This doesn't happen so much anymore... but hey... application... if you don't have focus don't try and steal it. Whatever is going on, it's not that important unless I say so :)

I messed around a bit with UEFN this weekend. Behold my Duck racing track! The tooling is really nice. I would have *loved* something like UEFN when I was a kid.

Thinking back to my teens I had one thing I made go viral, though just within the sixth form college I was at. It was a fruit / slot machine written in Turbo Pascal. It was a bit X-Files themed so "X-Fruits" All records of that have disappeared with time of course. Cool to remember though :)

The #demoscene always fascinated me growing up in the 80s & 90s when I had a C64 & Amiga. I wasn't allowed a modem, so only saw disks that people swapped in the playground. It'd have been wonderful to have had a mentor in my teens for this stuff. The internet has made those connections easier :)

Not for the first time, I really, really wish Slack had a way of hiding / muting messages like gmail does. So you can stay in a channel, just not have to read a message over and over until it scrolls off.

About 15 years since Fable II was first on the shelves in London. Yikes! Happy Fable II release week :) web.archive.org/web/20081024...

It is difficult to make a career in games. You make the best choices you can with the information you have. I hope those who have lost their jobs find a little space to grieve. If you have lost faith in yourself I hope you find it again soon. You are more than your job. May your next job be kinder.

Today I Learned that while using Windows Task Manager and sorting by CPU (for example), you can freeze the list by holding down the ctrl key... so you don't have to chase around that process to click. #dev #gamedev

I'm trying out Logseq (https://logseq.com) to see if it beats out draft-never-to-be-sent-emails for keeping notes and being searchable. It stores things in markdown and can auto-commit to git, so it's revision controlled. I've used OneNote and other things in the past. Be interesting if this sticks!

I'm on twitter over here https://twitter.com/paulecoyote @jason.maltzen.org kindly shared an invitation so I could see what bsky is all about. I've not been tweeting / tooting / whatever that often. When I do it's probably game related in someway... or some attempt at art.

Hey I'm Paul. I started programming when I wasn't even at school yet via books you typed in to make games on 8bit micros, which were a thing in the UK. I always wanted to be a game developer and through luck & work I managed that. My first AAA game was Fable II. I'm married, a dad now & moved to TX.
