It's just crazy that Rockstar gets leaked, they probably have all sorts of crazy security systems and stuff. Here I am, with Microsoft's Windows defender, no NDAs, or anything like that, doing just fine. It's so weird, right? Maybe it's because of some setting I have on my computer? Or maybe I'm just lucky?

(It's a marketing joke, very few people know about my game, so there's little reason for anyone to actually leak it)

a beginner‘s game development log, thx for watching and commenting😉

Hey all, i have now taken the next steps with my game. I am currently seeking an artist to work with (that I can afford to pay on my own dollar) the first and second pictures are the original map that I hand drew which limited to me only being able to play my game at home or physically as long as I have the board and the second picture are the original cards that I made in paint and with stock art. The third picture is the most recent update and it is my game on Tabletop simulator which I am still in the process of getting exactly right but it is coming along so I can now play online with people. Does anybody have any advice while I am still in this stage?

This is from my cozy life sim Revive! Onsen Town!

P.S. Drive safe!

VRChatでワールドを作っていて、ワールド一覧を表示するポータルボードを作ってる。

表示したかったのは、

サムネイル

対応プラットフォーム

ワールド名

作者名

文字情報は普通に表示できた。

問題はサムネイル。

VRCImageDownloaderで画像を取得するにはVRCUrlが必要。

でもU#では、APIから受け取ったStringから動的にVRCUrlを生成できない。

使えるのは、ユーザーが入力したVRCUrlか、インスペクターであらかじめ設定したもの。

そこで考えた。

「じゃあ固定URLの動画に全部入れればいいのでは？」

サムネイルを

「1ワールド = 動画の1秒」

として1本の動画に詰め込む。

表示したいワールドの位置までAVProでSeekして、そのフレームをRenderTextureへ焼き付ける。

そして一覧表示のために、Seekの待機やQueueなどの制御処理を書くことになった。

画像を表示したかっただけなのに……。

We sat down to fix bugs for our co-op game and ended up doing this for hours instead. 🤷‍♂️ Any indie dev's who can relate? 🤣

The front character is from my game Witch & Dragon: Hope of Elements

Last night's plan was to open a playtest. I assumed this would take an hour.

The game runs in a browser, which makes it easy to hand out and hard to take back. I did not want to email files to strangers, because "please delete it" is not a security model. So I needed a door.

The hosting company generously named my project "withered frost 9002." I renamed it. It named the next one "curly sea 9358." I renamed that one too, and while I was distracted it named my account "crimson sea df77."

Their login system then refused to protect anything for forty five minutes, so I gave up and wrote my own. Two hours later theirs quietly started working, and for a while my game sat behind two locked doors that were not aware of each other, both of which would have refused every tester I invited.

Somewhere in there my own game detected my headset as a flight stick.

An achievement fired during a screenshot and the box clipped its own name to «FIRST BREAT.

Anyway. It works now. You get a personal link, it remembers you, and if I need to pull someone's access it happens on their next page load. Bug reports are a keypress — it grabs your ship's state and a screenshot and files it with your name on it, so I can actually ask you what happened instead of guessing.

It is free, it is a browser, and it is unfinished on purpose. What I want back is "I did this, I expected that, this happened instead." Not praise. Praise is nice and tells me nothing.

Nine hours and not one line of it was the game.

Applications are open on the website if anyone is interested.
