Execution Unit

Just finished voxel twin stick Smith and Winston. Used to work at Argonaut and System 3 but now I am solo.

This is more from me for #screenshotsaturday

[LuckyDonkeyGames @LuckyDonkeyGame]

For #screenshotsaturday here is a prototype pic using @KenneyNL and @KayLousberg assets from a few weeks ago. I'm testing the Utility AI out with this little NPC guy. He's rushing of to the toilet! #indiedev #gamedev #SoloGameDev #unreal

My alter ego

[LuckyDonkeyGames @LuckyDonkeyGame]

Not 100% sure what game I'm making yet but it's starting to look nice. Next sprint is to try and make it look interesting and more varied.

We're always open.

@MJKlaim @dougbinks @jdryg BGFX uses it's own OpenGL like shader language. This means you can't use standard shader debugging tools. At times this was really annoying.

Hot reload is pretty trivial in BGFX thanks to it's design and use of resource handles.

Note: I've not looked at it for about a year!

@MJKlaim @dougbinks @jdryg yep, I really liked it. Well worth spending some time with. The only sore point for me was shader compiling/debugging. Definitely give it a go, play with the samples. Very high quality library.

@botherer @TheUriGeller “I want to be cremated,” he said. “And I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller’s eyes.” - such a loss. Geller would do it if it was televised.

Recently found myself needing to unpack #UnrealEngine PAK files so I could compare the effect of different packing options. Here is the short #Python3 script I used as a gist.

(no it will not unpack commercial or encrypted games)

@thejanbeta That is a really good monitor. Excellent picture and color... as you'd expect from a Sony Trinitron.

I learned an interesting lesson recently about code rot:

If you use a large teams engine (unity/unreal) your code rots at an accelerated rate.

So your code rots faster and you gain features you'll never use. This is very expensive for small teams over time.

@PaulieHughes Well the upside is that you'll get ~20 more years of healthy life than when the state pension was first introduced!

[Execution Unit @executionunit]

@PaulieHughes Ah I see, that makes sense.

[Execution Unit @executionunit]

@PaulieHughes So what exactly is the "master maker"? Is it a special piece of hardware?

[Execution Unit @executionunit]

So cool!

Here's a first little taster of The Empire Strikes Back, #C64. This is a very early pre-alpha so much work still to do. Code by me, gfx by @superrune. Any glitches/fuzziness is down to the video capture. 🙂More updates to come in the future! #Megastyle 🕹️🚀

@PaulieHughes A few days ago I was reading about copper list techniques from back in the day. This stuff isn't mass audience but I think it's important to document it. A lot of it is wonderfully elegant as well, especially compared to modern vast code bases. I learned a lot.

@Voxels I've made some amazing slow cook curries in an instant pot.
