To celebrate the Fivefold launch, @rixmatt.bsky.social made me this amazing 3D printed physical Fivefold board! It’s so cool!
Photo of a 3d printed square puzzle with a lid. The puzzle is black and the lid says “FIVEFOLD” in 5 colours. Inside the puzzle is a 5 by 5 grid of slots that numbered tiles can be placed into. The numbers on the tiles are different colours to match the digital version of the game. Between each number slot is a slot where different rule tiles can be inserted.

I was playing around with a dithered RGB shader, and swapped out all the green pixels for white ones, and got this. The wild thing is there are only black, white, red, and blue pixels in these scene. The orange, yellow, and green are an illusion! The 2nd image is a close up of the "green" sphere.
A very pixelated looking 3D scene with different coloured blocks and spheres in it. It looks like there are blocks that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but it's rendered using only pixels that are black, white, red, and blue.Very zoomed in view of part of the images showing chunky pixels that are black, white, red, and blue.

I’ve been slowly working on this interactive ceramics projects for a few months now and I finally have a working prototype. Park the car in the driveway and the light in the house turns on! There’s more than needs to be done, but I’m excited that it works!

That sounds great! I was in London this summer and the tube/train system there was mind-blowing to someone who is used to transit in Ontario :)

It’s terrible! They need better and more frequent regional transit options.

Trying to figure out how to get into Toronto for a thing on a friday evening, and google maps estimates the driving time as "1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours 40 minutes". I would take the train, but it doesn't run late enough to get home. This is why I hardly go to Toronto anymore. :P

We ran into a bug on kickoffleague.com that made today's 3rd goal unsolvable. We've fixed the bug and created a new 3rd puzzle that is solvable. You'll have to reload the page to get the solvable puzzle. Sorry about that!

I lived in Montreal while the Expos still played there. They used to have $5 seat night, and the hot dogs were $1.50. It was hard to imagine a better way to spend $11.

It sure seems like the big game publishers want the Hollywood studio way of working (i.e. hire a team of people to make a project, then they all go away when it's done), but without the unions and residuals.

The variety of zelda reactions in my timeline is pretty funny. My only experience with Ocarina of Time was hearing my roommate play it in the next room every day after work for weeks. So for me, OoT will always be: Hup! Hup! Haa! HiYAAAA! Hup! Hup! Haa! Haa! Hup! HiYAAAA!

the more I make games the more I'm convinced that the simplest way to lock in a direction for your game is to answer the thematic question of "what is your game trying to say?" as early as possible and then use the answer as a grounding point for EVERYTHING. it makes direction so much easier.

Working on physical electronics is so fun. You spend days designing everything, drawing out circuit diagrams, prototyping on a breadboard. Then you actually wire everything up properly on a prototype board and solder it all together and nothing works.

Playing Big Walk with friends is like travelling with friends. At the start of the day everyone agrees what the plan is, one friend is trying to make sure everyone has what they need, while another decides to go look at something cool in the distance and isn't seen again until much later.
