A prototype for a future racing game

Lately I've been coding so hard at the day job that I've had no energy left for game dev. But there's a Dreamcast game jam coming up and I need to get normal mapping into Simulant before that.

Need coffee.

You know you're Yak Shaving when you find yourself installing Windows 98 in a virtual machine for gamedev research purposes.
I'm back here again, as the bird site continues to disappoint...

Driving Strikers is my SEGA Dreamcast indie game that was released in July.

It's available physically from Wave Game Studios: https://www.wavegamestudios.com/shop/driving-strikers

It's the first indie Dreamcast game with online multiplayer, and cross-play with the Steam version.

Today I released a mini version of the game on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.realityjump.strikers

It's also been shortlisted for the Retro World Award in the DEBUG Indie Awards! :)

I've been debugging the weirdest issue in @simulant for 3 days now.

For some reason, on a single menu of my game, the whole screen goes black when drawing "one too many" widgets. But only on the GL2 renderer...

I still have no idea why that's the trigger, but I've managed to determine (using Renderdoc) that the black screen is a result of all textures becoming unbound.

After that I discovered that the issue is some ref-counted data incorrectly being freed.

More debugging tomorrow! #gamedev

@djlink I have never seen any re-runs of Sliders, and I still think about that scene with the gate often!
