Game Making Toolts @gamemakingtools@gamemaking.social

next week on the pod @packetcat and I want to do a segment cover games and music being made by queer black folks, I’d appreciate it if you are making stuff or know someone who’s making good shit and could send it our way!

Other mastodon protip, keep in mind that you are sending copies of each post to other servers and when you make a private post or delete a post, you are on a technical level just asking another server politely to do what you expect. They might not.

Keep yourself safe and don't post anything that would totally fuck you up if it was publicly leaked.

Thanks 🐘

I'm amazed that realtime, reliable CSG isn't already a mature tool that exists in every game engine. CSG, like unions, are a technology that has been neglected in games 😜 #GameDev #Unity3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqmg4gblreo

Hey fedi, what are some of your favourite accessibility features that you've seen implemented in video games?

thinking about the character size to screen size ratio in platformers. it has some really interesting effects on how much you relate to the character, sense of scale, suspense / missing information, etc.

Is there a website to help find primarily LGBT video games?

Not, like, a tiny bit of maybe bad representation, but instead almost all the characters are LGBT+?

My 8 yo wants to find more LGBT+ games.

Here's a really good Twitter thread about the "Orc discourse" and the real world racism parallels to Orc stereotypes and why white people need to shut the fuck up about how it's a non-issue.
