Ah, saw the first post!

I've moved into games adjacent stuff and almost standard app dev

Currently using Phaser at Gather Town so game dev skills are being used there

Otherwise, the usual suspects. Gambling/slots, architecture, robotics, AI training sims, branded experiences, e-commerce ....

Training sims, serious games, education/e-learning

No tipping point for me, more of moving towards interesting projects/companies which is sometimes games related, sometimes not

Out of interest, what are you looking for?

Thanks! I currently have it under "🧱 Building and Making the Game Learning Resources" 😄

Along side a Marvel Snap presentation which I loved how they worked on iteration www.youtube.com/watch?v=F73n...

Would love to have more under this!

• A 5 step checklist for putting in a central line reduced infection rates from 11% to 0% during a 10 day period
• Good checklists need practice and iteration to be useful. They are reminders, not guides
• A team checklist gives them an opportunity to confer/raise issues

It's a pretty straightforward static page so all the files can be scraped/downloaded and modified for elsewhere

Is there something I can expand on to help?

@patrober.bsky.social I've fixed the location options so that it only returns results that have the location names in them :)

If you do a hard refresh of the page, you should get the latest version

You know if it's the right version if it puts the locations first in the Google Search box

Ah, I think I may have found the issue, will update in a bit
June 5, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to filter by location in the Google Query or APIs :(

Still looking for a way to only get results that mention the location but haven't found something yet
June 5, 2025 at 12:39 PM
Oh, what did you find that was untyped? I can point the PlayCanvas team towards some feedback :)
