i would love if minecraft had seasons

spring:

  • higher chance of baby animals spawning
  • blossom texture on leaves
  • wheat and melons grow faster
  • flowers spread

summer:

  • cactuses and sugarcane grow faster
  • higher chance of thunderstorms
  • no snowing in any biome
  • more turtles and dolphins at beaches
  • skeletons are more likely to spawn

autumn:

  • pumpkin, beetroot, and potatoes give extra yield
  • fallen leaves sit on the ground (like snow)

winter:

  • snow can fall in non-snowy biomes
  • all crops grow slower
  • darker, so hostile mobs more likely to spawn

Nomitkon, Tajikistan — I’d never seen a bread eating cat before.  But this cat loved bread. He would practically sit down at the table and wait to be served.  The owners would throw him a few pieces and then throw him out of the house, but he would soon sneak back in and continue looking longingly at the loaves.

granny-core:

A thing I really like about the cottagecore/farmcore/grandmacore community, is the way simple things are romanticized. It’s a break from a culture centered around consuming, and inspires slow living and appreciation for your natural surroundings and simple joys.

To find meaning and happines in tending to your tomatoes, making jam from your grandmother’s recipe, or taking a nap in the sun is such a beautiful thing to me. There is such a feeling of luxury to be able to share a homemade cake with the people you care about, or to be able to give away some of your carrots to your neighbour, it really makes a little feel like a lot!

Quick Depression Pro Tip: not terribly hygienic but still. keep a thing of dental floss on your bedside table 

(and a dry toothbrush if you’re feeling ambitious. and toothpaste if you want to challenge the gods)

Quick Depression Pro Tip 2: put on socks. your home probably isn’t super duper clean. socks will at least help you feel clean.

A Continuation: this also goes for changing into fresh pajamas! especially useful when your sheets aren’t clean/there are crumbs in the bed.

Quick Depression Pro Tip 3: wipe your face w/ a wet washcloth. or towel. wipes. whatever. just something to make your skin feel a little cleaner.

if you don’t brush your teeth often, scrape your tongue on the cloth when you’re done, to get rid of buildup. 

Quick Depression Pro Tip 4: Granola bars. Granola bars. Everywhere.

Granola bars spilling from your backpack. Granola bars bursting from your drawers. Granola bars dripping from your faucets. Granola bars haunting your nightmares. There is nothing but granola.

It’s so odd when a stranger understands exactly what you do and what you’re feeling. It makes me feel less disgusting and alone. Thank you.

we’ve all been depressed and grody at one point or another. forget love, hate, lust, anger, this is the one true unifying human experience

update: i am out of granola bars

my favorite /FAVORITE/ thing abt pokemon blogs is that some people just get specifically attached to one pokemon and rave about them in their tags and like even though ive never been particularly impressed by that pokemon i love seeing other people so passionate about them like okay i see it now yes yes onix is now my rock son as well

reblog this and tag the one pokemon you are specifically attached to

Stealing the caption spotlight for a second to mention that my favourite Pokemon is Bulbasaur, and my favourite Pokemon was Bulbasaur before I ever even started playing Pokemon, because when I was really small my mum took me shopping at the supermarket and while she was at the checkouts I wandered around at the front of the store next to the trolleys and - there was a lenticular Pokemon trading card on the ground! And it was Bulbasaur to Ivysaur! And I just thought it was the coolest thing ever so I took it home with me and spent hours just poring over every inch of it, turning it this way and that, reading all of the words and looking at all of the art. I must have been at least less than 8, and I was 23 when I played my first Pokemon game (Omega Ruby). And I’ve loved Bulbasaur all of those years.

lets make a videogame how hard can it be

nevermind you have to know shit about computers

hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!! 

for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)

if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn

you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!

this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!

I’m addin’ to this post because lowering the barrier to entry for making games is super important to me!!!! If y’all have any questions about making games, you’re welcome to come and ask! I made this list a while back with some friends, so it has some of the programs John already mentioned.

2D Editors:

GameMaker : Potential for pure drag-and-drop “programming”. It is recommended to read-up on the program’s functions to make good use of it. Good for prototyping. Uses its own language called Game Maker Language (GML) that is similar to a C language (e.g. C++ or C#). For both Mac and PC; free version available.

Construct2 : Drag and drop level editor that uses an “If-Then” event sheet structure for programming. Good for prototyping and for beginners. For PC; free version available.

GameSalad : Drag and drop with no code requirement. Good for programming. For both Mac and PC; free version available.

Solpeo : HTML5 based game engine for 2D and isometric game development. Some programming knowledge needed. Platforms supported: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9+. Free version available.

Stencyl : Drag and Drop “programming,” templates you can edit the variables/values for.

Scratch : Lego-block-style coding platform by MIT; totally free and a great intro to thinking in code. Very kid-friendly and comes with a community site. Browser version available.

3D Editors:

Unity : 3D editor that creates 3D games. Can build games for browser, as an app, or for mobile devices (iOS and Android). For both Mac and PC; free version available.

UDK (Unreal Development Kit) : Full-fledged, highly advanced editor. Features a complete set of tools that go from level design to visual scripting to cut-scene creation. Uses it’s own programming language called Unreal Script that can be arranged with Kismet, a visual code editor. For Mac and PC; free.

2D Art/Animation Software:

GIMP : Free photo editing and digital painting software.

Easy Paint Tool SAI : Free digital painting software with a UI similar to Photoshop.

Places to Publish/Share:

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource

It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.
