It happened! Explomancer 0.0.1, the first pre-alpha build, has escaped onto Itch.io for Windows, Linux, and MacOS!

Pre-alpha series will be free until it's good enough to not be free.

Current status: Aboard a TGV, hurtling toward Zurich at 300 kph.

Today's #gamedev timesink: Grass vs Unity.

Using the particle system is pretty neat, but I can't really control where the grass goes. I'm also kind of afraid of figuring out how to do a shader for it.

I'd love to see a graph over time of this week's "mega millions" lottery bets. At what point did it start escalating toward a billion dollars?

Any of you cybre punks, and assorted tooters, going to Twitchcon?

Log Cabin Simulator 2018 is coming along.

One day I'll figure out how to get a decent looking day/night cycle in Unity.

Damnit, Green Day's Insomniac came out 23 years ago. Nimrod is 21.

Oh yeah, Dookie is 24.

I have not been very good at keeping up with mastodon lately.

But I have been enjoying Assassins Creed Odyysseyy a whole lot! Having a long HDMI cable so I can play it on the TV from the couch is helping.

So is FreeNAS still the way to go for a home NAS setup?

Ermergerd, new Metric album.

Relaxing at my local, drinking good beer and reading a fun book. Small pleasures.

Today is my America-versary. 17 years since I moved here from England.

It's been quite an adventure so far!

I've read quite a lot of Tamora Pierce this year.

Finished my first run at Unavowed. Really great point and click adventure. Did not get the ending I would have hoped for.

Check that out, I have an offer letter in my inbox. Neat. 🎈

Lots of math today. Because of course I'd design and build a bookcase with shelves at a jaunty angle.

Embarking on a woodworking project, which means figuring out how the heck SketchUp works.

I gotta say, it's a confusing interface -- and that's coming from someone who knows how to use Blender.

It's very plausible that the reason I haven't had much luck with email responses this week is that everyone is at Burning Man. 🔥
