@mikerose.bsky.social podcast question: What is the type of game you would love to be your magnum opus? Or is this already there?

Bench is full. Motherboards from 486 to PIII.
No plan. Just jumpers, beeps and random retro hardware testing.

ISA, PCI, AGP, Voodoo, Matrox and boards that only POST out of spite.

Battle 3 in TIE Fighter tonight.

The campaign is underway. The Emperor is watching.

No resets. No savestates. Just the next mission as it was meant to be flown.

Well I figured out why my 486 wasn't detecting my IDE drives. Apparently this board defaults to off on the IDE controller. Call me an IDE-iot. Watch it on youtube.com/@tormbo #486 #retropc #pcbuilding #tormbosbench

Oh ok, there is an Super Text Input Field in the STM prefabs folder, so I figured that was a WIP.

I'll see what I can do with that

Hey Kai! I noticed you are working on the input field. Do you have an ETA or can you suggest a workaround? I noticed I can't just drag the STM into the inputfield params

Did a little more pixelarting, really happy with the results. Can you guess their purpose or the vibe I was trying to catch with them?

It's been a little quiet concerning #stilldelivering, I know. I have been having trouble finding the motivation. But I have not given up. Work and updates will continue soon(tm) #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Yeah, but cant you adjust the emission speed based on the current velocity of the ship? It's been ages since I did anything with gm

Are you using unity? You could try upping the emission speed based on your ships speed?

Thanks. I will experiment some with the events. See my posts for what I'm using it for, if you're interested.

I think that was what I was trying to achieve. I have multiple audio clips on the SuperTextMesh. I call the first at the start and the other half way through. But it just plays them all at random through the entire string.
