It's monday today*. The slog of working through the weekdays to get back to the weekend. A whole five days until life continues. So let me ask you: What are you doing tonight? Well, probably chores, maybe even for a couple of hours. And dinner of course, that takes time. But besides that? Even if we tend to want to...

Just noticed that I am featured on bubbles, and that shit slaps! Discoverability is the biggest problem in blogging today, and while I may have managed to get a decent RSS feed, I still continually struggle with finding new blogs. Bubbles works as a syndicator with the wide goal of sharing active, non-corporatized,...

Follow up on What I Want From Games, with inspiration from the video The 1996 Strategy Game No One Could Play - Until Now (Wages of War) I have realized what it is! The thing that makes or breaks a game for me is that the game assigns you a role, and gives you the means to act withing that role. I have always...

And now the blogs are grouped by months aswell

A slightly bigger font, and a wider page for smaller screens, should be more readable now.

A many aspiring game devs fetch the latest version of Unity, and get a surge of motivation when they manage to instantiate their first cube. Henceforth follows multiple hours of failing at creating a car using the inbuilt physics engine and rigidbody system. The Unity application lays dormant... If you identify...

I finally finished playing Return of the Obra Dinn(Great game, highly recommended), and that got me thinking about what I want from games. Many times hawe I looked at a game, not really been sold on the idea but being convinced by everyone telling me it's great, and like clockwork being dissapontied by it. Plenty of...

I have long struggled with getting things done, or atleast feeling like I'm getting enough done. It feels like there isn't enough time per day to get things done, but every time I tried to prove it by adding up all the mandatory things I needed to do, I was still left with a good handful of hours where I could do...

So to set the scene, I have been using linux since ~2016, and daily driving since ~2019. My path was roughly Ubuntu -> Kubuntu -> Arch, and that is where I have stayed. I used Gentoo a while, but my arch experience made me update every other day, and having to wait for a web-browser to compile for half a hour again...

Previous part Milestone 3 is done! For this devlog, I will share the basic gameplay loop in practice. First of, let us look in the shipyard: It's very empty, since we haven't played yet we haven't discovered any upgrades. In lore, we haven't even tried our submarine yet, so we don't know what we want. Let us head...

Previous part For this devlog, I simply want to share how I build my UI, since Lemur, the UI library I use, can be a bit tricky. First of all, I recommend creating a sketch. I like to use excalidraw, but you can use whatever you want. When you have that setup, you can start to build your UI. Of course start with the...

You know the feeling of writing (or creating) something, and it's just... not that good? Here you are, after just having put down a decent amount of effort, and it's not as thoughtful as you hoped it would be. Perhaps it's just better not post this publically, leave it uncreated. I want you to note a dissonance...
