Not shady

At the Little Italy festival in Bloomfield, Pittsburgh and the sky turned black on a dime. Thunder, lightning, DUMPING rain. We dashed into the nearest restaurant (Italian) and then Vito from The Sopranos walked in. Of course.

Today is my birthday and I'm celebrating by launching the big story update that brings Act 1 to its epic conclusion! I crunched on this until 6 AM last night and sprinted through it today... but it's FINALLY HERE! Please enjoy and share this! store.steampowered.com/app/3727130/... #indiegame

Scrubbin' Trubble - a co-operative turn-based roguelike clean-em-up - is OUT NOW on Steam! Time to grab a friend and clean house!! (or just play solo that's fine too). Grab your sponge and yellow gloves and battle through levels chock full of Nasties to take down the Four Filths of the Apocalypse!

Guess what? Scrubbin' Trubble has a launch date! It's MARCH 31st! The world's first cooperative roguelike clean-em-up is coming soon. SOON. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtU5...

Steamworks UX is a joke. Confusing, scary, messy, brittle, flaky, fragmented, inconsistent, time consuming, and ugly as sin. Does Valve even have product managers?

If you author a system that uses a PRNG, especially one for content creation, please let the user specify the seed. Kind of annoyed Bitwig doesn't have this yet. Good randomized sequences are completely luck-based and not reproducible.

I've been playing with L-systems, often used to generate fractals. Turns out it can be useful for generating waveforms and rhythms. Here's a waveform generated from these axioms + harmonic quantization and a WAV generator. < 200 LoC in Lua A = "AbABa" a = "bAaBa" B = "BaAbB" b = "bAaBb"

I'm pretty sure I don't know how to make a thread on Bluesky.

Here a bonus that I never shared before, a video of the custom NES tool I've written to generate game data. It was designed to create an MMC3 ROM and the code was assembled using ca65. I'll explain each individual tool in the thread.
