"NOES!! Leave me alone!!!1!1". I've always preferred stress tests to unit tests...๐Ÿซฃ(haven't even given them missiles yet...) #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev

Love debug overlays. Need to balance the voxel heights better against Jolt's fixed heightfield triangulation, as we can sometimes disappear inside the terrain.๐ŸคจWhich goes a little beyond desirable jankiness. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday (yeah, it's Sunday, I care not...)

Iโ€™ve tried ebooks, pdfs, mobisโ€ฆ but nothing will ever satisfy me more than picking up a big fat dead tree. Chonky. Substantial. Reassuring. Occasionally inaccurate. #RetroComputing #programminglife

Big shout to the makers of ArchieSDK (on Gitlab), a GCC cross-compiler for early Acorn Archimedes (A3020 here). Very easy porting my Snowscape (Midwinter clone) to it. Can just write C/ASM in VSCode and then cross-compile straight over to the emulator or hardware. Very cool indeed. ๐Ÿ˜Ž #retrogaming

Back to retro for a bit. Got this experimental "PowerMonger" building with GCCSDK rather than Norcroft C, which means cross-compiling in VSCode straight to the Archimedes (A3020 here). Loading level data from the original MSDOS map data file here. #RETROGAMING #archimedes

It's been a surprisingly stressful and unpleasant job pursuading these feckers to stop smacking into mountains but think we're getting close to some ground-hugging predatory danger for our janky tank. #indiegames #gamedev #RETROGAMING

Janky trailer for my 90s-inspired tank game set on a frozen planet. C++, SDL3, Jolt Physics. Coming... err, dunno... possibly never. #IndieGameDev #retrogaming
