Got a nice dog and retro gaming hobby with a little C++ gamedev mixed in. Working on a 90's retro style WWII flight sim. That’s what you’ll see here.

Turns out the lighting on the day-night cycle was totally broken - since 2023! Well, better fix it late than never. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #flightsim #ww2 #wwii #retrogaming #screenshotsaturday

Big Milestone - generated a simple random mission, with all the plumbing in place. Still missing air defenses and CAPs, but it is a proper mission based on user-provided parameters. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #flightsim #ww2 #wwii #retrogaming

Excellent read for the season and time we live in. "Regney and Shayne penned the song as a call for peace during [the Cuban missile crisis]. The song’s message was so poignant that the pair had difficulty singing through it without crying." thebulletin.org/2022/12/do-y...

Many thanks @siegelordex.bsky.social for helping me with my Allegro issues! I can now do anti-aliasing, and even got a nice FPS boost for very little work. I've been using Allegro since it was DOS only in 1995, turns out I still have a couple tricks to learn! #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Lots of back and forth trying to decide how to show the current campaign state. Landed on this text heavy version which looks a bit like period film titles. #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #retrogaming #screenshotsaturday

Not feeling great this week, so no code. But I did realize in a WWII game you need to be able to blow up Nazi generals, so I added an actor for that purpose. #indiedev #solodev #ww2 #retrogaming #flightsim #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

September all work stalled due to other priorities, but I am back in the saddle. What does every WWII game need? Halftracks of course! Added the SDKfz 215 in two versions, and a new MG42 turret to add some spicy targets and adversaries. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #flightsim
