Feel amazing to finally get this game out the door! We’ve been working on Glassbreakers in fits and spurts for the last 10 years. Super proud of all the work our team has done getting it across the finish line this last year.
ENTER THE ARENA.

Glassbreakers is here. Play it now on Steam, Meta, and Apple Arcade.

Was getting tired of the SRS algo in Anki and just decided to order a nice set of flashcards for JLPT N3 review. Found a complete set that covers N5 to N1. It’s funny how much the N1 box looks the the boss mode of the box.

Finally having some plumbing pros fix a long standing tree root sewage line issue that has plagued us for years. Every ~2 years they would have to come out and hydrocut the sewer line to sweep out the roots that snuck in. Feels awesome to finally get this dealt with for good.

Fun question from my Trivia meetup:
What Olympic Sport could you personally get away with for the longest before anyone noticed you had no idea what you were doing?
- Bobsledding seems like the safe answer
- Downhill Ski Jump and Canoe Slalom seem like physics cover inexperience until catastrophe.

Fun weekend project. Finally got around to putting up sound proofing foam around my desk to cut back on wall reflections when recording audio. Co-worker is recording some narration here tomorrow so it forced me to get the project done lol.

A lot of indie development is working hard on a game with the hope people will enjoy it, so it’s really rewarding seeing people’s responses to the demo. Playing the demo three times is a high compliment!

Currently playing the Glassbreakers: Champions of Moss preview. It's technically and artistically impressive. @polyarcgames.com has created something special. More coverage soon.

Not every day I get to make an old-taku "お前はもう死んでいる" meme reference in a code review. And it actually fits for once in the context of the bug! I suspect I might be the only one that gets the reference though and am now feeling old. 😿

Was surprised to see a VirtualBoy here at #prge in a hard plastic case. @straycatalyst.bsky.social helped me find a virtual boy in a previous trip to Osaka, but mine was in a simple cardboard box. Turns out these were rental units for video stores. Had no idea this was a thing!

I had learned for the first yesterday at the Nintendo talk there was an official sowing machine add on for the GameBoy. Imagine my surprise when we came across one at a resale booth today at #PRGE

Testing out some AC Christmas light controllers from HolidayCoro. Finally replacing the homebrew Renard controllers we’ve been using for years as they were start to get a bit squirrelly.

Trying out making carnitas for the first time tonight. Was surprised how much juice came out of the pork in the Dutch oven (start led with just the juice of a few oranges on the pot). Wishing I had left the pork for another 30min to slow cook, but over all tasting pretty darn good!

Turns out half of perf optimization in Unreal is just finding all the static meshes that have dynamic collision turned on that someone forgot to unset.
