A little nervous to do this but I don’t see too much #bevy content so I thought I would shoot my shot.

I’ve been working on a factory game written in #rust with #bevy and I recently hit a big milestone (aka now on steam)

If anyone’s interested in #indiedev dev logs I have a rss/atom feed. This weeks is mostly about art, but I normally talk about ECS woes and the pain of programmatic terrain generation. This is my first “large scale” game so it’s a mixed bag.

Exofactory

Exofactory is a indie factory game that explores the id and ego. As you build your factory the story unravels based on how you build your factory. Available to wishlist on Steam now.

Some time ago I worked in a "data-driven company". And they would say - why are you so grumpy, you are mathematician, you should enjoy that we base our decisions on numbers! These must be right decisions then, because Math!!

While I was in a constant state of facepalm, because no-no-no, you can not blame numbers for your complete lack of understanding that you need a context, a model, and a theory to interpret them.

It makes me laugh/cry that we spent decades trying to get the software industry to internalise that it takes far more effort to support & maintain systems than it does to write them in the first place, and yet seemingly every trendy development in the last 5-10 years has been about making that initial stage faster & sloppier at the expense of everything else

So. I've been on field manual labor crews where most of my coworkers were convicts.

I've also worked with a lot of tech companies on automating farms.

And this press conference is incredible. Rollins hasn't the foggiest clue what she's on about.

Sometimes when I design icons they come out looking inconsistent in style. How do I fix that? Glad you asked! #gameassets #design

NDA Expired - let's spill the beans on a weird startup

Many moons ago, when I was very young and you were even younger...

London was in full bloom of tech-startups. I was running my own consultancy. Dashing from business to business, trying to pick up work as an expert in this new-fangled "Mobile Internet" thing. Some of the companies I worked with were great […]

NDA Expired - let's spill the beans on a weird startup

Many moons ago, when I was very young and you were even younger... London was in full bloom of tech-startups. I was running my own consultancy. Dashing from business to business, trying to pick up work as an expert in this new-fangled "Mobile Internet" thing. Some of the companies I worked with were great. Some of them went bust. And some were... just... ew! Digging through a box of files…

I've been on a bit of a docs kick for #bevy recently; the words have been flowing smoothly and I'm feeling an urge to teach :D Today's work was a fairly opinionated page on project structure and organization in #rust.

Toss me a review? Beginner feedback very welcome! https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/2185

How do you tell someone that the rule of law in the behemoth on your doorstep is clinging for dear life? That the media has bowed the knee? That they're building concentration camps? That they've funded a secret police? That you worry they might actually decide to invade your country on a whim? That you fear for the safety of your family and friends? That there may not be another free election in America? That no one in power is *doing* anything?

I don't know what to do. I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how to fix this.

But I do know that we *have* to reach the good-hearted, out-of-touch, apolitical masses: people like Ann. It feels so cruel, but yet...

It's not just about convincing them of the righteousness of the cause-de-jour, or getting them to vote and sign your petition. These people need to know and understand what's happening, because their lives and their businesses depend on it.
