@mekkaokereke Large touch displays had the 'gorilla arm problem', eye fatigue (at the moment at least) feels like a related problem. Note there was no 'simple fix' for gorilla arm, you couldn't fight physics and biology. In my career as a UX designer, it's always the *perceived* little things that ended up not being little at all. This happens so often I have a phrase for it, "Triumph of the mundane". It works both positively and negatively.

Microsoft is working on an accessibility feature for Windows 11 described as a "voice avatar" called "Speak for Me." You type, the computer speaks, and it's your voice.

new Patreon posts up! Last month, I explained how the heck to make a custom Unreal navlink to make enemies precisely jump over gaps, or climb ladders, or any of that kind of thing: https://www.patreon.com/posts/making-unreal-95328696

It requires a TINY bit of .cpp, but I promise it's easy and also you can just copy-paste mine. Once you do that nasty part, the rest is Blueprint/in-editor. #UnrealEngine #IndieDev #GameDev

You ever write a long post and after you've finished you delete it because you suddenly realize that you just don't give a fuck as much as you thought you did?

Excellent cake execution, no notes, ship it

So I snagged Immortals Fenyx Rising, that last gen Ubisoft game where they took the AC engine and made a Zelda BOTW kinda thing?

IT'S GREAT

It hits different, now that every other game also aped BOTW. It feels (is) way less blatant. It adds a ton! There's a bunch of really novel mechanics in here, combat design is good too.

The demo turns out to have been terrible. Hated it. But the narration in the actual game is way more spread out, and thus actually fun? I just. Huh. It's actually great.

Finished!

visionOS' Persona feature looks even worse in today’s demo video than it did at WWDC 💀 I think I'll just do audio calls…

First tabletop role-playing session with the 6-year-old done. What a blast!

Going for a kind of Ghibli vibe which so far seems to work well.

Why not start the year with this beautiful this scene from #VGHS 🥹
I've always felt it *perfectly* captures that wonderful feeling as a #GameDev, when someone plays and connects with something you've created. ❤️
What will *you* make..? 🧑‍💻
