I have a lot of respect for Matt @mattrified.bsky.social who has always been very transparent with his whole indie solo (mostly?) FGC dev career. It's not easy to share the ups and downs of ones work like he does. But it's very encouraging and has helped me be more transparent myself too. Big thanks

Andrea @andreadprojects.bsky.social is both a dev AND a community leader in the FGC dev space. Always open to chat about his experience, share his knowledge and bringing people together. Plus he's also a fan of Saint Seiya like myself so that's a plus. We salute the mysterious yellow fedora man 🫡

More FGC heroes: Sharpie's @sharpiepls.com energy is unmatched across the FGC. Her community work throughout the years is unmatched and has been able to represent multiple game fandoms as well as female and poc voices. Cheers to a great leader in the space. 🔥

Considering the latest in the FGC, we should celebrate our heroes a lot more. Add yours, I'll start: Mike "MrMKL" @mrmkl.bsky.social is a force of nature in the indie FGC streams. So much so that he makes curating the indie space at EVO look easy. Amazing work. Give him a follow. Here here!

Castagne now has an official forum! Discussion and updates go there first, it's the new central meeting point for the community! forum.castagneengine.com

Hey hey! So up until now, the Castagne community was a bit spread around, but especially on Discord. This isn’t always the best for storing information long-term and having transparent discussion, but it was good enough for a while. However, now that Castagne has grown, it’s time to migrate to a proper forum!

You can find a couple things on the forum already:

You can ask for help! There’s a support category where people can help each other, and answered questions are marked!
You can post and read tutorials! Share your own knowledge there!
Share your games!: Create a thread for your own game so that progress doesn’t get lost! You can also find likeminded people to work with!
Castagne Development!: You can discuss all these progress updates I’m doing there! Threads are created quickly after publication, and you can also talk about improvements to Castagne.
Real-Time Chat: You can still do lightweight discussions there! There’s also more general categories on the forum.

GO TO THE FORUM

The Discord will still exist, but I’m going to focus more and more on the forum as time goes on. The forum is going to be the one pushed forward on the website from now on, and there are integrations from the forum to discord.

Little extra info: at the moment the forum is using DiscourseID, since my mail is blocked by gmail (probably previous owner of the IP doing weirdo stuff with it), but I’m hosting it on my own server. When I have the time to properly investigate and fix this, I’ll add the option for local accounts.

New feature alert! Whereas before you could only declare constants in your state, now you can declare variables!

These variables are only available for the state (or most likely, scope, due to how I’ve implemented it but I haven’t tested it at the moment), and get reset when going through it again. This means they are volatile: you can’t store state from one frame to another, and you also can’t reference them from the outside.

For the technical detail, it’s a per-entity memory stack that doesn’t get saved or rolled back. It has no upper limit, but it might need to reallocate. It starts at a reasonable size so it probably won’t come up unless you push it explicitely. Its volatility allows it to not bog down the implementation, as it gets “reset” every time you try to execute CASC code.

While it might not sound like a huge thing in the context of the previous versions, it actually enables a lot of future behavior. If you looked at the Base CASP I already used a proxy for them using the RegA/B/C/D variables you might have seen at times. They are usually used in intermediary computations. One such example that I’ll need to convert is F branches, which use it to handle modulos.

The main usefulness however is coming soon: using State Calls as functions, with their own local variables. Previous versions of this were limited and hard to parse, but this time it will be much clearer and integrated. Another benefit that is already in, is shorter compilation times: helpers don’t get compiled anymore so it removes like 80%+ of states. Unsure how needed that was since the compiler is in a compiled language now, but we’ll see when it gets to a higher level. This will be tricky to implement, but I’ve got a fairly clear idea of how I want to do it.

I haven't been very vocal about it cuz life's been crazy, but I'm taking part in Jankuary tonight at 6pm EST. Gonna be messing around with Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. It's extremely memeful but has a lot of cool stuff under the hood, which I will fail to demonstrate. Jankuary.com for info!
