I’m doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it’s for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that’s made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition.

Besides Butano, I’m just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there’s not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it’s actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.

Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I’m making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

I’m making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there’s not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

He’s a wife beater

I live in one of these. They’re amazing, and totally changed my mind on apartments. I just wish I had an extra room and a lower floor. I can get a garage for $100/m which is not bad at all.

Anything cheap is going to be bad. We need to raise the standards to a minimum. The unfortunate thing I need to move to a house to be closer to my new job, otherwise an apartment like this would be fine.

They can take my Atomic Purple GBC from my cold dead hands. Make America Trans-Rainbow Again.

Schools sign the contracts themselves for license deals. The program either doesn’t collect the same data, or doesn’t collect anything other than analytics.

They do this in Enterprise too. All of our enterprise software is a special version made for distribution. No EULA is involved.

No you’re actually right, I didn’t go to college… Because it was expensive, not because of the advice lol

No clue why they thought it was a good idea. Maybe it was a scare/reverse-psychology tactic to get us to study something specific.

I was told to be a garbage man. Who the fuck made these tests? My guidance counselor for years told me not to go to college.

I’m a software engineer now, and while I believe garbage men deserve better pay and benefits and recognition as essential skilled workers, who the fuck tells that to a kid? That they should give up on college and work a labor job for their entire life?

The only consequence so far is a nearly 4k drop on FP subscribers. Roughly $20k/m loss.

That’s not saying much because they still have 40k subscribers.

I always upvote Noodle. This specific video led me to leave my workplace abuse as a dev, and just about just about everyone else I worked with left as well once they saw people leaving. We’re all much happier for it. I wish we had a union, because I loved those people and wanted to work with them forever, but we all had to move on.

Anything last gen or older. Retro doesn’t mean ancient. I have everything from the Atari 2600 to the Wii U in my retro collection.

Same, and I was active on hobby forums where I answered questions. I feel bad for the people who responded to me year(s) later thanking me, but reddit doesn’t need the SEO boost

Yeah, Mac is a competent *NIX BSD system. The problem is the price and lack of control. Anyone who thinks Mac isn’t on the Linux side 50% of the time hasn’t used it.

Work only gives me the option between Mac and Windows, and I’ll pick the *NIX 100% of the time.

They’re definitely swapped

I miss it too, but they did a great job of being classic Zelda into an open world. The only way they can truly top TotK is by heavy story and more dungeons, but I’m just glad to have Gleeoks and other classic enemies, dungeon monsters, and side stories.

Maybe classic Zelda spinoffs will be linear stories like Twilight Princess.
