Daniel Draper @draperdanman.bsky.social · 3hSo most people say not to ship the Vulkan DLL with your app because it you lose out on driver updates. But the lunarG website says to ship it with your app, but try load from the system loader first. What's the go here. Prompting the user to install Vulkan drivers seems like terrible UX 🤔 000
Daniel Draper @draperdanman.bsky.social · 22hI'm been working on my Wayland handling in my latest project. And while it's a really cool compositor. The complexity to get a window functioning 'normally' is far more than any other windowing system. 000

Daniel Draper @draperdanman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I really did enjoy FF7Remake. Spending more than 8 hours in Midgar was great and I think they did a great job of bringing more life to the places you visit there. I haven't played Rebirth yet, everyone talking about the todo-list style that is pushed hasn't really made me too keen to check it out... 100

Reposted by Daniel DraperRojo Velasco @rojovelasco.itch.io · 19/08/2026Ironing out details for release. Having the Terms marked as New was a test player request but it leads into one of my pet peeves. The Terms are only unmarked as New when you press a button, not just by scrolling, which I find very annoying when games do. #playdate #indiedev #gamedev 0164

Daniel Draper @draperdanman.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I feel like there are many many cases that aren't like this. We just don't hear about it as much because they're not being shut down. But I understand the sentiment 🤘 000
