<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.

    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...

    @toerror It&#39;s entirely unclear to me from this leaked snippet if they mean your revenue or revenue derived from Unity. Whatever &quot;Made with Unity gross revenue for previous year&quot; means I guess...

    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.
