The next game from @ndreams.bsky.social to see the light of day.

I'm happy to have played a part behind the scenes on this one, albeit only a small part compared to the top-notch folks at Elevation.

I'm cutting it a bit close, but better than nothing. 😜

I'll be speaking at @gamedevlocal.bsky.social Expo tomorrow at UCA Farnham tomorrow for @ndreams.bsky.social . The talk "New Career Plus" covers a few lessons I've learnt in my career for others' benefit.

Starts at the Careers Stage at 4:30

A lot of people don't realise how much of a big deal this can be for some. Takes a lot of practice but it gets easier

A reminder that if you start Die Hard tonight at about 9:58:13 pm, you can time it so that Hans falls through the sky at about midnight. Merry Christmas.

Also, Die Hard sure as hell is an Xmas movie.

Within the Slack is a thread where people are posting their profiles to go into this pack.

An hilarious side effect is that many people's mobiles are currently dinging like a machine gun. 🀣

nDreams have very recently joined Bluesky - I suspect they may be interested in a few friendly welcomes. 😁

That didn't take our Comms folks long to react. 😁

Hopefully it'll be different from the time a car magically teleported from the City of London to Glasgow mid-chase. πŸ˜•

I'd be quite curious to read that. Personal experience seems like views of async-await vary depending on the language used.

A-A was sorely needed in C# (given the old task implementation) and in Python appears dependant on whether asyncio is used. I haven't used JS enough recently to form a view.

Sky Follower Bridge – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB) Download Sky Follower Bridge for Firefox. Instantly find and follow the same users from your Twitter follower on Bluesky.

For those currently trying to find their Twitter follows/followers over here, this is a hella useful extension. Link for the Chrome version is doing the rounds, so here's the one for those preferring Firefox.

Just...make sure to change your Twit/BSky passwords when done. As a general precaution.

About time I started using this place proper. Mind throwing me on it? πŸ˜‰

Looks like an interesting list...mind if I get on it? 😜

15+ years working on engines & tools should hopefully suffice. πŸ™‚

For those curious as to why I've a sudden burst of activity after being away from here for months - I'm one of those currently working on moving off the blue bird that's more like a vulture on fire nowadays.

Right now, that means finding Bluesky accounts for mutuals and throwing follows to them.

At this point, it's probably gone beyond "just a habit". 😳

Sorry, I meant most of *my* posts on this platform are likely to be any of those topics. πŸ˜‚

Sometimes a couple of them at the same time.

Honestly, most of this feed (when it's active) is probably going to be either games technology, FFXIV or highlighting stuff from fellow gamedevs.

Finally made it over. 😊

Was going to write something profound for my first post...then I realised I don't even remember what my first post on Twitter was, so a bit pointless. πŸ˜‚
