Already changed up the demo, I removed the Round Restriction so that you can play through all 50 rounds (and more), but still no Meta Upgrades or Challenges.
Maybe that will be just the right amount of tease. Much testing to be done.

Finally cleaned 2 years of dust and cobwebs from my build scripts and uploaded a *test* build of MewnBase 1.0.2 to Steam ("testing" beta channel) and itch.io (zips tagged "unstable")
Mostly crash/bug fixes but also lets you pin a crafting recipe to the HUD. cairn4.itch.io/mewnbase

First attempt at a DIY wooden eurorack sidecar/overflow case is finally "done" and ready for some modules 🥳. Next time would go with thinner wood to cut down on weight, 3/4" maple is pretty heavy. Drilled holes... mostly line up haha.

Opened java MewnBase for the first time in a while. Dusting off cobwebs, trying to wrap up some old bug fixes that had never gone out in a build... but got sidetracked play-testing and decided for *some reason* that being able to pin a recipe to the HUD was something I needed to add? 😆 #gamedev

Designed and laser cut some Star Trek TNG-styled lamp shade panels last night for my old IKEA light. Pretty snug and held together with barely enough glue, but still really happy with how it came out 😄

Soooo... I'm creating a graph-based modular synthesizer in Godot for fun and the results are nice so far! There's still a lot to add, but it's shaping up nicely! I'll probably open-source it when I'm happy with the results and UX is not shit. #GodotEngine #synthesizer

wasn't impressed by the generic, unimaginative printed paper book covers and posters in this model kit lol. "Book", "Garden Time", "G/Jarden"? 🤔
... so printed some new ones, and a tiny copy of the NIN poster that's been hanging in my office forever
