Current project: standardising colour cycling for the art community.

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

I've created a standardised format for making images with colour and palette set cycling. After much testing I'm documenting the format.

You wouldn't believe how often I've misspelled the word "palette" as "pallete" or "pallette". I slap myself every time!

Hey @plex thanks for the survey invite.
I'd love to contribute but it's broken.
Y'all good or is there a problem?

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

This is, by far, the weirdest random message I have ever received.

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

@_j4nw Android FTW! Thanks mate.

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

Hey @_j4nw I'm loving Pawnbarian! It's beautifully balanced and I love the challenge.
I'm about to get a new phone. Is there a way to transfer my progress or will I have to start again?

Brits hope for wave of quality "home-grown" actors following discovery of new Benedict Cumberpatch. #dadjokes

Hi Godoers! on this #TrailerTuesday I want to show you our space RTS made with Godot: Extinction Eclipse. You can try out the demo and if you like it, wishlist it to support us!

It will also be available for the Switch soon.

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

I've documented the format as much as possible and done rudimentary testing. I'm currently building a test harness in @godotengine to work through some difficult edge cases.
It's a rabbit hole but it will ensure the first release of this system will be the highest quality.

Excited to announce that our upcoming game Enchantress (working title) is receiving funding from @ScreenAustralia's Games: Expansion Pack Fund!! ✨

A big thanks to everyone who's been helping us along the way! 🤗

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

@LivingWorldsArt I'm still working on it but progress is slow at the moment. I'm building a test harness to help debug the format before I share it and related assets. It's a lot more work than expected; feels like I'm doing 500% more work to get through the last 10%. Passion is still high.

@reduzio https://t.co/zOToXjFXNU has been making these displays for the last few years. Thanks to CaptainProton42 we have a Godot Engine plugin. https://t.co/xB2htOPBWP

@agkdesign Making progress.

@RhlPixels My favourite thing to draw is to make sure that you are not the intended recipient you must not distribute or copy this transmission.

Sucks to be you Twitter.

@Val3ntin_1 I'm very glad you like it. Thanks for the feedback!

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

I've been struggling for > a week to make an algorithm taking a k-combination that returns its index in a 1-based enumeration of k-combinations. Today I finally cracked it (am so relieved).
I weep that I couldn't google the solution, and I can't read maths very enough anymore. 🥺

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

@GergelyOrosz In my experience the rule is "times 3, add 1".
Also planners don't like to see realistic estimates, they prefer you to underestimate so they can whine when "engineers take too long".
Finally when you realistic estimates they tend to cancel the job because it will take too long.

@webprofusion @CodingKaiju Piffle. An unreleased game is still a game.

[Carl Scarlett @ZodmanPerth]

Hey @BrianBagnall1; in case you don't get the Gracious Films newsletter (Bedroom to Billions - The Amiga Years); they're making a C64 film _and_ another Amiga film. That's exciting!
I wish they had links I could send you...Here's some screenshots of the email instead.

Check out Escoria, a point & click adventure game framework for the #GodotEngine. It's open source, has been 6+ years in development and has shockingly good documentation.
