Finally, I'm getting some new models into my game!

This one is the orbital railgun

Honestly, it had been an uphill battle to work on my game when life knocks at your door constantly. But I'm happy that at least recently, I have made some progress and haven't given in to the "Just make another game" ideas that pop into my head.

Popular 'Bluey' episode temporarily removed by ABC Aussie fans of the hit children's cartoon show Bluey have been left fuming over the ABC's decision to tempo...

Stuff it, I'll buy the damn physical copies.

Are we really in the time where digital media lasts less time than my nixie tunes that were made before I was born? WTH

I mean, you could suffer in a different way? Goggles?

I also tend not to cut the root part, and that seems to help. (from an anecdotal piece of evidence, so, lots of salt with that one).

Servonauts on Steam An absurd couch co-op gas station builder for 1-4 players! Manage a servo (that's Aussie for "gas station") as impatient space travellers demand service. Wrangle wobbly pipes, set up refiner...

Hi all! I have finally made the jump to Bluesky! I'm a game developer here in Brisbane, and our debut game Servonauts is OUT NOW on PC and Switch! Feel free to check it out :DπŸ˜ƒ

I hope to reconnect with the ol' aus gamedev scene, I miss what Twitter once was πŸ˜”

Hehe, a ~200mm reflector with a focal length of 1.2 meters collects a tonne of light.

Can't wait to get some snaps at 120x

The slight aberration is probably caused by the 25mm PlΓΆssl eyepiece + my phone camera.

I really need to look into getting a proper camera mount.

Yo.
If you're running into issues where you can't do something in the Unity3d editor, or there's a bug that you can't work around normally... my recent talk may interest you.

You can easily change almost anything in the compiled assemblies at runtime.

Some are terrible, one I found is fairly good is: (base is a touch bulky but it's got 3 levels, and doesn't strain.

Is "yeah, nah" a confirmation or?

What about "nah, yeah" cause I could be in trouble...

The most I've done is building a Turing-Like machine execution blocks and hashing the state to see if we have seen it before

Super keen and privileged to be going to GCAP and PAX, if you are going (or not) hit me up in person or online whenever to discuss Amy and all things.

Need to grok optimisation? I'm down.

Wanna chat design? Keen as a bean!

Or literally about anything! ✨️

I got banned, and miss having the 15k followers to get visibility for game dev technical blog posts, and hive mind when I had a question, but I think I'm happier it's out of my life for the reasons you mention.

Hi, honestly not sure what to write. I like coffee a bit tooo much.
Currently Technical Lead at Funselektor.
I'm making a game.
I like puns.

Something more personal:
I've been wanting to get into writing senryu and haiku.
