Samperson's Treehouse @sampersonsworld - Tumblr Blog

I'm trying to make the best-sounding game trailer of all time. Think I got pretty close:

#desktop pet #gamedev #toys #sound design #professionalism

Making this was a colossal mistake. My productivity is going to plummet. I'm like Oppenheimer

Making the corpse dance

Ten years ago, Dong Nguyen killed a chart-topping game. After realizing it had become "an addiction" for players, his guilt became so bad that he couldn't sleep. Today, Gametech Holdings, LLC has revived this game but with *more* dark patterns, loot boxes, and predatory design. This is cool.

"But why would Nguyen sell the Flappy Bird Trademark??" "Hope he got his bag!"

Looks like he *didn't*. It seems like it's been long enough that the trademark was considered abandoned, so Gametech Holdings LLC filed against him, and just. Grabbed it for free.

You can see all the court docs here: https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pnam The funniest (and saddest) part is... we're so much worse than Flappy Bird now. It seems *tame* by comparison.

In a better world, the story would have ended with this tweet.

i didnt know what to do for the mac version's trailer so i just walked into an apple store and put it on all their computers

#i edited this while staying awake over 24 hours in a discord call and you can absolutely tell #gamedev

Many have asked, "How did you make the cat paw mouse cursor?"

Here's my entire process:

#speedrun #gamedev #custom cursors #wienerschitzel #jail #coding #programming

Fuck it. I made a cat paw mouse cursor.

#gamedev #art #custom cursors #creative inspiration #cat #kingdom of heaven #its cool that gay cats is a tag i can put on this thing

discord as a filehost will no longer be possible by the end of the year

if you haven't noticed, copying a link for a file now appends special parameters to the end. these are a request signature, which indicates a specific request for that file. this request will expires after a few hours, so files will no longer be permanently available through a specific url.

while they are not currently necessary to view the file, they will be by the end of the year, assuming nothing changes.

please check that any websites you rely on are not hosting files through cdn.discordapp.com, and if they are, please archive those files through the IA using web.archive.org/save

thank you for your time

I once rolled out emergency patches for millions of people by sending the game files to myself in Discord, and telling everyone's launcher that my copy-pasted link was an official game server. So this is basically the worst news I've ever heard

i have plans for this platform that i cannot reveal because the haters (my work obligations) will try to sabotage me (leave little time for other projects this week)

#i have unprecedentedly unhinged ideas
