My brain: "2 pm is almost 3, 3 is almost 4, and 4 is almost 5, so it's almost time to go home, nice."
Also my brain: "but if that's true then what about 1 pm?"
"Nah, 2 is nowhere close to 1"
"1:30?"
"still nope."
"huh."

In today's #gamedev report, I've resigned myself to the fact that there doesn't appear to be an easy way to put together a save system, and I am buckling down to learn about writing to file, and then actually coding the whole messy thing. I threw together a quick and dirty system...

Another #gamedev update! Most recently, i realized that I did not actually have an unequip button coded. So... I added one. This was a bit more complicated than you might think, as i've been coding this from scratch in [language redacted to avoid people inevitably critiquing my choice]...

Oof, already been over 2 weeks since my last #gamedev post.
What have I been working on since then? Clouds. I've really only done bits and pieces recently, but i'm happy to now have clouds that dynamically decay, spread, and impact vision. Probably going to use it for certain insect swarms as well.

Haven't been doing a ton of #gamedev these past few days, but I have worked a bit on my spotting/IDing system. The ID game is a pretty important part of roguelikes, and i've been working on a rather complex system to handle it, involving separate spotting and knowledge checks...

Continuing my #gamedev updates, last night i just spent a bit of time statting out some of my creatures. I honestly find this to be one of the more difficult aspects I've worked on, because it involves a confluence of multiple design decisions that require a degree of concreteness for all of them...

I've been working on a game for years as a hobby, and i figured I'd start sharing bits of progress as a way to engage online and maybe encourage me to work on it more. If i ever get close to finishing it, I'll write more about broader concepts, but in short, it's a classical roguelike.

I think one of the key appeals of voting is that it's the only time it's broadly acceptable to go around rocking a 'good job' sticker like you're back in elementary school

on the off-chance someone actually sees this, there was a post i saw on here the other day that showed suv/truck sales vs pedestrian deaths for a variety of countries--anyone have it saved?
