Sold my Ayn Thor! I am shocked that I didn't end up playing it as much as other devices (The Onexfly with Bazzite is my go-to). Extra surprising, considering how much the community loves it. I'm sure the new owner will be happy with it.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free. ...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut...

banner reading: REVERTICES @ Toronto Game Expo (with sunny and kezia). Beside the text is an image of three shape-based characters from the game, all drawing their weapons. They are in a simple style: a red diamond head, a blue triangle head, and a green circle head.

Continued work on my turn based battle system. Added a bit of UI, thought this really needs characters and animations soon! Got the Healer brain to work (heals allies below 50%) and the defend + counter attack feature (without infinite counter loop) 😅 Fun stuff!

Ryan Miller @ryanmiller.ca · 19/10/2025

Making a turn based RPG battle system today. I've never made one more simple than just back and forth attack/health turns and wanted to give it a shot!! It's just text so far but it supports multiple combatants, turn order/amount from speed, and even a few enemy AI profiles.

Realized today that it would be kind of trivial to make the tile editor work at runtime, so I did that. Should I do a level editor or is this just a horrible distraction??? Yes!!

Spent some time on dialog sequencing today. Added an ID system to link scene objects to scriptable objects, making them easy to reference in dialog etc. Also some quality of life stuff: a quick “Add Opposite Dialog” shortcut and hid extra params in foldouts.

Unity Devs: How do you organize your scene hierarchies in Unity? Talking about Environments/Props. I don't really want to group everything. Do y'all use those scene hierarchy plugins that make fake folders? Do you make =====NPCS===== header gameobjects? Something else? TELL ME!

I've decided to keep both dialog bubbles and the text box. Figure they'll be useful in different contexts. That's enough time working on Dialog UI, time to get back to ... gameplay? art? level design? 🤔

Working on a 'bubble' version of the dialog player UI. I got positioning + screen clamping working. Next up will be the 'stem' graphic and placement. Maybe some padding.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
