#introduction hi gamemaking.social I'm selfsame and this is my game dev aspect. I've made a lot of art games and have a lot of strange dev gifs I might share from time to time.
I also make tools and have a big interest in procedural generation.
Oh! I'm also a huge fan of Blender and always happy to answer questions.
a mobile game where you herd sheep in the alps
a game where you have to scream "McDonald's" at televisions
kind of miss when I was younger and all my game dev ideas were horribly ambitious like "it's like civilization but first person perspective, and multiplayer,.. and real time"

o, what a pitiful shame that we are stuck with Javascript as the lingua franca of the web, all of its many dangerous warts and pitfalls an indelible stain on the platform
now to take a big sip of coffee as I ponder the timeless beauty of the Unix way, with its elegant lingua franca, shell scripts
Putting out a 1.0 release of ArcadiaGodot which gets Clojure into the Godot game engine. Boosts good!

tired of being a C list game dev putting out slightly entertaining jam games every once in a while
my lisp game jam entry is up at https://selfsame.itch.io/orbomancy
it's also the first Godot game written in clojure which was a ton of fun
(tapping forehead meme) you won't have garbage collection framerate issues if you never clear your object references
Noita is really very good

Thinking about this game again.
aaand Arcadia style hook functions https://github.com/arcadia-unity/ArcadiaGodot#hooks
Figured out how to use Godot's signals in clojure, feels good to be doing systems work again

finally getting around to writing some basic interop for ArcadiaGodot

hilarious how easy it is to add gamepad support to a website compared to say Unity
nothing flashy to show off with openroll but I'm calculating all the hull volumes and using that to limit pick ups and grow the ball shell realistically
