I'm an #IndieDev working on new concepts in #GameDev.

@CurseTheDawn @secretlabchairs I wanted a high back chair because my neck gets tired. Chair preference is very personal. The racing style can feel a little like the chair holds you rather than you sitting in it. Some consider that pleasant,others not. It's working for me.

New #Secretlab Titan chair arrived a few days ago. Looks great! Contacted support for an issue and within hours they offered a solution I really appreciate. Excellent packaging, simple assembly. Well done @secretlabchairs

@AnfractuousOne Yes, DOTS. It could be optimized further, I'm sure, but this was sufficient to demonstrate to myself that it will do what I need.

200,000 cubes with moving point light and simple avoidance system on oldish hardware. #Unity3d #UnityDOTS #gamedev

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@CovellJamie Definitely not just you. I like to study/think about physics/math/algorithms anywhere, anytime.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

#ComputeShaders are powerful and great fun. Here's an effect created using one. #gamedev

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@valubik Expected or not, explosions are fun! Okay, not always, especially in real life.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@VoicelessName That sounds like a lot of fun figuring it out. Good luck with it!

Last night I finally installed Baldur's Gate EE after owning it for a long time. Then today I find out Baldur's Gate III is coming. #CrazyCoincidences

Someone I work with is creating a new game. Please help "Siege Command" get published! - https://t.co/0aV2TZ0WTa via @gofundme

Now for #halloween, rough combat transition with some monsters. #gamedev

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@TesselArts I see. Right, it does look great, and lots of opportunities for optimization.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@timeachris Yes, well said.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@timeachris Effective controls is a primary interest in my gamedev work. I love it when a game "just works", game play flows and does what you expect. If it doesn't, it's hard for me to keep playing.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@GearAntique It's a feature--part of the gameplay :)

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@_archieyates @PlayOverwatch Yeah, wow, hectic is one word for it.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@Rigrena I wish it were endless. I love working in the early mornings also... wish I could have a year of that "endless peace" to focus and create.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@CastleMirth Maybe I'll release a "combat simulator" that people can try out and see if it's fun--and adjust it based on feedback.

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

Working on a party-based fantasy #RPG, what would you think of far more complex/realistic combat calculations? #gamedev #gamedesign

[Joel @QuipGame @QuipGame]

@CastleMirth Right, my thinking is along the same lines. HP is figurative... however, I'm wondering if it would still be fun if it closer to a simulation of reality. I have a system I'm liking figured out, but there are a lot of parts to it, thus the question about complexity.
