Psst in case you missed it DeadOS was on PC Gamer: www.pcgamer.com/games/horror...

I feel like she, specifically, should know better

Here's a fun read for the weekend. I spoke to @bennpowell.bsky.social about his zombie outbreak simulator DeadOS, and it turns out the best way to survive a zombie apocalypse is to be a massive coward with a gun. www.pcgamer.com/games/horror...

Oh wow some nerd put all their games and crap on sale! itch.io/s/191307/sum...

Version 0.41.0 of DeadOS is now live! Added an in-game city editor! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

Did a weird little shader experiment that adds every rendered frame together and averages them. Has very interesting results depending on the content

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're not a lazy procrastinator, you just have debilitating anxiety problems

Version 0.40.1 of DeadOS is now live! Bug fixes and changes to how civilians pickup dropped weapons / ammo: store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

The reason why Motion Blur is off by default in Unreal's viewport settings is because people want to see what they are doing, and that's why I want it off in my game also. Motion blur is a artistic tool to be used at the right times, not something to turn on by default because "it looks better"

Version 0.40.0 of DeadOS is now live! Added proc-gen inner city park areas for civilians to play in and flee to / from! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

Version 0.39.0 of DeadOS is now live! Zombies are now attracted to loud noises over increasing distances! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

Working on a system for large noises like gunfire to attract zombies from a distance. I think it's going to be a game changer.

The would barely know any other game devs if it wasn't for Ludum Dare. Sad to see it go.

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

Uploaded a small visual bug fix with rivers when viewed on multiple height layers. Now we can have nice screenshots of the city with rivers! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Version 0.37.0 of DeadOS is now live! Added procedurally generated RIVERS! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

The least Valve could do is to reduce their rate in the first 100k revenue or something, to give small studios with their first titles a fighting chance to maybe make their second game. I swear even Valve would make more money this way.

Progress update on adding rivers, the logic is in but the visuals are going to take a bit longer. Probably going to have to add some kind of railing system but let's do things step at a time.

Thinking about rivers.

Version 0.36.1 of DeadOS is live with the first update of the new year! Survivors will go to their homes/workplaces to try and survive an outbreak: store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

Number crunching: Pay and dividends of Bet365 chief executive v total fiscal cost of gambling-related harm. From the new Private Eye, out now.

What if instead of fixing the bugs in the shader code I just make it worse instead and call it a feature?

Playing around with a line drawn-esque shader effect.

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand. This is a shambolic dereliction of duty. I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

water study for day 28 / ripple #nodevember2025

Version 0.36.0 of DeadOS is now live! Added a new startup screen and tweaked existing screens to help beginners learn how the game works: store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

Version 0.35.2 of DeadOS is now live! Civilians now report dead bodies to the cops and will lead them to the dead (before they start getting up at least): store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
