Ppl always be like "games shouldn't be political" and then I look at Half Life 2 and the "Civil Protection" units & then I look at ICE and I'm like Hm. Makes you think.

Don't know what I did to get blessed by the silver ball recently, but this morning a Bally's Captain Fantastic from 1976 landed in the #arcade! An old friend in the business had acquired it in some trade years ago, they don't do pinball and ask me for some video game PCBs in exchange for it.

recreating a C function from StarFox64 in GDscript by porting and modding a C# function from Unity's math.f library my brain hurts

Been working on various different n64 styled visuals as well as trying to make things as performant as possible

Discovered last night that both the StarFox64 PC port and my game can run at the same time, then found a little app that can make a window transparent so I could overlay the two! Barring looking at the original code itself, this should hopefully help me nail down getting the feel right. #indiedev

oh god, it's 2am I severely underestimated the complexity of StarFox64's camera and how difficult it'd be to replicate lmao

Wrecking Crew's marquees arrived! These were fun to design. I really like that squiggly artstyle Nintendo was using at the time; it's easy to revectorize and draw. #arcade

Just learned about LPD (Laser Phosphor Display) monitors. They're essentially CRTs but with lasers instead of electron beams; meaning no need for a leaded lined vacuum tube! ...The technology is patented by a single company who is uninterested in small commercial or consumer markets.

very happy to achieve two uninterrupted weeks of updates on both of my game's code bases :3 sure there aren't always multiple updates a day or big humongous updates, but each one means at least some amount of forward progress #indiedev

Didn't expect to pick up a #pinball today! It's a William's Tic-Tac-Toe from 1959. It's gonna need a hefty amount of work, but I'm looking forward to it!

If you've got one of the newer Unicos and the picture is all bouncy, try throwing a 330ohm resistor on the sync line. #arcade #repair

Got some time to chip away at this silly little Tetris-like! I've still got to add row (or in this case, column) clearing, then do a code cleanup, but after all that I wanna work on the UI. :3 #indiedev

After another day of refactoring, I think the Starfox-like is pretty shored up now. Not ready to move forward with new content just yet though; I wanna get into the player controller and really tune it up. That'll also give me some time to think about how level traversal is gonna work.

whoops, spent 2 hours writing a game design doc for this pinball idea. Got the theme, the core gimmick, as well as 2 supporting mechanics sorted. at least it's down on paper and out of my brain, time to get actually productive.

Parts arrived for Vs. Wrecking Crew! Two Video Inverter / Audio Amps from Mike's #Arcade. I'm still waiting on some special connectors, but let's go ahead and get the new boards installed. For that I insisted the calipers, Blender, and the 3Dprinter to design a simple mount.

dumb tired melatonin riddled brain thoughts: I kinda wanna design and build an electromechanical pinball single player to keep the relative complexity down, but it seems like the challenge would be fun

Paragon came down with a switch issue in the last hour of the day at the #arcade. Turned out to be a tarnished connector pin at A4J2-3 and it had taken out all the switches in that vertical group! A quick job with the clippers, strippers, and crimpers; the problem is now Para-gone with a new pin.

Slow day at the arcade; parts are in the mail, 3D print is busy, everything is working(for now). 'So, I fired up Godot and have been tinkering with another game idea, a simple one. It's a Tetris-like. 'Got a grid setup, as well as a way to program little startup animations.

Refactoring fun with the gamedev project today. It's always nerve-wracking to rip out old foundational code and clean it up, but thankfully it's been going smoothly. Looking forward to getting back implementing new stuff; there's really only a few areas left to work on before the first art pass.

Ms. Fire Queen got stage fright yesterday. She locked up about 2 hours in, then after performing a reset her bonus unit would take over and constantly advance. Today I spent some time hunting down the issue. cont. #Pinball #Repair
