@dotage.bsky.socialOk people help me out, what's the golden standard on nested tooltips nowadays? Because I'm going to have so much data-driven nesting that I'll make Paradox cry!
@dotage.bsky.socialI heard that the new hot tech to make games is now "vibe coding"? I don't know about that, but I'll let you on a secret I've been practicing "vibe planning" for 20 years. It consists of waking up, and deciding on a whim what feature to creep on for the day
@dotage.bsky.socialThey are angrily pointing at the steam cards
@dotage.bsky.socialFor my next project I decided to bring back a lost art in videogame making. I am going to make a game.... without cards. NO. CARD. ANYWHERE.
@ubadler.bsky.socialReposted by @dotage.bsky.social#Archrebel is probably the most heartfelt tribute to the classic REBELSTAR and LASER SQUAD games created by Julian Gollop. This demo is a complete short game, and you can easily put 20+ hours into it if you plan to see it all.
@dotage.bsky.socialI heard you like traits So your traits now have meta-traits And the meta-traits now have a meta-meta-trait 🕶️
@dotage.bsky.socialThat's so cool!
@dotage.bsky.socialHappy third birthday, dotAGE!
@dotage.bsky.socialMy current status with design
@dotage.bsky.socialSo, you know all that industry wisdom? Make small games, no feature creep, etc etc. Wise wise. Wise. BORING! I am going full feature creep for next project è_é I'll just call it "my style"
@dotage.bsky.socialBack to work! Not working for a few weeks felt so weird, but now ideas keep flowing, both for dotAGE and for... new stuff I'm playing with ;D
@dotage.bsky.socialdotAGE: Trade Secrets is out NOW on Steam with a new release trailer! - Send Pips to explore the wilderness - Craft boats, build carts, and tame horses - Trade coins and send trade expeditions - Three new elders with unique mechanics!
