Solace State's a game that I'm making with a team of friends and very talented folks! At first it was just me working on it as a portfolio piece, and over time I put in my savings and later learned how to raise funds for it! Lots of stories to tell about how to gain confidence as a game project scales up! As the game nears launch, how does it run on the new Steam Deck? Very good so far! Since we are simultaneously releasing on Xbox and PC, our Lead Programmer Gabi Kim Passos has painstakingly set up controller support, and some of that translates to the Steam Deck well. This week, Developer @seamus-ly is working on recommended resolutions. The Steam Deck has a resolution of 16:10, but our game with diegetic text in placed into the 3D world has complete level design for over 150,000+ words that are fitted for 16:9. This is a new challenge, so I'm seeing what sort of changes might need addressing!
Meanwhile, I'm still sorting out where to connect with others and I've been trying Mastodon, which is super nice because they loathe ads and corporate attitudes of Twitter with a resounding ferocity.
I am also doing bookkeeping, upgrading libraries, coordinating programming, art, music, and Achievement assets, and building different versions of the game for testing. Before our weekly team meeting next week, I wanna do some in-game narrative writing too! That's on the lower end of the amount of chaos that I get up to in a week haha.
Feel free to ask me any questions about game development! Have a delightful weekend!

So..... a weirdo right-winger tried claiming that game engines are woke.
Godot made a post joking about this by saying, "Apparently game engines are woke now? Well then, we won't complain. Show us your #Wokot games in the replies."
And people are... mad at that? So mad, in fact, that if you search "Godot" on YouTube, the caliber of videos you get would have you thinking they pulled something worse than Unity's runtime fee.
And then because people were pissy about it, the official account started blocking people (heaven forbid a company not associate itself with right-wind sympathizers and bigots). And now people are mad about that??
I'm so lost.
Like, whiny little alt-right trolls got what they deserved, and for some reason the FOSS community is freaking out and attacking Godot?

I'm delighted that I was interviewed by Bradly from Mobile Syrup about my gamedev journey. The award-winning choice-driven cyberpunk visual novel started as a small creation of an experimental, atmospheric game about the Asian experience of alienation amid hypercapitalistic growth in a biotech revolution. Through fundraising and learning on the fly, it turned into a full-blown game with 31 fully illustrated, diverse characters on these cyberpunk and hopepunk themes! I also talk about some of the challenges we've faced with our small team in scoping up our production!
What are some game dev challenges that you've taken on, or other stories of development that inspire you?

Pride TTRPG Bundle Sale: Help a Queer Person Thrive! Buy nearly $70 of games for $25!
I am a disabled, trans, and queer game designer looking to live again to afford medication, sustained housing, therapy/psychiatry, and some money to save for emergencies.

In this bundle, you can obtain:
GRIM, a retro FPS styled TTRPG inspired by Quake.
Neon Nights, a cyberpunk TTRPG with nearly infinite build variety, and it's two MASSIVE expansions!
Wrath of the Undersea, a TTRPG where you play as vengeful Eldritch peoples trying to reclaim the colonized surface.
Disk Master's expansions, where you can live out your Pokemon or Digimon dream on pen and paper!
There are also some stretch goals attached to the sale as well!
$500: This pays for debts and a month of groceries.
Will hold a Trans Rage Game Jam in July!

Still can't find a working link for Goncharov (1973), but...
Creating Goncharov is live on Itch.io!
Everyone knows Goncharov. Martin Scorsese's 1973 film is a cult classic, a true masterpiece of cinema. To celebrate its upcoming 50th anniversary, you, an office drone working at a major media corporation, have to create a pitch for a 2023 remake. It's an amazing opportunity that could launch your career. There's just one problem.
You haven't seen Goncharov.
Unable to turn down your corporate overlords, you and an indecisive colleague throw together a story based solely on information you can quickly find or invent.
How will you reimagine the greatest mafia movie ever made and what will you do to turn your ideas into reality?
Creating Goncharov is a surreal interactive fiction game created for Autumn Chen's Goncharov game jam. This game was written and coded by Albie. For more games by Albie, click here.
Play it here!
CW: Unreality and brief descriptions of smoking, violence, and death
Featuring the song "Main Theme from Goncharov" by @caramiaaddio. Original poster by @beelzeebub. Game screenshots below the cut.
Check out the other games made for the game jam here.
Goncharov is a fake film. Read more on it here.

I love being queer because it gives me the most useless ability with my gaydar like
Fictional video game character, not queer on first glance: You don't get it; I'm a freak!
Me: I know what you are
#queer#lgbt#lgbtq#lgbt meme#i was playing a new game i have never heard much of ANYTHING about#and i was talking with this guy who wasn't being overtly coded to be queer. like i bet the devs thought they were being SO slick though#i honestly love the tendency these creators have by trying their BEST to make their queer characters like...#... unrecognizably queer. but that's because i think it's funny that i still Know#i'm not such a fan about the fact that so *many* of the reveals only happen because of internalized queerphobia though#like i totally get it on an emotional level! i often HEAVILY empathize with it and I don't think it's like... unrealistic#but it's also not a crutch
