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!

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 have two contracts wrapping up in November! If you're looking for game dev support around production, operations, publishing, and more, get in touch! I have nearly a decade of industry experience in PC and console, and have worked with teams big and small on all genres! heyitsdora.com

“Dora has been an INCREDIBLE producer for In Stars and Time!!! Always organized and strategic, always helpful, always a pleasure to talk to. I could not have asked for a better producer, and In Stars and Time wouldn’t have had the same success without her!!!”

“Dora is one of the kindest, coolest, most organized and thoughtful producers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I genuinely believe that without her fighting for us from the very first email pitch, Bear and Breakfast would not have existed.”
