Hi all,

I've been working on a side-project after needing something to handle UIs for a game I work on, and came up with InputLayers, which is basically a layer-based filtering system for Input handling.

My main issue was having a clean and consistent way to handle taking input availability away from something (a character, UI, or anything else) when something should take over (a menu opening, a popup, etc.)

So I ended up using this as an opportunity to learn the new Unity UI system, and set up a clean editor window. In the end, it was close enough to a packageable asset, that I felt it'd be cool to make it available to others!

It's free, so if anyone wants to give it a try, I'd love some feedback =)

How does it look? What do you think? It was bad i think before, because many people complained about that. So, i worked hard to make a new one.

Hello everyone here on the Fediverse

I'm making a free and open source platform fighter featuring FOSS mascots (like Tux, Nolok, Konqi, Wilber and others). I'm doing it on my free time, but it's something I'd really like to get it done. It's been brewing in my head since May/June, and that's really when I got the basics done using SDL2 (I will use SDL3 when it gets officially released). Right now I'm working alone while also having a job in the meantime, and that's basically to get contributions from you that I wanted to post it here. Right now, I got the 2D rendering engine done using OpenGL 2.1, and I'm looking to add OpenGL 3.3 support as well.

For those interested, the repo is already on Github at this link.

And if you don't think you can help me with the development, feel free to also talk about it around you and tell me what you'd like for this game. I will be happy to see your suggestions (and contribution if you can ^^).

Best regards and hoping to see you here

I am currently working on a video game project, It's 3D, and in a particular feature where players can listen to the radio. I want to pull data from Odysee (LBRY) and a specific channel that I want to play in-game.

If I can't pull data from the network, Is there another way for me to access either music or video content without breaking a ToS.

I'm working with python if that helps.I am also new, or semi new to Python.

For context, I am using the bevy engine.

I know that you aren't supposed to store stuff that might contain a lot of information, such as dialogue, NPCs and skills.

I already found a library that helps me store dialogue (bevy_yarnspinner), but I've yet to find such a library for other ressources.

So I was wondering, usually in RPGs, where and how are stats, skills, NPCs (including enemies) and maps are stored? And how does leveling up work?

Hello, I have elected to pop my hosting in event, cherry in the most scuffed way possible. There is money about it.

Right but yet the theme is cute and dark. So cartoonishly cute and dark in theme. Cute with the dark aesthetics only has been done and you know it’s been done well so that’s that’s what’s up. Normal game jam rules. Contributors can vote. We are kind of you know doing this as a form of play. And I think that that’s perfectly fine. So yeah, if you agree and you want to put something in, come on by. It’s going to be open the whole time, and I might even do like Our weekly streaming kind of thing for an hour on Saturdays. I did it today and do you know that was OK.

Made a soulslike for The Dusty Old Game Jam! Been working on this for a little over 6 months. Posted a few times here. Im pretty happy with the state of the game. Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed making it https://storeboughtrocketgames.itch.io/essence-of-grimm
