Lowside, my bike racing game, is an attempt to be a spiritual successor to No Second Prize (Amiga, 1992), right down to the helicopter overhead, telling you where the leader is on track. Plenty of stuff done, plenty of stuff to do. RSC is sponsored by simcraft.com

Previous update vs current update of the Waterline intro. Lot of info on the pinned comment on YT. youtu.be/tNVaW5Y1BcY #gamedev

First attempt at building collapse. #gamedev

I met (chased him across a street and shouted at him until he acknowledged me) Patrick Stewart outside Manchester train station in England maybe 25 years ago. Seemed like a thoroughly nice man.

Five hour visit to the ER tonight. Daughter's now at the point where she watches them taking blood. Impossible to think about how much ground work has been laid to achieve results like that with a child who didn't speak until she was 7, and being able to talk her through the fear. So proud.

I've spent my evening trying to not let it get to me that the first comment on something being available for wishlisting, that took 11 months just to get to Alpha state, called it vibecoded.

Licensing cost for Audi might be a bit lower now.

You can wishlist Lowside on Steam now. (This is the bike racing game I have occasionally been posting videos of). store.steampowered.com/app/5493460/... #bikeracing #lowside Thank you for the support, simcraft.com #ad

Step 1: Buy game company. Step 2: Say how this won't affect things. Step 3: Strip company down, writing off unreleased games development budgets as losses on your taxes. Step 4: Go on charm offensive about how much you love games. Glad to know my taxes will be refunding Silver Lake for Step 1.

I got around to updating my first game. It was actually pretty hard to go back and do this. Adds controller support, re-written targeting system, faster loading, smaller install size and more. #gamedev

I'm anti data centers as they are currently being built, but find "AI" fascinating (there is no intelligence to be had here, this is machine learning and a weighted choice, no human-like intelligence there), so I have an adapted model based on the largest fully offline model I can fit across two...

This is INSANE. They have to be hoping for a billion(s) dollar offer to land on their doorstep.

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving instruction sim where you instruct a generative-AI-powered, dynamic NPC, has been spending $1,000 dollars a day to keep the demo working.

Watching this highly accurate documentary. Is the food riot in progress?

Ditto from this account. Like, we're ok, but we're not ok. Sometimes sh*t happens.

If any of you have been holding off on watching, subbing, following on other places or whatever, please consider doing so. Unforeseen circumstances will make the next few months a bit rough. Means I need to pivot a bit from the random stuff to what I feel can make money directly. Thanks.

Run-through of the intro sequence for Waterline, a 'space game on a single planet' that I am developing. None of the ships are final, obviously. #spacegame #gamedev

Here is my first successful playthrough of the ESCORT mission type in my space (without space) game called Waterline. Very much alpha, but everything worked. youtu.be/MxLQAy_9nuc #gamedev

Did they intend to create an #F1 track that races like Monaco without the prestige?

For learning, you dump memory, change something, dump memory, examine for changes. You'll sometimes get hundreds of things that changed and you have to eliminate those down to find the right thing. It doesn't just 'give you' a track map, but gives enough data to code one in the tool. #gamedev

I've been wanting to stream myself doing a full Indy 500 in this retro sim for a long time, but wanted to build a tool that would allow me to do it more effectively. So I have. #simracing #retrogaming

So, er, life update.

I just quit the sim racing industry after 21 years. Instead, I will be working full-time on RSC thanks to sponsorship from SimCraft. Thank you to them, and thank you for those of you following, commenting and more. #simracing #retrogaming #ad youtu.be/qgvT2uhWijo

I don't know how much time I will have to put into it over the next couple of months, but... #gamedev youtu.be/X_F7NlGYjXo

I’ve wanted to setup stations to have PCs displayed and ready to play for a really long time. Still lots to do, but you can see the direction. And no i have a lot more in the basement … #retrogaming #dosgaming

Just had a potentially life changing phone call. Opportunity I’ve looked for since 1998.

And he accepted it because he feels he deserves it. Let that sink in.

EA’s CEO got an $8 million raise thanks to how well Battlefield 6 performed — four months after the devs responsible for making the game got laid off. https://bit.ly/4yOMvb5

This database of information was very valuable to me when we started the process of trying to help my youngest daughter. Finding out about others with the same microdeletion told us what kind of life and challenges we could expect for her. Great resource.

“We never imagined that many other patients would share the same syndrome.” After years without answers, one family received a diagnosis of #ReBUsyndrome and found connection, support, and a global community through Unique Read their story here: https://ow.ly/xLmX50ZtKnh and share yours below.

We just had a tornado. We’re ok. Lots of big branches down and we’re running on a generator. Others on our street lost more trees and property from them falling than us. We will be a while without mains power.

I don’t think I understand #F1 rules anymore. Leave a cars width and make contact in a committed corner-penalty. Drift over and take a cars width away, with contact-no penalty.

My parents would sit with me for hours and hours typing code from magazines into our computers and trying to help me understand what they didn't. Although I let what *I* think of as coding go away, I did find it easy to teach myself HTML, CSS, PHP which led to my career through the Web site I made.

Has anyone else noticed that the ZX81 manual casually introduces arrays, FOR-NEXT loops, and conditional branching within the first 30 pages, as though teaching structured programming to nine-year-olds is a perfectly normal thing to do on a Tuesday? Because it worked. And nobody has apologised.

This has timestamps. Dogfight with a pirate under attack from all angles and in mostly 'flee' mode. #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=o67b...

Planning a summer road trip? 🚗 You should play Overland, our turn-based survival game about a group of travelers on a post-apocalyptic trip across the United States! 🪓 It's good to be prepared for anything.
