I'm finally working on a #monogame back-end for #fadebasic. This is the start of Phase 2! The first phase was building the language (fadebasic.com). The second phase is building a binding to monogame. The third phase is a mystery. #indiedev #gamedev #programming

Getting back to my fish game with #monogame and #fadebasic. Adding more of the game structure with moves/score/upgrade pathways, extra moves and passive abilities. I have about 20 ideas for new upgrades... Happy vacation programming times. #indiedev #gamedev #staycation

I finally finally did the thing graphics folk are supposed to do and hooked up #renderdoc to a #monogame project so I can see all the things! Very cool stuff!

Battle Train launches tomorrow and my brain has no idea how to feel. This game has been a long dev cycle.. and I'm proud of it.. but also... it feels surreal that its actually -finally- done. Doesnt seem real.

working on #fadebasic langcore. I just had that fun experience where last night after hours of agonizing debugger, I had to give up my task and go to bed... And tonight, after 40 minutes and wildly different approach, my task worked like a charm. #indiedev #takeABreak And now I can re-assign arrays!

hooked up an auto reload system for #monogame shaders. This works by having a separate process file-watch the .fx files and invoke the monogame content builder. It works pretty well! Or, well enough for now!

hooked up some code-reloading action for #fadebasic and #monogame. When I see the red border in monogame, it means new fade code has been compiled, and is ready to rock! #indiedev #gamedev

added some more spiff to my #fadebasic and #monogame fish matcher. Explosions and bounce easing functions, hoozah! #indiedev #gamedev

coding like its 2007 and I don't know how with #fadebasic ! This is using #monogame as the framework, and fade basic as the scripting language. The grid is a fixed length array and all the combo/animation is happening inline. #indiedev #gamedev #nostalgiaprogramming
