I am currently studying media computing in part-time besides my day job. The studies include a mix of computer science and design with a focus on interactive media. I love creating games and you will often find me participating in game jams! 🎮

Did you ever want to develop a game with #GodotEngine 1.0?

Its binaries were lost to time, but earlier this year I fixed compilation with modern toolchains, so I could rebuild it for desktop platforms.

That's now merged: github.com/godotengine/...

I know it's not the coolest thing to bring up and not many people seem to care, but my website is hosted in a local datacenter powered entirely by wind energy and certified under ISO-14001. So my #gameassets are a good choice if you care about the environment 🌲

It’s relaxing, wholesome, and full of gentle joy.

I was wondering why @jetbrains.com took effort to obscure that "Full Code Completion" plugin uses AI. Now I know.

Their products will harvest your code for AI training. It sends "complete data about interactions with large language models", which means everything, if you use Full Line Completion.

Today we are launching Xogot for iPhone, along with a free edition.

The iPhone has been a challenging process for shrinking the UI even further.

Today, I found out the perfect analogy for "thumb-travel range": it is the mouse DPI for the human thumb.

Software cannot fix this. It's like the difference between using a mouse at 400 dpi and at 3600 dpi.

So I added a little more context to the "What is thumb-travel range" section of my page.

I loved playing this at A MAZE earlier this year!

It has a quite unique game mechanic where the weight of a story is defined by the space you give it in the newspaper. And all the characters are animals, which is really cool setting for a game like this ✨

Go wishlist it if this sounds fun to you!
