Those are good books.

I'm really impressed by how the choices for rounding, pixel art style, lighting choices give this a subtle but distinct aesthetic.

Thanks for the recap, I missed some of those!

This sounds familiar :D

Hell yeah

And yet I've had to turn off all auto-complete suggestions because I can't stop my IDE from using AI data even when I tell it not to, and most of the time it isn't what I want to write because it's a basic implementation and I'm fancy ;)

After layoffs, cancellations, and controversy, ZA/UM UK staff unionise as the Workers' Alliance "We like being here. We want to continue being here. So let's try and get a seat at the table in the big management meetings."

The ZA/UM Workers' Alliance - a new union set up to represent a subset of UK-based employees at the company - discusses how it wants to help staff feel safe and comfortable in their jobs

Living the dream. It's a dream right? Everything is good... right?

I am (mostly) enjoying the differences in editor - but tangentially, how have got on with actually attaching the debugger?... it's been a bit flaky for me, though I am being mad and prototyping a multiplayer game.

This looks great! 2 bit palettes are such fun to work with.

It's funny, I really enjoyed Halo (1)s way of encouraging certain weapons at certain times, felt natural and immersive. Whereas Destiny's, we'll dynamically control the ammo drops from enemies to force you to switch infuriated me.

A Good Read www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

Right, have purged all links to my twitter account from my website. 🦋

The projected kills me!😆

Suddenly I realize why, when toying with fiction writing a wrote a magic system that's all about setting summoning circles and pacts - in a language you had to learn that wasn't quite what it seemed - correctly or there being horrible consequences.
Though the consequences were demons.

It's fun, I have the opposite problem with my Rust engine, works fine on FF, Chrome black screen many errors.

GitHub - acmesh-official/acme.sh: A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol - acmesh-official/acme.sh

Well I managed to get acme.sh working again for my site, so have worked around the problem.

It's still frustrating that browsers vendors (or one in particular) doesn't seem to be concerned about keep backwards compatibility.

And w.r.t. to lets encrypt, yes thanks. I've had my site set up as https previously, and managed to fix it this weekend, but my server side setup isn't entirely standard so the auto-renew never works, and it has a habit of breaking occasionally.

I don't quite understand how "Over http, anyone can intercept your connection and capture your mouse for click farming." would work mechanically, are they intercepting and serving different script files to you to do this?

Even so I don't see how this is a privacy concern.

Thank ye! It helps when you write it directly in web tech!

Unfortunately I came into the jam slightly ill and it's limited the amount of time I could spend on it, so time for some rest first.

I'm always happy to take part in this jam though as it's so relaxed, and that submission remains open after the initial deadline. <3

I may continue to poke at it, see if I can create more than the brief shooting gallery it currently is - or at least make it a more entertaining shooting gallery - before submitting anything to the itch jam.

Whilst I had fun working on it, I'm not currently proud of it, which I'd want to be!

The initial #7DFPS time is up!

I haven't finished what could really be called a 'game' yet, more the bits you need to make a game, I've spent a good portion of the time wrangling my own engine into submission. Oops.

Still what I've got so far is up here: delphic.me.uk/svarm/

Ghosts

Also some level transitions, and multiple weapon types! #7DFPS

That AI when being shot at from afar might need some work...

Seven days in and about ready to actually start building content. 😅

Been slightly distracted by real life, but got a HUD as well as weapon, health and ammo pickups in! #7DFPS

This morning was steering behaviours, and shotguns. Next up some actual obstacle avoidance and flocking, then we can get swarmy. #7DFPS

They were supposed to fearsomely launch themselves at you, but this is adorable. #7DFPS

Not quite what I intended, sort of terrifying though.

I have a placeholder level, and you can click on this critter to delete em. They're obviously evil...
