I keep having my phone die on me when I'm testing games on mobile. It slowly starts throttling, I'm like damn I have to do an optimization pass again, and it just dies. I wake up. #gamedev

#gamedev #minecraft #runescape WATER! ...and I changed how the atlas works, now you have a pregenerated map, which is more traditional. I think it works better and is a bit clearer. I playtested the game two days ago and people kind of fumbled with the old system. It was too novel in a way!

You can harvest the lodestone, but you have to deal with the consequences... #game #gamedev #runescape #minecraft #nethack #roguelite

Breaking a lodestone gives you the island's magnetite, but the gravity gradually starts flipping. You have limited time, as after the gravity is flipped, you land back at the last lodestone you travelled from. #game #gamedev #runescape #minecraft #nethack #roguelite

DotA but you're a drone in a swarm. It's starting to take shape. Smarter swarm, juicier visuals, bigger chaos 🚀🪐👾 #gamedev

Cooked up a fat new website to celebrate the iOS launch, now you can find electrobillion on the small screens #gamedev #indie #citybuilder

#gamedev #indie #citybuilder #electrobillion I'm doing a crazy sprint trying to get iOS out of the door! Press kit coming soon, alongside the App Store launch!

Multi-day power outages slowly create 'distressed' buildings, they take time to repair, and are restored quicker when power is back. It works well as a feedback mechanism that gradually balances excess demand to give you a breather (distressed buildings consume less!) #gamedev #indie #citybuilder

Finally fixed an issue with release builds on iOS, which means that my game went from ~45FPS to ~180FPS due to the move away from WebAssembly/Webkit/HTML5/WebGL2 to WebGPU/Skia. That's a 4× speedup! THAT'S MENTAL! #rust #skia #webgpu #ios #gamedev

Tips now fade out other UI elements, very important for reducing clutter and focusing attention! #gamedev #indiegame #ux

I was profiling Safari and found out a crazy ~20% performance hit (getAttribLocation × 18). Safari in general has been disappointing though, performance-wise Firefox WASM & WebGL is just even better than Chrome. #iOS has to get alternate engines on ASAP! #rust #gamedev

Is Rust really too slow for game dev prototyping? Yes!.. and no. 😉 My 2 cents after 3 commercial titles on why the initial pain might be worth the long-term gain: evrim.zone/blog/opinion... #indie #indiedev #gamedev #rust

I'm getting closer to having a fully-fledged mobile app for #electrobillion: #rust to #webassembly to #ios UX is shoddy at best, but it works! It's an app! #gamedev #indie

Hold actions turned somewhat into a minigame where you have to regularly prune mutated trees, and get a bonus on power sources you maintain in time. It's a lot more engaging and makes you run around and manage pollution much harder. #gamedev #rust #electrobillion

I'm working on improving the substation/pylon UX, and it feels like making sim games is often about wrapping great UX on top of complex systems. #gamedev

I avoided putting up a panic trap for a while (for no good reason), but it's such a necessary tool. #gamedev #rust #webassembly

The city sprawl is always a joy to look at. I'm patting my back for these sprites and a lively town (discounting all the polluted trees on the southwest) #gamedev #rust #gaming

You can set up Scrubbers to get rid of surrounding pollution, especially useful in industrial zones. I am conflicted in terms of the design implications, because currently you work as the grid operator, and now you may also have to participate in cleaning up others' pollution! #gamedev #rust
