Several folks have asked me where they can follow my progress on HorrorTown, the video game I'm making.
You can follow on https://t.co/AUp6BelW9s
and now on Patreon!

There is a free tier but I've also made some posts public - so take a look!

@lloydkinsella I can't even get to the point of raising a ticket, that's the problem!

[Layla @LaylaCodesIt]

Why is #Azure Billing support so difficult?!?! I had an old resource group that was disabled, the service was deprecated, so my stuff was auto-migrated and the RE-ENABLED!! Now i have a £40 bill and it says it's ineligible for refund - contact support. HOW?!?!?!?! #Microsoft #MVP

[Layla @LaylaCodesIt]

@ayaladev You guessed it! Do you know how to raise a support ticket?

Sneaking around is always fun 😎🦹‍♀️🦹‍♂️

I've managed videos every week!

However, we'll be probably moving to a video every two weeks.

I tried out @unitygames #HDRPwater today. It initially looked really awesome, but the lack of tooling for creating things like masks (to attenuate waves around the shore for example) is a killer :-(
Have I missed something?!

@sandertenbrinke @pilatesdev I taught Pilates for many years before becoming a developer juat to add to the confusion!

We had a major tech breakthrough today - we finally got #Unity #ECS #DOTS working! This means we should be able to obtain our reach goal of deploying The Third Tourist to the #Steamdeck.

I've been working with #Unity #UIToolkit - it's been tough.

I've posted a poll to see who'd be interested in a deepdive video on it - lemme know!!

I made a quick video about a prototype for a mini game I made for The Third Tourist.

It's basic atm, but we're aiming to have several mini games.

Candles will be a big part of the gameplay!
