Game developer and gaming enthusiast.
Working with code since ~1986 ... uff

Currently working on Slyceverse: Survivors.

Recently I felt trapped by Big Tech and Big Corporations and now I am getting rid of it wherever I can. Using Open Source and shopping locally as my go to solutions for that - feeling better since I have started that journey.

#askfedi #pixelart #gamedev Is there a tool where I can load all my 2D spritesheets into and see them animated and search them?

With the growing collection of assets it becomes more complicated to find the right sprites for my project.

Anyone knows a good program to organise them?

I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.

Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation

🇪🇺EU #ChatControl is NOT defeated yet! In an open letter top scientists warn the new proposal still poses "high risks" with flawed 'voluntary' AI mass scanning & invasive age checks. Italy & Poland have reservations, too: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-control-proposal-still-poses-high-risks-despite-removal-of-mandatory-scanning-experts-warn/
capitalism is so efficient it can now manufacture a dozen unnecessary economic collapses per lifetime

It felt like I was missing something when using the 2-in-1 in tablet mode.

Bought this little programmable keypad. Once programmed it works on linux, macos and windows.

Now I can copy, paste, pan, zoom, ctrl, shift and alt while using #pixelorama or #aseprite . Works great and makes the experience so much better.

Framasoft are one of the sadly very few non-bullshit orgs (they’re like us, Small Technology Foundation, not Mozilla) working for a better future for technology and society.

They’re raising funds at the moment.

Please support them if you can.

Thank you!

This is my new favorite #design #fail.

As a solo indie dev, I can tell you: reviews mean the world. They boost visibility, morale and sometimes even motivation.

So if you loved a game: say it loud, say it with a (Steam) review.

And once in a while I cleanup the external libraries with #Czkawka

This is an amazing software for #deduplication of image folders.

The #immich #ios client is not making backups consistently - at least on my phone. I remember having similar problems with the android version as well.

What works like a charm is #PhotoSync you can buy a lifetime license which allows automation. Like syncing when coming home or charging. And it can handle pretty much any storage target like samba shares.

For backup simplicity reasons I decided to only use Immich with external libraries - perfect combination.
