I haven't seen this particular series but there is a lot of really incredible YouTube history content. This one looks pretty cursed so I'll check it out. I'm working through Josephus' "The Jewish War" right now which isn't exactly light reading lol but it's an amazing primary source.
I listen to a lot of history "great courses" content which is maybe not everyone's cup of tea. Some of the more engaging nonfic I listened to in the last few years were: 'masters of doom', 'mindfuck', 'the adventure of english', 'diary of Anais nin', 'entangled life'
Yessss I usually get through ~20-25 books a year now and a big reason for that is audiobooks. I find non fiction especially work great with the format.
Rest up. Hope you feel better soon

that is very cool (and scary)! your life is like the movie 'fall' but hopefully much, much safer. coincidentally, i used to work for globalstar (although the most field work i did was testing sat phones in the parking lot).
Terrifying... This is your job??
I think it's still good practice to go through the whole process of submitting and releasing on itch even if you aren't completely satisfied with it. The game looks cool enough and nothing saying you can't flesh out the mechanics more later.

yoo i'm pretty pumped for Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. will it overtake Scott Pilgrim at becoming the essential "Toronto" movie?

i fell in love with the sprites made by
@v3x3d.bsky.social and had to try them out. i only wish i had the time to use more of them and implement the ui elements from the set.
hey thank you! i used a custom engine which is specifically designed to bang out these types of games quickly for game jams.

Some of the #roguelike entries being developed for the fortnight! itch.io/jam/roguetem...
looks great! love the 2.5d visual style
finally got the chance to look over this, and it sounds fun! very well scoped for 2 weeks. i'm a big advocate for streamlining traditional rogue-like mechanics into more modernized gameplay loops such as wave survival. were you planning on having a fixed sized arena or still have floor progression?
Looking great! Adding mouse support was a great idea. It's one of those things that is a bit annoying to add, but it makes a big impact on accessibility.
work in progress for my #14drl entry. adjacent tile bitmasks have been super helpful in finding valid tile+door placements, how have i never used them before??
