In high school I wanted to know how fonts get made and no one knew.
At university I wanted to know how fonts get made and they told me to go to The Hague and speak to a man named Erik.
In The Hague they told me the basics, and I realised ‘how fonts get made’ is gonna take a lifetime to figure out

Everything is wrong. This is not straight. This is too high. This is in my way. We must put them right.

Moves on — the AI only helps a bit.
Just let me know if you have any Q’s,
Or if I can adjust the vibe of it.

found some astonishingly cheap pineapple quinces this morning, so today I have been making quince cheese. Remarkable how much this has lifted my mood

thinking about UI. I don’t love the big sidebars & high information density of a lot of roguelikes — trying to come up with something that’s minimal but still shows everything you’d regularly need

I know it’s been 14 years but I still can’t believe they set the Skyrim user interface in Futura Condensed

Made some sound effects for footsteps & potions. my first serious attempt at sound design, feedback is very welcome
(Combat sounds are not mine, included so bsky compression doesn’t crush the volume)

Added some (extremely placeholder) sound effects to the melee combat and it’s starting to feel very satisfying. Might go ahead and add sounds to everything

map editor now shows tile variants (corner/side pieces, etc) & loads/unloads chunks dynamically around the cursor. Still very barebones (no undo!), but I could probably build most of a game in this

Thinking about coins. having only a single “gold” currency in a game is easy and intuitive, but I think some complexity here is good: many overlapping currencies from different times and places; different regions and social classes having their own understandings of value

the font I’m working on atm is readable at 3pt, which is both very satisfying and also not something I expect anyone to ever take advantage of

- Rewrote the lighting engine to fix performance issues
- Performance issues were actually caused by Vsync so it didn’t make any visible difference
- Still got lighting time down from ~4.7ms per light to ~0.3
- Added columns & sarcophagi (as a treat)

improvements to the lighting system: walls are only lit if you’re on the same side as the light source. (map editor is already hugely useful for creating specific test levels)

built a (pretty rudimentary) map editor this evening.
Adding actors is done by typing their ID and clicking on the map — I’m wondering about some kind of visual interface, but honestly this setup feels good. (maybe just needs autocomplete based on the actor ID database?)
