@distraction.engineer is it easy/possible to reenable twitch on the ldjam front page? last jam it was harder to watch people playtest because the twitch feed wasn't up so only regulars knew about it

requested a Rider/unity feature a while back: the ability to test platform-specific code/preprocessors without hard switching platform (e.g. use intellisense for PS5 while unity's in xbox mode) they put it to public voting so if you have a rider account: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-...

Finally ported Rude Bear to switch and just passed cert first time after 8 days of testing. can't catch me. it also runs at 120fps throughout on the ORIGINAL nintendo switch (which required gutting everything Unity in existence)

after 23 years of rolling morrowind characters (always saving the main quest till last), I have actually managed finished the main quest (and every other faction) for the first time ever just now I have still never played any major mods for the game or the DLC so it will keep on giving haha

Alex Rose @alexrosegames.bsky.social · 23/04/2025
so, I decided to go ham on rude bear for a few weeks and make the best switch port ever because it was running at like.. 40fps and I didn't want it to ever get drop below 60 it's now running at like 200fps even on dev builds with deep profiling on

it's actually very clever that they can ship RTS games on switch 2 with the mouse. will be interesting to see if it's any good

decided after many years to finish porting Rude Bear to switch armed with 8 years of porting experience involved some mega tasks e.g.: - got rid of multi cameras, exposed sorting layers in textmesh - removed unity ui - rewrote input to use raw native calls - rewrote fmod to not use 3d attributes

just a heads up to anyone who's ever ported a game that has a Season Pass type DLC (not relevant to durables) make sure ingame purchases are still working on your live retail games. DMs are open if you want clarification
