Duke Nukem 3D mirrors reflection were achieved by duplicating the room on the other side. If you deactivate clipping you can go to the other side. True reflections are computational intensive even today #GameDev


Here's one of my fav, in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds because a true top-down view in 3D would have perspective issues, they purposely tilt the objects, so the perspective looks good to the player from top. #GameDev


In Kirby's Dream Land for GameBoy, to save memory some enemies have the same "back" part of the sprite and only change the face. #GameDev
Kirby Dreamland enemy sprites split into 2 halves, showing that developers reused the back part for enemies just making the front different.


In Super Mario Bros. because of memory limitations clouds and bushes are the same sprite but using a different tint color. #GameDev


In Fallout 3 the Trains are actually a character wearing a train model as a hat. Engine didn't allow for vehicles, so this way they could reuse NPC movement code. #gamedev


This #gamedev trick is from Undertale, to prevent NPCs to walk on pits, Magic glass.

There was a memory exception in Wing Commander on exit, because of the deadline they left it but change the error message to "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" #gamedev


In Super Mario 64 to achieve the infinite stairs effect, Mario gets teleported back. Also the reason why Speedrunners can glitch and skip it using the backwards jump trick. #gamedev


In Jak and Daxter if by any chance the Area/assets ahead aren't fully loaded the game will make you trip to give it more time to fully load. #gamedev


Skyrim small tables are actually shelves buried. If you can't see it ...
(Recreating my list of #gamedev tricks thread)
A table in video game Skyrim.
The table in Skyrim seem from below the ground, it's actually a shelve but buried to look like a table.


Godot Engine 4.0 gets a first Release Candidate https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/02/godot-engine-4-first-release-candidate/ #FOSS #GameDev #OpenSource #Godot

Liblast's story has been completely overhauled - here's the draft 2. If you're into Sci-Fi, you might get a kick out of this one.

https://codeberg.org/Liblast/Liblast/wiki/Story-&-Lore-%5BSPOLIERS%5D

My goal for writing this story was to justify having two teams of identical-looking humanoid robots wielding identical-looking weapons blasting each other to bits on a variety or crazy locations.

It's cheap to make and robots help keep it family friendly 😀

I think this draft should do!

#Liblast in-game chat now properly handles team-specific messages and gets newly joining players up to speed on the chat history! This was planned way back but only now it has become a reality :)

The UI layout seems to break a bit with different aspect ratios though :P

I’m sorry I know this is linking to the bird site, but this is really important.
If you are an artist on DeviantArt then get your stuff off there and opt out of this now. RJ Palmer walks you through how to opt out of all this AI shite.

Message reads: “DeviantArt has decided your artwork there is fair game to be used in their new AI generator by default. You have to go to an obscure form to opt-out and requires 10 days to be reviewed.”


One of the quick pieces from last year. I make those in-between freelance projects because I need to make personal stuff to refresh. And when there's not enough time, a small scale is the way to go.

✨ Hey #gamedev folks! ✨

I'm Anngelica Renea. I'm currently a Senior #Lighting Artist at Naughty Dog.

You can find my artstation here: https://www.artstation.com/anngelicarenea


as far as i undferstood it (not a professionaö´l) it basically was just "i opt myself into #gamedev" and get to read all posts with thta hashtag or something on the home timeline, and others get to write my #gamedev posts

except its in a fancy separate container that doesnt directly involve hashtags

basically twitter hashtags but more complex/harder to use

someone might murder me for this take



Hey everyone, I’m Hamza, an indie game developer. I'm #newhere and looking to make new #friends. Add me up if you got good #memes to share, are interested in #games or #art, or wanna have #deep #philosophical #conversations.

The following is a screenshot from my first #mobile #game Stardust. Don't wanna sound like an ad but check it out and leave a review on the play store if you like it, to help the algorithm. Just trying to break some ice here.

Two aspects of my ADHD brain when designing a game:

1. I really should get back to writing the actual dialogue and develop the plot.

2. Holy shit, I'm writing an entire fakeOS with window management and task switching!
