Last bi-monthly update for the year! To say my team and I got this far in six months is nothing less than impressive, I'm so proud of them :D
We're aiming for a late 2027 release date but before that, let's just say it begins with a "K" and ends with an "R" ;3

Forgot to post the photo of this ding dong after spending six hours with three energetic golden retrievers on Thanksgiving. He slept so soundly and snored like a chainsaw all night.

Just like what everyone else is saying, same thing, but with way less of the stress of worrying bout how how to eat, get meds, or take care of basic needs for a small family. I’d still contribute, still work hard, and still find meaning in what I do and who I am.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I'm starting to feel kind of grumpy about how some indie and AA games copy so many of the practices that harm AAA. Like, dopamine loops and such can be compelling in a good way, but when we're implementing fomo shops, daily grinds, etc just like big companies... idk it feels wrong to me.

In order to get this in the slow cooker for long enough, had to season yesterday and then sear at 8am today to get rolling.
This is for the carnivore, aka teen son, and the rest of the day is vegan and vegetarian prep.

Unity's SerializeReference attribute, plus the extensions here github.com/mackysoft/Un... make for a very powerful way to expose in-engine, fully configurable class instances and collections of those instances.

A recently discovered canid is making their home along the coast of LA. They’re classified as coyotes, but Red Wolf ancestry gives them bigger ears, and longer legs.
Scientists are working to better understand these hybrids and what they mean for the future of canids in the region.

Back at it today, got targeting working, different projectiles (though need better class abstraction), and some better collision working.
Might have fun later and add VFX out of order because we all deserve nice things!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
(Depending on how compelling my last idea was, I’m either the thing that brings them all together to save me, or I’m dead. Probably dead.)
