Got a nice dog and retro gaming hobby with a little C++ gamedev mixed in. Working on a 90's retro style WWII flight sim. That’s what you’ll see here. http://rabbitengineering.com

Keep at it - I tried this last year, it gave me a huge boost, but man it was hard going by day 20 🤣

Well, one of the Azure services I work on implements this for CoDBlOps. Does that make me a AAA dev now?

Me too - I found a couple planes I like and I can't help myself doing 40 minutes or so a day. The scenery is just amazing

Sequel for a helix - drive your bike until you crash, then fly in your helicopter to take your mangled rider to the hospital!

Flight testing today. Amazing how so many bugs still remain after years of tweaking the same code! #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #flightsim

Thank you! My dog’s name is Lulu so your comic hit a lot of notes for me 😉

Seattle is the spot to be if you're an #avgeek. Took these two shots in the same week (Museum of Flight and Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum)

Four-panel Dani & Lulu comic.

Panel 1 (split diagonally):
Lulu, wearing vintage flight gear, sits in a WWII Spitfire cockpit. The narration reads:
“Lulu, the World War II ace, spots German bombers over the English Channel.”
A yellow speech bubble from Lulu says, “Tally-ho! Bandits eight o’clock—angels one five.”
The lower half of the panel shows her targeting crosshairs over a formation of Ju 88s. Caption:
“Setting her sights on a Ju 88, she squeezes off a blistering 300 rounds…”

Panel 2 (split horizontally):
Top: A Me 109 fighter dives from the sky and rakes bullets across Lulu’s plane. Red sound effects read:
Takka-Takka-Takka-Takka.
Narration: “The moment she fires, a Me 109 drops out of the sun and rakes her Spitfire.”
Bottom: Close-up of Lulu’s face in the cockpit, wide-eyed and startled as smoke trails behind the aircraft.

Panel 3 (full width):
Lulu’s plane is spiraling down over the ocean, black smoke pouring from the engine. She's visible in the cockpit, stepping out. The narration reads:
“Smoke billowing from the engine, control surfaces shredded, she attempts to bail out—
but she’s paralyzed with fear as the Channel rushes up to meet her.”

Panel 4 (full color):
Back in reality, Lulu (in human form) stands frozen at the top of a tall red water slide, looking terrified. A kid behind her shouts, “Hey kid! You’re holding up the line!”

NEW COMIC!
Holding Pattern

Lulu really does love the water. It’s the heights that concern her.

As usual Lulu would love a like, comment, and share if you can spare it. Fan art is always welcome too!

Added a dark color pointer to be less jarring, and also the tooltip now tells you what the hotkey/input is for that switch #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #retrogaming

This looks so unique and yet taps into all the right nostalgia notes. Great work, really.
