For me Solomon's Key was an important arcade game that somehow arrived in Chch, NZ in the 80's. I was interested to read this interview with the designer. #tecmo #retro #arcadegames #japan Michitaka Tsuruta - a history of Tecmo and classic platform-puzzlers - www.gamedeveloper.com/design/michi...

Every step towards something that might be worth playing feels pretty good. A basic playable loop and improved authoring tools are next on the road map. The further I go the more the work of @oskarstalberg.bsky.social looks like witchcraft! youtu.be/FVw_amiIqtE #unrealengine #gamesdev #indiedev

Stack 'em up, rack 'em up. Currently debugging visual debug code and trying not to lose my mind. I am enjoying my newly clean tile joints though.

A new addition to the desk. I almost never use a mouse, just a tablet for everything, but I end up holding the pen all day. So far... Twist to scroll feels retro futuristic. 🔮 I did some Blender work last night, and it was quite good. #trackball #kensington #blender #unrealengine #indiegamedev
