Wow, Blippo+ is pretty amazing.

I really recommend Blippo+ - it lands the absurd alien tone its going for, has some great earworms, and emulates that bygone channel hopping sensation wonderfully (while never feeling overwhelming with the amount of shows 'required' to follow the story). And A++++ for having a Teletext mode.

🎉 I found that if I prop it up just right, with a certain charger, I'm able to charge my laptop. Anyway, I made an #LDJam post. Letting it juice up some more before I edit other things for the event. Theme Suggestions open. ldjam.com

Made some really good progress on my Behavior Tree planning tool!!!!! Figured out node positioning logic, edges, and added camera pan/zoom feature... Next step is adding the ability to remove nodes from the tree. Really jazzed about how this is visually looking.... #gamedev #indiedev

Day 2: Catching fish is so back ✅ Minimal save state ✅ Minimal bucket inventory ✅ Logic for rods and water types for chances of catching different fish This @fishingwithkenny.bsky.social demo was done using a “Training Rod” which is fastest 👇 Game slot chooser and save button up next…

I've just refactored my Behavior Tree library that works with ExcaliburJS, I'm now pivoting to developing some tooling to make building the 'content' of an entity's BT, and make this 'easy' to scaffold up with some code generation #gamedev #indiedev #ExcaliburJS gratuitous cute kitty gif here --->

🎣 First day of my two weeks off… I got A LOT of @fishingwithkenny.bsky.social rewritten using @excaliburjs 😁 I’m moving much faster in a familiar environment and benefit from using Cursor 💪 I can also easily deploy my main branch to Netlify 🚢 Up next… inventory 🎒

This week on the pod @kamranicus.com and @erikonarheim.com try to dissect the complex landscape of JavaScript and @typescriptlang.org compilers, transpilers, interpreters, engines, and runtimes (oh my!). Why should you care about as a TS developer? typescript.fm/5 #javascript #typescript
