As much as I love gamedev I do wish that I didn't have to cart around a laptop that will burn my legs under any amount of load and run out of battery within a few hours.
I'm seeing people working with some awesome hardware on here and while I do appreciate the stuff I use on a daily basis I cant help but wish that it was more practical for me to experiment.
Same goes for alternative OSes...
I randomly decided to add a small flash when you hit an enemy just to see... and it made things so much more satisftying Drooling face
It's often the small things that make the the biggest impact to game feel! ^-^
I attempted to put down some of my messy thoughts on how we make games and create worlds into a blog post, not sure if I got the point across particularly well but let me know what you think!
You guys all like boats right? π
I'm so exited to finally be able to announce I've been working on Sea of Thieves for the past year! <3
I couldn't sleep so I went out and did some proper photography for the first time ever, then added a section on my website for it ^-^
Pretty happy with how it went!
I finally got around to posting something resembling a coherent thought on my site!
In the quest for aesthetic purity, do we bury the journey that lead us to where we are?

One of the things about #gamedev that constantly gives me a rush is that feeling after you've designed and implemented a system months ago and you decide to make a small change that straight up makes the game feel 10x better, when you could have easily stuck with the original!
"Why is software created using taxpayersβ money not released as Free Software?"
Public Money, Public Code

"We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well."
"Code paid by the people should be available to the people!"
This is absolutely adorable <3
