Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water, but it’s not too bad at least it isn’t when compared to what it feels like to be hanging around a bunch of game devs acting like you belong when you have to admit you don’t know wtf Hollow Knights is.

Having to put a bandaid on your TouchID finger....

To ensure gf64's legacy will live on I have archived his projects that were only given by Dropbox. If you have any that are not included please let me know and I will add them. For Nikona I didn't include that but linked his GitHub page - archive.org/details/gf64...

I’ve started creating these distraction projects in other facets of my life which is why last week my wife and I both could park our cars the in the garage and why this week one of them has light hail damage.

That was almost nasty. Mild set back with my game this morning because I didn’t catch that Simulant was LGPL licensed. Luckily I wasn’t too far down the rabbit hole but I need to reconsider a few things I’d planned on for the extra work I need to do. #Dreamcast #GameDev #IndieDev

For those in the back: A Discord server is not a suitable, desired, or adequate replace for documentation.

Took a small break from the #Dreamcast to setup a public AOL Instant Messenger server. I wrote a sign up, download, configure wizard and put it up on aimserver.io. The backend is powered by the incredible RAS server (github.com/mk6i/retro-a...) project. I wrote the form in Vue/Node. #retrocomputing

Draw a cube, convert the cube to vertex data, get all fucked up with projection matrices for an hour, read docs, find that KOS will do the hard part, and finally have a 30 second demo to show for your 4.5 hours of effort. ...still better than my last desk job. ☺️ #dreamcast #gamedev #indiedev

hey look at me go

Oh! I had the camera backwards and was "hanging" it from the object I was trying to point it at. I am not intuitive.

I moved the camera and now the renders are just blank ohgodI hategraphics

I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing and have no business doing it. #gamedev #indiedev #dreamcast

For something a little different, here's a shot of the Smokies (Overlooking Cedar Bluff) taken from my drone this afternoon. #knoxville

Cliched or not at this point, “Easy to understand, difficult to master” really does seem to be the path forward for me and my #gamedev experience.

Of all the two player activities, we found “shooting” to be the most fun simply because it was the only one that made sense without any direction. The “race” and “hunting” ones both were over our heads. (2/2)

Seeing as I’ve never much been into games more than casually and I find myself trying to design one, I set up the Dreamcast in my 4 y/o’s room and popped in Sonic Adv. 2 (1/2)

I should have probably started with this, but: My Dreamcast now holds the time and date between boots. Nothing like burning a CDR, go to test it, and having the goddamn date/time thing show up.

Something is wrong with my chicken.

I think I have sorted out the timezone error in shortcuts and should now be able to post with a keyboard shortcut.

After some messing around yesterday, I couldn't find a reason that this project for the #dreamcast shouldn't have a chat function that uses the dreamcast keyboard nor any reason to not use OSCAR, the protocol used by AOL Instant Messenger, powered by github.com/mk6i/retro-a...

I started this project without an idea, etc. I'm just learning what I can make the #Dreamcast do. So far, I have a controllable, stationary camera in 3D space that loads an asteroid field, bkgrnd music, fonts, menu, and networking (BBA) that loads a msg from a server (XML). #Homebrew #GameDev #Sega

I needed a space to share updates on the projects I'm working on instead of flooding the discord servers I'm a member of. For the foreseeable future, I'll be posting about my #Sega #Dreamcast #homebrew project.
