@Rocket @PurpCat I've checked both Firefox-based and Chromium-based browsers, they all still let you open local documents.

@PurpCat I mean you could start off by learning to program batch files or shell scripts, but those are limited to text-only games. I started off programming by learning to make batch file games.

Most Linux distros have compilers and interpreters for every language known to man preinstalled so if you grew up with Linux, you are all set.

Or you can simply just write HTML5 games in JavaScript using your favorite text editor. But that assumes that kids realize that all they need is Notepad (or whatever text-editor they have) and their preferred Internet browser. But most kids these days can't even tell how a filesystem even works.

It seems like the only way you can end up as a successful game developer is if you grew up with your own computer and your parents gave you unlimited computer privileges.

Trying to replace the BS Zelda male avatar sprite with something that I own (well a modified version of a public domain sprite).

I'm not a good pixel artist when it comes to humanoid characters. I tried to get help on OGA's forums, but activity is too low on that place and I don't know anywhere else that I can get help. This probably won't be the final sprite, but I'm running out of options, and I want to get this game done so I can move on.

I don't like the time change, but daylights saving time is the superior time

I like it being 7PM and there's still light outside, it's especially godly in the summer when that stretches up to 9PM

Oh, #ChronoTrigger is trending because it came out 30 years ago.

I remember playing it on an SNES emulator long after its release (and long after I've gotten rid of my actual SNES). I have great memories of the game but I haven't played enough JRPGs to compare it to others. Never played any #FinalFantasy games for example.

But I guess I made a good pick with Chrono Trigger. It seems to be regarded as one of the best games of its kind.

@WALFTEAM Not just that, but also attacked by every single TV station.

By this I mean, if you're an old person who only uses AOL/Yahoo, and your only exposure to CL is the bad PR of "the craigslist killer" on slop true crime shows or some "I-Team" or "Problem Solver" team talking about some retard falling for shit on Craigslist.

These are the same people who keep car dealers in business because everyone selling a used car is a scammer.

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.

If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement
