<p>Open source Minnesotan, making Veridian Expanse (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@VeridianExpanse" class="u-url mention">@<span>VeridianExpanse</span></a></span>). I made the Chipmunk2D physics engine, and some other fun libraries. By day, I do a lot of game adjacent work like therapeutic VR, real time drone mapping, and math for heavy machinery.</p><p>Profile picture is me wearing headphones with a cat laying across my shoulders.</p>

    Put together by a local friend that&amp;#39;s frustrated at work: https://no-sloptober.com/ Maybe not terribly relevant for many Mastodoners, but we all know people to share this with right? (I admittedly made a joke about starting the challenge 30 years ago, but be careful about throwing shade on this one... Don&amp;#39;t be someone that mocks the idea of self-improvement.)

    Don&amp;#39;t look at me... I&amp;#39;m still of the opinion that &amp;quot;maybe it&amp;#39;s good to memorize things so you don&amp;#39;t have to look them up on the internet every time you need to remember them.&amp;quot; I obviously still use the internet though, so maybe I&amp;#39;m a hypocrite. 🤷

    Oh, I suppose I forgot to share this. There was a game convention in town a few weeks ago and I got to try running SLORTH! (my toy 6502 Forth implementation) on a C64U. Worked great! Debugger, disassembler, everything. I’ve now run it on 3 bit of real hardware. (Along with Apple //e, and NES)

    Ok... This is easily the most clever version of Bad Apple I&amp;#39;ve seen. &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r40AvHs3uJE

    One of our clients asked if we knewa about “an old flash game called Lemonade Stand”. I said no, which was *technically* true.

    Whaaaat. I’ve lived a 30 minute drive from “Scott county” for almost 10 years and had no idea. Why didn’t anyone tell me! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_County%2C_Minnesota

    RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@VeridianExpanse/116508556036375113 Ok Fedi friends. This is my game&amp;#39;s demo that I&amp;#39;ve been (mostly) solo dev-ing. Playable in your browser this moment. (the thread has a download with source code too!) I&amp;#39;m kind of looking for feedback if it&amp;#39;s a good demo or not before launching it on Steam. It&amp;#39;s a crafting game, and the demo caps the available materials. I worry that it will lead players to grind instead and end the dem...

    I borrowed @jolexxa’s dogs for a few days and Tigger is surprisingly ok with our guests. He even jumped up on that chair of his own volition to hang out! He’s possibly the most chill cat I’ve ever met, but in the past he’s gone full on feral around other cats. (Foaming at the mouth and everything…) 20 year old Tigger around miniature poodles though? Eh… can’t be bothered. &amp;gt;_&amp;lt; #catsofmastodon

    New Unity fees! https://mobilegamer.biz/unity-risks-fresh-backlash-with-new-fee-demands-this-feels-like-blackmail/ Enterprise fees this time which... is not my problem exactly*, but why would anyone be under the illusion that they aren&amp;#39;t going to do it to regular folks next? lol * actually I no longer have any Unity license, completely not my problem. \o/ (edit: We actually got caught up in a similar change a year ago. I have a blog post that talks about it -&amp;gt; https://www.slemb...
