Anybody using Solarus? Do you recommend it? Is there any way to install it on Linux without snaps (fedora)?

Hi, I've spent the last few months working on a rogue-like bullet hell game for a school project. It uses a 0G movement system that's kind of similar to _Asteroids_, which I think makes for a surprisingly unique experience. It's finally getting to a state that feels like a real game, so this would be a great time for some playtesting! If anyone out there is interested, or just wants to play a free game, feel free to give it a try. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

[Blog] Valve just took away a valuable visibility tool Blog post by Chris Zukowski (How to Market A Game) [https://howtomarketagame.com/2024/08/21/valve-just-took-away-a-valuable-visibility-tool/](https://howtomarketagame.com/2024/08/21/valve-just-took-away-a-valuable-visibility-tool/) [@gamedev](https://programming.dev/c/gamedev) [\#GameDev](https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev) [#GameMarketing](https://mastodon.social/tags/GameMarketing) [#Steam](https://mastodon.social/tags/Steam)
Last year for reference  And the year before that 
I guess the question is straightforward. I'm creating a simple 2D game with a few animation and 30 or 60 fps are more than enough. I'd like to cap the fps to reduce power consumption on my laptop when testing my own game. I can manage that from the nvidia control panel, but I can do that from ingame code? I can see many games provide a fps cap option. How do they achieve that? Sleeping/calling Sdl_delay doesn't seem a great option and neither is active waiting while checking for passed time. Is there an hardware mechanism I can block to?

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.

How To Market A Game: What Steam’s big demo update means for your marketing strategy New blog post by HTMAG on what to do after the steam demo changes: [https://howtomarketagame.com/2024/07/31/what-steams-big-demo-update-means-for-your-marketing-strategy/](https://howtomarketagame.com/2024/07/31/what-steams-big-demo-update-means-for-your-marketing-strategy/) [@gamedev](https://programming.dev/c/gamedev) [\#GameDev](https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev) [#IndieDev](https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieDev) [#GameMarketing](https://mastodon.social/tags/GameMarketing) [#GamesMarketing](https://mastodon.social/tags/GamesMarketing) [#Steam](https://mastodon.social/tags/Steam)
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?

[itch.io link](https://itch.io/jam/rumsey-at-shepherd) 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.
