Can you imagine releasing you game on THREE TAPES. The patience you used to need to play roguelikes. #roguelike #retrogaming

Working on automatically generating realistic flight paths. Close, not quite there. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #retrogaming #fligthsim #indiedev

Having a walk before it gets too hot #corgicrew #corgi

Get a game state to do mission brief and arming now! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #retrogaming #fligthsim #indiedev

The ultimate #gamedev notebook.

Thanks to discovering macros in Audacity, I now have 7 different voices for the radio, which helps with telling apart your voice from that of your wingmen and ground control. You can now pick the voice you want when creating a profile #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #flightsim

Action sequence! #corgi #corgicrew #corgilife

Well, one of the Azure services I work on implements this for CoDBlOps. Does that make me a AAA dev now?

The laziness cycle. #corgi #corgicrew

Heavy week at work so not much #gamedev happened. Managed to finish the Condor and close a couple bugs. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #solodev #flightsim #retrogame

Stop taking pictures dad #corgicrew #corgi

#screenshotsaturday ahead of schedule - been a rough week, trying to give it a good send off by adding a new bad guy and some Black Sabbath #indiedev #solodev #flightsim #indiegame

More testing, added something like a photo mode and got some nice pics for #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #retrogaming #flightsim #ww2

Flight testing today. Amazing how so many bugs still remain after years of tweaking the same code! #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #flightsim

Seattle is the spot to be if you're an #avgeek. Took these two shots in the same week (Museum of Flight and Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum)

NEW COMIC! Holding Pattern Lulu really does love the water. It’s the heights that concern her. As usual Lulu would love a like, comment, and share if you can spare it. Fan art is always welcome too! #daniandlulucomic

Added a dark color pointer to be less jarring, and also the tooltip now tells you what the hotkey/input is for that switch #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #retrogaming

Improving the cockpit, and working on environment lighting #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #flightsim #ww2

Volume up! Spirit of ‘76 is alive in Redmond

Added hints to the panels for accessibility and to make it easier to learn the game. Mouse over a switch/instrument and you get a label of what it is/does. If it is usable, you can click it directly (no need to memorize all the keys) #indiedev #solodev #flightsim #indiegame #flightsim #ww2

Look at this little sleeping guy

Adding actors to the historically correct spots today. It's super fun to see the world shape up #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #retrogaming #flightsim #ww2 #wwii

Nap time #corgicrew

Added radars today - still deciding how big a role electronic warfare will play in the game. #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #ww2 #flightsim #retrogaming

Squashing bugs this weekend, but it's getting harder to concentrate on my silly little virtual war with all the real ones going on #indiedev #solodev #flightsim #indiegame #retrogaming

Finished adding detail to the map. Now includes a little over 700 towns, cities and points of interest. Left is before, right is after #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #flightsim

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

Time for some relaxing #gamedev Why are the buildings not appearing in the world? Rendering issue? Map generation issue? 3D model parsing issue? Frustum culling planes inverted? Four hours later: oh, the function that loads the buildings is commented out. #indiedev #solodev

Time for some relaxing #gamedev. Oh shoot it works on the dev pc but not the test pc - how could this get any worse? Oh there is the bug, in a blob of multithreaded code, that’s how

If you know airplanes, you know Ed Heinemann. I accidentally found he has a biography, which is pure gold. Highly recommended

Lulu has a tooth extracted so was not allowed to play with her chew toys for two weeks. As soon as the purgatory was done she carefully picked out her favorite fish and gave it a workout

You know what I haven't done in a while? A starter pack. I have 5 starter packs for solo devs. go.bsky.app/J9yPvq8 go.bsky.app/GVJ31Ju go.bsky.app/Fh2ra2T go.bsky.app/NZU2h86 go.bsky.app/SBG6VaU Let me know if you want added and please check if you're already on one. #indiegamedev #solodev

Ok time for some relaxing #gamedev. Project won't build. What is going on. Code signing cert expired. One hour of Powershell hairpulling ensues. The number of the beast is not 666, it's X509.

The basement.
