Every Thursday, Waffling slightly less because I'm exhausted and it's been a stupidly long week.

Hello World


Oh boy, what a week.
A neighbour a couple of doors down passed away, this week, leading to my Mum and the neighbour at number 1 having to once again head around the street, asking for donations to put towards the family.
I'm not sure there'll be a horse and cart involved, this time.
We all stood outside on our doorsteps for the funeral a few weeks ago, but one neighbour vanished indoors as soon as the horse and cart appeared on the street. It later turned out that her mother had been taken in the same cart.

Goodness knows what might happen this time.
The street mourns, once again.

Afr0 has struggles scaling screen elements to different resolutions.
Scaling, shifting and more, all tricky stuff if you haven't had to handle it before.
What are your favourite techniques to ensure the view is intact?

Going for Gold

Rychan continues to tweak and fix up the last few bits and pieces of his Flap Happy game, before finalising it and going gold!
Will it be perfect!?
Yes. Yes it will.

Plussy Walls

Pakz has been reading up on more graphical techniques and finds a nice way to create tilemap-ready dungeon walls, by simply drawing a plus!
Man, that's SO much simpler than my usual technique.

Still Minimal

Jay's been working on his scripting engine for a whole month. Considering he makes an average of 2 games a week, now, he's not exactly rushing this project.
Slow, and methodical. .. And maybe a bit too slow.
Come on, Jay. Kick it up a gear!

Faces

Pakz discovers a site that sells "pixel" faces.
They look more like generic AI made portraits, but with a pixel filter over them.

PS5 or Not?

Jay finally decides he'll probably go for a PS5, and so starts looking on Amazon.
.. Oh.

Waste of Money

What have you paid for, but ultimately regretted doing so?

Andy hasn't posted any photos of his cats...!!!!

In general, anything that you haven't specifically bought for them.
