GG. I've been struggling with repeated knockbacks this year, so it's been hard to get anywhere! This was yesterday (virtual).

The Lumo demo WIP went down well at Amiga Belfast today despite being bugged to flip. Might have sold a couple of 2umo as well :)
Also got talking with ex-Codies artist Johnathan Temples, who literally lives round the corner from me now!

Wasn’t able to test all the kit before today and I’m down to one machine. Cosy stand.

Was maybe going to get a train to Neuss or Cologne, but bailed and have spent the morning wandering around MGB. Saw some things. Looked for UK plug adapters because I’m an idiot. Got shouted at in German. Bought a Currywurst.
Now, a rest. Kann ich jetzt Kaffee finden?

I’m working on porting Lumo (2016) to actual #Amiga, an isometric arcade adventure game that calls back to retro itself coming full circle. Gameplay is well advanced with 300 rooms implemented, but only programmer graphics so far 🤣

Bit of a detour to port Lumo to Bartman's gcc14 so I could use the VSCode profiling tools. Found some yikes memcpy() stuff hiding in the collision system and dropped it from 80-90% of frame time to more like 60%.
I'll still use Bebbo's compiler as the codegen is better.
