Yep. The keyboard settings do support XBox One Controller buttons. I've been working on Steam Deck support and, while the game is playable the controls are not as smooth as I'd like. Controller support is still definitely a work in progress.

So we're less the a week from feature complete on our EA release. I may not be the poster child for sensible project choices but it, if you take it on, the end is out there to be found. 😀

Is that where you keep your Elden Ring Chickens?

I've had a lot of fun playing our game. I think one of the core requirements of a procedural sandbox game is to have plenty of surprises for the developer. That bar is a lot harder to achieve in more linear crafted experience.

I feel sorry for the poor soul who steals our idea.

Yeah. Just messing around with the Next Fest charts and you can create all kinds of ridiculous filters. Its reading tea leaves to see how we're doing before we get real wishlist numbers tomorrow morning.

Brewing coffee at home is one of my main joys in life and I now walk through a local park on my way to the store which makes it something I look forward to. Carrying a grocery bag back is not ideal but it is still far better than driving.

I spent a couple years at Apple working on an improvements to ePub for textbook publishing. Apple still supports that work in some form but, while those extensions were all intended to be added to the open standard, it is really hard to get industry adoption.

Good luck! I am stressed enough rolling out builds for streamers. I can only imagine.

The 90s and 2000s were, I think, a unique time in the history of technology which spawned an enormous industry of venture capital which has now, largely, out-lived its usefulness and is desperately trying to justify its existence by selling snake oil.

Is see your wish to have only followers see your posts as a wish to have your words read in a broader context. Certainly a completely valid wish but taking things out of context is one of the main weapons of trolls and pedants--I doubt they will be so easily denied.

There's a wide variety of interpretations out there for "things going on in the world" from "carefully done experiment" to "this conspiracy theory I just picked up on Facebook." I know what you meant in the broader context of your work, but those words don't stand well on their own.

Can't they be both? SNAFU.

Indeed. Never forget The Importance of Being Earnest.

The backwards tutorial: a new kind of puzzle game that tells you how to do things after you've figured them out for yourself.

If I want the layout to be regular that is what I do but, if I want a cluttered pile, I find I get better results by dropping a bunch of instances in a box using a physics simulation.

Yep. That was the trick. Thanks!

I do the same thing in blender by simulating and then baking onto a quad. I'll often make 9 copies of the result of my simulation, arrange them in a tic-tac-toe grid, and bake out a periodic texture.

I've tried a number of times and never gotten the labeler to respond to my chat. Am I missing a step in the process?

We will. Released the demo Feb 2024 with the original idea of a June Next Fest but then pulled out to have more time to polish it. We're looking good for Feb 2025.
