[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

I regularly have to remove the community-applied steam tags "FPS", "RPG", "Battle Royale" for my programming puzzle game. What's the deal?

#rustlang #gamedev

tl;dr I got a regular job.

[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

@skierpage Thanks, I've fixed them. But it's a fairly frequent mistake of mine, I'm sure there are many more offences in the devblog. I'm better with compiled languages.

[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

Robo Instructus 1.28 is out today based on my new text rendering stack that now supports otf fonts.

In the end maybe I should have just learned to love the ttf...

release notes https://t.co/DR1iAlNaxJ

[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

I just released glyph_brush 0.7 (rust text rendering library used in Robo Instructus).

otf fonts are now supported, rusttype has been replaced with ab_glyph, everything is faster and the API is more powerful.

https://t.co/4dMtmsXOq8

[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

Slowly working my way up the text rendering stack. Today I released ab_glyph 0.1. It's like a faster rusttype with first class otf support.

I couldn't resist adding a similar example to rusttype's wonderfully confusing ascii one.

https://t.co/JtFMegjCFS

Next step glyph-brush.

[Big AB Games @bigabgames]

The latest Robo Instructus update 1.27 will automatically follow your code execution while debugging.
