I started climbing again earlier this year, and our girls absolutely love it, so we just built a rock wall at home!

Was a fun weekend project and the inspectors said we did a great job 😂

Hardest part was drilling the ~150 holes per board for the t-nuts.

Been having a ton of fun working on a p5 implementation of particle life.

Focus today was on performance and was able to 10x the number of particles it can render w/o dropping frames.

Going to keep experimenting with behavior and fix some issues like the clustering

Going to be joined by @connorlindsey.dev tomorrow on stream!

Let's see if we can get units and a turn system added to the game engine. 🤞

I'm setting up a chill book club to read the book and share projects starting in January. DM me for info!

Was skeptical but made cochinita pibil in an instant pot and it turned out so well 🤤 was surprisingly easy

Couldn't agree more. Picking guitar and piano back up after a long break has been nourishing in so many ways. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

It's also been amazing sharing music with our kids. Like every game jam we do, I incorporate a recording of our 5yo on uke/piano into a song

Introduce yourself with four video games

Interesting new Playdate podcast episode released wrapping up the story of how $400k worth of Playdates were stolen, then eventually returned. podcast.play.date/episodes/s01...

Going to have this on repeat today. Absolutely gorgeous music from Neva

Great night to log off and play some Colossi ✌️

Shoutout to @johnrudolphdrex.bsky.social for making a great game. Go get a copy at www.catacombian.com

Don't know why we even bother buying cat trees 😂

Might revisit this in the future and parameterize everything so it's easy to create N groups, but had fun messing around with it. Starting on a bigger project inspired by Heavy Weapon next 🪖

Sketched out a little Infinite Breakout for the Playdate

Love weird instruments like this 🤯 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjDz...

Happy Over the Garden Wall Day to all who celebrate 🐸

Neva is another amazing example of games as art.

Gorgeous art and music just like Gris. Also pleasantly surprised by the amount of additional depth to the gameplay.

Did not have taking apart the car door on my weekend bingo list, but the things you do for kids

Been learning about game dev over the last year and wrote up a mini retro (trying to break in the portfolio design). www.connorlindsey.dev/writing/lear...

Had a lot of fun and really excited to build a more substantial 'first' game next (and fingers crossed launch on Steam)!

Hey 👋 As a re-introduction, I'm Connor, a software developer in Seattle.

I work at Knock building notifications tooling for developers. I mostly work with React, TypeScript, and Elixir.

I'm a 3x girl dad and like tinkering on side projects, making games, and playing guitar and piano!
