severalbees prom = smart, leopard print = casual
-
@smestorp @KommanderKlobb @patrickashe but I wanna build the ultimate game! I just got a surround sound hifi, too!
-
I have so many vines to show you (once I get some wifi)
-
Oh, for people interested in the whereabout of my bag -- it should be delivered to the campsite some time before midnight? So that's good.

some context: I'm in a shipping container at Roskilde festival, hearing @bfod and @tigershungry's mechanized sex noises and drinking lager.

@jamesthomson I like how precise this language can be. "Wedged" is probably my favourite.
