I really enjoyed doing #PUG24 last year and decided I'm going to try to do all 24 days this year! Figured I should post them over here as well :)

There's some new scraper or AI tool that's led to me receiving three emails this past week about how I "build VR gladiator games" My portfolio's most recent work was the marketing website for GORN 2. Apparently the tools aren't smart enough to realize I made the website, not the game

All three emails are from different domains. Two of them are sales calls for helping me with "my next prelaunch/Kickstarter campaign", and the other one is a bit odd in that it ended with an ask for if I want resources on how to prototype game ideas faster

GBJam #14 just wrapped up! @efan.me (art) & I (code) put together a lil' something that you can play in your browser 👀 Duke it out with the big scary monster at brethudson.itch.io/battle-ii #gbjam14

Ethan & I collab'd 13 YEARS AGO for GBJam #2, during our first semester of college. I was 17!! It was sooooo long ago... Despite losing contact for over a decade, we found ourselves meshing with each other as if no time had passed 😄

Making a thread for me & @efan.me's #gbjam 14 game We participated in GBJam #2 back in 2013, and are teaming up once again 13 years later! To start, I've built a lil' rendering pipeline in WebGPU that takes a grayscale image, limits it to 4 colors, and then applies a color palette

With my conference travels over, I've been able to focus on game dev again Ethan's been crushing it on the art front! Plugging his sprites into my rendering pipeline has me super giddy

The conundrum of wanting to buy a bunch of courses while I'm looking for a job (lots of time, frugal living) that I'll be able to afford once I have a job (but alas, won't have as much time)

It makes me grateful that so many educators have published ample amounts of free lessons online for many of the subjects I'm interested in learning/leveling up in

Fog was one of those things that I had early in my voxel engine but had to adjust 2 or 3 times later. The pop-in problem had a lot of edge-cases

I'm 30 and a friend that's only a few years younger than me had to ask what a SWF file was in the middle of a conversation about Flash games
