The bot works on an opt in system, mods have to approve it for communities otherwise id be violating the lemmy.world bot guidelines

any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens

I have never heard Kenney referred to as Asset Jesus lol

For people who want to know who the title is referring to for who got their game copied its KenneyNL

Admin here, there should be nothing censored atm apart from a couple scam links

Not sure why that says removed but its not on our end (and its like that everywhere). Lemmy probably has some handling where it also censors if the posters instance says so

Ive been working on some game tools to let me make various games quicker without needing to do the same things in every game i make

Above you can see two of them ^ Ive got an achievement system implemented as well as a toolbar that lets you trigger things easily for testing purposes (e.g. giving the player a weapon, spawning an enemy, etc.)

Theres a data persisting system that will persist data in different scopes (e.g. room, level, run, game, permanent) that everything else uses. For example the achievement system looks at a certain category and a trigger (which is a key that the data in the persister is set under) so that whenever data is added to that trigger it sees if its higher than the amount needing to unlock the achievement (and if so unlocks it). The persister is decoupled from everything else by sending signals and then everything that wants to look at what data is set can (this would be the achievements, the unlock system, the dialogue system to see which dialogue is unlocked, etc.)

Main tools I have made:

• palette swapping (allows for swapping the palette of the game so that things like each zone can have different colors)
• unlocks (what weapons, enemies, etc. are unlocked)
• toolbar (debug helping)
• persister (persists data through a scope)
• logger (logs information (separate so other components can show the logs e.g. the toolbar or a terminal)
• leaderboard (keeps track of scores of players)
• data (reads txt files from a data folder for usage in the rest of the game for separation of data and behaviours. e.g. you can define enemies each in their own txt file and have a generic enemy object that has its properties set based on the enemy it is. Makes it so you can easily add new stuff

I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack

Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)

Theres been a bunch of activity and people joining in in the dev matrix already

Backend pretty much already has parity and the frontend is currently the main thing that an updated demo is waiting on but should be ready really soon

I’ve been designing an updated home page recently for it that I’ll be pushing out this week that looks miles better than lemmy-ui since I could do everything from scratch and thus quickly

Java spring for backend, Go for federation, Next.js for frontend

demo.sublinks.org has the backend with the lemmy-ui frontend to show api compatibility

Task list and progress is public on the github org https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1

Matrix space where all the devs talk is also public and you can see progress talked about in them

In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

Alright. Yeah I assume it would mostly be indie game soundtracks which tend to not exist outside of games

Will get that set up in our events community once I’m off work

Are vocals required and does it have to be from the past year? edit: read the info post and saw that yeah past year and yes to vocals due to language requirement

Would programming.dev be able to participate or is it mostly oriented around countries/country instances

E.g. entering with songs from games (which usually span multiple countries for the production of them and aren’t represented in these types of comps)

Yeah pretty well documented. Was very easy to spin this up

This is the class that you spawn in to make a window: Docs

Each window is technically its own world and them I enable or disable the player on each one depending on if it hits a collider to move to the next room. It is possible to have them all looking at the same world though

Been working on a game for the brackeys jam. Playing around with how windows work in godot

Looks like a camelCase variable to me so its likely just a temporary word they replace with the actual bot name but something went wrong and it didn’t replace it properly leading to the temporary text showing instead

There could be some other reasons but the actual cause cant really be determined without looking at the source code

that exists in instances such as lemmit.online

the issue with having that in the main communities is communication will be one way if you try to reply to that. Theres bots such as the l4s bot that is in the middle of the two that ocasionally cross-posts link posts that are popular though. Thats still controversial but can be easily blocked

Hey, admin of programming.dev here

Heres a nice selection of communities from various of the topic instances including ours that might be nice for most people

• !science@mander.xyz - mander is the science and nature instance with this being one of their main communities
• !programming@programming.dev - main community for the programming.dev instance which is the instance for programming
• !gaming@lemmy.zip - main community for the lemmy.zip instance which has most of the game communities so far in lemmy
• !software_gore@programming.dev - community that just got started up in programming.dev where you can post any software malfunctions you come across
• !android@lemdro.id - main community in lemdro which is focused primarily around android

edit, heres some more:

• !chat@literature.cafe - literature instance
• !anime@ani.social - anime instance
• https://fanaticus.social - sports instance (doesnt really have a main community)
• https://lemmy.studio/ - music instance (doesnt really have a main community)

For your edit, this is a collector community for gamedev news so its valid in both. Feel free to crosspost it over if you want

People in the instance have more varying viewpoints since its oriented towards a niche/content category (+ same is true for other niche instances). People interacting in the instance can be managed but its difficult for people interacting outside to be moderated to make sure theyre actually following our rules since admins dont get reports of people in their instance being reported, only the instances of where they interact in do.

Politics communities (aka communities that only talk about politics rather than something like a hobby (and lgbtq+ isnt politics)) are now hidden by default on the instance though hence why you probably havent noticed the two are federated still since people dont stumble in and need to explicitly choose to see the content (leading to less people arguing on different politics communities since they just sub to the one they want and then sees that one as normal)

I’m fine with AI being used as long as its mentioned in the game page somewhere (since it technically counts as an external asset). Theres no real way to police it if it were to be banned and helps people get to the game making
