FANTASTIC NEWS! Sling Ming is coming to #NintendoSwitch and #Steam this spring! I'm so proud of the game, but scared it won't get any attention.
YOU CAN HELP! Please spread the word, review the game (ask for key), interview me, etc. I'm forever grateful!

Now THIS is how your write a game press release: https://t.co/X2yvPPfnuj

It seems that tvOS apps are allowed to require a game controller now..? When was this changed? I'm pretty sure there was a big fuzz about having to support the Siri remote, which is bollocks for any game more sofisticated than Crossy Road.

[Mattias Brynervall @BraveCoder]

Cool, I got Sling Ming up and running on my nVidia ShieldTV. 60 fps on a big screen with a nice controller, that's console gaming in my book! #gamedev #indiedev

"Let's light things up then!", Ming said as she threw the itoms into the generator coil. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Exciting news for #GameMaker users, support for #NintendoSwitch is coming! https://t.co/Dl1kxAmiEE

@tuxedolabs Sounds lovely, getting rid of all the cruft. It would be super interesting to get a peek at your framework/toolchain some time! I'm never quite satisfied with mine, but then again perfection is unattainable.

[Mattias Brynervall @BraveCoder]

@tuxedolabs I mean, have you ended your "hiatus"?

[Mattias Brynervall @BraveCoder]

@tuxedolabs True! We are way beyond that limit, so I don't pay much attention to it anymore. Are you back to making mobile games again? :)

[Mattias Brynervall @BraveCoder]

@tuxedolabs Then I think your current solution sounds great, since you'll never edit the cooked textures. Unless you want to support modding, I guess. Why do you want to switch format? To reduce the data size further? Is that important these days? (genuine question)

[Mattias Brynervall @BraveCoder]

@tuxedolabs I use TGA for non-cooked assets and a custom file format for cooked/runtime assets. The runtime format is basically the texture data (either RGBA or some packed format like DXTx) including mip-maps with optional ZLIB compression. Works fine but data is quite large (non-lossy).
