Getting back into gamedev after a 10+ year hiatus. Professional data and software geek when employed. Interested in cheering on peoples projects, possibly sharing my own, and talking to human beings!
I'm a married person with cats who is passionate about human welfare, kindness, and conservation. LGBTQIA+ ally. I used to be a scientist but it didn't pay the bills. If you need a geek for a nonprofit or team of nice enough people let me know!

Continuing on for anyone following along. Previously you may have seen my map editor being a classic tile editor. Well my game engine is both tile and not tile based. As such I need the ability to make some assets that don't snap perfectly to a grid and have unique bounding boxes (among other things). So here is my first pass at that! Warning: some game art has been made.
Still so much to do on the tooling let alone the engine. But progress is progress!
After a week of looking for work and hammering on this on the side I am almost done with my Layer 0 map editor. A few ergonomics tweaks and I can thankfully move on to the Layer 1 + asset editor.
It's kind of fun. I added a toggle view to display tiles characters can walk through vs ones they cannot as red/green. The performance is decent. Good enough!

Somehow I crammed a first pass at my layer 0 map editor into one 6hr session. Don't ask about the tile set or the awful tree, its some random thing I found online and isn't my artwork. Unbelievable amount of work to do still even for internal tools. At least ctrl + z works. Here we go I guess!
