Got a nice dog and retro gaming hobby with a little C++ gamedev mixed in. Working on a 90's retro style WWII flight sim. That’s what you’ll see here. http://rabbitengineering.com

Summer fit check #corgi

Working on the map this weekend. There are already 500 cities and points of interest, need to bump that up as there are still lots of boring open areas. It's 2.5D, starts with a landclass bitmap, a heightmap, a bunch of data layers and presto. #flightsim #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #retrogaming

Time for some relaxing #gamedev Heap corruption on delete? It's not consistent? Debugger won't let me trap it? 100 printfs and 3 hours later, got it down using the wrong variable as an index to an array during load - the fix is changing a single character. #indiedev #solodev

#throwbackthursday Two years ago Lulu making sure we knew she was leaving it when we ask her to leave it. #corgicrew

i found the root cause of the F/A-18s falling into the sea

Adding Paris landmarks! Although the map is algorithmically generated, you can manually place overlays to set points of interest at the right places #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #flightsim

Remembering VE Day. #flightsim #retrogaming #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #wwii

Been improving the map generation. It uses base data for landclass, heightmap and POI placement, but procedural placement of trees and buildings. #indiedev #solodev #flightsim #gamedev

What better way to celebrate #420 than to shoot up some Nazis! Enjoy this 4 minute supercut of the luftwaffe having a day day. #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #flightsim #retro #ww2 youtu.be/5RduJ5wfheg

Me410 complete! I may have to tweak the flight model, it is a bit too difficult to beat. #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #flightsim #retro #ww2

@pattonoswalt.bsky.social does the best Easter Egg bit ever done, still gets me after 20 years #happyeaster youtu.be/YYiLb_gcLEw?...

Adding another bad guy #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #retro #flightsim #ww2

Eivor managed to recreate it 😂😂 #CorgiCrew

Targets you have seen now appear on the nav map. There is also a player assist to remove fog of war that shows them all from the start of the mission. #solodev #indiedev #indiegame

Load testing today - huge furball, 84 fighters at the same time over a city (Amsterdam). No perf drop, the bottleneck is with rendering the scene, not with AI perf, so that's a big relief! Very chaotic and fun #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #retrogaming #flightsim

When creating a profile you can now select a nose art decal for your Mosquito #solodev #indiedev #flightsim

After five years of reading, researching, and modelling inside and out the De Havilland Mosquito for my #indiegame , it was very uncanny and oddly emotional to see one in beautiful condition in person at the Flying Heritage museum in Everett. #retrogaming #history
