Help Laserboy escape The Scientist's experimental vision facility without racking up a massive bill. 13 levels of mayhem and confusion in glorious CRT vision. Now with challenging new achievements!

I should introduce myself. I’ve had a lot of roles, but the more interesting was as a Design Lead for Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio for Mac (though I worked on other Xamarin and Microsoft developer tools). In recent years, I switched to #gamedev. You can play a game we made on Steam for free:

I guess my body needs to make a game again. Tell me, is the Steam Deck good? Frankly, I am more a gamedev than a player. I enjoy creating worlds rather than playing games, but I would love to have a device that I can go to the pub with and brainstorm on.

Let’s continue with Windows, particularly WinUI/Fluent. Shadows are interesting: they appear to rotate in 3D around the X-axis. The top part of the shadow is closer to the window edge than the bottom part.

High contrast themes in macOS Tahoe are quite unfinished, and I hope they will be improved. For example, traffic lights have two inner strokes: one normal 0.5pt stroke (used in all themes) and another HC-only 1pt stroke. See the image ALT descriptions for more details.

📰 A small #gamedev studio of two brothers reports receiving their first ever negative Steam review on their #indiegame, with the reason "woke nonsense", after the gamer realized that the game engine used had made a social media post in support of LGBT game developers.
