Shit shit shit.
Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you.
I'm a 20+ year pro software/gamedev in "Fake London" Canada

The joyful chaos of #over/under over the last month really opened my eyes to the power and delight of collaborative storytelling. I'm lucky to have participated in my small way. My deep thanks to everyone involved.

Doesn't look like much but this is the same 6502 code cross-compiled on my Mac and running in both the little 6502 emulator I'm using for testing and the IIGS itself. I can now start actual development on the Z-Machine interpreter!

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Sign #over/under may have gotten into my head: I quit my fake job over a fake reorg of a fake company and genuinely feel a bit down about it.

One of the things I am most enjoying about #over/under is that there's nobody to disappoint. You can do what you want and participate as much or as little as you want and there's no sense that you ruined the Warden's extensive prep by going in a different direction than they intended.

It's been an unproductive year for gamedev. I worked on a game engine for the #playdate but my interest petered out. My current project is liskon, a Z-machine interpreter written in C. This is actually the third stab I've taken at an interpreter, previously writing ones in Python and Rust.

Finished this today. Loved it! Very much recommended.
Finally got around to starting The Excavation of Hob's Barrow yesterday...
You can tell this was crafted with real love and attention. The art, storytelling and voice acting are really fantastic. Looking forward to getting stuck in!

Hi Bluesky! 👋

I wrote, designed and programmed our most recent release, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, a folk horror mystery that was longlisted for a BAFTA and was a PC Gamer GOTY nominee!

I've just started working on a #playdate game that is intended to be an Erie-canal themed Paperboy-like. It's a remake of a half-finished game I worked on in Unity. The current goal is to build a whiteboxed prototype to test and tune gameplay.
