Join us for an #IndieWeb Create Day on July 5, 2025! Hang out virtually in the Zoom and in the chat--work on your personal website, write, share ideas, code, get inspired! https://events.indieweb.org/2025/07/indieweb-create-day-3q2PTCbGioi9
Questions? @ me.
Time for an updated #introduction 👋
My name is Fletch, and I make stuff! Online you'll primarily see me do low-stakes #GameDevelopment. 🎮
I am a full-time #WebDeveloper. I also work part-time for #DevolverDigital writing silly #Discord bots. 🖥️
With the rest of my time, I stream on #Twitch; you'll find me making or playing games! 📷
I love to share the joy of game development, and we have lots of fun while doing so. Here's a clip from a recent stream. ✨
Hoping to meet some new friends here! ❤️
#introduction
Hiya I'm Ben and I'm a software developer in the UK. I like running and climbing. I mod gameboys. I like to do hobby coding when I can and have made an indie game called Substream which is something like a musical Starfox.
I'm lucky to have had a varied career so far, working in professional games development, then graphics for industrial simulators, teaching at a University, back-end development for apps, and now coding specialized scientific equipment.
Finally! Here's a video of the gameplay of level 1* of Super Bunny Hoppers (thanks to OBS under X.org and KDEnlive ^^)
Ironed out some tiny issues this morning, and now it's fully usable with a controller too 😊 Really good feeling to play this on the Steamdeck 👍
* of 2 😅
I gotta say, I really enjoy running into bugs during game development, way more funny than what I usually run into when working on OctoPrint ^^
And with that, good night for now.
In the end I managed to fix this hilarious bug and finish another game, this time a pong clone (what a surprise). Code and SFX by me, graphics provided by my partner, music a CC0 Synthwave song called Flux Capacitor found online.
Used the physics engine and also played a bit with 2D lighting. Might return to this to play around a bit more with gameplay adjustments ^^
Still struggling with syncing issues when recording these, excuse the small sfx delay please.
It may not look like much, it's in fact only the @godotengine 2d game tutorial "Dodge the Creeps", but hey, I wrote(-ish) a first game in Godot (and apart from a GLUT based Snake clone in university also my first game ever) AND got it exported and running on the #SteamDeck, in just under 2h!
Started working on a photography website the other day 
I deployed my dev branch, so it’s possible to follow along with my progress at:
https://photography.fossheim.io
Currently there’s not a whole lot of photography to see yet (besides alt text), but 11ty and Sanity are connected and so far I can: upload pictures, tag them with my own metadata, add them to albums, access their exif data and colors.
Expect it to look shit for a while longer though, doing behind the scenes work first
There was this white dude saying: “Name one thing your country does that Japan can’t do better.”
To be fair, Japan COULD do better, it just chooses not to.
