At the Little Italy festival in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh and the sky turned black on a dime. Thunder, lightning, DUMPING rain. We dashed into the nearest restaurant (Italian) and then Vito from The Sopranos walked in. Of course.

Steamworks UX is a joke. Confusing, scary, messy, brittle, flaky, fragmented, inconsistent, time consuming, and ugly as sin. Does Valve even have product managers?

If you author a system that uses a PRNG, especially one for content creation, please let the user specify the seed. Kind of annoyed Bitwig doesn't have this yet. Good randomized sequences are completely luck-based and not reproducible.

I've been playing with L-systems, often used to generate fractals. Turns out it can be useful for generating waveforms and rhythms. Here's a waveform generated from these axioms + harmonic quantization and a WAV generator. < 200 LoC in Lua A = "AbABa" a = "bAaBa" B = "BaAbB" b = "bAaBb"

Scrubbin' Trubble by @oddobject.zone It was super cool to see this announced, and it looks so cool! Another turn based-y beat em up. Notable that @fourbitfriday.bsky.social of UFO50 fame is part of the team. (also go play Catacomb Kids on Steam!) store.steampowered.com/app/3276700/...

“Dora has been an INCREDIBLE producer for In Stars and Time!!! Always organized and strategic, always helpful, always a pleasure to talk to. I could not have asked for a better producer, and In Stars and Time wouldn’t have had the same success without her!!!”

“Dora is one of the kindest, coolest, most organized and thoughtful producers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I genuinely believe that without her fighting for us from the very first email pitch, Bear and Breakfast would not have existed.”

Here a bonus that I never shared before, a video of the custom NES tool I've written to generate game data. It was designed to create an MMC3 ROM and the code was assembled using ca65. I'll explain each individual tool in the thread.

If there are animals that have wings instead of arms, it only seems fair that there should be animals that have wheels instead of legs.
