Went to @bostonindies.bsky.social Demo Night to show off my game about bears mauling children! I got a lot of great reception, and a few ideas for improvements. But I have other projects to do, and the question is: How much effort should I put into a meme game? #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #bible

UPDATE: Unplugging it from my 4k tv seems to have helped a lot.
On this night, 24 hours from Demo Night, I am reminded that my "gaming" laptop is over a decade old, and will NOT put up with my shenanigans. #gamedev

Still plugging away at my game about bears mauling children for calling a guy bald! I'm close to finished! It can handle 200-300 kids running around, animated at the same time (or over 15,000 if you aren't looking at them) #gamedev #indiedev #biblestory #gaming #unity3d

Cramming Wicked because I told my gf I'd read it before the sequel came out.
I'm surprised none of the violence or sex scenes made it into the first movie, they're basically a third of the book!

UPDATE: took a microbreak from bears to fix up Infinipong, my never-ending pong clone! I fixed a rendering bottleneck, so now the game can handle more than double the balls before it breaks! (500,000 -> 1.2 million balls!) #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #videogames

Slowly figuring out Unity ECS animations! I'm probably going to switch over to a paid package that does it better for my next project, but this one was a learning experience! #gamedev #indiedev #bible

I desperately wish @unity.com had a built-in animation solution for ECS. My current workaround is functional, but I lose a lot of the performance benefits I expected out of DOTS. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev
